But only from a restaurant; I'd never attempt to cook it myself.<br /><br />And I agree with the blood pudding & tripe -- for breakie, nevertheless. Ew.<br /><br />I also miss my donar kabob pizza from the local chip shop. It probably had 2000 calories per slice but it was divine.

Apparently much tastier with salt and vinegar!!!<br /><br />We can thank the Scottish for such delicacies as deep friend Mars Bars and haggis - a sheeps heart, liver and lungs mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices.<br /><br /> Ribena Tina @ ribenamusingshttp://ribenamusings.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062424955786427474.post-45156796324456430022013-03-23T18:36:19.874-04:002013-03-23T18:36:19.874-04:00Here in Jersey we have a calzone place called Stuf...Here in Jersey we have a calzone place called Stuff Yer Face.

Call me kooky, but I suspect the "lube" is beer. I really, really, REALLY hope it's not petroleum jelly which will help you pack your steak into... Oh, I hope it's beer.<br />Anyway, I guess since the Amish hogged the shoo-fly pie and pig blintzes, the Quakers felt gypped and, so, co-opted steak.<br />Which I hope you EAT with a mug of beer.Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062424955786427474.post-25753210588956747972013-03-20T13:17:09.571-04:002013-03-20T13:17:09.571-04:00Have you tried Indian?

Seriously. WTF? "Lube" should not be associated with dining in any way, shape or form. I've also never eaten at IHOP. I think my American citizenship should probably be revoked.
