I was thinking about fast food like Taco Bell and McDonald's. A lot
of mall food is quite good. My favorite Korean food is at a mall near
me and a stall in another mall serves excellent chicken teriyaki.

Indeed.

The new Pita chains are very healthy and tasty.

We used to go to a Madrigal Singers production at Christmas, and several
of these foods were served. I loved it! Also, I grew up in northeast
Ohio. During my childhood, we referred to the noon meal as dinner, but
at some time that became lunch and the evening meal became dinner. The
town where I now live (in East Texas) has an annual fundraiser which is
a lovely English tea.

1. I tried a sausage roll, it wasn't the cheap one either. Didn't
like it. Split it with hubby and he felt the same way, so we tossed
it in the nearest garbage can. I've come to the conclusion that I
simply do not like commercial British sausages because I hate the
flavor and texture that filler (bread/oatmeal) gives it.
2. Robert Irvine used Scottish Eggs for a caveman themed restaurant
(the cave part was not his idea) in Restaurant Impossible and called
them dinosaur eggs. It was a hit with the kids. I thought they
looked good enough to try sometime, but I don't deep fry - so it will
have to be a restaurant item for me.

You know I love Yorkshire Pudding and serve it every Christmas.
Bubble & Squeak was my DD's favorite dish as a child. I also love
your version of Toad in the Hole (which I make with Italian sausage)
that has apples and onions in it. I even liked *real* mushy peas.
They tasted just like split green peas to me (but not soupy). All
they needed was a little salt & pepper and they were fine.

I do NOT like black pudding or blood sausages and not for the reason
you think - I don't like the seasoning. To begin: there's way too
much of it.

IOW (particularly true for rfc): we've heard of them even if we
haven't had the opportunity to try them ourselves and form a personal
opinion. There are lots of things I'm neutral on, like Marmite. It's
not awful, but it's not anything I'd buy and take home either.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

I do hope the neeps you experienced were orange in colour (rutabaga,
swede), well bashed with some cream and black pepper. As served with
haggis in Scotland.

And that you were not mistakenly fed the odorous white turnip.

Nice picture of a crumpet.

My friend's mother's parents came from the Isle of Man, so she learned
to make Yorkshire pudding as a girl.
I have had neither Bovril nor Marmite. And the Irish Goodall's steak
sauce is far more flavorful than HP Sauce.

Encasing sausage in dough is not limited to the UK.
Had one Scotch egg, once. Not desperate for another.
Haven't spotted any dick yet -- is it good?
(but what about sherry trifle -- that is what I could get behind.)
Chipped potatoes should be crisp, not soggy. So no gravy.
I have had mushy peas and a full English breakfast -- with black
pudding -- many times. Love grilled to-MAH-to, as well as mushrooms.

Haven't had bubble and squeak, or haggis (lungs not considered fit
for human consumption in the US). Salad cream is really an adaptation
of US salad dressings. But Branston Pickle is indeed good on a cheese
sandwich.

Bovril and Marmite? Uck!

Same.

Oh yes, with lots of custard

Try bubble and squeak. It isn't that different to home fries with mashed
potato.

If we have kielbasa with boiled cabbage and potatoes, we will often end
up with leftover cabbage and potatoes. So I will give it a try, next time.
