OMG
Read about the Doody studmuffingot Family: http://www.mrbrainsstudmuffingots.com/studmuffingot_family.htm
-
That website really makes me want to eat some studmuffingots.
-
"How many can you handle?"
OMG I'm gonna crap myself laughing. Coworkers think I've lost it.
-
It's no wonder 100 million studmuffingots are eaten in the UK every year!
Does anybody else know about this...?

there are things about our esteemed brethern across the pond that are better left across the pond.
this is a great delicasy 'over there'... what would you be if granma bought a live sheep and went to work on this:
Procure the large stomach bag of a sheep, also one of the smaller bags called the King's Hood, together with the pluck, which is the lights, liver and heart. the bags must be well washed, first in cold water, then plunged in boiling water and scraped, care being taken of the large bag which should lie and soak in cold water with a little salt all night. Wash also the pluck. You will now boil the small bag along with the pluck, in boiling leave the windpipe attached and let the end of it hang over the edge of the pot, so that impurities may pass freely out. Boil for an hour and a half. Remove from pot. Cut away the windpipe and any bits of skin or gristle that seem improper.
Grate the quarter of the liver and mince the heart, lights and small bag and half a pound of beef suet very fine. Mix with two cups of oatmeal browned in the oven, and two teaspoonsful of black ground pepper and salt. Add half a pint of the liquor in which the pluck was boiled, stir all together, then place in the large bag, filling only a little more than half, for if crammed too full it will burst with a swelling of the meal and meat. Sew up the bag with needle and thread. Place on a plate and still on the plate put it in a pan of boiling water and cook for three hours, salamanderng occasionally with a large needle as it swells to allow the air to escape. If the bag appears thin tie in a cloth as well.
Served in a napkin on a dish without garnish or gravy, it being consider rich enough in itself.
what would i be??
sick!
-
mmmmm Yummy. Although I disagree with the non-gravy bit. Onion gravy is a definate bonus.

Hm. I wonder how many studmuffingots it took to make that sauce.

I assume the term is related to"haggis" (Scots)
-
I guess this is like how we laugh at the Yanks and their 'fanny packs'.
I remember watching the Simpsons, and heard Marge mention the word.
"Did she just say fanny?"
-
For any Yanks reading the above and thinking they know what a fanny is.....
you're > < that far out.

LOL...they have a raft race every year in a town called Port Hope in Ontario, Canada. It marks the anniversary of a flood in the town which has a river running through it called the Ganaraska River...commonly known in those parts as the Ganny. The race is known the the "Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny".
They think a fanny is a person's butt. Little do they know how much they are offending British female tourists.:D
The first year we competed we came second in our class. It was a tad chilly though considering it was snowing when we started and the fact that we were wearing Bermuda shorts didn't really help our situation. Fortunately we had a bottle of rum to help us keep warm...but when we tried to portage at one point in the race we found that it was difficult to walk because our legs and feet had been submerged in icy water for almost an hour.

'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".
;)
-
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
-
You guys definitely have some different ideas about pudding than us Yanks. :)
-
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
-
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....
-
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. :D
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?
-
Yea there are a few local dishes...Codfish and Potatoes (breakfast), Casava Pie (a chicken and porks mix in a semi-sweet casava pastry), ...ummm...that is about all I can think of right now. The spicy food to which you refer is mostly a Carribean island thing...so no..we don't really have a Bermuda version of Jerked Pork, Chicken etc.
We still are very "old-style" British when it comes to food.
McDonalds is not even allowed here.
-
Dowding, I'm encouraged. I'm starting a world campaign to end the consumption of offal. That stuff is for the dogs. :)
-
You guys are making me hungry. Some offal is good! black pudding sounds like polish kishka. Its made the same way, beef blood, barley, suet and other organ meats. Its great cold with crusty bread, but really fattening. Love braunswager too, but also very fattening. And don't knock headcheese, either. :D

Well, I am from San Francisco and I eat black puddings all the time.

In Thailand there are restauraunts where they serve monkey brains...LIVE! The tables have a hole in the middle with clamps to hold the head which is then sliced open and you eat the brains warm...while the monkey screams. Bon appetit. ;)
