We need to get together on this.

As a country we sometimes seem to not speak the same language. This can lead to misunderstandings, accidents and worse- spoiled clothes.

A case in point. Where I come from a muffin is bread baked into a 'patty' as it were, between 4- 6" in diameter. O this many things can be served, and they're great for eggs and bacon.

Or chips.

Elsewhere in the county a muffin can be either a 'hand cake' or a bread patty about three inch diameter which is only suitable for serving preserves and as transport for butter.

This can lead to issues. In Kendal this morning I wandered into a cafe and asked for a brew and a bacon and egg muffin, expecting universality to kick in and to be presented with a -muffin- filled adequately with pig and egg. But no, it was a midget job, and when I bit into midget job, warm yolk burst and squirted down. Me new jumper and jeans. This wouldn't have happened had we spoke the same language.

I don't care if it's a muffin, breadcake, stottie or whatever but please- PLEASE- can we get our sh it together on this.

I've gotta walk round Kendal for the next four hours now with smeared egg down me top ffs.

/rant.

Another reason why I don't like eggs

This ain't about the eggs bro.

We all need to get together on THIS, and stop paying a tenner for bacon and egg in a ROLL! 😄

Not sure if this is the thread to post this in but... this morning I was in Kendal doing last minute Xmas shopping and to my horror I spotted someone with egg smothered around their mush, down their jumper and their jeans wandering amongst the crowds. Can you believe that?

Why we are letting riff-raff like this into our lovely little town is beyond me.

I blame Brexit.

Which establishment did you frequent?

Get yourself to Sue's burger van on the square in Milnthorpe. Proper food, proper breakfast. A local institution and less than 20 minutes from kendal, a lot less if you're a local!

 

[Time Waster]

Why weren't you wearing a tie? Smarten yourself up a bit then if you drip egg your tie gets it and you're still smart casual with an open shirt and tie in your pocket. Seriously we have standards up in Cumbria, well the nice areas do. 😆

And anyone who serves up a burger in a brioche bun should be hung, drawn and quartered

I remember ordering a sausage sarnie in Coventry and it came on two slices of bread. Apparently I should have asked for a "batch" if I wanted it on a bread cake (cob, roll etc)

Morrison's supermarket please take note. With all your centralisation of suppliers I know how this happens, but can you not at least use local names on the labels? I don't buy "baps". They look similar to "rolls" but I'm not taking the chance!!

I was so discombobulated I've forgotten

I like the diversity of a multitude of names for the same thing.

I remember ordering a filled bread product from a sandwich bar / cafe in Nottingham and being asked whether I wanted batch, barm or something or other, so i asked her to hold them up whilst i pointed.

after "all right me duck" I felt compelled to respond "I asked for ham, mustard and salad, chuck".

It all worked out fine.

The Union Jack down at the arse-end of Kendal is the place to go.

Some of the Cafes in the centre of town (which is not too far from the arse-end) have gone a bit 'London' with their pricing.

Could be worse though - Bowness prices are off the scale.

Sorry I can't do smileys - they appear to have gone on strike due to, presumably, some Chinese gubbins glitch in my phone.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
