They will be there this weekend.

Does tacking the "-ies" to the end of any food make it Brittish?


I just want to be clear on this.

How dare you accuse me of making British food? You bloody peasant! There's no blood pudding or baked beans in these. Only scallywags and ruffians and hooligans would ever endure such an inhumane treatment of the palate.

And if it were a British term it'd be "Explodium" as that's how they pronounce it over there.

mmmmm, massive piles of greasy pork product. They sure were tasty. We may have to construct a Bacon Fence around the Bacon Explosions to keep out unwanted Pork Poachers.

if mar there be on look out might need all that grease.

Oh yes, Mar will be there. But he will have other things to keep him busy. lol

twas good, despite the heartburn when I was trying to sleep :P

I was thinking more like pasties, boxties, rollies, toasties and cakies.


For some strange reason, UK demonyms end in -ish and food items, particularly the small, bite-sized ones, end in -ies. If you ever meet a Brit and he offers you some Kentish tarties, you'll see what I mean.

EDIT: I had to check out that last one to see if it actually existed. It does, but the term isn't exclusive to pastries... :lol:

hmmm...bacon pudding could be on a future menu
