FOOD TRIVIA: Funny British Names for Foods
The British, until recently not known for their culinary accomplishments, have some unique, and sometimes bizarre, names for foods. Examples include; Bubble and Squeak ( fried potatoes and cabbage), Toad in the Hole ( British sausages baked in Yorkshire Pudding dough), Spotted Dick ( a pudding studded with raisins), Clapshot ( mashed turnips with potatoes and chives), Cullen Skink (Scottish smoked Haddock/potato soup), Faggots ( meatballs), Ploughman's Lunch (cold meat, cheese, salad and chutney), Fool (sweetened, pureed fruit folded into whipped cream) and Miser's Feast ( Welch potatoes and pork).
