I just stumbled upon this.

When we were in Greece, we stopped at a small street-side restaurant for a bite to eat. I had to snap a pic of the menu board. I'm thinking maybe the second item on the menu may have lost a little something in the translation. ;)

No whitebait is correct Hombre and I ordered some as an appetizer in London way back not knowing what it was. It's the fry of fish dredged in flower and deep fried.

[Thumper]

Well what'a ya' know? Learn sumpin' new every day. I'm not a big fish eater anyway, but the menu sure caught my eye.

What are those languages underneath?

And are there really British Restaurants?

Heck I don't know, but my first guess would be ..... ummm .... Greek maybe? ;)

Not sure about your second question, but yeah ... I've eaten in quite a few of them. I guess, technically, ANY restaurant in Britain would be a "British" restaurant. :) TBH, most English food doesn't do a whole lot for me. Outside of Fish & Chips, or some of their meat pies, I'm not a big fan.

[airbud7]

meat pies?...what kind of meat be in those meat pies?...

[Thumper]

The Britts normally refer to them as simply "pies", but for clarification here I added the word meat so you wouldn't think it was a dessert. They're similar to what we call "Pot Pies". Pick a meat, they probably have a pie with it.

[Big Muddy]

"Meat pies" sounds like something outta a porn flick....sorta like a "cream pie". ;)

[Thumper]

So, what would be your interpretation of a "pot pie"? :)

And for you soccer/Men in Blazers fans, "The pie does not lie!"

Here ya' go Airbud.

Smoking two big honking doobies, at the same time.

I love pot pies, but I'm afraid I'd have to draw the line at kidney pie. Brits seem to like their innards. In fact, most places I've travelled to eats a lot of disgusting shit.

Viva la Chittlin's !!!!! ;)

[BarryBobPosthole]

No chittlins for this kid. And no menudo.

[Thumper]

Yep, they love their "steak & kidney" pies! Had 'em, not my favorite.

[Thumper]

I do like a GOOD menudo, but what I like is hard to find. There was a place close to where I lived in LA that made some killer menudo, but I seriously doubt the place still exists. I stopped at a place in Roswell, New Mexico once that supposedly had excellent menudo. When I walked in, the place was packed (with Hispanics) and I figured it must be good. I couldn't eat it. Bummer, I was excited for a while there. :(

[Thumper]

BTW, I have a funny "Thump story" regarding chitlins. No time to post it right now.

[BarryBobPosthole]

We have a really good family owned Mexican place in town that has menudo every Friday. I think every mexican person around here show up at El Fogon on Fridays.
But I still don't like it.

Sweet baby Jesus! I've tried tripe in some Vietnamese Pho (noodle soup), but I assumed it was mostly there for flavor. I just haven't been hungry enough to be eating stomach or intestines. So, you can keep the menudo, haggis, chittlin's and anything like them to yourselves.

[Thumper]

Oh man! There's nothing better than a good bowl of Pho! We have our favorite place in Tampa and one in Orlando, but don't have a really good one close to the house. Lynn has the tripe at times, NOT one of my favorites.

I think drawing the line at eating guts is a pert near perfect place to draw aforementioned line.

....says the guy who loves to eat live oysters whole.

[LJ3]

You are confusing me with someone else, kind sir. That shit is nastee! I can eat 'em steamed or fried.

[Thumper]

Anybody who eats raw oysters would suck the snot out'ta a pig's snout! 😝

[Chicken Dinner]

You effers need to buy a fresher and better quality oyster. Man, I had some down in Loosiana that were so good it made me sad to stop chewing and swallow them.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I love raw oysters. I was just busting on LJ cause I could.
