Ewww... I just kinda lost my appetite.

Yeah, and I'd guess there is also a reason Marmite didn't cross the pond.

Cheers

You know, speaking of food names (and differences between countries)...one thing I really liked about Asia was they don't really have any weird names for anything. They just call it whatever is in the dish.

So, there's no General Tso's chicken, or Kung Pao whatever. It's just chicken & peppers, or chicken and rice, or bok choy with tofu, etc. Asian menus in China and many other Asian countries don't look anything like they do in the west with all the romanticized titles.

As we say down here in ol' Mexico:

¡UFA!

Yeah, I could do that. Several times over. With some flour tortillas. And a few cold beers.

(Still wouldn't swap it for muh biscuits and gravy, though.)

Is that UK?

If you want to drive halfway to Canada I'll have you belching BBQ for weeks

Have you ever tried Beefy Bovril? Is the South African version of Marmite/Vegemite. Much more beefy tasting.

I don't care for the two latter, but the former rocks! Wish I could find it here.

Well, I just collected me a few new recipes. Singin' Hinnies for the b'fast one day soon. Toad in the Hole and Fidget Pie for supper before long.

As stated elsewhere, I love me a good steak & kidney pie with a dark beer.

That meal was a great way to start the day in the military.

Cheers

Good old "SOS' S on a shingle. I would pour it over my eggs it was so good. Some days it had chipped beef in it and that was good too. Grade "D" beef on the meat when I had KP duty back in the 80's and opened one of those boxes... Grade D?!? I was thinking Horsemeat.

I had to laugh a little bit at the first video. Much love to my Brit brothers and sisters, but y'all don't have much room to be so reticent about food. You're good at a lot of things, but cooking and food definitely ain't one of them! Sorry! LOL!

Even more ironic (to me anyway) is, Brits in my experience seem to love gravy on, well...everything,... so I can't imagine why these guys would be so puzzled about "biscuits" (not cookies or crackers) with gravy on them. As a matter of fact, I can't even think of a British dish which doesn't have gravy or sauce of some kind on it.

I always ribbed my UK buddies that the gravy and sauce was the lubricant required to choke down the awful overcooked food there. Most agreed. LOL! I was kidding of course; not all of it is awful, but quite a bit of it is.

They can make some tasty seafood. Lobster mac and cheese was fantastic.

What sausage do you use?

In New Jersey its pork roll or as its know here Taylor Ham

Part of the Taylor Ham , Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich

Then again there is RED EYE GRAVY

Using black coffee to deglaze a pan after cooking slice of country ham in it

a reply to: firerescue

Sometimes I add a little flour to that, but mostly not.

Had Toad in the Hole for supper tonight.

a reply to: AwakeNotWoke

I always thought a Yorkshire pudding was their upscale version of biscuits and gravy. I enjoy biscuits and gravy a few times a year. Sausage gravy and biscuits. I actually just had biscuits and gravy. Oven roasted chicken legs mashed potatoes, succotash with the broth and pan drippings and powdered stock mixed with corn starch to thicken it. With unsweetened iced tea. I don't like southern sweet tea unless its got lemon in it. Beans on toast? Blech.

a reply to: AwakeNotWoke

Yeah?

Well, just think about what goes through a Yank's mind when one of you fellows talks about eating spotted dick.

I know you Yanks' have a thing about our tea but there's no need to make me choke on it from laughter!!

Seperated by a common language indeed!!

That looks lovely, but I think it's called a heart attack isn't it, or is that for more than 1 person?!?!?!
