You would be hard pressed to find Cod and chips wrapped in newspaper anywhere in England today.

All stopped by the "Elf & Safety" dra-goons years ago and funny enough a recent poll taken in Yorkshire proved that people preferred their fish and chips in newspaper "cos they tasted better".

Reb

And if theres anything to put you off your dinner its to unwrap your fish and chips to find a picture of Amy winehouse/Boris Johnson staring up at you!.Put you off F&C's for life!!

Rob

P.S Pass the Ketchup.

Okay:

I know that one.........

Crest has been shown to be an effective decay preventive dentifrice,
that can be of signifiant value when used in a comprehensively applied program or oral hygiene and regular professional care.

One of the Two Fat Ladies noted that in an episode of their show, too. They did tell the audience where to find an excellent bacon sandwich, though.

Those ladies were great, and it's said that Jennifer Patterson passed. It was interesting to see that there is more to British cuisine than the stereotypes.

Prost!

Brad, you need to search the forums for the discussion that went on a while ago about deep fried Mars bars! that may change your mind about us.

lol, maybe that's where Elvis got his taste for deep-fried peanut butter sandwiches, too.

Seriously, I found it fascinating, but at the same time, almost self-evident, some of the dishes they prepared. Fish and seafood, for example. I'm sure most people think that the only fish the British eat is in the form of fish and chips. Jennifer and Clarissa showed that there's more to it than that, because after all, Britain is surrounded by the sea. Makes perfect sense.

And the beer! And game, and the use of seasonal fruits. And a "ducal cut of beef". Mmmmmmmm-beef, aghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghl!

That was a great show, much better than any of the cooking shows currently on the Food Channel. For me, they're right up there with the Frugal Gourmet.

Prosit!

I think the answer is, there isn't one

A better question would be:
"What is engraved on the Regimental Clock Tower?

"We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go
Always a little further; it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow
Across that angry or that glimmering sea..."
Now about that boat house, could one of you local lads pop over and have a look?

Getting back the the subject (there was one in here somewhere I suspect) -

Every time I see the title to this thread I'm reminded of a classic rendition of Rule Britannia!

It's fun to see...

Larry: How did they finally get to you?
Sam: They gave me a grasshopper.
Larry: What's a grasshopper?
Sam: Lessee, two parts gin, one part brandy, one part Creme de Menthe...
...
Sam: Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach you.
Vincent: Who taught you?
Sam: I don't remember. That's the second thing they teach you.
...
Spence: You ever kill anybody?
Sam: I hurt somebody's feelings once.
...
Sam: What's in the case?
Deirdre: That isn't necessary.
Sam: Is it heavy, is it explosive, is it chained to some unlucky bloke's wrist? Are we gonna have to chop it off?
Deirdre: All right. But I am not under any obligation to let you know...
Sam: If not, the price has gotta go up. I'll get you the case, but the price has gotta go up. If it's gonna be a amateur night, I want a hundred thousand dollars. I want it upfront. I want it in a bank account. I want another $100,000 when you get the case.
