Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Jon Freeman Date: 28 May 01 - 07:17 PM It is Peg, I like my bacon grilled but the bread dripping with butter... The smell of one cooking even gets my vegetarian father tempted... Doesn't seem to have the same effect on my mother though but, like me, she did get a laugh out of the verse. Jon |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Sorcha Date: 28 May 01 - 11:42 PM Perhaps the "butt" end of a side of bacon that cannot be sliced? That's my guess anyway. Wonderful song, that. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: alison Date: 29 May 01 - 12:15 AM and for the vegetarians out there..... chip butties with the butter dripping out are great too.....but you need good thick chips, thin french fries won't do..... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Noreen Date: 29 May 01 - 05:15 AM A butty is a sandwich. I don't like butter in bacon butties though, my favourite way is to fry the rashers of bacon, then lightly fry the bread in the bacon fat (or dip the bread in the fat then grill it, if there's too much fat in the pan- don't like the bread too greasy). Yum! Good verse, Rob. Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Max Tone Date: 29 May 01 - 05:55 AM Some translations fer Sassenachs, Screives = writes, Wheesht = shut (up), (be) quiet, Sicht = sight, Bluid = blood, Unco = (adj)uncanny, strange,weird, (adv) uncommonly, extremely, Guid = good. Quines = women. "Unco Guid" has come to mean "The Rigidly Righteous"; Robert Burns used (penned?) the term in the poem I used as my original:- "Address to the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous" -- blicky Check it out -- all the Scots words are linked to translations. I hope Rabbie would approve! Rob |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Rowana (at work) Date: 29 May 01 - 01:08 PM Good one, Max Tone! I have bacon butties every Sunday morning; I prefer to have my bread toasted, though. Guess technically it's not a bacon butty but a bacon sandwich but it's still delish! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 29 May 01 - 03:53 PM Order a BLT- (bacon, lettuce, tomato) but tell them to leave out the LT and drizzle the bread with butter as it toasts (on a grill, not in a toaster). I am going into the kitchen- NOW! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: GUEST,JohnB Date: 29 May 01 - 05:02 PM Jon Freeman, tell your dad that he is not the only vegetarian who occasionaly yields to the temptation of the dark side. They have a cafeteria where I work that serves stuff like that every day. Every now and then I leave home without breakfast for some reason or other and find the temptation too great, it is definitely the smell that gets you. The only meat smell I can handle. It happened to me just yesterday. JohnB |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Peg Date: 29 May 01 - 09:07 PM what's real fun is to cook up some bacon when you are off camping at a pagan gathering among people who elected to get on the vegetarian meal plan but who are not themselves vegetarians; be sure to wait until the end of the week when they are really starved for meat... I experienced as one of the unfortunate vegetarians and now I always bring seme bacon along on a camping trip...

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY From: Matthew Edwards Date: 30 May 01 - 03:35 PM There is another song on the same subject,which you may hear sung by Ken Hall on the excellent CD "as close as can be" by Peta Webb & Ken Hall (Fellside FECD155).The song is written by Fred McCormick in praise of the noble bacon butty,and contains some splendidly tortuous rhymes;e.g.anguish/sandwich.Transcribing the song is beyond my powers I'm afraid. |
