There's a huge difference between a battered sausage and a toad-in-the-hole.

First time I encountered it (though it was offered as "deep fried mars bar") I felt physically sick just from looking at it, you know when you feel your arteries clogging up from just looking at such an amount of saturated fat...

Back on thread, we call fish and chips a fish supper up here, don't matter what time you get it, its still a supper, and your dinner (evening meal) is called your tea, so I could be having a fish supper for my tea!

Yes yes, but if I had said sausages in batter, the joke wouldnt have worked.

actually that's not always the case. most people where I live would say that too, but my family, and others don't fall in with that. Dinner is the main meal of the evening, and anything later than that is supper. afternoon tea would be served before dinner.

Not bad Lucy! Although 'face' would sound more like 'f-yes' round here

I was in the supermarket last night when I overheard some delightful young ladies having a heated discussion.

Both ladies were clearly chavs with cooncil hoose facelifts, coke-can fringes and parrot-perchers hanging oot tha lugs.

One said to the other 'the cheeky get tellt uz to sling me hook!'.

Her friend replied 'Ah'd twat the fecker if ah wus ye! Stick ya fist in hes gob!'.



I can hear this in my head (very talented typing skills there).
I love the accent. I could listen to it all day. Understand it, no.

Guess what you get if you order a "Fisherman's Platter"? - You get a steak and all the trimmings. <grin> Just what a fisherman would want after being at sea and eating fish for months.

How, if you want a huge selection of poached, fried, baked, and pickled fish... order a "Housewife's Platter".

I had another food giggle there when the head of training took all of the trainees out to "a typical German Pub" as he put it. I'm fine with technical books in German, but when they handed me a menu done in fraktur script; I punted. "Herr S____, in fraktur I can barely tell if it is pig or chicken on the menu. Would you order for me? A typical local dish an American has probably never had."

Well the exotic local dish they brought to the guy who had grown up in the rural deep south was... wait for it... smoked hog jowls and turnip greens. I had to call my grandmother and share the giggle over that.

This is probably the time when I should tell my usual anecdote about fish and chips and how they won us World War 1. (I caught a documentary on fish and chips in the early afternoon once, and sat through it both in fascination and in fascination that I was fascinated with it.)

Anyway, troops on both sides were half starved when they enlisted for their respective armies. An army marches on its stomach, as Boney said. Our chaps were fed fish and chips - cheap (to us - potatoes grow everywhere in the UK, our island's used to fishing); theirs remained underfed. As every Brit knows, if you can get past the initial grease-induced nausea, a round of fish and chips will leave you so fortified you'll feel like you could tie a knot in a machine gun.

That's the one! Face so tight you could bounce a coin off the cheeks


Reminds me of the Elizabethan technique of having long locks above the ears that would be passed to the nape of the neck and tied tightly.. "beauty locks"
