Along_the_Wire Grits. Isn’t that what they feed humanoids in sci-fi movies? You can tell this shit started off in the end of a bucket and some starving bastard called Tom happened upon them one day in 1855, the rest is history.

    I thought ‘scraps’ only got fed to people in the North?

    Clearly not.

    @zackster thoughts, please, on the Butter Pie, favoured by the fine citizens of Preston, England (has significant Irish population which may explain the spuds…)

    The filling is just potatoes and butter (and sometimes chopped onions)

      That looks marvellous tbf.

      I was part right about the spuds. It seems the Irish Catholics wanted a meat-free pie they could eat on Fridays, and the local bakers obliged.

      Butter was added after a while, because just potatoes and onions was ‘too dry’.

      -si- Is that real, dave?

      100% though I never cottoned on to it being because of the Papists.

        zackster I think you should make some of these recipes Zackster. Start a TikTok about it - you and your bird making, eating and then critiquing this stuff. It’s the kind of thing that gets a million views.

          thats a great idea! Found a recipe for scrumps and crupbles that sounds mouth watering…

          1. Batter dip 2 fresh pieces of cod
          2. Deep Fry
          3. Drop on floor (both pieces)
          4. Sweep up all the shit that fell off
          5. Serve
          6. Have Grant compare it to random South Carolina side dishes.

          The absolute fury from British viewers is what would make it hilarious/unmissable. You’d have James Corden special guest within weeks.

            The name of the show?

            Fishes and chipses.

            Seriously, the American equivalent of that bag of fried matter would be someone going into a diner and ordering a sack of all the food scraped off of other peoples plates throughout the day.
