Tennents Lager - Starting to enjoy Kokanee now though :thumbup:
British Style Chinese
Donner Kebabs - Those Donair things are pretty awfull
Scotch Pies - Made my own a couple of times but the hot water pastry is a bugger to get right.
Pork Pies - considered making my own but they look a bit tangly to make

I think you could be right , more and more of their words seem to be creeping into my vocabulary :D

Or, at least, that it don't mean "converting nouns to verbs".
You mean a reverse gerund? Otherwise known as a nounal-verb?

I realise this is more to do with Brit food that's missed but conversely, I miss Perogies.

Particularly, the cheesy mash ones with some chopped fried bacon, fried onions, chopped tomatoes and sour cream. *drool*

NLDC should have used the phrase "Pork Pies - considered making my own but they look some tangly to make, luh" and then he would be fully assimilated.

You'd think with all the Polish people that have moved to the UK in last decade they'd be perogies all over the place. Try Polonia in Tipton.

It's just a lovely spring day here, it makes me feel lyrical.

<also I've skived off work to watch Chelsea-Napoli>.
Wow what a game that was. I saw the replay later on and was glued to it till 12.30am. One of the best champ league games i seen for a long while.

There are certainly Polish sections in the produce aisles and what not but the Perogi selection consists of one in my local supermarket and it wasn't the cheesy ones.

I'll have to try Polonia. Don't think I've heard of that restaurant before.

Common almost everywhere in Eurasia but mainly associated with Poles.

Those are called Varenyki I believe but they're effectively the same stuff and they have all that stodgy type food all across the various Eastern European countries.


Edit: Rather redundant. Sorry.
