Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: GUEST,Greyeyes (at work) Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:01 AM Grits? In a pub in Hampshire? With eggs over easy? I don't think so! You'll have to make do with a pickled egg and a pint of wallop like everyone else. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:06 AM An Airfix Pig? Oh Gervase, you've been sniffing the glue again haven't you! Take the lid off next time.... If you can get dry roasted peanuts, why aren't the others called wet roasted peanuts? And I think I found the landlord. He's dead. Dead drunk that is. He was unconscious under the bar, and one of those wayward darts appears to have hit the spigot. Consequently there has been a dribble of Trooper's Droop into his open gob, and he is completely gonzoed. I've checked his pulse (for this read rifled his pockets) and found a contact address. Apparently his next of kin is that lady whom Mrs Dimbuttock has just moved in with. I think there is something she isn't telling us. Now, where did that long slow screw go? LTSH |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Allan C. Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:10 AM It would appear that Susan A/R has brought some grits along with her. She is an amazingly well prepared person. But while I can appreciate the occasional pickled egg, I wonder if you could suggest an alternative to having a pint? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:14 AM Allan, welcome to cocktail hour!!! How about a Bloody Mary, or without the vodka, which is either a Virgin Mary, or a Bloody Shame. You could drink shorts, but bearing in mind that we have already lost one weekend, I suggest you go baptist (sorry Baptists out there, it's just a figure of speech) and drink something soft. I've been known to be baptist myself for long times at a stretch, but am guilty of backsliding, and besides, I forget which car park I left the car in... I have in the past, forgotten which car I brought, and have walked up and down looking for a little blue one, when I had the big red one with me.... Actually, I think I'll join you in the farty water for a while..... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: MMario Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:25 AM grits...nah - but some polenta fried up in bacon grease...now THAT's rib stickin' down home comfort food. Until you bite into it. then you remember why you don't ever make it. *grin* have to be in the right mood for it. Like this time of year I always get a craving for really cheap [I'm talking Under five dollars a GALLON] dry red wine...*remembrances of Gallo's dry Red Parma* about 4 ounces of that will cure you of wanting any more for six months to a year, but sometimes I just needto have it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:31 AM some polenta fried up in bacon grease.... Wha??? bleeuuuuuuuurgggggggggggggggggggck. Fried Christmas pudding in white bread sandwiches.... yum. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: MMario Date: 12 Dec 00 - 09:39 AM LTS - that sounds goooooooooood...maybe it'll be my christmas prezzie to me... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Gervase Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:45 AM Polenta in bacon grease? Now that's what I call food! That's one I'm going to try... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: MMario Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:48 AM you have to make the polenta thick enough you can slice it when it's cold. then fry till the outside is crispy and brown. It's not too shabby - especially if you make a good polenta in the first place |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: GUEST,Fibula Mattock Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:54 AM Well I feel sorry for the hungry hoards so here's a big plate of pickled egg and onion sandwiches. Though I could do with a bacon and cheese toastie myself... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Naemanson Date: 12 Dec 00 - 10:55 AM Liz, in the southern US they eat boiled peanuts so there is a real difference between dry roasted and boiled peanuts. Now I want an Irish coffee. Let me drink up this old beer, wonder whose it was? The cigarette butts add a little flavor to the stout and make a vast improvement. Now let's see, in honor of our merry hosts! DRINK OLD ENGLAND DRY
Now come, me brave boys, as I've told you before |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Kim C Date: 12 Dec 00 - 11:05 AM Being a Southerner I love grits. One of my fave snackies is a fried egg sammich on toast. But I likes eggs just about any way you can fix em. MMario, I love polenta too! Although here in TN they call that cornmeal mush. I usually make it as a porridge but I need to try it fried one of these days. Now that I have got my weight back down I can have a few more carbs! A former college boyfriend's mother used to make this dish she called prit. It was a liver-loaf sort of thing, then she sliced it and fried it up and the boys ate it with syrup. It was all right.... she said it was the only way she could get them to eat liver when they were kids! I am looking forward to Christmas dinner at my auntie's. She is the most fabulous Southern cook ever, besides Mom, of course. Actually Dad was the best-- but we won't tell Mom that. At least I come by it honest! (dang, now I'm hungry.......) |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Noreen Date: 12 Dec 00 - 12:24 PM Hey, that Dimblebum bloke was really nice once you got to know him... wonder where he went? Bacon butties all round! |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Micca Date: 12 Dec 00 - 12:38 PM Can I settle for one of Alison's (theF1) Ulster frys? as described in a song she sent, with a few, slices of Bubble and Squeak( sorry Liz not you) to ease the pangs of hunger, and "great liver-crippling draughts of tea" to wash it down..and I will apologise in advance for the noxious vapours produced, Ok Ok I'l have a slice of fried Xmas pud too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Diva Date: 12 Dec 00 - 01:40 PM Fried egg sandwiches with lots of salt and a bottle of red cos we can't be bothered to make tea. It happened a few years ago,Newcastleton Festival 4am Sunday morning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Naemanson Date: 12 Dec 00 - 01:50 PM Bubble and Squeak! Oh God! Back in high school in Houlton, Maine, US, that was one of the menu items and we made up the most gawdawful theories as to what was in it. As I remember it was a concoction of rice and tomato sauce and some kind of meat and a few other things that couldn't be distinguished. Would someone be kind enough to post a recipe or description so I can know what is in REAL bubble & squeak? Ah, Irish Coffee in the morning sets you up right for the whole day. Waddya mean this ain't morning? Howza about a rousing sea chanty?
We just set sail from Portland town

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 12 Dec 00 - 02:10 PM Bubble and Squeak is left over mashed potato and cabbage, with maybe bit of onion mixed in for flavour, all fried up together, preferably in bacon fat, till it develops a lovely crisp golden crust on the outside. A fantastic breakfast dish, with an egg on top. I like it with chilli sauce, but that's not exactly traditional in the UK. I've no idea where the rice and tomatoes fit in. It takes its name from the noise it makes in the pan (allegedly). |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Les from Hull Date: 12 Dec 00 - 02:41 PM You'll not get all this posh food in an English pub. You'll have to make do with the Ploughman's Lunch. I'll distract him... |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 12 Dec 00 - 03:16 PM If you don't like the local bitter, try a ginger beer shandy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Kim C Date: 12 Dec 00 - 03:47 PM Ohmagawd I LOVE shandy!!!!! And I love ginger beer! Where do I get in line???!!!!!?!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: mousethief Date: 12 Dec 00 - 03:49 PM What exactly is shandy? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 12 Dec 00 - 04:03 PM Usually Shandy is beer and lemonade, but a more grown-up version, the ginger beer shandy, is, fairly obviously, beer and ginger beer. A good quality traditional ginger beer, not too sweet, produces the best result. It takes the bitter edge off traditional British beer which some people don't like, and is very refreshing on a hot day. Some people, of course, consider it beer pollution, but Hampshire is still a free County. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Bert Date: 12 Dec 00 - 04:09 PM Yup, on a really hot day, REAL beer drinkers are partial to a pint or two of shandy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 12 Dec 00 - 04:13 PM Hear hear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Les from Hull Date: 12 Dec 00 - 06:04 PM You're lucky to get ginger beer in a pub up here. But ginger beer is also my preferred mixer for gin - get them both really cold, the glass too, not of that nasty ice stuff. Look what it did for the Titanic. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: The Shambles Date: 12 Dec 00 - 06:27 PM I hope that no more than two people are playing at one time, and that no one is dancing in this pub? |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Morticia Date: 12 Dec 00 - 06:42 PM Dear Mother, I know I said I'd be up to see you this weekend but I wondered into a pub last Friday night and haven't been sober enough to find the floor with my feet since.It's been a right good do, although the smell of pickled eggs, both in their natural state and post-digestion has meant a regular diving for cover.Only one person has been arrested,that we know of, and when she took off her jacket Sgt Lillicrap acccompanied her back here meek as a lamb.Dunno what she said to him but he hasn't stopped blushing yet. Loads of my mates are cooking up things I don't recognise in the kitchen, smells good from here but then I've been living on salt and vinegar crisps so could eat a scabby cow between two bread vans. Anyway, mum, sorry about not getting there but you can always come over and join us, otherwise I expect it will be covered in the papers before too long. Your darling daughter Morticia P.S. Could you send bail money.....just in case. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: CarolC Date: 13 Dec 00 - 02:16 AM BREAKING NEWS BULLETIN: PUB HIJACKED IN HAMPSHIRE On Friday, December 8th, a pub in Hampshire was hijacked by an unknown group of people who have identified themselves only as "Mudcatters". It is not known at this time what the demands of these people are, except for a week's supply of "grits", eggs, bacon grease, coffee, and shandy. Strange sounds have been emanating from the pub since the hijacking. Witnesses have described the sounds as being something like music, but more like the sounds of people and animals being slowly tortured. One woman in the group is reported to have threatened to "Kill the constable" if Mel Gibson is not delivered to her within twenty-four hours. It is not clear at this time what the woman's reasons are for this request. However, she was overheard by one reporter mumbling something about a long slow screw against the wall...

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Dec 00 - 11:17 AM Praise stumbles in, covered in soot and ripely reminiscent of cleaning materials, sweat, and smoke. The last time she had this wild look in her eye, she smashed Hardi over the head with a bar glass for fiddling with Sorcha. She plants her hands on her hips in aggressive disgust and starts up with a raucous, unladylike tone: "You dozey lot, there's WORK to be done, by God! Can't some of you layabouts come help me muscle all this damn LAUNDRY around? I've got five bags I can't even lift out of the car! And more back home! Can't we eat, drink, and be merry while the wash tumbles? Snogging whilst perched atop churning machinery? THERE ya go.... yes, right this way.... Naemanson bring the butterscotch eggnog.... DO load up all that good hi-energy food, I'm working so hard I'm starving... bubbly pies for me.... we'll warm 'em up in the dryer... toss and fold, toss and fold, toss and fold... snap the sheets smartly, aye! "And quit calling me PRAISE fer Christ's sake! Me focking name's SUSAN!!! Or Sooz! Or Flooz! Or Sugar Dog or WonderGoose!

[Keg begins to foam dangerously] Here, let's pour in some of this soap. [Up ends the grits container. Foam gushes up over the sides of the keg and onto the floor of the room.] [Outside the hysterical woman is screaming, "That woman carried those sacks in there and didn't come out again. And there is still all that noise. And look at the foam sliding out the door. Someone call the autorities!" |

Some women is screamin' "Clog your Arteries!" Luckily I found eggs an' bacon' an sausage and lotsa butter, and some crude-etties. Wha? y'know, them veggie things to dip into dips an' stuff. So wi' some garlic we got a version of bagna cauda for the dippy people and over there is a sausage loaf well wrapped in streaky bacon; and I'm makin' omelets to order on the grill. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: GUEST,Marley's Ghost Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:17 PM Groans,stumbles through the door rattling chains and moneyboxes... Did ye not know that this place was haunted? In life I was its most esteemed patron,Jacob Marley,but one Christmas Eve I was making quite merry when,in the act of dodging a tiple flung by a disgruntled listener,I stepped in the spittoon and was knocked in a sprawl against the corner of the bar,where my forehead struck the sturdy oak which dealt me the fatal blow.And now you see before you my shade,which can neither draw bow,strum string,nor strike the bodhran player sharply on the top of his head when he needs it.It is at this time of the rolling year that I suffer most,when revel rings within the confines of this tavern,and I may not join in.But sing me a chorus of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,if ye would,to ease my heart while I draw a chair by the fire. Sits down amid a great clinking and clanking cacophony. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 13 Dec 00 - 03:32 PM I happen to know for a fact that Jacob Marley never frequented The Mudcat Arms, Hampshire. That ghost is an imposter. On no account buy it a drink, I think it might be on the scrounge. Come to think of it, it bears a striking resemblance to a local felon who PC Dimbutttock (of the Yard) would be very interested in having a little chat with, were he in a fit state. You have been warned! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: GUEST,Marley's Ghost Date: 13 Dec 00 - 04:26 PM Looks up from partially completed drawing of a chair,and smiles while erasing incorrect foreshortening in the arm. I thank ye for the spirited rendition,and wouldst join thee in a glass of ale except, that there be not room enough for the both of us in there.(Well,it was a new joke when I was alive). But shame on ye,Greyeyes! Do ye not know me? Your remark shows that ye are under-blessed in Christmas Spirits,and therefore,you will be visited by three ghosts this night.Look for the first when the clock strikes one! Fades,re-appears to grab his pint,fades again. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Les from Hull Date: 13 Dec 00 - 04:36 PM That Marley's Ghost will get us in trouble with the Licensing Laws. No spirits after 11 o'clock! |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 13 Dec 00 - 04:59 PM Ha, I laugh in the face of false spirits, give me a stiff gin any day. Yes I do know "ye", that's precisely my point. I've met your sort before, preying on the gullibility of tourists who wouldn't recognise a real ghost if it got into bed with them. Be off with you, you old charlatan, and leave that beer behind, you haven't paid for it and it isn't yours. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Morticia Date: 13 Dec 00 - 05:06 PM Oh ohhhhhh, that's you for the off, Greyeyes, and we've only just met......if you wouldn't mind just paying your bar tab.......just in case you understand. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 13 Dec 00 - 05:11 PM Oh ye of little faith. I ain't afraid of no ghost. Especially not one called Jacob Marley in Hampshire. I mean. Rattling chains and saying "ye" and "Wouldst". How cliched can you get! |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Greyeyes Date: 13 Dec 00 - 07:06 PM How many genuine ghosts do you know who sit in the corner of pubs stealing other people's beer and desperately trying to conceal pickled eggs about their person? I tell you he's a notorious scrumper, and scourge of the Squire's pheasant pens. If Dimbuttock (of various Yards) wasn't fatigued with alcohol the artificial spectre would have been frog-marched away for some intensive interrogation by now. Should I expect the first apparition at one EST or GMT? I'm not working tomorrow, so can wait up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Naemanson Date: 13 Dec 00 - 10:27 PM With his head tucked underneath his arm, He walks the Mudcat Arms, With his head tucked underneath his arm, Looking quite alarmed. He met with Marley's ghost he meant giving him what for, "Gadzooks to you," the ghost replied, "It's my beer you can pour," And suddenly an axe came flying through the door. And he had his head tucked underneath his arm! |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: kimmers Date: 15 Dec 00 - 09:49 PM I'm back, and damn am I glad to see all of you. It's been a long and dreadful week. My husband is grouchy and the house is a mess. So, let me pull up a seat and join in. Anything hot and powerfully alcoholic to drink? Something involving Irish whiskey? And the singing seems to have died out into a quiet generalized gurgle. I guess it's hard to sing with your face squashed into the bar.

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Caitrin Date: 16 Dec 00 - 06:24 PM *peeks in the doorway, since it's been a while since she's been by* Hm...Hampshire, eh? I'm of legal drinking age here! And after a week of exams, Lord knows I could use one. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to develop a taste for Guinness...suggestions for something a bit lighter? |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Naemanson Date: 16 Dec 00 - 08:40 PM Don't worry about developing a taste for Guinness. I sometimes think it's like those heavy sweaters that folkies were once required to wear. You can't be a folkie these days if you don't drink Guinness. Bah Humbug! Try a pale ale or a shandy. Irish coffee is good too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Welcome to the Mudcat Arms: Part 2 From: Matt_R Date: 16 Dec 00 - 09:30 PM Beer? Blechhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm still an iced tea heathen. Anyone up for some Subterreanean Homesick Blues? My harmonicas are in sore need to be blown through. |
