Pie and chips

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Very mundane…but I just can’t help being amused every time i see the new Geko commercial…

pie and chips?

OK they (Americans) might figure out “chips”…but do they realize he’s talking about steak and KIDNEY pie?(he IS English after all) Which would gross out most Americains. If they knew.

Hee hee hee

EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!

Kidneys make PEE! And you would EAT them? GROSS!!! :throw-up smiley:

Just figured you might like to hear my reaction to that. :slight_smile:

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I also eat haggis :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: occasionlly.
And kindney are rathe taste. No really!!! They take the pee out first. Honest.

But of course you post just made mine more to the point…if they thought of what it was you’d just be appalled :stuck_out_tongue:

And i guess i could throw somthing in there about the fact that cocks make pee but people still eat them :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

When come back …
There was another thread about this very thing, well about the pie and chips rather than the kidneys. :slight_smile:

OKay, now I’m confused. WTH is a gecko–an Australian species–doing with an English accent and making reference to English foods??

Years ago he had an Australian accent. I swear he did. Now every time that digital mouth opens, he sounding more and more like an extra from Monty Python. Shenanigans!

Jack the Ripper did.

Thanks, by the way. I probably won’t get dinner till late tonight, and you’ve made it easier for me.

I’d probably still taste pee, even if they had taken it out, just from thinking about it.

I know I will regret asking this, and I know I’m just offering you another chance to gross me out:

Do kidneys taste anything like liver? That’s the only organ meat I’ve ever eaten, and I was so happy in the mid-80s when they figured out that liver was full of cholesterol and wasn’t health food after all. I’m on a 20-year streak of eating no liver, :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: and hope it goes for several more decades.

And this is any kind of recommendation? He ate British food before it became good (tour guidebooks about Britain for Americans all tell us that British food isn’t as bad as we think any more)- he probably ate all sorts of revolting things. :wink:

So pie in England is steak and kidney pie? What, you never heard of blueberries? And why would someone each french fries with pie?

(I had S&K pie once. My mother was English. Note I said once. I think my father forbade her from ever making it again. It stunk up the house something awful.)

No, it can be an apple pie or other sweet fruit pie as well. And the “steak and kideny” bit isn’t compulsory either - it could be chicken and mushroom, or whatever.

10

I should imagine so.

11

Bluebery pie ad frensh fries??? EWWWWW

Anyway i think “pie” and chips are better…and screw you for thinking differently…but mean that in a nice way
:slight_smile:

Oh look yet another thread about steak and kidney pies. Is there some rule on the SDMB that says this subject must be debated at least twice a month? :confused:

13

:eek: What? it’s full of protien. Don’t tell me it’s bad for you. Liver is great! Yay liver.

14

Yes.

15

And you’re damn lucky if it’s just twice.

16

No worries…you can have mine.

17

Perhaps we should branch out into eating squrrels - well the American invading squirrels, anyway. :slight_smile:

18

yeah, if you like eating a filter that is…

personally, i hate liver

19

Either the Tory fool is a plagiarist or an idiot, because Gordon Ramsey came up with the exact same idea a few months ago on his TV show.

20

Yes. Yes there is.

:smiley:
Hmmmm, I guess you could make a cheeseburger pie (if you like cheeseburger pie) or chicken pot pie. With fries.

Or just make hot pocket type mini pies. Steak and cheese are always good.
