I always find it quite funny that he thought prawn sandwiches were posh, £2 in Tesco's, he must have had a shite agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a language difference as well here Mark, what we call prawns you call shrimp; shrimps here are tiny little things that aren't widely available. Then we have king prawns and tiger prawns and some the size of a small lobster that are just called something expensive sounding and come from Madagascar or somewhere like that; now they are posh and expensive and we just invest once a year at Christmas. New stadium though....um...all things considered it's a half decent idea, it can have some comfy seats and an increased cacapity or something (can we ban Keane from it though?). What a save!

FFS what next a roast and some beef wellington. its a sporting event, food has to all be able to be eaten with your hands in my opinion, cause the other hand has a beer. Mushy peas.

Yeah any variation is expensive unless you live close to shrimpers (shrimp fishermen). When we lived in New Orleans our neighbor was a shrimper and we got them fresh off his boat and cheap. They are expensive up north because we are far from all the coasts. We have lake fish up here (fresh water) such as trout, walleye, Bass, etc but they’re not super flavorful. Most just get fried up for fish and chips or fish sandwich kinda meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Maybe the most extreme difference from one side of the Atlantic to the other is venison. In Britain, it’s an expensive connoisseur meat because all deer are owned by the crown. In the US, it’s road kill and free. plaidharper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog is very popular, particularly since the economic downturn, its cheap and readily available, I'm not too keen though, it sticks in my throat a bit too much.

They had Jasper Carrot there as the entertainer. There was a billiards table in the hotel where we stayed but it had no pockets. Apparently, its a form of billiards called 'Carom'. You play for canons. Anyway, I played carom in a fourball which included Jasper Carrot. He did the after-dinner speech and, as usual, was very funny. He is a far better comedian than he is a carom player! rubecula, StevO and Cornish Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
