Steak and kidney pudding, and kippers, should be on the Top Tier.

Cauliflower cheese shouldn't even be on the list.

Crumpets should be in the Cr*p Tier.

They've got Yorkshire pudding above toad in the hole, even though toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with added sausage.

Bubble and squeak is inedible and should be on the cr*p list.

Faggots taking up the rear I see.






I'd swap them for calicheese.

Yes to Yorkshire pudding, Sunday roast, fish and chips, shepherds pie, cottage pie, cauliflower cheese and Welsh rarebit. No to absolutely everything else there.

I'd add Stilton, which I hold to be the undisputed King of Cheese.

Where's lunch tongue?!

Or is it not British? The handful of times I've been abroad I've never seen it - certainly not in America.

What is lunch tongue? How does it differ from breakfast or dinner tongue?

Ploughman's lunch can do one.

You forgot tea tongue.

Do you not get it in the south? I've always wondered if it's more of a Midlands and/or North thing, or a leftover from the days of tripe. I don't know why it's called lunch tongue to be honest.

It's luncheon tongue isn't it?

Possibly.

No, I think I was getting it confused with Luncheon meat.

I think luncheon meat is basically Spam.

An actual tongue? Not something just called that for want of a better name or through habit? What animal is the tongue from?

I'm sure you can probably buy such things in the South East to feed your dogs or whatever.

Cow.

Tongue is loverly, it's like the knobbly bits off a leg of lamb.


Beef Wellington's are terrible, it's a steak* in a pie. Like a really bad too big lump of beef in a normal beef pie.


* most overrated thing Eva.

Harvey Nichols have lovely little canapé style Beef Wellingtons. The little pastry lids (about the size of a 2p coin) come off so you can add extra gravy.

I think their food market is much underrated for quality and value. Less than a fiver for bread freshly flown in from Paris, lovely selection of honeys and curds.

Hate: Yorkshire pud, Sunday roast, toad/hole, chick tik mass, beef well, and everything on the last row except kippers and laver bread.

I think 'lunch tongue' is the tongue equivalent of 'formed ham', ie it's proper tongue, but tongue from more than one animal pressed together and sliced to make nice uniform slices.
