Yorkshire Puddings - Love them or Hate them?
Sort:
I understand our use of flashing the middle finger as a nonverbal insult comes from you guys. Legend has it that during one of your wars with the French when you had 1st displayed the British longbow (made from the yew tree?) it caused a lot of French casualties. Because of the French hatred of those snipers, whenever they captured one they cut off his middle finger which made the marksman unable to use his bow effectively. When you finally forced the French to leave, the longbowman held up their middle finger to taunt the French to say "FU, I still have my middle finger, I still have my middle finger"!
Yup I does be loving mi Yorkshire Pudds

If it is like a pancake then ill try some. Someone gave me "Yorkshire Pudding" before but i didn't like the bones and hair. Probably not the same pudding. Live and learn.
Does anyone like Faggots?,
You may have missunderstood Lisa,Faggots are meatballs [ i was teasing though]
Mind you gentlemen of the gay persuasion might prefer being called a meatballs [quite a manly name i think]
I thought they were cigarettes! You say they are meatballs? You are teasing us right? Or are you being clever and actually mean that meatballs is contemporary UK slang for gay men? Hmmm.... Interesting, I suppose it does have the double entendre thing going, but it could sure be confusing in an Italian restaurant!
I have never being accused of being clever, they are a kind of meatball
so they are not cigarettes in the UK then? did they used to be?......
Oh one other thing you may find amusing...... Took a friend from the UK to an American college football game (not soccer) and some of us got quite drunk..... He was laughing and seemed to be having a good time...... But he kept saying he was pi$$ed..... we thought if he was mad at someone, his happy behavior was a strange paradox! After several inquiries we just let it go, laughed and decided he is one crazy Brit, he is not sure if he is happy or mad! Later, when we asked him about it, he said it merely meant he was drunk..... ah-h-h those language barriers......
It does mean drunk and also fed up with everything, i was teasing earlier with a play on names but they are meatballs from the midlands in england.

i love yorkshire puddings so much but my cousin is the biggest fan noone is a bigger fan than my cousin on yorkshire puddings lol!!!!
Commenting on this topic probably means I have too much time on my hands but yeah of course I love them.
I introduced them to my French girlfriend when I lived in Nice (home of the granny biscuit). She was reluctant at first, claiming that they were like crepes but un peu crispy, but soon she couldn't get enough of it nor the Yorkshire Pudding (ha ha). Now, even though our relationship came to an end she still cooks them at dinner parties. The French markets used to annoy me in that there were great quality foods from all over the world, but could you buy Stilton or Red Leicester or any excellent English cheeses like Dairylea could you F, no you couldn't, which disappointed me greatly. When you're in a Restaurant over there try pretending to have a sneezing attack and each time say 'Waterloo' or 'Agincourt' at the point when you're making the the explosion, bit naughty but one must remind them that while we live in a crumbling shuddering human highway of a land, we were once a country of some worth.
well said gingepip, there is an internet site called 41-16 or something like that, it lists every battle and skirmish between France and Great Britian, as you can guess, we have the bigger score, you can find a few more 'obscure' battle wins to use as sneezes, 'Trafalga' would work well ?
I think it is something to do with the gold braid and so on worn by high ranking British officers. That was called macaroni for some reason. I always found it amusing that we Brits managed to win most of the battles but still managed to lose the war.
I always wondered that too..... we had better chess players as leaders I suppose, they knew the value of a fine gambit....lol
