I think I'll line up behind Abbey. I have no idea what any of that is but it sounds really disgusting.

Peace pudding and faggots.--No idea and no interest in faggots.

Toad in the hole--No idea

Jellied Eels--Sounds gross!

Black Pudding--No clue

Bubble & Squeak--Kind of sounds like a drink that would give you gas.

Haggis, neeps and tatties--No clue

Marmite--No clue

Spotted Dick--Wow could I comment!

Pie, mash and Liquor --No clue

I dont mind marmite and a bit of toad but you can keep the rest - nasty nasty nasty, what about whelks my old man loves them - nasty smelly things he said its like eating rubber they are good ones if they still have the little poos on .....gross

Peace pudding and faggots. == I thought faggots were cigarettes or sticks over there. Never mention pud & fag over here, if you ever visit.



Toad in the hole == a fine recreation for those that have the inclination, I understand



Jellied Eels == I do enjoy roasted eel, but jellied??



Black Pudding == chocolate? licorice?



Bubble & Squeak ==



Haggis, neeps and tatties == Bought their CD I think. Good harmony, but not my style of music



Marmite == So I'm sure; but who's gonna ask her?



Spotted Dick == Take a pill



Pie, mash and Liquor == all mixed together, or one to wash down the others?



~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now Mississippi Mud Pie? MMMMMmmmmmmm!! :yh_drool

Don't know about anything else, but toad in the hole is the best meal EVER especially with loads of gravy mmmmmmmmmm

(oops well I do know about the others.. sorry that sounded different in my head!)

and I'm a complete marmite fiend... it's really good with a cheesy baked tatty and on really buttery toast..

oh I appear to be drooling...

It's basically congealed blood pigs blood and fat cut into slices. A big scab you might say. Even being a brit I can't bring myself to try the stuff though :yh_sick

I got smacked for eating scabs when I was 4!

A little Marmite spread on the bread with smashed avocado on it is nice.

(this should be in the sooooo goood thread)

K...black pudding is a big scab? That'll be a big NO THANKS for me. The rest? Have no clue what any of it is. Can we get some descriptions, please?

party pooper!

Except for the Haggis; it's offal.

4. Black Pudding....Isn't a scab but it is a sausage mad with congealed blood and rusk eaten in different forms all round Europe




Exactly! congealed blood! It's a scab!! :wah:

Oh gross!

Okay. This isn't English. My Indonesian friends share it with me on occasion. It puts me off but to them it is such a delicacy that I feel honored that they treat me to it.

Has anyone tried Durian?

ArnoldLayne wrote: Is that the fruit that tastes better than it smells ?That's putting it mildly. Most airlines to the orient do not allow passengers to carry it on the plane.

The fruit is a giant, spiny elongate thing that hangs from trees. Don't ever sleep under one of those trees!

The fruit inside is yellow and something the texture between an unripe banana and custard. The flavor is sweet and custard like, and yet has a slight garlicy aftertaste. The smell, which fills the room the moment you open it is something like a cross between rotten onions and an open sewer!
