British dopers, tell me about your meals

As Chowder says, this is not standard English fare. :confused:

Sausages go with baked beans, or in a buttered butty, or with eggs or superbly with Heinz Tomato Ketchup (the nectar of the Gods :slight_smile: ).

Wiat a minute- I’ve just noticed your username. :eek:

(Clears throat nervously :o ) Etes-vous Francais? Parlez-vous Anglais? Ou est la plume de ma tante? DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?

I’m not British, but that sounds revolting. I bet you fry it too, ya Southerners. :wink: That said, there’s nothing wrong with letting your sausage side wallow in the syrup that drips off the pancakes.

So what meal do y’all eat your Jaffa cakes at?

More importantly, what do we have to do to get some?

Aaah Jaffa cakes, the food of the gods.

To be eaten as, where and when the mood takes you.

Don’t you have them in the US?

Now that is positively disgusting

No - you’re quite right - it isn’t.

Sausage and marmalade sandwiches just happen to be my personal favourite, but as you imply, they’re considered weird, dangerous, immoral or subversive by many of my peers.

I’ve changed over the past few years, I’m not sure when, but one day HP sauce became the only sauce that would suffice for a fry of any sort.

All this talk has got me thinking of the 99p fry offered down the street in the mornings. With one slice of bacon, one sausage, a fried egg and a bit of potato bread, it can get a bit dry. Buying an expensive cup of tea sort of defeats the purpose of buying the cheap fry.

A few doors down there was a great place that offered everything for a few more pence, but it closed down and has been replaced by a nice modern Mexican restaurant. I suppose that’s thankful, soon after we stopped eating at the old place, we heard rats were at large in the kitchen :smack:

No, we don’t have Jaffa cakes in the US. (They would probably be called Jaffa biscuits or Jaffa cookies anyway.) Back to my question: what can we do to get our hands on some? :smiley:

HP sauce is a must for sausage sandwiches. Ketchup is reserved for masking the taste of foods I don’t actually like, such as hot dogs.

Would you believe Amazon.com?

Those appear to be Serbian imposters.

Email me with your mailing address and I’ll send you some.

::thinks, the things I do for the sake of good Anglo-American relationships::

The way Homeland Security are acting , you may well have to fill out a 30 page questionnaire before they will let the things into the country. They might be terrorist Jaffa Cakes.

If we’re looking to import British foodstuffs to the US, have any dopers outside the UK tried Wispas? Since the recent run of the bars has ended, I’ve noticed some on Ebay for sale, chocolate bar for £2 anyone?

Wispa production has ended?

Is nothing sacred any longer, what next, Mars Bars,Bovril,Vimto,Marmite.

The worlds gone mad, mad I tell you

Wispa stopped, then started, then stopped again. The current revival was a limited run, after which we’re told if they’re going to start production up again full time, which sounds a bit new-coke-ish to me.

Anyone remember Nutty bars? “You can’t see the fudge for the nuts!”

How about Texan - Orange flavoured dental danger wrapped in chocolate that mostly flakes off and falls to the ground. That one made a comeback too, but it wasn’t the same.

Also, Golden Nuggets aren’t the same as they were the first time around.

Try these (expensive though).

[hijack]NO, NO, NO, NO…Ketchup is NOT for hot dogs unless you are under the age of 10! Go to Chicago the hot dog capital of the universe. You can get peppers, cukes, onions, mustard, pickels etc. but NO Ketchup. I’m sorry, but Ketchup on hot dogs is just wrong. Shouldn’t even be in the same sentence.[byjack]
