I'm sorry I Googled. I'm sorry I ever brought up the subject. Oh, wait, you were the one who brought up the subject with a photograph of your own.<br /><br />:)rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-24082172682339795912009-06-07T23:48:17.275+01:002009-06-07T23:48:17.275+01:00I don't often eat Black Pudding, because it...I don't often eat Black Pudding, because it's not terribly healthy and the thought of it's a bit off-putting - - but I love it!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-47057224739827710392009-06-07T23:00:44.571+01:002009-06-07T23:00:44.571+01:00I just thought that, as an educated American (and ...I just thought that, as an educated American (and that's not an oxymoron), you'd have tried to Google it. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hE0KjY2688Silverbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291532400330204120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-49593014900203554272009-06-07T21:45:23.789+01:002009-06-07T21:45:23.789+01:00My question about Black Pudding was neither faceti...My question about Black Pudding was neither facetious nor rhetorical.

I remember with fondness <i>Two Fat Ladies</i> toodling around the U.K. on a motorcycle and sidecar when they weren't busy in the kitchen cooking up their own particular brand of mischief. Some of their food looked positively awful (an oxymoron, eh, what?) to American eyes.<br /><br />No offense.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-55132302049668108812009-06-06T11:49:57.320+01:002009-06-06T11:49:57.320+01:00Depresses me to see that.

The British diet is so invariably sh*t, especially at the lower end of the social spectrum where it really is dire; depressing.Milohttp://theyearzero.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-19827181668463862872009-06-06T00:53:31.065+01:002009-06-06T00:53:31.065+01:00I remember all the breakfasts at the B & B'...I remember all the breakfasts at the B & B's we stayed at. We'd sneak the sausages into ziplock bags to have as sannies for our lunch. There was still a ton of food to eat.

I mean, there's no apostrope, so do they mean a carvery made of cooked children, or do they actually give each child a carving knife and a roast joint?<br /><br />The mind boggles!jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.com
