Ah I see, Pudding over here in Britain generally means any kind of dessert, if I understand it pudding is something a lot like a yogurt or something to that degree over in America.

So, blobs of pancake batter that have had meat juices congealing on them for a couple of hours is dessert? Excuse me while I shudder and rock back and forth in the fetal position for a few hours...

I don't care much for spam, but I still voted spam, egg, sausage, and spam. That's not got much spam in it.

No, that's eaten either with or before a main course.

They can be eaten as a pudding, but normally with the things you would put on pancakes (syrup, ice cream etc etc)

I tried this steak and kidney pie at a pub in England years ago. Was absolutely addicted. Had it every night the remaining few days I was there. Unreal stuff. Also, is organ meat a common thing in British food? I know a lot of people in the US seem to turn their noses up at it. I don't have so much of a problem, but I am considered pretty adventursome when it comes to my vittles.

The most common organs eaten in England would be Kidney and liver, while in Scotland they have Haggis.

Hmmm.... Haaaaaagis...

here in my area of tenneess we have scrapple- its sort of like spam mixed with sausage, but with a more mysterious ingredients list

and it may be what nightmares are made of.

whats actually in haggis?

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.

There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.

In some ways, the northeastern United States dish scrapple resembles haggis, however scrapple differs in the following ways: it uses pig offal instead of sheep offal and cornmeal instead of oatmeal; it is a meatloaf rather than a sausage; and it is fried instead of being boiled. As a result, the appearance and the flavour vary significantly. So the resemblance lies more in the fact that it is a combination of offal, grain and vegetables than in any specific ingredient or cooking style.

We have something similar in the Midwest, but we usually call it Mulligan. You take whatever leftover meat and starchy side-dishes you have leftover in the fridge, add anything that you can bring yourself to dump in the pot (Mushrooms, french fries, halves of dried-out crab rangoon, etc) and as much ketchup as you have and cook it on really low heat, stirring regularly until about half an inch is burned to the bottom of the pot. You slap a steaming blob of that on everybody's plate, slather it in hot sauce and glare at them real hard if the slightest protest is raised. It's all about the presentation. It also repels all sort of household pests, including roaches and sponging relatives.

Wisconsin makes some of the best ice creams, its so good in fact that they call it frozen custard.

I can't help but feel that I helped to inspire this thread.

SPAM!!!



Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam

Gotta agree with GBF here. Fish 'n chips. There's a great one but two minutes walk from my house.

Fish Supper is good, but only in Scotland where you can get chippy sauce (Essentially HP mixed with Vinegar to a watery consistency. LOVELY!)

I could right go for a Toad in the Hole right now. Tasty that!

And as for Spam, what of the Spam Javelin?

Fish and chips= Fish and French Fries.

Chik-fil-A= Chicken Sammiches + Waffle Fries (aka fried chicken and waffles).

Reminds me of the Hot Dogs available at my local Pretzel Stand. Essentially, it's a pigs cock cunningly chopped and reshaped to resemble....a pigs cock.

Tasty though!

French fries are thin and crunchy.

Proper chips are quite thick and potatoey on the inside and a bit crunchy on the outside.

Haslet
Head Cheese
[see forum posting rules]

Potted shrimp
Cromer crabs

I should start cross-posting these to the Euphemisms thread.

Crunchy Frog anyone.

Different movie entirely, but reference noted.

spam.....still a safer bet then that potted meat made with "mechanically separated chicken"

CAN'T I GET ANYTHING WITHOUT SPAM IN IT!?!?!?!

nope
for spam is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end...of breakfast foods

so says the survey, so says us all
