"EXCEPT FOR"

Focus on the right complaint please.

[Provost Harrison]

You've interpreted that differently to me and Drogue - could go either way mind you

And bear in mind that a significant proportion of American cuisine derives from the British cuisine - your big roast dinners are exactly like ours with a few minor deviations.

I've never seen Yorkshire puddings in America, so assumed that it was part of the exception side of things.

[Provost Harrison]

I would be most aggrieved if they f**ked with the Yorkshire pudding

[Dauphin]

Like turn it into a dessert pudding?

[Provost Harrison]

There's nothing wrong with that!

[Provost Harrison]

Actually, I've only ever done that once - it does work really well with some jam and a bit of cream

[Drake Tungsten]

May I ask you where Yorkshire is? (hint, I come from there )

From what I've seen, the rest of Yorkshire doesn't claim Hull...

[Provost Harrison]

You're well read. It does tend to be in a bit of a limbo between the East and the North...

SPAIN: jamón de bellota, jamón jabugo, jamón ibérico, chorizo, caña de lomo, morcilla de burgos, morcilla achorizada, fuet...
France is best with cheese. Austria has the best bread. Italy is Italy - I can't live without pasta; plus, they have the best truffles.

So a combination of those would do IMHO.

Wrong! They all are the same. Scientific explanation:

-Jamón ibérico: is in general the ham made of pigs of the iberic race. There are ham made with normal white pigs. It is called Jamón serrano and it is of much minor quality.

-Jamón de bellota: is ham made of iberic pigs fed with acorns only. There are also jamón de cebo (fed with normal feed) and recebo (feed with acorns only in the last months of the life of the pig). The jamón de bellota, is the best of course.

-Jamón de Jabugo: refers to the place where the ham was made, Jabugo specifically, a town in the province of Huelva , there are iberic hams from many other places in Spain too but are less famous.

So you are referring to Jamón Ibérico de bellota made in Jabugo (the best and most expensive btw).

Forget all that, the proof is in the nickname Rosbif.

Which comes from two words of French origin, alas.

Rostir and boef. Pah. The soapshy Froglets are stingy and A-Fed even in their insults.

I still love a Dijon slice though, and a Mont Blanc. And cherry clafoutis.

Merde.
