quote: ORIGINAL: NorthernGent quote: ORIGINAL: Mungochutney Pardon me for living! Blame my parents. I have lately wondered about two limey dishes. Bangers and mash and Scouse. I can not find anything on line about them much. I go in March To Limeyland for 4 weeks and want to know,about local type foods while over there. Perhaps some of our limey cousins can contribute and inform me and others about the foods? I know about fish and chips and how they vary in taste from the north to the south. Firstly, we ain't your cousins; we're your elders and betters. Secondly, what you term Scouse is actually called 'Lob Scouse'. It's a stew native to Liverpool and is Scandinavian in origin. Thirdly, every region has its own food. Fourthly, stay where you are - you sound like a monumental idiot. Personally I do think he might enjoy a stroll down Canal Street, he might get a very friendly welcome

quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I *strongly* suggest that you eat a pound of Marmite a day, while you're there. Michael Thing with the English is that we do it our own unusual way. Marmite could only possibly be an English thing. And, yes, marmite on toast is lush.

Apparently the earth is red hot when you get down there, not that I've experienced it but he did. So a pig's trotter was hardly a major obstacle to a fella who worked 12 hour shifts in conditions unheard of today.

Nthrall -> RE: Limey cusine (12/4/2015 2:54:11 PM)
It's spelt "cuisine" from the French word for cookery. In Britain we eat burgers, curry, pizza, sandwiches and chips (known to you as French fries). So go to France instead.

He certainly deserved his enjoyment, even if I can't quite figure out why somebody would willingly eat it, but then, tastes are different. He must have had a nice set of gnashers to be able to deal with them.

He must have had a nice set of gnashers to be able to deal with them. Oh he loved it. He also loved rum. Why? Different age. The North East is entirely different to the South and the gap in taste, culture and values is quite possibly not as wide as it was then, but remains significant.

Hell, I do know, I used to live in London and absolutely LOVED it, when a few years ago they offered me to transfer to here (as in freaking Osborn territory) I thought Manchester is near by and big cities are big cities (visited briefly before and it seemed fine), let's just say I learned all about xenophobia and I do understand grunts now, some of the local accents are a bit challenging, if you don't drink or binge drink, you're a bit strange, and I never got quite used to all the bling and the weird spray tans....

quote: ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 I guess pease pudding is much the same. I agree, most are just coloured mashed cardboard. In fact, most cardboard tastes better than the offerings of pease pudding I've had. If it's made right, it should be delicious! I think the amount of ham/hock stock and seasonings (or lack of) make all the difference. Like bread pudding. I've tried loads in cafes, restaurants and shops. I always end up going back to my mums WWII recipe that I make and it's yummy! [:)] PS: my recipe for this is in the recipe section and has lots of variations for personal taste. My mum used to make pease fresh(well from soaking it overnight), every time with ham/stock/hocks...wouldnt have it any other way, but it was the consistency, im the same with mushy peas, semolina, altho I love hummus. I make a very delicious bread pudding:) the kids couldnt believe how good it tastes:) and yes, a gran recipe, as with my dark fruit cake, lol I will check out the recipe:) quote: ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze You know, the first time I saw "faggots" offered, I bought them out of curiosity, then realized meat stuff, don't like it, smelled it and the way they looked, ewwww.... Offered it to the dogs and they really love them as in "mind your fingers", they do tend to enjoy things like tripe, kidneys and other unspeakable things that basically have me almost cowering in fear in a corner... I literally cannot handle the smell cooking, liver, tripe, hearts, kidleys, shudder. But then Im like that with fish too, as a kid, my dad and I used to fish a lot, the local pike were sposed to be delicious(nasty) We went down to cornwall to spend 2 weeks with my uncle that had a boat out of padstow, crabbing, lobsters and mackerel. We had a full week of gutting and smoking the mackerel, scooping out the lobster and crab for a local restaurant and for sale in the harbour. we had mackerel, smoked, fried, stewed, baked. Lost my taste for fish and shellfish. Same with winkles, n jellied eels. The only fish I enjoy is trout, catching and eating:) quote: ORIGINAL: NorthernGent Ever had a saveloy dip? yes, but not in 20 years. Love me some marmite, but it has to be just right...too much and it is horrible, but my mouth is watering thinking about it. I really need to get home for a visit.

DesFIP -> RE: Limey cusine (12/4/2015 7:43:24 PM)
Boiled pigs feet? That's disgusting. Everyone knows they're far superior deep fried or grilled. You need to crisp them up to make them edible.

Greta75 -> RE: Limey cusine (12/4/2015 7:50:59 PM)
Chip butty is the English food I can't wrap my mind around. Greasy French fries and bread with butter and ketchup or was it HP Sauce?! Sounds like serious heart attack, and carbs on carbs! How do people crave for that!

chattelmansub -> RE: Limey cusine (12/5/2015 9:30:35 AM)
Many dishes were invented that reflected the poverty most people experienced. Far worse than now are even in centuries past. The ingenuity of people in producing cheap and tasty meals was amazing. They knew little about nutrition back then are even obesity. Actually despite the bad diets few people got liver or heart disease compared to the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries.

Bunnicula -> RE: Limey cusine (12/5/2015 11:18:45 AM)
I LOVE chip butties! Except round here they don't use ordinary bread, they use stotties which are a circular unleavened bread which is indigenous to the North East of England. The stottie has to be sliced open, lots of butter, then hot chips and salt on top before the lid is put on. It's a heart attack waiting to happen but its worth the occasional risk [:D]

LadyConstanze -> RE: Limey cusine (12/5/2015 11:25:53 AM)
You are such a perverted bunny

NorthernGent -> RE: Limey cusine (12/5/2015 11:48:21 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic yes, but not in 20 years. So, how does a lass from the South (I assume from the South as you say Mum and not Mam), or at least the Midlands, know about savelop dips? No one I know outside of the North East has heard of 'em.
