Why no English food restaurants in the USA?

Ay, did notice that regarding his avatar yet tartan searches for Mcleod seem to
want to direct you to Macleod. No doubt though John will explain the difference
in names.

It depends on where you where when people started formalizing spelling rules. McLeod, MacLeod, McCloud, and MacCloud are all the same clan. The latter two involved being someplace where English was more commonly spoken that Gaelic when the spelling of your last name was formalized. The chief of the clan spells his last name MacLeod. We really don't know which part of the McLeod terrority our family came from as the earliest we can track back is on the wrong side of Scotland, and not near any McLeod teritory at all. The most likely place seems to be Ardvrek castle even though that is highly speculative.

Well that beats 1770 Wexford Ireland.

Toad in the hole
Sausage, big fat sausages arranged in a sort of over grown Yorkshire pud
Bubble and Squeak, the same sausages in either mashed potatoes or batter (North/South dived), but with the added "delight" of boiled cabbage.




I'll allow the reader to decide why bubble and squeak is so called....

Toad in the hole, depending on who you speak to, can be made with all sorts of meat, although these days it is usually sausages.

My grandmother insisted it was left over cooked meat, my aunt, who now lives in New England, uses spam, but that was probably because she got spam as an extra from my Uncle before they were married. My mother used sausages but always cooked them first and then cut them into bite sized chunks before covering in batter.

Until recently, when it became a pre-cooked frozen dish, I don't know anyone north of Watford who even knew of Bubble and Squeak. In fact I think it was originaly only a London dish, probably from the East End.

Even more so if the cabbage is supplemented/replaced with sprouts...

Newcastle Brown, now there's an ale from the past.
Spied it in Sainsbury's the other day and decided to try a bottle. Not sure if they've changed the brew, but its still not the most palatable ale around, nor the most gassy....

I've only once had the sprout/cabbage version of bubble and squeak. That is one culinary experience that I would prefer not to repeat, ranking alongside sheep's eyes and witchetty grubs, but not quite as rank as tripe (in any form)

OY you guys, all that belong in the Cooking/Beer thread.
OK more off topic. I liked my Grandma's tripe. Off course in a sweet and sour sauce to cover it good.
What can I say.

Hmm, now given Uli is a German national who by choice lives in the USA which one should she choose?

If you haven't had one of these you haven't lived :)

Originating from where I was born/bred and continue to live, I shall be having one on new years. Nom nom nom :)
