My preference is brown sauce on brown bread. The brown/red sauce divide seems to pretty much mirror the traditional UK north/south divide around the Watford gap. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

When I was a child I thought it meant there was a big hole in Watford, but as a teenager I found out that it wasn't anywhere near Watford and came to the conclusion that it was a metaphorical expression to describe the divide or gulf between the north and the south. Finally as an adult I discovered, while driving to London one day, that there truely was a place called "Watford Gap" --Colin Mackay--

What exactly is a bacon buttie(y):confused: I don’t think we have those in the US. Funny thing though, I’m not sure exactly what they are but I’m sitting here drooling and my stomach is crying for bacon butties as I read everybody’s posts...I had a cup of oatmeal for breakfast.:|
Crisp rashers of bacon between two buttered slices of bread. Buttie is a general term for sandwich where the bread is buttered. Chip butties and fish finger butties are particular childhood favourites. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd

I am going on a serious drinking session tonight and I need a cast iron guarantee that there will be suausage and bacon butties in the world tomorrow morning. '--8<------------------------ Ex Datis: Duncan Jones Merrion Computing Ltd
Of course, with all this talk of bacon butties, I now want a proper fry up, consisting of the following: * Bacon * Sausage * Fried or Scrambled eggs * Baked Beans * Mushrooms * Fried Tomatoes * Hash Browns * Fried Bread and/or Buttered Toast * Tomato Ketchup * Mug of English Breakfast Tea and most importantly: * Black Pudding Yum :-D -- Ian 'Heart Attack Statistic' Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

If there is one thing I miss from England, it’s those huge greasy pork sausages! :) Yummie! They just don’t seem to have anything like that here is the US. :mad:
