No way, sorry! I found it like 5 years ago, I don't even know whether it still exists.

Ah, now that reminds me of a cafe/farm shop place that I used to stop at while traveling a few years ago. It's midway between Boston and Kings Lynn on the north (eastbound) side of the A17 if anyone from the U.K. is out that way..... [Linked Image]

The traditional British cafe has been open to Carry on style jokes over the years though.

Monty Python? Spam?

"Hello Mrs Cutout!"

"How about Lobster Thermidor a crevette with a mornay sauce served in a provencal manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle paté, brandy - and with a fried egg on top and spam?"

Vikings;"SPAM!SPAM!SPAM! Wonderful SPAM!"

"I love it!"

Gloria, they are still selling the horrid muck. I hated it as a kid. Ma, Pa, me and my late much loved sister Irene went down to Margate in 1949 for a vacation. Pa had been building Heathrow Airport and had got a lot of overtime. The boarding-house landlady served us Spam every day at every meal,[ food was strictly rationed then , and the crafty old szuka had gotten our ration books]. Eventually Pa was elected 'spokeman' for the guests, so he went and put his tie on, tackled her and said we must have something different.

Next meal it came in square slices instead of round ones! [Linked Image] We all laughed so much, we forgot all about the bloody ghastly Spam!

There is even a Spam fan club, ferkrissakes:
(Motto: "Slice it, Dice it!")

Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh!

Alan

Edited for link

I must admit, our translator, Galla Miklós did a really wonderful job by translating the series to us. Otherwise I'd never ever laugh bit on that series. Köszi, Miklós

I've only ever seen kippers in books, are they smoked fish?.

I love something called "kippered snacks" - essentially smoked sardines in a tin.

Fry-ups are the best. [Linked Image]
