Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Naemanson Date: 03 Dec 00 - 10:35 PM The cookbook I have says to cook haggis with the windpipe hanging over the edge of the pot so the "black impurities" inside the lungs can drip outside the cooking pot. Ny cookbook also says there is a clear dichotomy between those who cook haggis and those who eat it. The authors stated they could find no cooks who would eat the resulting dish. I live in Maine and my cookbooks range the world, So too does my music and, since I found the Mudcat, my friends. No regionalization here! |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: flattop Date: 04 Dec 00 - 12:00 AM I must say Shambles, those aren't the best looking buns that I've laid my eyes on. They're cooked up in gobs of bacon fat? When I bake bread I like to make it without any fat, just bake it at a high temperature to get a nice crust. However, after reading Long Firm Freddie's link to Yorkshire Pudden, I could work up an appetite for Yorkshire Pudden or at least work up a bit of drool over the bit about, 'It's real Yorkshire Pudden that makes Yorkshire lassies so buxum and broad in the hips.' Now if little john cameron would just stick to wholesome Newfie dishes like cod tongues and seal flipper pie we'd all be a little less queasy. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Steve Parkes Date: 04 Dec 00 - 06:37 AM It ain't me babe! (I'm talking about regionalism now, not Yorksire puds.) I've never perceived the 'Cat as anything other than an international, or non-national, community. We like to have a dig at each other now and then, but what friends don't? I think there's a definite bias towards anglophones, but that's because most of us English speakers aren't very good at other languages. A lot of UK-ers can speak passable French, while a lot of US-ers can speak reasonable Spanish, but we've still only one common tongue. (Maybe I should rephrase that last bit -- what a revolting thought!) I've had a go at the French in the past, but the truth is there are very few (none?) French Mudcatters. Maybe there's a Chat á Boue oput there, but it wouldn't be much use to me!,br> Steve |

So tell me what your favorite food is. Aardvark: Ants! Horse: Oats! Wolf: Sheep intestines! [[[later]]] Dog: Well, what do you think?! Aardvark: Hmmm.... Horse: Hmmm.... Wolf: Hmmm.... Scotsman: Och! Bonnie haggis! And I love the wee black crunchy things! ---------------------------------- Alex |

We thoroughly enjoyed singing along with the throng!!! (until the internet connection went down) This is the sort of "Regionalism" I can handle!!! Sat in Yorkshire and singing along with songs in America and Australasia. Geoff the Duck. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: The Shambles Date: 04 Dec 00 - 05:59 PM Steve I take your point but I would suggest that our common tongue is more likely to be music? |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: annamill Date: 04 Dec 00 - 06:02 PM Of course we're regionalized... to Earth ;-) Well, come to think of it...maybe not! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Jeri Date: 04 Dec 00 - 06:39 PM Then again, maybe it's a good thing if LJC and his Extraordinary Exploding Sheep Lungs stay wherever it is they are. Can you imagine some of these folks showing up at your party with their culinary contribution?

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Ebbie Date: 04 Dec 00 - 11:58 PM Every year we in town here have a Robert Burns night (and as it's gotten to be fancy dress, 'tis said they probably wouldn't let the man in the door) and they always serve two haggis (haggi?), one with sheep's stomach and one not. Frankly, I like the stuff- but I must say I didn't linger over Little John's recipe. It's served with mead- I have no idea how authentic that is but we have a healthy Scots population here. Naemanson, I loved the line about the cooks not eating the resulting dish! Ebbie |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: GUEST Date: 05 Dec 00 - 04:10 AM Mead with haggis ? A dram of whisky is the best accompaniment for haggis - a lot of people actually pour a bit over the opened haggis to add to the flavour. Incidently, McSweeney's do a wonderful vegetarian haggis for anybody who is too squeemish for the real thing. Ian |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 28 Jul 01 - 02:36 AM I can't believe some of you dont know what Yorkshire Pudding is! At the back of my house is the biggest Yorkshire Pudding factory in the world (Aunt Bessies, a subsidary of William Jackson PLC, 40 Derringham St. Hull) Serve with Roast Beef, Roast potatoes and gravy. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Clinton Hammond Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:55 AM Vegetarian haggis??? That's a bad as non-alcoholic beer, or decaf coffee!!! And well, I serve my mead with any meal... |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: GUEST Date: 28 Jul 01 - 06:49 AM Flattop; one thing about Yorkshire puds - they never have a flattop. Yorkshire women pride themselves on their Yorkshire pudding - making skills. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: ard mhacha Date: 28 Jul 01 - 07:01 AM Of course music is universal and is enjoyed by all,but. Selby has a point. Catspaw asks him to be specific, well someone from the US in a recent thread was jumping with joy at receiving a $300 tax return. The long line of replys were all from the US. In another thread the Oracle of Mudcat McGrath from Harlow asked to be enlightened about a thread concerning the appointment of a black Judge to the Supreme Court, in that case he was certainly right as the thread began in such a way as to have the European Mudcatters confused. So Selby I am about the only one in this thread that believes you have a point. I usually lash on to the music threads but this thread struck a chord. [non musical]. I must finish by praising this site, unsurpassed for its contributors knowledge of folk music. Slan Ard Mhacha. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: RangerSteve Date: 28 Jul 01 - 10:57 AM Jeri - Want to form a rock band? Extraordinary Exploding Sheep Lungs is too good a name to waste. Little John Cameron - Thanks for the recipe. I was ignorant of the ingredients the only time I ever had haggis. Believe it or not, I'd eat it again, even knowing what's in it now. If anyone in New Jersey wants to try haggis, there's a Scottish deli in Hightstown that sells it. |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:12 PM This thread has drawn attention to a real potential threat to Mudcat...the Orillia Clique! Now, as a long time member of this would-be Orillia Clique, I will say this... We have TRIED to divide the Mudcat into regional groupings, we have ATTEMPTED to shut down threads, yes, we have even attempted TOTAL DOMINATION of this forum! And you know what? It's been an utter failure. Inner dissension in the clique itself has caused untold damage to our plans. Flattop's ramblings have imperilled our viability, to say nothing of our CREDibility. Some guy called catspaw49 keeps screwing things up by intruding on our discussions. He's not from Orillia, but no doubt wishes he was. It is his envy that makes him harass us (poor guy lives in the Midwest...some godforsaken piece of real estate called Ohio, if I remember correctly). Others have chosen to totally ignore us. I am going to return the favour by not naming a single one of them here. May they suffer in wretched anonymity... I am at this point deeply pessimistic about our chances of ever taking over this forum, but that doesn't mean you should not all remain vigilant. We're out there, eh? - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:57 PM Yorkshire pud- (you have made me hungry) has become universal, at least in the English-speaking world. I have found it across the States and Canada and certainly the people from the Upside down regions know it. A relative in the southern states is the hushpuppy, but made with fine corn flour. Thanks, Shambles, for the Britain Express site. |
