Yeah, right, Guin. I’ll bet that they also told you that after Poland, they emigrated to Delaware.
I’m sorry to break this to you, but I’m afraid that your family has been putting you on by claiming history from imaginary places. Perhaps it is because they were trying to hide from you their shameful history as British chefs.
P.S. Tom~, no fair trying to ruin a perfectly good hijack.

Yes, unfortunately it’s true. RUB IT IN, WHY DON’T CHA???
GIVE ME SOME DIGNITY!!!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!!
Everyone knows Peanut butter is great on lefse!
There, there, Guin. Just remember your family’s the best, above the rest, the top of their profession. The masters of their chosen field, of that there is no question.
We declared war on Hitler because he put the Japanese up to bombing Poland’s cruise ships as they were taking on poi in Key West or somewhere. We didn’t declare war on Germany, only on Hitler because he was a jerk who consumed sausage and biscuits without gravy and didn’t even buy them from Jimmy Dean.
He was just asking for it.
“Shut up.” He suggested.
Is frozen toad in the hole available in the States?
> Is frozen toad in the hole available in the States?
Hmm. The other day I had the Morning Carpool Duty. When
I picked up my neighbor’s child, I noted she was still
eating breakfast, and odd sort of breakfast at that. It
is only after reading this thread that I have come to the
conclusion that this ‘breakfast’ was none other than…
** Frozen Toad-In-The-Hole On A Stick!**
so, apparently, some variant thereof is available here in the colonies…

(who really only replied because you only get so many chances to say “Frozen Toad-In-The-Hole On A Stick!” in one lifetime, and who the heck would want to miss out on an opportunity like that?)
Band Name!
You guys owe my place of work a new keyboard and monitor, BTW…
I’ve never quite braved Toad in the Hole, 'cause I don’t care for sausage, although my roommate swears by the ones at RenFaire. Any suggestions for replacement meat?
My people call them “corndogs.”
Your people are wrong, but that’s probably not your fault.
The local WalMart has, in its frozen meats section (next to the corndogs) an item I can only describe as “frozen toad-in-a-hole on a stick” (henceforth referred to by the following ackronym: FTIAHOAS). The picture on the box shows a small child ecstatically consuming this (apparently) close relative to the notorious, evil, greasy corndog, but has a sausage link instead of a hot dog, and pancake batter instead of corn bread batter. Although I was initially repulsed by the very concept of a breakfast corn dog, I suppose my innate curiosity will not be satisfied until I finally see for myself if this strange reputed “breakfast food” is, in fact, edible (I fear I shall gag, but what the heck, it’s in the name of science). I suspect this FTIAHOAS it is simply a ploy by the corn dog cartel to increase sales by further desenstitizing the masses to the patent insanity of a “meal” that’s been skewered on a stick as if it were a pork lollipop.

They used to serve those for lunch at school. We called 'em “Pancake and Sausage on a Stick”… they were served with little tubs of maple syrup.
First i’ll apologize, i haven’t read the rest of this thread. I just noticed the OP on Threadspotting, read it, was surprised by the persons obvious fucking ignorance and decided to post here to bitch about it. So here we go.
You bloody chowder head, haven’t you ever even seen a history text?? First off, i don’t know where the hell this bullshit about Hitler “protecting” Germany from Poland came from. (Yes, the whole of Europe and the Free World beyond it has always cowered in fear in the black shadow of the Polish Jackboot…)
Second, though the Brits did declare war on Germany officaly over the Polish invasion, they did not commit them selves in any serious strength until France began to fall.
Thirdly, it wasn’t as if Hitler went to bed one night a peaceful, happy little dictator and woke up the next with a sudden craving to invade Poland. He had already annexed large portions of the land taken away from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. The Brits and French had threatened War a number of times and had backed down because Chamberlain wasn’t the kind of PM who wanted to deal with this sort of thing, bless his umbrella loving heart. The British had signed a treaty at the end of WW1 making it clear that if Germany was to take steps towards a war footing again then Britain, France and some other European nations would declare war. (Not exactly sure of the others, it’s been a while)
May i pause here to point out your utter muttonheadedness.
Now, as for Stalin: The mess following WW2 was politically and strategically a bad time to be starting a war with Russia. A lot of people in the West were sick of shooting and with the absolutely massive and fanatical Red Army grouped in Eastern Germany (in excellent position to go rolling on into Europe) it was important to keep the Bear plenty happy. Also, most of the other world powers on the winning side were busy grabbing hold of the leftovers. How were they supposed to say “Alright, America can have all these Islands over here, and control of Japan - even though Japan was at war with China from 1937 on and the British from '39 - But you Ruskies… well you just can’t look after anything, sorry, better luck next major conflict!”
It’s a war you jackass, you think it’s all gonna be neat and tidy?? And as far as you’re really well thought out “Don’t declare war on the Fascists” idea, can you say Seig Heil?
Anyway, just felt like getting that out of my system, i’m officially opposed to war but damn it man, there’s just something about a political party bent on the destruction of whole races and the genetically inferior (such as my self) that just gets my ire up a bit… I’m sure most of what I’ve said has come up already but I just felt like writing.
Can i call you a fucking numbskull before i go?
You’re a fucking Numbskull.

Party pooper.
Upham, have you ever really studied history? First, you hijack a perfectly good thread with facts. Then, you post this:
As a point of fact, the Americans and British could easilly have pushed Stalin’s troops back to Russia. Churchill wanted to do just that. Hell, w/o American Leand Lease supplies, Russia would have been out of the way by 42-43. I truth, no one had the stomach to go to war against a major allied power, after what the world had just been through. Good call. We thank you for 45 years of cold war. :rolleyes:
Now back to the FUN part of this thread, damnit. I’ll let someone else tell how the USSR’s secret black bread and borsch recipes were already in American hands, cracked by the codebreakers in late 44.
Yes the Lend Lease saved the Russians ass, and the British, but the fact is, brother, by Wars End you’d want to go up against the Russians about as much as i’d want to go up agains Ali (and i mean TODAY’S Ali, he’s still a big fuckin man, and i’m just a little bit of a wuss)

Well, actually, what had happened with Poland post-WW2 was that the USSR, feeling that they needed a sufficient buffer zone to prevent someone from making a headlong dash at Moscow again, insisted on the 1919-1920s “Curzon Line” that was one proposed eastern Polish frontier after the country gained its independence after WW1. Churchill and Roosevelt (mainly the former, though) fought the use of the Curzon Line, feeling that it was a Russian device to legally keep the portions of Poland they had conquered in 1939 (while they were still a semi-Axis member). This fit in with a more general debate about self-determination, governmental setups and Allied spheres of influence throughout Eastern Europe between the West and the USSR which sowed the seeds of the cold war. Churchill finally agreed to a compromise around the time of the Potsdam conference: Russia could have the Curzon Line, but an equal area of Germany was to be ceded to the “new” Polish state. In effect, the Allies shifted Poland 100 miles or so to the west, creating the roughly square-shaped country we all know and feel indifferent about today.
This does not change the fact that Hitler was a one-balled fuckhead, no matter what Mr. can’t-use-a-keyboard-if-his-life-depended-on-it says.
As for Toad in the Hole, is it made with those sausages they call “bangers?” those are mmm-mmm good.
I think (if we’re talking about the same sausages) that i had always heard of them refered to as “Snorkers”
The word always kinda bugged me…
If you can get hold of such a thing, then Linda MacCartney’s brand of veggie toad in the hole provides an adequate impression of stodge and herbs. Slightly overcook it and it’s chewy too: food with fun.
Well, my former boss used to get these… they were once F, but not when he bought them from the doughnut shop… they had been fried, so I suppose that would be formerly frozen fried TIAHOAS, or fffTIAHOAS.
Anyway, where he bought them, they were called kolaches. Pronounced Koh-LAH-cheez. Never tried one. Looked nasty.
And as you all should know, the real reason Hitler was so pissy is that I’ve heard no one in Germany puts ice in their drinks. So, he thought Poland might have Pola-r bears, and thus, ice, so he wanted to get some.
That’s all.
