RE: OT: my England diary, hiccup!

Ah, Marta, Marta, Marta, if you are in ENGLAND, you didn't eat sausages-you

ate BANGERS. :-) One of my favourite dishes is " bangers and mash. " LOVE it!

I also love bubble and squeak (so named for the sound it makes cooking).

Jim

Who doesn't believe Marta is in England. :-)

Sunday: Ate sausages, drank whiskey.

[Guest guest]

Jim,

That's why I was confused at first, sausages are from Germany, Bangers are

from England. I almost forgot that distinction. Either that or poor Marta

was having a typical American meal, mixed cuisines. LOL

Well, they do manage to wrap sausage around almost anything here!

lol I had a Scotch Egg. A boiled egg wrapped in sausage, breaded adn

deep fried. Yum! I haven't really eaten sausage on a daily basis,

but also have not had any mash(ed potatoes). No one has mentioned

bangers to me, for that matter. They may be translating everything

into American for me.

One thing is the kettle, I will be buying a new one when I get home.

I am in love with their cordless insulated kettle. It is amazingly

fast, but probably due to the 220 voltage, huh?

I am teasing Jim with my little diary! I left out walking the dog on

the bank in my Wellies.

Boy, is THAT the truth, Jerry!

I suppose only those who have travelled extensively would get all these

little jokes! LOL But I can see our Marta tossing back a pint or two in a

nice Pub in Merry Old. I wonder if Marta knows what " Pub " is an abbreviation

for.

Marta.

The whiskey was the give-away that you were definitely NOT in Germany.

There it would have been " Ate sausages; drank BEER!! " ;-))

Nice to know you enjoyed yourself.

[Guest guest]

I don't think it's the voltage, Marta. I have a friend with one of those new

fangled cordless kettles and that baby will heat the water in nothing flat!

It takes less time to boil the water than it does to steep the tea!

It was two half pints and i was knockered afterward. Then we had

whiskey at home. Then i passed out.

" public house " . Yes, i finally found the " key on this brit

keyboard. Yes, I double checked with an expert before I posted my

reply to verify i had the correct answer.

I finally got DS stools, however. Avoid Fish & Chips, be warned!

off to do a bit of train-spotting at another pub in nearby Howden

What I meant was, Hobnobs are an oatmeal tea biscuit usually covered in

chocolate. It's interesting that the hobnobs and pancakes have almost

identical ingredients but each are so different from the other.

Thanks, Jim. I may have time to try one before I leave. Today is my

day of rest. I think their tea bags have more tea in them than ours?

Maybe not.
