Things I don't get

  • Not really BBQ - but molasses and brown sugar (I use muscovado), mustard, cloves and salt pork or bacon with beans and onions, cooked in the slow cooker all day - perfect to come in to after a late autumn day in the garden.  I sometimes tip a can of chopped tomatoes in as well, and a slosh of Worcestershire sauce.  A jacket potato or two cooked in the bonfire and you have bliss on a plate.

  • Dove, having our own Bacon and a large coal fired stove my Mother would put the bacon beans and what ever was in the Vegetable rack into a crock pot and that would go into the slow side oven all day, when we all got back from school and work it would be served up with potato's a lovely gooey plate full of goodness. Now where did I put the slow cooker?

  • Tarl, when said here, is the opposite of posh. It means someone is putting on what they think is a fancy accent.

    You'd be amazed what people say in order to sound "less Norn Iron". My chum's ex MIL said highdrawnge instead of hydrangea!!! It was like nails on a blackboard!!! I worked with someone who said joog instead of jug because jug sounded common! She was common! image

    That reminds me. I don't get sticking your pinkie out when you're eating ( no sniggering at the back. we're talking fingers here)

    Have you seen that swapping thing well-brought-up Americans do with their knife and fork?

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Yes.  Really odd but I heard it's hangover from pioneer days when they didn't have enough knives so had to share.   Similar to their using cups for measuring ingredients as they had no scales.

    Thank you obelixx. I often wondered about the 'cup' thing.

    I'm fascinated by language and dialects so I'm in the right place.

    I'm reading all the talk of beans and molasses with a sick bucket nearby. My mum on the other hand is yumming and thinking it all sounds delicious. image

    My husband put anything and everything between two bits of bread. I once came upon him having beans on toast. "What's wrong with that"? you all cry. The toast was toasted barmbrack!!!

    This is a barmbrack.

    Sick bucket anyone?

    That looks lovely PP but maybe not with beans.  Would make a lovely bread and butter pudding.
