Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 9/10 : I've never understood the attraction to long stays in the bathroom ...!?!? What the Hell are people doing in there , anyway ? Is it such a lovely place to be ? A Prime rib roast of Angus beef , medium , Yorkshire pudding , gravy , mash , and a tossed green salad with a simple but flavorful vinegrette ( perhaps a little Balsimic vinegar ) . (I've never tried a steak and kidney pie -- on my list to do , though ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've never understood the attraction to long stays in the bathroom ...!?!? What the Hell are people doing in there , anyway ? Is it such a lovely place to be ? Me neither. Unless it´s a foam bath and you can relax in the tub for some 15 minutes... if it´s more, it can be boring too...

katie_sane Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Edna, I think Diggs means toilet, not actual bathroom. He probably wants 1/2 and hour in there undisturbed so he can read the newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 No , I mean't the toilet , Edna ... some people find that a relaxing place to be and they'll take their time . Do you know what I mean ? Not taking a bath . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiggsUK Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Its genetic. I put my kids to bed recently, then went up 2 hours later to check on them to find my eldest lad welded to the pot with his head in a book..... Kevin - are you on a British food 'tip' at the moment? If so, you will doubtlessly be choosing curry next.... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what I mean ? Not taking a bath . I know what you mean, I also hate it when people disappear into the toilet with MY newspaper... and I have to wait half an hour to read it... disgusting... but in Spain, toilets and bathrooms are the same (well, we also have a just-toilet...)

Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Just grew up on it . Beef tongue ? Sheep's brains and liver and onions , too ! Yum ! Yum !

katie_sane Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 What about tripe and onions with white sauce then Kevin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Are they by gum? I thought all Canadians were called Serge, had Gallic stubble and worried beaver...... Nice part of the country though, Shrewsbury.... I belive they still overboil their veggies there. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's true , sad to say , but , strangely , one developes a ' taste ' for it -- and ends up guilty themselves . What are YOU talking about Katie ?! That sounds like PURE puke ... ? !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was testing your English stomach, Kevin. C'mon, if you can swallow black pudding and lamb's fry, surely tripe is just another in a line of fine English eating! Tripe is absolutely foul. I think my grandmother fed it to my father and uncle. Ox tongue soup is very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Ox tongue? I've heard of ox tail. Katie, don't you people have chickens in Oz? How about some nice escarole soup with acina pepe pasta and hearty, homemade beef broth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 We do. We also have kangaroos. I've never eaten roo though. Lot of people say it is really good. What's escarole soup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Well, many people refer to it as Italian wedding soup. Escarole is a tender leafy green. The base of the soup is usually very hearty beef stock mixed with chicken stock and the vegetables used in making the broth. Then little tiny meatballs are added along with a very small pasta like acina pepe. Before serving egg and cheese are poured on top of the soup. It's delicious.

Uncle Joe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 By the way, most Italian-Americans pronounce it "scadol soup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Its genetic. I think it's quite gender-ic. MY son, who is no biological relation to any of my family (which, by the way, has two male people and both spend ridiculous amounts of time in the loo) takes a lifetime in the bathroom. He didn't get that from me! 10/10 for anything delicious, Laurie I had alligator a few weeks ago... was actually quite good, and I didn't have the guilt about eating something that in itself is an eating machine.
