Civet Burger? Sounds tempting. Can I get fries with that?

Raoul, there is hope. Get down to your local market and buy some pig stomach, which will serve the same purpose, and is freely available. The Chinese, like the Scots, are a hardy folk who've come to like the stuff they were originally forced to eat out of necessity. Witness chicken feet, for eg. I saw dog's innards selling in a Longsheng market. But they'll throw away the parsons nose from a roast chicken!

You mean boiled. Haggis is boiled, not baked.
And it tastes like porridge with liver in it.
Raoul, feed the mess to the cat.
Yeah, I horrify my wife when I eat parson's nose. They have some funny ideas, yes? I tell my students in Oz when they are trying the chickens feet that of course they are cleaned and sterilized. That is where the black sauce comes from.

My oh my! Look at those eyes. Reminds me of that crazy vampire from Blade 1 Well, yeah, if you lay those eyes of women, men WILL want to kill ya I assure you, I'm not a crazy vampire. I wish I was, well, maybe not the crazy part, 'cause I'm crazy already! ;D No men have tried to kill me, so far. Let's hope China doesn't change that! Edit: You have to show me your picture now, in fairness and all! Re: British Food English Breakfast is the best thing ever! It's so damn tasty. Sausage, Egg, Bacon, Black Pudding, Liver Sausage and fried Tomato's with Baked Beans poured all over it. Steak & Kidney pie is also very nice. A company called Fray Bentos do them very well. I have recently developed a taste for their Chicken Curry pie, though. Yum, I may go buy one, now.

Chicken Curry I can go for. That other stuff I just can't...oh, no... uh, excuse me..... I think that kidney consumption would end overnight if only people would substitute the words "urine filter" for "kidney".

But you can get just "Steak" pies, which are just as lovely, without all the fiddling around

British food institutions such as toad in the hole and faggots [hugely popular in GB], rule. I can kind of recall rolling out of the local with 6 pints of Red Barrel in me, down to the Chippie, pick up a steaming mess of cod and chips, back home to find it had turned into a congealed mess........glory days. My best mate was Irish: a dangerous thing to be in London then, but your average Pom didn't socialise with Aussies. Raoul, you shoul see your doctor with that spotted dick.

Oh for cod and chips. Or haddock would do as well. I touch down in Blighty tomorrow. I'm apparently being whisked off to a delightful fish and chip place somewhere between Manchester and home Jetlag can wait. Oberton, you'll be happy to know that you can get pretty much everything you need for the perfect Full English down your local metro, including some Earl Gray to wash it down. Perfect saturday morning hangover cure.

So basically that's all that will kill you. Oh, and cheap chinese cigarettes obviously.

Those aren't spots, Gone, those are, uh, "pleasure ridges". But I'm glad to hear you enjoy Pommy faggots. I'm sure they enjoy you too.
