right. this might be a bit silly, and in the spriti of weeman, but i need a good recipe for mash. i've recently been given bangers (i don't know why, but somebody assumed i'd like them), but i don't know how to make the mash. (doh!) i've done a few websearches, but who knows if they're any good. (what the hell is swede?) anyhow, this is a wasted post.

and here's the best page i've found so far. yo crazy brits and your sausages. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/jsausage/sausappr.htm

[Freddo]

Really you need mash the potatoes after boiling, add a bit of salt and pepper and then a bit of milk and butter.

[kendra k]

so it's just slightly fancy mashed potatoes then? schade. i just bought paprika today- i feel like an adult. thanks for the help, i'll let you know how dinner turns out....

clone1- looks gross
me- well, it's british
clone2- why are you cooking it?
me- i've the suasages, i need to eat them.
clone2- she said sausage...

[Jonny Hoare]

[kendra k]

Kendra what other British foods are you going to try?

[kendra k]

yorkshire puddings are fab. we have them everytime my father makes a roast.

as for other british foods to try. i don't know. i've a can of heinz baked beans (with tomato sauce) somebody bought for me. i'm thinking beans on toast. i also was given a bottle of hp brown sauce (what the hell is dad's sauce?), but i've no idea what do with it.

any other suggestions for british cuisine?

[Lawrie]

treat brown sauce and daddys like tomato sauce..same type of thing.......beans on toast is nice with tobasco added......and with sauasges beans are a treat

[Jonny Hoare]

Brown sauce and bacon sandwiches- the mac daddy of morning snacks

[Jonny Hoare]

[Morals]

Toad in the hole with baked beans rules!

As for other things Kendra can try, do Pot Noodles count as 'cuisine'?

[Morals]

what the hell is swede?

According to BBCi:

Root vegetables traditionally form the staple of our winter crops. They feature in everything from the Sunday roast to soups and stews.

They are the hearty warming vegetables that we associate with evenings in, sitting by a warm fire, while the rain pours down outside. But root vegetables are also stuffed with vitamins and minerals and can help you to shake off those winter blues.

The swede is a comparative newcomer to our table. It was developed in Bohemia, possibly in the 17th century, though there are no written records of its development. Swedes can be purple, white or yellow in colour with white or yellow flesh. It is a common winter vegetable and is usually used in mash, or in stews and casseroles.

[Jonny Hoare]

That's a turnip for the books

[Morals]

That's poor. Very very poor.
