    Bubble and squeak - it's made with left over vegetables ... will always contain potato and usually cabbage or brussel sprouts ... plus any other left over veg. It's just mashed together and then fried. Often eaten with ham or gammon.

    Welsh rarebit/ rabbit - there are lots of different recipes you make a mixture of mature chedder with other things which can be mustard, worcestershire sauce, beer, cayenne pepper ...etc and then it is just that mixture cooked on toast.

    Black pudding - a blood sausage :sick:

    Spotted dick - is a desert/pudding that contains raisins/sultanas. I like it's cousin jam roly poly :mrgreen:

    Any more Britishisms you would like explained?
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Soused Pigs Face?

    Well gurning is just pulling a face. In gurning contests it's just pulling the best/worst face you can. If people have false teeth they will take these out as it allows them to pull a better/worse face. Make sense? I have never and I presume I will never see a gurning competition.

    I guess some are similar because we are physically pretty close to each other and have similar produce ... some similar dishes may have different names.

    Have you visited either place?

    EDIT: never heard of soused pigs face ... thrilla?

    no, SOs family still owns a castle in Ireland and there is talk about going to visit next year, though I don't think it will happen. I've been to many Irish bars and they have the typical Corned Beef and Cabbage, Blood Sausage, Bangars and Mash, then they toss in English Style Fish and Chips. Then Thrilla mentioned he likes pastys...I have to make SO pastys once a month.

    Do you eat pastys with gravy?

    No just by themselves they are not served with anything and you usually just hold them and eat them. Bangers and mash is British rather than Irish I think ... and I think Heineken Helen said that corned beef and cabbage is American Irish not Irish Irish ... they would make it with pork not beef

    With fish and chips do you guys get chips or french fries?

    No!

    I thought Thrilla was referring to those little tassle things that exotic dancers glue to their nipples.

    So you're telling me I shouldn't be picturing him with tassels on his nipples? Swinging in a circle?

    D-man: tiramisu

    and chime:
    Pasties are still very popular throughout Cornwall and other parts of the United Kingdom, and Brittany in France. They are also popular in the northern United States, especially in Butte, Montana the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Iron Range of northeastern Minnesota, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.

    that's where he gets it from...and they eat pastys with beef gravy...or chili...

    depending on the restuarant, you can get real 'chips' but here 'chips' are usually french fries. That's gotta be confusing when someone visits another country!

    Do you LOVE chocolate?
