Sideflanks
 
They are so much cheaper than the UK!

I just bought one for $25.00 - under half of the price that the UK offers.

Quite chuffed.

I quickly googled it and got this thread at the top. Not sure what to make of that.

I also have heard however that Flink Flonks are at least tuppence ha'penny less in the UK than Canada. That was from a guy who lives in Australia so can't vouch for it.

One assumes the term is a synonym for love handles, although for the life of me I can't quite understand why they're that much cheaper over here. :confused:

In that defintion, they've mis-spelled 'midriff' too.

I have no idea what sideflanks are either, I only know that now I really want some!

The key is to decide to retire without your boss actually noticing. You just need to train your boss right... ;)

I thought flank meant side. So sideflank is tautological which I believe is a type of stuffed pasta .
