A marriage made in heaven

Sorry , lot of pointless rabbit there.

Never 'ad a rabbit pie in 'Uddersfield lad, no... I seem to remember a decent beef and onion one back in the day...

Remember the old one:

In 'Uddersfield, in 'Uddersfield, there was a cow who wouldn't yield
The reason why she wouldn't yield: she didn't like 'er udders feeled...



More rabbit...

Weell, Mister Mengerton, the aldest essempel in the OED reads:

?1533 G. Du Wes Introductorie for to lerne Frenche sig. Eeiv, Ye haue alredy eaten your porage."

Etymology: Fr potage.

Well, my apologies, ff. That is very interesting. Do you know the date of that essempel? Certainly, the spelling used nowadays seems to be -idge.

There seems to be a strong correlation between your example and the traditional Edinburgh greeting, "You'll have had your tea!" More evidence of the auld alliance.

My Yorkshire grandparents and aunt always require(d) cheese with fruit cake esp. at Christmas. Are you from the North, AmpH?

I don't mind it, but I'd much rather have a cup of tea with my Christmas cake

Indeed, I am from the white rose county Caliban. I love a cup of tea with most things , but prefer something a little ' punchier ' with my Xmas cake and cheese

Ah, I am currently making use of the litre bottle of Bells I got from Tesco for £15 last week. My mix, however, is with dry ginger ale. I seem to have gone off whisky macs of late. Tonight, however, it's 10 year Talisker with spring water from certified organic land in the Ochil Hills.

... and I'm currently making use of the Waitrose Bells at the advertised bargain price of £17 reduced from £18.

So much for the posh 'commie' supermarket ... working-class capitalism wins again.

Anyway, the poem is on the wrong thread I think !

the real refreshment high point of our occasional trips back to the old county to take in a game is to watch in wordless admiration as the barmaids (sorry Customer Service agents) compete apparently effortlessly with each other to beat the world pint pulling record, with productivity levels that would make a japanese time and motion man blush..........
Ahem, sorry, went off into a little Sibelius induced reverie there.

Banana and marmite sandwiches. Use thick white crusty bread , but don't overdo the marmite !

actually on reflection I think I lied, I think I did have a balti at the Ricoh a couple of years back.
Like eating tandoori napalm....as I recall.
Pies good at Edgeley park?

I love the smell of napalm at the football.
Pies at EP are edible-ish.

Those at Morecambe FC are supposed to be the best ( football stadium ) pies in the land.

well its certainly Apocalypse Now for Hampshire's pro teams ER !!
I used to love that unique smell of beer, fags , chewing gum, pies, and whatever else. Its all so sanitised now.

Blimey! While my back's been turned........

Baked beans/chilli sauce, spicy scrambled eggs spooned over...

Vivaldi Potatoes speared with chopped garlic, steamed then buttered...

Burgen (Rye) Toast, drenched hot with butter and acacia (clear) honey...

(latter served with mulled Italian Red/Cognac, add honey to taste...
or anytime)

Curry n' chips never fails! (pref. Cantonese).

When I had a sweet tooth I would add double cream to Haagen-Dazs Belgian Choc Ice-Cream.
I lost my sweet tooth and maintained my dress size.

Can I invite myself over Jayne?
