How the heck did a thread about self-diagnosis dissolve into a thread about cultural differences? I'm not trying to be mean; I find it funny! :lol:

The object of the thread has been resolved. We're just having table talk now :D

^That sounds good to me!
I sometimes call cookies 'biscuits', and I love English muffins, crumpets, and custard. Isn't it weird how, if you pronounced it with a Canadian 'zed', the word zebra would be 'zed-bra' instead?

LOL, now please explain a toad in the hole. I watched too many episodes of "Are You Being Served."

Yes, sorry, if you don't know a Yorkie, it's made with flour, water and fat.

and you have it with roast meat, roast potatoes and veggies, excellent on a wet and windy, winter Sunday. Some pubs now make a plate out of it.

Still nice with jam on though.

but then someone always has to go too far.

Toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with sausages inside.

Guess I may as well join in, since I was thinking about this one earlier today. To any Britons, what does "Blow me out" mean? They sing it in "Country House" by Blur, so I don't think it's dirty since that was a big single. The lyric is, "Blow me out / I am so sad/ I don't know why." Sounds like he's jokingly asking someone to kill him?

Where's the jam??????? 8O

HighLlama, I think you are right. I think it was a comment on the man who has everything but happiness, and is seriously depressed.

I am unproffessionally diagnosing a bunch of you as Anglophiles. I think the description is spot on.

Hello ASPoM, I like your signature, about the peg, but do you know it's not technically accurate?

I'm reminded of a visit to the US years ago. We were dining at a restaurant with English food (yep, I know...) and the American group next to us were browsing the menu.

I overheard:

"Beef roast dinner...potatoes, vegetables, what's a Yorkshire Pudding?"

His friend replied:

"It's like a muffin, with berries in".

Ugh.

Didn't lean over and correct him because I realised I had no clue how to actually describe it. I guess, having thought about it now, I'd go for 'really thick batter that turns into a dough', or something. He still ordered it, anyway.

Are those crumpets in the pudding club?

Some American cooks call a Yorkshire pudding a pop over.
