Bri Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 steak and kidney pie with yorkshire pudding...I miss english food...sigh... Yes, it's hard to find fresh Yorkshire outside of England. And Yorkshire pudding made from canned Yorkshire just isn't the same. JPS Okay, for those non-Brits in the crowd, what is Yorkshire pudding? Link to comment
JPS Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Well, I have to admit that I'm also an non-Brit, so I don't really know. But I'm pretty certain that it's not actually made from Yorkshire (which is a county in England, somewhere to the north-east. If you're non-british enough not to know that, it might be a bit hard to get the joke, I suppose. Either that, or it's not really funny...) JPS Link to comment
Loké Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yorkshire pudding was invented when food was short. First invented [iIRC] to give to children they worked their way onto the plate of any 'true' roast beef meal. [Peas, Potatoes, usually mashed, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and gravy] Anyway. In essance it's a little pancake batter put into a tray hole [you know, the trays with the 'dents' for little cupcakes trays] and baked in the oven until they rise. And they bleedin' well rise. Very nice with gravy. [i can tell *your* american Bri, not knowing about these! ] Link to comment
Rusalka Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I must add that Yorkshire pudding is extremely greasy, and personally I never developed a taste for them. Overcooked, however, they make great hockey pucks. Link to comment
Loké Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Liar! They aren't [that] greasy! Hocky pucks? Canadian are we? I always used them for catapult ammo. Link to comment
Bri Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 LOL...its cool JPS, I know that Yorkshire was the name of a county. However, often something is given a specific name from a place in honor of being discovered or created in that place...and that's what I was thinking might have happened here. The batter that makes up Yorkshire pudding might just be called Yorkshire. Link to comment
Uriel Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Steamed spider legs? A side of bear? Deep fried dragon fingers? And of course, stake and kidney pie for vampires ;-) LOL Link to comment
JPS Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 LOL...its cool JPS, I know that Yorkshire was the name of a county. Well... you know, once you start explaining a joke it's more or less lost anyway, so you might as well do it properly... JPS Link to comment
Loké Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 The batter that makes up Yorkshire pudding might just be called Yorkshire. No. I told you, it's pan-cake batter. Link to comment
Bri Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 The batter that makes up Yorkshire pudding might just be called Yorkshire. No. I told you, it's pan-cake batter. *grins* Loké, I didn't deny what the batter was, I was only explaining to JPS why they might have called it that. Now, Worcester sauce...or however it is spelled...the guy who invented it...must have been sick... Link to comment
BigRob Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Now, at last, the great tase of Worstershire Sauce in a soft-drink! "Aaah, steaky!" I'll be buggered if I know the correct spelling either. And I have some in the pantry. Link to comment
Userunfriendly Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Now, at last, the great tase of Worstershire Sauce in a soft-drink! "Aaah, steaky!" I'll be buggered if I know the correct spelling either. And I have some in the pantry. WTF???!!! they actually make a soft drink that tastes like worshester sauce???!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you know how you make worshester sauce? start with well rotted anchovies...and it goes downhill from there... Link to comment
BigRob Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 WTF???!!! they actually make a soft drink that tastes like worshester sauce???!!! Actually, that is an obscure line from the Simpsons. It's an advert in the background while Homer's talking to someone. It made me laugh.  do you know how you make worshester sauce? start with well rotted anchovies...and it goes downhill from there... Meh. Alcohols are made by rotting down vegetable matter. They are simply bacterial or fungal waste products. Maybe that's why it's called piss.  And Vegemite (an Australian delicacy) is made from the stuff they skim out of beer production, because they don't want it in the beer. People eat some things that would make Del's Cookbook seem like standard fare! Link to comment
Loké Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Now, Worcester sauce...or however it is spelled...the guy who invented it...must have been sick... *BZZZ* Wrong. Try a few drops on cheese on toast. Lee and Perrins is the best brand name. [in england] ps. Like the SHODAN smiley? EDIT: Indeedy BigRob. You *don't* want to know what black pudding is made out of. And the french have a mint flavoured cordial. It's very nice, thought it 'feels' weird drinking mint flavoured stuff. The version that has lemonade instead of water ['Diablo mente' if memory serves] is very nice. Link to comment
BigRob Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 You *don't* want to know what black pudding is made out of. Unfortunately, I already do. Link to comment
