Tomorrow, I'm doing a Geordie speciality, as that's the part of the world I grew up in. I've got a ham to cook. It will be boiled with onion, celery, carrot, bayleaf, thyme, pepper. Once done, the skin is removed from the ham and then the joint is smothered in a mix of honey & mustard and roasted off in the oven. The stock from the initial cooking is used to form the basis of a delicious soup and also to form the basis of pease pudding, where it is mixed with yellow slpit peas, garlic, bay and butter and left to cook slowly in the bottom of the oven. The split peas absorb the stock & butter to form a *delicious* spread that is *magnificent* with ham... A true Geordie dish: ham & pease pudding... YUM. That sounds fabulous! I can tell I'm getting hungry. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Faggots in the food sense are made from offal minced up, lumped together with herbs and served with gravy. Ummm.... By "offal" I presume you mean the less popular internal organs of a meat animal, not what we USAians mean by the term? ;-) (FWIW, "faggote" is French for a clarinet.) |

I've been confused about this term for years, because I never realized that the word had more than one meaning depending on the country. I've always thought it meant feces, which I'm sure is not what Helen was referring to. :-O -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
