Foods that should be called something else.

Not when they are unfertilised as they usually are.

Dunno the free range ones I buy from a local farm are laid by hens that seem to be "well looked after" by their big old Cockerel and he certainly looks very happy if a bit tired. Also get some lovely chickens at Christmas although not so many eggs to buy in August!

Honey, it tastes funny.
It should be renamed "regurgitated bee vomit", because that's what it is.
Anyone want some regurgitated bee vomit on their porridge?

must admit to the occasional[and quite small]dollop of honey from time to time.However tonight I triedManuka honey[NPA rating 10-whatever that means] and that was just awful.Gritty,nasty colour and an almost salty tang.Mind you,i have little in the way of a sweet tooth,fruit are my main dislike.Unless they re citrus fruits or berries as such,Im not eating them!

Fruit crumble should be renamed "throat rasp". Rationing's over folks, we can go back to proper pies now.

Pastry is cheaper than crumble topping - same ingredients in the same proportions but less or none of the added sugar. Pastry has water added.

Alas, your austerity theory crumbles.

Pies are great though, of course.

It wasn't the cost of the ingredients, but the shortage of sugar together with the ability to make crumble with such things as potato flour, and even acorn flour in some places, that lead to crumbles becoming popular more common during the war.
So my theory stands as solid as an over-baked rhubarb crumble.

But that was then.....

Current austerity measures in the UK don't extend to sugar rationing and flour substitution.

We had sandwiches first, the yanks can rename theirs!

Yes, but it's like football, something we may have invented, but other countries taken, have vastly improved, and are now way better.

Quite right - and they don't contain any crab meat. They're made of surimi, apparently, which is paste of ground-up fishy stuff that starts out white and mostly flavourless.

now i like em even less .......if thats possible
