Chef Pimbot will work his way up to British culinary art forms such as beans on toast next week.

You'd eat Patrick's pants? The mind boggles!

it took me 3 bloody years to find the bloody things (found it in a world food market place, then the week after I stumbled across them at Tom thumb)....it was like a bloody mission before that though.

If it's the correct pronounciation you're after, it's "rootabayga"...

Aha. I think I have a great business idea. British/American food dictionary.
Imgaine a ringbound pocket size book with names of British foods and the American name beside it BUT with a picture of the food.
However, most of you hav probably noticed how American fresh produce is supersized (full of water if you ask me). Think about the size difference of aubergine/eggplants. Ditto green peppers/bell peppers.

Um, well, far be it from me to tread on toes, it's just that when there are roast potatoes, carrots, stuffing, etc., wading through something that would work well as wallpaper paste seems like a bit of a waste of time. There, now you'll hate me forever.
I sympathise with the trying to find stuff though. Our local Jewel supermarket has a section in the veg. section that it just calls "Mexican roots", which contains assorted root and other vegetables that are eaten south of the border, and for which nobody could be bothered to look up the proper names.

Hey, I know how to switch the oven on, but lets not get carried away.

I can remember that squishy, goopy, slimey, runny, sloppy stuff though! It never stayed under your mashed spuds without oozing back out.

Well done ! I managed something like a good ole English roast a while ago, sadly lamb is extortionate here so it was roast beef (never my forte) but it was passable, ohh and mother in law loved the real beef gravy ..... heh YaY for Bisto !!!
Hmmm the rudabega thing (or however its spelt) i still cant see why its coated in bloody wax here, last one i bought was no bigger than a softball and cost me over a dollar ... gawd at home the farmers used to feed them to the sheep as a cheap food source during the winter months !! (that was when they had sheep of course)
