underground railway feasibility study

You've not quite got the hang of this internet thing, yet, have you?
There's a lot of northerners on ukrm, who with one exception (your
goodself) are happy to let the southerners express their envy of the
northern way of life by slagging it off. Why not just back and enjoy
it? Here, have a bacon stotty and relax.

 

A *what*?

 

While not quibbling with your choice of target, you really, really need
to lurk a bit more before posting.

With bacon, sounds good. With pease pudding, sounds unutterably foul.
The sort of thing the Jocks would eat, were it deep-fried.

 

It's spreading, you know. Chippers all over Ireland are offering
deep-fried Mars Bars and Curly Wurlys.

If you're ever in Newcastle, go up Westgate Road (where all the bike
shops are) and drop in to the Egyptian Cafe. If you're hungry, order
breakfast in a stottie, which arrives in a half-stot, (resembling a
bread dustbin lid cut in half) filled with several sausages, several
rashers of bacon, hash browns, a couple of eggs, beans and black
pudding. A fiver with a mug of tea.

Reataurants at Bray? GFY.

 

"The heavy texture of the bread [...] makes it difficult for many people
to eat one whole in one sitting."

Yeah, right.

*burp*

 

Well, exactly. I took Elly in there on the morning of The Hangover
From Hell and talked her into eating. It was a different Burd that
walked out following a half-stot filled with fried tomatoes, onions,
mushrooms and bacon. She was standing upright and didn't look like a
reject from a Paddy's Day face-painting compo, for a start.

 

The Older Gentleman banged the rocks together and they said :

Stotty. A really good baked bap shaped thing, 10" diameter and 2.5"
high. (varies)

Chopped into half or quarter and then filled with whatever sarnie
filling one desires.

*Mexico*!

Oh FFS - and you edit a food magazine! Stottie cake - a form of large
bread bap.

When I worked up in Newcastle for a company that ran a London -
Newcastle coach service we used to get orders from the Londoners (who
worked for LT) to put a bulk order of stottie cakes on the coach and
they'd collect them at the other end.

They were also sold (filled) as refreshments on the coach - very popular
with the passengers.

SD banged the rocks together and they said :

Oh god, yes.

Half a baguette, filled with salad, BBQ sauce, huge burger chopped in
half (to fill it lengthways), two eggs, and then covered with a mound
of chips that almost made it disappear.

Enough for two, or three, or four.
