Posted: Ahh, Cutie Poi, look at what you've started me on You've got me missing the UK madly now. Oh, for mince meat pie with some salt and vinegar chips, a pint of the house cider from the Glouster Arms in Oxford, and stumbling through Camden town with new friends on the piss looking for the next off licence.*sigh* I miss the Cornish coast most of all. Most beautiful place I've ever seen.Bugger..... Maybe someday I'll get to come back.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.

Posted: Crisps mate. Not chips. Chips are them things you have with fish. Been out on the lash have we? Staggering round trying to find an offie. Ah, halcyon days.....Mince pie has me a bit baffled though. Mince pies we have at christmas. They are sweet. Not savoury. Not the kind of thing you would be having with crisps I would've thought. Maybe I've nmisunderstood.
Posted: I did mean chips, what we Americans call french fries. If you've never had them with salt and vinegar then you've missed out. I've never been a fan of potato "crisps" (as long as I live I'll never get used to calling them that). As for the mince pie, I actually had that in Chepstoe, Wales. In a small Place right off the high street. Possibly Welsh cooking terms differ from English, I wouldn't really know. Mince meat pie was what they called it though, and it was tasty. It was chopped beef in a thick gravy, not unlike an American pot pie.And yes, when I went stumbling through London and Oxford, I was always looking for an offie as I was only 17 at the time and got bounced out of more respectable pubs than I would care to admit. Appearantly the owners looked down upon an under age American with a mohawk and a dirty old trench coat coverd in travel dust and lager.------------------If you love something, set it on fire.[This message has been edited by SickpuPpy (edited 03 January 2002).]

Posted: Oh no, we've opressed the welsh for to long for their cooking to differ from ours. Anything good we've nicked off em good and proper.It was probably a meat pie. It's just mince pies is one of them things that Americans trip up on. Like pavements (tehe). Yeah, chips with salt and vinegar is a winner. Have you drunk bitter as well as cider? I have a hell of a time explaining that to americans. "It's like lager only it's darker and, well, bitter...."------------------C@ntusThere's only one way of life and that's your own.
Posted: Yes I have had bitter, but it has to be a good one for me to really enjoy it, 'cuz bad bitter is just bad bitter.
