Yummy ******s.

[Dinner]

I never knew this until Funko told me but it seems that in England a ****** is a pork meatball. The world has just taken a turn into the surreal.

Mr. Brains no less...

[Dinner]

It seems the ******s even put a rich sauce in your mouth. Oh god... This is to much.

[Dinner]

I even googled Mr. Brain's ******s and it seems this is for real. I thought maybe it was a case of photoshopping. How can two countries share the same language yet have so utterly and completely different meanings for the smae word? This is a poster child for trans Atlantic language differences.

You can make them at home:

Ingredients
500g minced pork
1 bunch of flat leafed parsley, leaves picked and finely chopped
12 sage leaves, finely chopped
1 large leek, split lengthways and cut into fine strips
salt, and freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil, for shallow-frying
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic clove, chopped
100ml red wine
1 tsp gravy granules
200ml hot water
mashed potato, to serve

Method
1. In a large bowl, mix together the pork, parsley, sage and leek. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into large, even-sized meatballs.

3. Heat a little vegetable oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add the ******s and let them cook without stirring until they develop a crust. Turn once browned on one side. Remove the ******s from the pan and reserve them.

4. Add the onion to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes. Chuck in the garlic and fry, stirring, for a further 2 minutes.

5. Pour in the red wine, bring to the boil and cook briskly until reduced by half. Sprinkle the gravy granules into the pan and cover in hot water, mixing well. Bring to the boil, then return the ******s to the pan.

6. Cover the pan and cook the ******s for 10 minutes until cooked through. Serve the ******s with smooth mashed potato.

Then phone up a friend "Come on over for supper. We're having ******s tonight."

(Laughs at colonials daft use of language.)

Surely everyone knows ******s are a wonderful foodstuff.

Also here in Britian we give Rubbers* out to all schoolchildren (male and female)


* you call them erasers

[Dinner]

I think I might use that recipe. It would be worth it just to see the look on my girlfriend's face when I tell her we're having ******s for dinner.

[DeathByTheSword]

at the entire thread

[DaShi]

Why do they feel the need to point out that the sauce comes from a rich west country?

[BeBMan]

Because they're racist bastards who don't like stuff from poor south countries!

[Buck Birdseed]

For sunday dinner, the british traditionally have a joint.

When you get angry in the U.S. you're pissed.

In the U.K. you might get angry when you're pissed, because you'd already be inebriated.

This doesn't suprise me, we've turned "gay" from meaning your happy to meaning your homosexual, for example.
