Popped in for a pint this lunchtime, sat quietly at the bar, group of "young mums" and toddlers sat at a table with thier pints of Lager. One "mum" pipes up "OOh! it`s pancake Tuesday tommer!" and another pipes up, "an "Hash Wednesday the day after". third "mum" chips in " I`ve no corned beef, remind me to get some on the way home Shirl".
I didn`t bother enlightening them, I`ve given it up for Lent!

Is it?
Yee hoo

|
I will get the crepe pan out.....
I always use the good one .........

My mother tossed one a bit too hard and stuck it to the ceiling once. Took about half a minute to peel itself off and come down.
|

Proper northern grub.
See those southern softies further up the thread waffling on about crepes, or should that be crepeing on about waffles?
|
Tripe.
Thats what you lot eat.
|
Don't forget the ooonions, Zeddo...
|
Crepe Tuesday doesn't have the same ring to it.
Does Aunt Bessie make made to measure pancakes to pop in the microwave?
Pat

She makes a mix, DO NOT USE IT,
Its the only thing she is crepe at.
|
I'll just pretend I've forgotten then:)
Pat
|
Damn, its not till next month. the 8th
|
No. There is no argument.
Northerners know how to eat properly.
Suvverners don't.

according to my calendar it's another fortnight until shrove Tuesday which falls on March 8 asa consequence of the late Easter. Not something I'm that bothered about observing but happened to coincide with needing a 'late pass' for a night out with a work mate.
Reminds me that for a couple of years in the nineties colleagues with any vague connection to Catholicism used to attend the Ash Wednesday service at the Catholic church in Kingsway.
|
Isn't 43 minutes a bit precise?
|
I thought hash was summat else..!

>> I thought hash was summat else..!
Several people have previously asked me where the hash key is on a phone keypad. They get confused by automated menus when asked to press the hash key to confirm/continue.
|
I was thinking something rather more vegetable than mineral !
|
Hash Wednesday comes just before Faggot Thursday (but not in the US).
|
>> Faggot Thursday (but not in the US).
I wonder if that's banned in Canada as well?

Brains, or the sweepings up from a butchers floor wrapped in the membrane of a pigs abdomen?

Did a corned beef hash for the first time in years (decades?) on Saturday, but using a posh recipe - it included red wine!
uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/515023
But as Mrs F pointed out it was nice but ended up pretty much as shepherds pie (not like the recipe picture - the potatoes are mashed and put on top of the corned beef bit).
|
the corned beef in the picture has been diced
the whole idea is to keep the corned beef as one big lump and put the tatties round it and covered like a marzipan cake
dont forget the egg..... ;-)

Even more confusing when dialling a US number as they refer to the hash key as the pound key

Ok - I meant dope, grass....etc etc... !

... No, still not with you PU. Perhaps you could expand a bit?
|
Hash=street slang for cannabis isn't it ?

Be kind to him AC, he's probably been hanging around for ages to get a glimpse of waity-Katy and Willy-won't-he.

No I had my rant about that earlier.
