the local butcher and and the local ..this morning

[marie]

watch the butcher's right hand with the knife




this must be santa's local when he is around

[marie]

jeepers , I nearly forgot the sausages

[dewmuw]

Can I have 1lb of Nolan's Sizzlers please?

[marie]

can I interest you in the black pudding ?

or a streaky rasher or two ?

[stoneylonesome]

Hot sausage I trust and pass the black pudding please. Wait a minute I thought sausages were called bangers over there, now I'm confused again (still)

[marie]

can you get black pudding in the states Sandy?


we don't call them bangers

the people in the uk do


bangers are a different subject
(over here )

[stoneylonesome]

Only if you make it yourself I think

1 lb Pig's liver
1 1/2 lb Unrendered lard, chopped
120 fl Pig's blood
2 lb Breadcrumbs
4 oz Oatmeal
1 Medium onion, chopped
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Allspice
1 Beef casings

Always served with an Irish "fry". The preparation of this pudding may be impractical these days due to the difficulty of procuring fresh pig's blood and casings.

Stew liver in boiling salted water until tender. Remove liver, and mince. Reserve cooking liquor. Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Stir thoroughly until blended. Fill casings with mixture. Tie off in one-foot loops. Steam for 4-5 hours. Leave until cold.

Cut into 1/2 inch slices as required and fry in hot fat on both sides until crisped.

On second thought I'm trying to unclog my arteries so I think I'll pass on this.

Marie, I hate to be regionalist about this - but you only get real Black Pudding in Lancashire! And I have some at home already - yum yum! So put t'kettle on!

Sandy, we do called them bangers, but only with mash! If you really want to be confused come over here and ask someone if they have a spare fag in their fanny pack!!!

Doesn't "fanny" refer to a certain part of the female anatomy? Or is that in Australia? I'm a bit confused also...

[dewmuw]

Depends where you are from. As a youngster I would always be reduced to fits of laughter when in American TV shows they'd talk about giving men a "pat on the fanny". Thankfully my humour has matured since then. But it did genuinely cause my mate from Oregon some trouble when he went into a shop in Portland and asked if they sold fags! (They are still smoked in the UK)

Isn't language a wonderful thing!
