Im half Irish, I know my potatoes.

Is mince & potatoes (mince 'n totties up here) a big thing in England ?
What about stovies?

Is cottage pie not an actual pie-type dish, where the totties sit on top of the mince?
Whereas mince 'n totties is just a plate with mince 'n totties on it.
Stovies is mince 'n totties cooked together, kind of like mince soupe with totties in.
Top stuff on a cauld day!

My father-in0law has this strange habit of serving mince with a raw egg cracked over it. Ive never seen anything so boggin' lookin' in my life! Apparently is a Highland thing...

Darren - what a find, thank you so much!  I'd have carried on feeding them to Simon obliviously poisoning him with the wheat protein from the DNA of the delightful little source creatures. 

He owes you his life.

Egg and mince, sounds like a Pastie Pie to me, surely the egg is cooked though!

Peanut M&Ms, where?

Just give me some fadge (of the potato kind, not that as defined by urbandictionary.com I hasten to add).

Yes, I just checked on google and was more than a little surprised, shall we say. 

Hence the swift edit - but not swift enough for some it would seem! 

  I'm a happily married woman I'll have you know! 

Heh heh heh heh.  Fadge is only worth having if it's been cooked in bacon fat!

 

Sorry to change the subject, but there's a bowl of Jam Roly Poly over here if anyone's up for the journey.

Hmm.  What you have to remember about characters like this, is that they don't eat the egg raw because they like it.  They eat it raw because they're hard.  And that's the way it's always been done, since before they invented fire and polyunsaturated cooking oil!

Once more... You Guys!

Tasted mighty fine, but I'm definitely suffering from some hellacious heartburn!

Can't says I have.

Feeling better. I guess Gyros stuffed with lamb meat are good for wicked heart burn!
