Seagulls are meat eaters and the ones here are huge.

I grew up in an inland city. Near a lake and rivers, but more city than water. We would get gulls around the water, in fields and after the advent of McDonalds, in parking lots. We called them sea gulls. When I went out to Vancouver BC once and saw the size of those gulls I felt like a fraud calling our teensy tiny birds “sea” gulls! They look much the same but much much smaller.

There are seagulls near Las Vegas believe it or not, probably because of Lake Mead. But like you're saying a much smaller skinnier version.

So I was watching this movie that featured the consumption of pork pies. Which makes me want to try one. So far I haven't found a place that has them. But I did find a place in a nearby town that serves bangers and mash, which is also something I've wanted to try, and looking forward to tucking in. I'm a bit of an anglophile who likes to masticate.

You don’t masticate much with bangers and mash.

What does that have to do with eating a pudding bread type dessert?

I'm guessing though that like mashed potatoes, spotted dick is soft. Soft enough to slark. Slark or slarking is my word for anything that can be eaten without chewing.

And just to be clear, I am intending for words like anglophile, masticating and soft spotted dick to sound sexual.

Well then you should have educated yourself on matters like that the way I did:

Higher education pays off. It's amazing or perhaps tragic how many things I know via TV shows and movies.

I learned a lot of useful things through TV and movies, actually.

Interestingly, I learned next to nothing from Sesame Street----perhaps because I was already almost 9 when it started.

Sesame Street was in b/w when I was little.I think was 7 when our local PBS station went to color.
