Would a kind ENGLISH player explain THIS PRODUCT to me?

[Flash-Bugout]

Famine, Indian is no longer the uK's top dish, Chinese has taken over not only that but apparently there is a national shortage of curry chefs for the indian restaurants! It's amazing the rubbinsh you learn from watching news 24 in the middle of the day!

Toad in the hole sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like "Pigs in the Blanket", which is sausage in pankakes.

Now WHY do you brits come up wiht weird names for your food?

"Bangers and Mash" : Sausage in mashed potatoes
"Fish and Chips" : fried fish and FRIES! NOT chips! "CHIPS" are flat fried potato slices, NOT french fries!

who's bloody language is it anyway

Ok Guys we can tell you don't cook!

The "shudder "Tined variety is a heavy sponge ( yes there is such a thing) with dries fuite ie rasins.
...
The egg "in" toast thing is eggy bread ie beat an egg and a little milk togther
...
Toad in the hole bake sausages in the oven drain off lard pour over batter ( the same as pancakes or yorkshire pudding) bake.

Yes we do have some weird names but tweenkies I ask you?

Twinkies. Umm... http://www.twinkies.com/index.asp It's supposedly a 'sponge cake' with a 'cream filling'. Personally, I wouldn't eat it unless I was desperate. I mean, I dont' trust a food product with no "goes bad" date. It's so filled with preervatives that if you eat one before you die, they don't need to embalm you.

Egg in toast doens't sound too bad.

Sparklie, I think I'm gonna e-mail you about this 'toad in hole' thing, sounds intresting it does.

And, paintball players cooking? My idea of a square meal is a wendy's hamburger (Theyr'e not round, they're square, ya see..) I cook on a BBQ grill, any opportunity to work with raw meat and open flame, I'm there. You can bring a BBQ grill to a paintball field in your trunk! Raw meat, testosterone, open flames, and brats! YUMMY!

And, anyone know WHY they named such a product "Spotted dick"?

I thought that was what is called French Toast. The egg in toast I though Micah was referring to was where you cut a square hole in the middle of a (preferably very thick) slice of bread, put it in the frying pan with fat & break an egg into the middle. Fry on both sides until the egg is cooked so you get fried egg & fried bread all in one. Obscenely fattening, great hangover breakfast!

Yeah! that's the one!

Just a little note on British cookery,
It has "History", something our overseas counterparts forget. Dates back to times before open trade and good fridges! Food was designed to be cheap, long lasting and above all else stodgy, to put and keep a good layer of fat on ya bones to get you through our uk weather
...
Also note that the UK boasts one of the largest range of foreign cookery from french, indian (possibly the uks fave) to even some more obscure stuff. Most UK chefs are classically french trained in catering and can do more than "flip a burger"

so back off uk food, Its bloody smashing.
...
Hey tyger mail me your address and ill send ya some top food, but i WILL leave marmite outa it

In reverse order : Top food? Mailed form England?

I've been to London int eh not-so-recent past, Met a crazy Welshman in a pub there, had a good time. Actually, I did like the food, even though I got some weird looks when I asked for a hamburger. Found this chinese resturant off of Picadilly that blew my mind. That and I was puzzled to see so many american places like KFC there.

And a bit about American cooking too. A lot of our original cooking was brought over from "over there", but as we moved west, we developed our own methods of cooking for many of the same reasons. But a lot of our stuff is meant to be cooked over open flames. MY kid does "rendezvous", reenactments of 1800's fur trade era times. He knows some recipies for cooking meats that are incredible. There's also a lot of venison, turkey, and a lot of other stuff that you can just happen to find out here if you'r einto hunting.

Now, naturally, we have a lot of fast food. That and we've got a lot of experemental food too. I mean, sushi made it here (along with karaoke, which I still think is evil). I can make a phone call and get someone to deliver pizza, Mai Fun, or a sub sandwich.

Dammit, now I'm hungry. Wonder where I left the box of mac & cheese. (Oh, wait, it needs to sound classy....) Where'd I leave the pasta and cheese sauce?

PS : HEEY! Mr. BIG! Still got Bob Long's recipie for mutton sandwich?

are real man type cooking
as to why its called spotted dick, it was a long roll with dried fruit in it and the english sense of humour 3-400 years ago was a little bit unsophisticated
