Just in case you really don't believe this is real, i found an article from the SeattleTimes about it happening at a restaurant in town. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2001788074_sushi11m.html BTW, in japan, there is no plastic wrap, and i meant British "Fanny".
Cool link, Bitcount. I guess I may need to visit Seattle soon I found this part of the article especially humorous: "It's dehumanizing, the manner in which people are buying and selling sushi to be eaten off a woman's body. It's dehumanizing to be treated as a plate," said Cherry Cayabyab, president of the Seattle chapter of National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum." I get so tired of these whiny people. These are the same ones that bitch and moan about how Hooters reaturants are horrible for women. The ones whining are jealous that they're too ugly to work there and make good money off tips like the pretty ones do. Prisoner figured out menudo. It isn't naked Italian guys, pulsar It's a broth (red or white) and two of the main ingredients are pig's feet and tripas (the lining from a cow's stomach). Tripas is horrible-nasty smelling as it's being prepared and cooked. I've heard the broth is quite tasty but I just can't get past the other stuff in it. Think about it, pigs feet have spent their entire existence stomping around in mud and pig crap - I don't care how well you clean it, it doesn't belong in soup. Anyone here tried haggis? I'm interested to hear what it's like.
Not too shocked about the sushi thing. In Toronto there is or was a restraunt that had a desert that was served of the stomack of a nearly naked woman. Brownies and wip cream around the belly button. And there was no plastic, you just hope she cleaned out all the belly button lint and previous guies drool out. Pigs feet are bad, picked. Pigs tail is also quite good. Hagis is really good, but depends on who and where you get it. Almost every family makes it differently, some really good spices, some really bad. Also how cooked is varies, I have seen boiled, baked, fried and steamed. My favorite is baked. Nephilim, I thought you were the one that wanted us to guess it. Oh well. Lots of fun food related things out there.
If i did not already know what Hagis was, i might be inclind to try it. If it were perhapes, presented to me as a "Mystery meat", but the organs of a sheep don't seem very appealing, but then again, i've eaten at Mcdonalds, so it might not be such a strech
The Haggis is a very rare & shy creature that requires stealth, cunning & wit to catch. They are noctural & are rarely seen in the wild. Not even David Attenboroughs' team has seen one in the wild. They only react to the tender singing of a choir in a soft Scottish accent. Many have tried to capture them for study. All attempts have failed.... with the exception of Wee Jock Poo Plop McPong. He captured one for a short time, & duly released it after the little known statutory '12hr release law' comes into effect. There are many species, all are extremely shy and very coy. The Haggis in the shops are there only to pander to the English/American obsession with the Haggis. Only a true Scotsman (such as myself) are aware of this 'slight' deception! I have never eaten the store Haggis out of respect for the wee timerid creature. I don't know what it tastes like but I was once told by a naive American tourist on the bonny bonny banks of Loch Lomond it tasted like spicey chicken with a hint of Camel poo!! I hope this helps! Kind regards.
Ah! the venerable haggis... There are actually two sub-species of the Haggis, though they look very similar, they CANNOT inter-breed: They are very rarely seen, as they live on the slopes of steep, wind-blown mountains of the Highlands of Scotland (look up the Cairngorms). The Blue-Tailed Haggis has the left leg shorter than the right leg, this is a genetic evolutionary adaptation to living on steep slopes and having to run fast to escape predators and sudden bad weather spells - the consequence of one leg being shorter than the other is the Blue-Tailed Haggis can only run round the mountain slope in an anti-clockwise direction, should it attempt to run the other direction it falls over and tumbles down the mountain to it's death. The Red-tailed Haggis is evolutionarily designed to run around the mountain in a CLOCKWISE direction. Hence the difficulty in cross-breeding the sub-species - every attempt leads to the participants dying out. Legendary Scottish poacher "Rob Roy" allegedly used to catch the Haggis by sending his dog after them, and waiting with a bag for the Haggis to run round the hill, whereupon seeing him waiting it would attempt to turn around to escape, fall over and be subsequently captured in the bag. Some claim this to be an old-wives tale, though many an "Auld Scot" argue that it is true and they have seen it themselves..... This history lesson brought to you by "the doc". Byeeee...
"If you can drink and eat it, I guessing this is some soup thing" You pretty much got it there, Prisoner I'm bad about keeping secrets too You had me rollin' pulsar! The ungrateful nagging hags we've all dated at one time or another are collectively known as Haggisses.
Ahh.. The British cuisine. Shepherds pie (not a sheep, shepherd or border collie in sight) & perhaps the most perplexing of all the battered mars bars. (this particular delicacy originated in my home town of Glasgow). The restless natives fed up of Highland dancing, Haggis spotting & the auldest pastime of all hating the English (!) The Scots have had an alliance with the French for hundreds of years. Something which has annoyed the English for aeons! They thought that their high fat diet neede pepping up a bit. Someone decided to batter & deep fry a Mars Bar (Sweet baby Jesus & the orphans). The Scottish Parliament has to solve the population problem of the aforementioned blue & red tailed mountain Haggis. This is a high priority piece of legislation and a solution has to be found. A highly trained team of Engineers have been commissioned to build some kind of framework to support each of the Haggis in their respective 'position of love' and then will be left to do the delicate act in a peaceful & loving atmosphere. (Scented candles & gentle music will also be needed) Hopefully these measures will aid the Haggii in their numbers. Only time will tell. Why the hell do the Americans call an arse a fanny? Are they all bonkers? They make me look positively almost half intelligent!
It's kind of amusing that us Yanks think that everyone else in the world uses funny words but us. Gee, which country has been around the shortest amount of time? At this year's Arizona State Fair there was a booth selling battered and deep fried Snickers bars, Twinkies and Oreo cookies. My sister tried all three - amongst many other treats - and then went on the roller coaster. Any guesses as to what happened next I love sheperd's pie too. Yummy! So are the engineers going to videotape the Haggi in action for Discovery Channel?
Have you ever tried deep fried ice cream (no bull shit) My mate made it one night when we were drunk simply because i did not belive it. You just get some strips of bread and wrap it around some ice cream and drop it into the frier for about 30 seconds,you end up with fried bread on the outside and the ice cream is still frozen its realy nice try it sometime. PS its hard to come up with a British food thats got a weird name because we have a habbit of calling things what they are,such as Leek and ham pie or sausage and chips, still looking though.
Hey a question for the Brits in this thread. When you say "pants" do you mean underwear? I got his from watching Red Dwarf. Just a curiosity on my part.
Yes pants are underwear. Other euphemisms are as follows; Grotts, trolleys, bloomers, shreddies, knickers, hmm can't think of any more, hang on tangers, undies,
I always liked gotch, for brits underwear. Great seeing my grand father, get all the old brit terms. Grip, gotch, lift, ete. We better watch out for those cute little haggi, very special creature and delicate. I don't think I will be tring spotted dick any time soon. But Devens clotted cream (the true half and half) is great.
I take it y-fronts are just plain-old fruit of the looms? No hand here - they give me wedgies all day I always called underwear "drawers" or "skivies". Anybody still wear underoos?
Gentlemen, i have a good one. "Prairie Oysters", no google searching allowed. This is not in any way, seafood or maritime related.
