First, let us welcome back the Food News Journal, which everyday publishes links to interesting food items. They’ve been on hiatus and it’s great to see them again. And it’s thanks to them that we came across this fun news item from the Miami New Times blog: 10 Adorable British Foodisms We Should All Adopt.
They give longer descriptions of these terms on line – feel free to check them out – but for the educational sake of our U.S. readers, and the amusement of our British readers, here are the expressions:
- Jacket potatoes: Baked potatoes
- Bangers: Sausages
- Tipple: This term refers to a civilized drink, aka cocktail
- Scrummy: A mash-up of scrumptious and yummy
- Chips: Not potato chips, but French fries
- Bubble and squeak: A mixture of mash (mashed potatoes), cabbage and other various veggies
- Toasty: Panini (We love this one – it sounds so comfy)
- Treacle: Molasses (Thanks to Harry Potter, we assume everyone now knows this one)
- Fairycakes: Cupcakes
- Fish Fingers: Fish sticks (Cue the pictoral image of fish with hands)
And now with Harry Potter on our mind, we can’t resist referring to a Treacle Tart recipe from our indexed blog, Raspberri Cupcakes, (photo attached) . Enjoy!
