Two studmuffingots in Gravy Please

[cpxxx]

'Two countries divided by a common language'

I can safely say I've never had a studmuffingot. But I can't wait to try one. I was fascinated to see that Mr Brains studmuffingot company is a subsidiary of an Irish company. Let me tell you there are no studmuffingots in Ireland, no we export them to Britain where they become famous.  (You Yanks won't get that joke)

But we do have studmuffins, although they are very expensive and becoming less socially acceptable all the time.

As for fannys, I remember reading Chuck Yeagers bio, in it he constantly referred to waxing someone's fanny during ACM. I originally thought he was being very rude. Waxing a fanny sounds very painful indeed!

come on, out with it~!

Put it this way - it's not the sort of word you would use in front of a prospective mother in law.

And fanny pack sounds positively obscene.

I've never had haggis or studmuffingots.

Fanny (vulgar): Beaver (vulgar), avacado

from http://www.pericles.demon.co.uk/amer-eng/



I see why you brits think the word is so funny now.  I'll probably give it a good chuckle next time some grandmother says "fanny" as a childish version of "butt."

Tarmac, Thanks for the dictionary link. Funny how words take on such different meanings in a common language on each side of the "pond".

[Tarmac]

I found it funny that beaver and fanny were both vulgar, but avacado is not considered bad enough to get the vulgar tag.  

I know I'd get funnier looks using the word avacado conversationally than I'd get for using fanny or beaver.  

Maybe that's cause avacado is just a damn funny word.

studmuffingots Chips n Peas with lashings of gravy
Food for champions

Dowding you wanna try brains's they are real tasty kinda like a well seasoned sausage taste with consistancy of a firm scone

Best cooked in oven i've found (do not come in from a day on the piss and think slapping a brains 6 pack in the oven and falling into a coma to be awoken by black acrid smoke and smoke alarm going off at full tilt) I advise staying awake to eat studmuffingots before they resemble bbq charcoal   lol

Ohh place i lodged at yrs ago was my Gaz's my m8 he used to go balistic about me doing that after a marathon session  lmao   look on his face as he removed a molten/charcoaled remain/s from his oven was fab  lol

Dowding you like blackpudding ??  if ya aint tried it, Buy a ring (from butchers) and half it and then slice along to produce kinda like bana shape half pieces then batter them and deep fry serve with chips peas etc it's a real nice spicy meal

For those who don't know what blackpudding is...

It is dried out blood inside a sausage skin.  

Some people love it...but to me it tastes like...well, dried out blood in a sausage skin.

Hiya's,
Yeah BP is pigs blood mixed with barley cows lard (firm stuff not melting crap) and plenty of seasonings

Now due to concern of blood etc the blood has to be dried then powdered and sterilised (EU directive i assume)

It's dear to buy for what it is as not many butchers make their own

Bro in law used to be a master butcher (til he slipped with a boning knife!) he could make it from liquid pigs blood mix it and then taste it for seasoning but get this.. He could'nt eat it once it had been boiled or cooked  lmao   weird chap i swear

[funkedup]

You guys definitely have some different ideas about pudding than us Yanks.  

[Dowding]

I have had black pudding (I am from Yorkshire ). It is ok, but not my most favourite thing in the world.

I don't really like offal. Although I'd rather eat that than Quorn or Tofu.

I once ate an eyeball. The lens was kind of rigid and had to spat out.  Brains is not exactly my kind of thing. Ever watch Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom? I love that banquet scene, where the woman freaks out upon being presented with "Chilled Monkey Brains". Ewww!

Okay..how about some GOOD British food that is relevant to this time of year...

Hot Cross Buns dripping in butter....mmmmmmm

[Dowding]

I like curry. That's the national dish these days.

lol..it's funny 'cause it's true.

Not I though...here in the colonies we were saved from the curry plague that invaded Great Britain.

Here it is still things like Treacle Tart, Slippery Dicks, Yorkshire Puddings (probably a fav of yours Dowding ), Toad in the Hole, Bangers and Mash, mushy peas, Hot Cross Buns, Steak and Kidney Pie, etc, etc....

[Dowding]

Yeah, I can cook a mean Yorkshire pudding. And every Yorkshireman thinks his mum cooked the best pudding in the world.

The funny thing is that curries found in Britain are nothing like those you find in India. The British perchant for gravy meant that curries tended to have much more sauce - Chicken Tikka Masala was actually invented in Britain.

The British empire was set-up just to increase the dietry range of the average Briton.

Do they have local dishes in Bermuda? I would have thought there would be lots of chillies and stuff in there. Do they do a version of the Jamaican jerk chicken?
