Still waiting in eager anticipation, there are photos of wild flowers, countryside, birds & bees, seaside, rivers, buildings of every imaginable variety, crazy sculptures, funny pictures, sunrises/sets/moons, gardens etcetera, etcetera, etcetera ----------------- but still only 2 real photos of English food. Come on people don't you eat English food? |

How about starting off with photos of these and Stephanie can add them to her "Easter" Custom Tour (and of course my "Food" tour)! |

Dougal was a "dog" in the children's TV programme "The Magic Roundabout" in the late 60's early 70's (my son loved watching it). Have no idea though if it is still on TV. Except for the fact Dougal was not chocolate coloured the cakes look really good! It is one of the few photos in the "Food" tour. |

BTW no one has answered my question from a while back: what is a bacon butty? |
Sue H Posts: 8173 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 13:09 on 24th March 2010 A bacon butty is a roll (or bap) buttered (lots of butter) with fried bacon right out of the pan (so that it melts the said butter). I like it with a huge dollop of HP sauce. |

I remember chip buttys as well, where we took the fried chips and put them into a sandwich. Mind you we were kids at the time so probably anything goes! We did the same with potato crisps. Who remembers the packets of crisps (I think they were Smiths crisps) when you used to get the salt wrapped in a little blue paper. I'm sure they tasted better than the pre salted ones now!! |

I've taken one, a fine beast with some pickle just prior to being cut and eaten by yours truly, helped down by a traditional pint of Englisd Ale. The pie in question is a traditional hand raised pie taken in The Lion Tavern, Liverpool. I'll submit it to POE now. Hope it's approved.
