Never heard of soul cakes and I lived in Shropshire for 20 years 🤔


Also to the non Brits, don't get triggered by The Black Country or Faggots. Both are old terms here and neither are discriminatory!

reply

Faggots, Mrs. Bridges?!??

Ha!
I used to drink at the Irish bars in the North Bronx quite often and every once in a while a good laddy would sidle up to me smoking outside at the curb and say 'Spare a fag?'

'WTF DID YOU JUST SAY?!?'

Took me a few times to get used to it 😁

reply

😄

reply

The phrase ‘can I bum a fag?’ is not what you think.

reply

I was ready for a big dust-up the first couple times I heard it out on the sidewalk smoking a Kool in front of a pub

reply

Fags are slang for cigarettes too, aren't they?

reply

Yeah. A fsg in Britain is a cigarette. A faggot is a kind of meatball made from offal with herbs & spices in a gravy.

reply

I watch quite a few British TV shows, but wasn't sure it it was still used or not.

reply

I've read fag or faggot in literature too and it meant a bundle of sticks or kindling for a fireplace

English is a strange language!

reply

Really?! Never heard that 🤷‍♀️

reply

Yes, and also a 'faggot' can mean a torch of bundled up sticks

I seem to recall this example from The Lord Of The Rings novels, though it's been a while since I've read read them

reply

I've learned something new, thanks 👍

I've never heard of these. Are they similar to prawns?

reply

Kind of Kate, more like lobster though. Very sweet shellfish, they are expensive but delicious 😋

Sounds interesting. How pronounced is the taste of the black pepper in this?

reply

You can feel it’s peppery, but It’s not too pronounced, I think it is well balanced with other spices.

I never made it myself, just tried store bought ones. But as much as I can see from the recipe I linked here, it has equal amount of black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.

My wife carries sachets of sambal with her everywhere, just in case she has a need to douse her food in it when she’s out.

reply

Lol, that's pretty bad! Although I know Dutchies who also like to put sambal on all kinds of things, like a peanut butter sandwich.

reply

I don’t even think about it anymore, I just let her get on with it, lol.

reply

Good boy!😆

reply

Looks delish.

reply

Hey, the OP didn't ask for haute cuisine! It looks no worse than poutine.

reply

No, I'm saying it looks delicious.

reply

I thought you were joking, man. I honestly don't think it looks all that good. I would never order it at a snackbar. I made it myself at home and it was okay. The fries were still crunchy and the meat tasted good.
