American bacon is what you’d call streaky bacon. Your bacon would (I think) be called “back bacon” over here, but to be honest, you can’t really find it anywhere. (Which is a shame, because it’s good! I ate my fair share of bacon butties when we visited England.)
I didn’t know about suspenders, but I do now!
We’re doing ok. Scout sleeps a lot… right up until about 1 am, when she apparently wants to be awake and angry for several hours.
I’ve always been interested in this sort of thing, too. (Maybe y’all remember the Dialect Quiz from the Lounge a while back?
) I’d never heard of a meat raffle or pull-tabs before we moved to Minnesota (both things that usually take place in a bar, coincidentally).
Very interesting Barrett, Here we have various kinds, but mainly 'streaky', 'middle', and 'back bacon'. My favourite is smoked back bacon, but it's all good if it's cooked properly (growing up, my mother was a TERRIBLE cook)
I know some will recoil in horror, but I actually lost my taste for bacon when I got into my 40's
Your brother probably thought it'd be more fun not to tell you!
I was running a bar at the Glastonbury Festival one time, and these three drunken guys came over to get some drinks. I was handing them over, and I said to one of them, "You might want to tell your mate, he's got a baked bean stuck on the side of his face." The bloke roared with laughter, and said, "I know, it's been there all day!!"
Hope Scout settles down buddy
I did think about posting a link to the Dialect Quiz!
It's excellent!
We have both meat raffles and pull-tabs here too!
Oh, I checked out the muffins in the supermarket, they're now 'Toasting Muffins'!
Now I have to know... What's wrong with suspender?
I don't wear them, never have, but my curiosity is getting the better of me.
I have nothing against braces, wear them sometimes, not inclined to wear
suspenders!
Edit - There was a reason for me wearing those to my pal's wedding reception. The darn tailor cut my waistcoat (vest) 2" too short, and as I only got it 2 days before the wedding, my solution was to buy trousers (pants) too large for me, and wear 'braces', so the trousers rose up!
