  We have a few English restaurants here in Denver, one called Pints.  Kidney pie, bangers and mash, Yorkshire pudding, etc on their menus.  Also the Scottish haggis at the the Celtic meets.  I make my own version of "bangers and mash" with the Polska Kielbasa.

  I never had it, but I've heard of it for quite awhile.  I learned about it in the early 1980's by a local sports columnist visiting the UK.  I used to get the old Andy Capp comics and a ->-bleeped-<-got was a cigarette "Hey bloke, you got a ->-bleeped-<-got?".  We got a laugh from that.

I believe you are referring to a ->-bleeped-<- as a cigarette.  ->-bleeped-<-gots are either a kind of unskinned offal sausage served in gravy or a bundle of sticks you put on the fire.

It works the other way too, in the US pants are trousers, in the UK pants are underwear.  Whatever you do do not use the term Fanny Pack in the UK.  I tne US this is a waist bag, in the UK a fanny is a ladies front bottom!

That is an important distinction.

I remember the first time I heard the American word 'fanny pack'... it was on the Simpsons and my mum burst out laughing. I was quite young at the time and had to ask her why!
Yeah, I've had spotted dick, it's quite nice actually, despite the name. (:

The last time I spotted Dick, he was running to catch a bus. That was in 1986 and I have not seen him since.

Genius!  :D

We had our own version of Toad in the Hole when I was in Scouts.  Just a slice of bread with a hole in the centre for frying an egg.  Just realised how dubious the first sentence sounds now!  ::)

He always had shaving cuts so 'Spotted Dick' was inevitable...

I'm glad my thread let the double entendres run wild.
