OK, I've succumbed! I'm wanna try Brit baking!!

Can any Brit regulars recommend Paul Hollywood's new cookbook, Pies
and Puds?

I usta have the cookbook companion to the Aubrey/Maturin series of
novels (P. O'Brian), but it was too dang ancient. Even the authors
admitted they had probs trying to authenticate such items as, "Soused
Pig Face(?) and "sea pie", fer example.

PH's new cookbook is a bit more modern. I wanna learn about "stk &
kidney" pies, "pasties", and hot-crust "pork pies". etc. So I'm
asking the "limey" contingent, here in rfc, does the new PH cookbook
actually deliver?

I've no idea, haven't seen or tried his recipes or book.

Jamie Oliver and Delia Smith both provide excellent traditional
recipes for what you want to make, and both are very reliable authors
(their recipes WORK).

Many of them are available online, so you could try them out for free.

I have a question. My understanding is that the the phrase "fanny pack" is considered naughty in the UK. What's naughty about it and what about this person? Thanks.

Sorry I don't know who Paul Hollywood is.

As for steak & kidney pie, I first saw a recipe for it in 'The Good
Housekeeping Cookbook' circa 1978. My father gave the cookbook to me
for my 18th birthday. I like to read cookbooks so I remembered that
book had a recipe for it. Steak & Kidney Pie always sounded intriguing.

I've never been able to find kidneys. Not beef or lamb kidneys. Not
even at the butcher shop in town which is co-owned by a woman from the
UK and her Southern US husband. LOL She says she can't get kidneys.
This is a regional thing. But the recipe for Steak & Kidney Pie is easy
enough to find.

Does it sound offensive to seppos?

As a British colleague explained to me, "fanny" as understood by Brits
refers to a portion of female anatomy 180 degrees around from what we Yanks
rhink of as "fanny".

I've got a good friend who grew up in England and he always uses
that word. It certainly doesn't bother him even though he was a
limey. Maybe the ones here do take offense though. I don't know.

Really nothing offensive meant with the term. British sailors of
old ate limes to prevent scurvey on long sea voyages. Back then,
the French were called "frogs" just because their green uniforms
were about frog color to someone.

That would be my understanding too. What I don't understand is why someone would name their daughter "Fanny." Wouldn't that be like me naming my daughter "bagina?"

Pom, kiwi, aussie, seppo are all not offensive, as far as I know.
Seppo's not used much anymore, I think. I hear pom and kiwi all the
time.

I always thought it was because they ate frogs, but you could be
right.

I had a girlfriend named Gina. Rhymed with Geena. Real name was
Mary Regina.
I'll bet your Gina is prounced the same way and not your claim.

Really Janet UK? Where did that come from? Are you just another
worn out old bitter biddy? There are still a few of you around.
Your evil comments will die off along with you soon. I hope your

Could just be the way her parents wanted it pronounced. Just like the
odd spelling of simple names that forces a person to spell their name to
others for the rest of their life.

Karen -- Caryn
Emily -- Emmalee
Ryan -- Ryun
Jackson -- Jaxson

Why?

I always thought "Limey's" was a slightly affectionate term
applied to British sailors due to their discovery of limes preventing
scurvy. If I've offended any British subjects for using this term, I
apologize.

I don't mind being called Ed but I never assume that James wants to be
called Jim or Elizabeth is Liz or Betty. Unless they say so.
We had a new guy at work and he introduced himself "Hi, I'm Richrad and
I sure ain't no Dick"

Well you are wrong there. I know a Gina pronounced like Geena, but this
one is Gina with a long i.

In the Netherlands, parents sometimes give children "exotic" names
they don't know how to pronounce. They'll call their girl Priscilla
and pronounce the "c" as a "k".

A woman whose nephew's name was pronounced 'Eye-Ann', once corrected me
on the pronunciation of my son's name. The boy's parents were looking
for a name beginning with 'I', and found 'Ian' in a book of baby names...

A teaching colleague had a new pupil whose mother introduced him as
"Gooey", pronounced as in cheese sauce.

She asked how to spell the child's name and Mother replied "G-U-Y, of
course".
