Some loose threads to tie up here (and to veer off at a tangent from this one yet again):

Caitlinn:  I don't have a recipe for Sticky Toffee Pudding, but if I try plying Joss with strong drink, she may let some secrets out.  Or I may try blackmailing my business partner Molly.  Whatever, I'll get a recipe for you.

Vnice: I was about to ask whether I was the first ever to dedicate a poem to you.  Then I saw your lovely photos in the site album, and realized what a preposterous question that was - you must have had hundreds!

Marlspo:  sorry to have awakened cravings for Mom's cooking, particularly when you are in your present blissy state.  My own mother's cookery is the yardstick by which I judge all others.  Joss's mum's cooking however is frankly the worst in the world: she has a way of drying out pork chops under a very cool grill (the heat only slightly warmer than a chorister's breath) that defies description - if she were to serve up boot-leather, it would be more palatable.  But she's a lovely lady!

Waterg, me ol' squire:  I rather think Vnice in her last eye-rolling post is catching our English habit of double-entendre-detection! We shall have to take care with our words!

Thanks Howard...I'll have to give you more recipes if this is the response I get!   ;)

Actually DH's poetic soul is one reason I married him!

Hey, Howard, if we are swapping recipes, in return for blacking mail business partners or plying the other half with drinks, I could always divulge my lovely pepper steak recipe.  Mind you, this is an American thing, so it won't be pepper steak as you know it.

Still lovely all the same.  Yum!

You know a bacon Sandwich tastes so much better when it is given the proper british title of "Bacon Butty".  All sandwiches taste better as Butty's and they sound cuter too  ;D    Ham Butty, Cheese Butty, Steak Butty MMMmmmmmmm  :D

MMMMM....Bacon...so yummy!!!  I like BOTH American and British bacon, but hate Canadian bacon.  I do not think that Canadian Bacon is the same as British bacon...it's similar, but has a different flavor IMHO.

American bacon is good for a side thingy or on sandwiches, and I do like it crunchy. ;)  British bacon, well that is a sandwich in and of itself...get some crispy rolls, butter, ketchup, and bacon and I'm am happy as can be.  I know they're horrible for you, but I eat them almost everyday I am in the UK.  Yummy...mouth is drooling. ;D

As far as baked beans go, we've got the Brits beat on that...sorry to say, but the UK ones are just way too bland. ;)

I found the best way to make bacon here taste more like good ole US bacon is to put a few tablespoons of Olive Oil in the bottom of the pan and cook at a very high heat - that gives the bacon more of a crispiness.  It's still not the same, but it's close.

And I still havent figured out what that Streaky bacon stuff that Sainsbury's sells is.  It's not quite UK bacon, and it's definitely not US bacon.  

On another note - I find it amusing here that so many people I talk to here think it's DISGUSTING that Americans will eat pancakes or french toast with bacon and put syrup all over everything! This from the people who fancy picked onion crisps!!

Oh, what I wouldn't give for a deuxe Denny's breakfast...
