She asks, "Is that you or the beer talking?"


He replies, "It's me............. talking to the beer."

"Bubbles and Squeak" . . .

Is that something people eat, or use in a bath tub?

A proper fireman wouldn't think about marching up 5th Ave on St. Patrick's Day without first having "Bangers and Mash". "Bubbles & Squeak" is also offered.
Bangers is sausage with Home fries(w/greenpeppers & onions) cooked on a griddle.
Bubbles & Squeak is an egg dish (primarily an omelet of some type).I think.

These dishes are available in every pub and firehouse in NYC on the 17th. Many pubs open 5 am for the start of carbing up for the march. Its one helluva a long day in NY.
Just to let you know- Savannah, Georgia holds the 2nd largest St Pats Day Parade in the states.
A few firehouse members go down there to march in their parade. Usually 300-400 total NYC members fly down a day or two before to march,many staying as guests in their firehouses.We reciprocate when they want to come here during the year. They been doing it over 25 years now.
Southern Lassies are just as nice as the NY girls.
Everything washed down with a pint of Guinness, or a Half and Half, half Guinness and half Harp.
Bennie, are we doing it right here ?

Thanks, Charlie!

Marmite . . .

Today I'm going to a store in Santa Monica that sells British food products that can't be found in U.S. super markets.
I know they sell Marmite. I will introduce Monica to Marmite Soldiers, she has already met my friend Jane by phone.
They both seem to have a laugh when they discuss me and my habits. No respect for the Yank.
Janey used to send me a jar of Marmite on occassion, but it's been awhile.

They used to stick a jar in the Red Cross food parcels for the prisoners of war in WWII. It's full of B-vitamins. The old joke over here is that you like it or hate it. I like it but I must admit I haven't had any for years. Perhaps I ought to get a jar.

I usually don't eat breakfast until I get to work, where we have a caterer.
However, today as I sip my first cup of coffee I'm having toast with Marmite spread across the top.
Getting my B-Vitamins first. Life is good.

It just occured to me that with an army of Marmite Soldiers and a bowl of menudo con pata a man could take over the world.
Good morning Frank, Bennie. Have a great day mates!

Morning Rick-guys. Had to look this up as I didn't know what the hell you guys were talking 'bout.

Marmite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Marmite (pronounced /ˈmɑrmaɪt/ MAR-myt) is the name given to two similar food spreads: the original British version, first produced in the United Kingdom and later South Africa, and a version produced in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing.

The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty and savoury. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Other similar products are the Australian Vegemite and Swiss Cenovis.

The distinctive product was originally British (1902), but a version with a different flavour[1] has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919, and this is the dominant version in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

The image on the front of the British jar shows a "marmite" (French: [maʁmit]), a French term for a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot.[2] The British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but since the 1920s has been sold in glass jars that approximate the shape of such pots.[3] A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.

Bubble and squeak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Bubble and squeak is a traditional English dish made with the shallow-fried leftover vegetables from a roast dinner. The chief ingredients are potato and cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. The cold chopped vegetables (and cold chopped meat if used) are fried in a pan together with mashed potatoes or crushed roast potatoes until the mixture is well-cooked and brown on the sides. It is often served with cold meat from the Sunday roast, and pickles.

The meat was traditionally added to the bubble and squeak itself, although nowadays it is more commonly made without meat. The earliest known recipe was by Maria Rundell in 1806.[1]

The name comes from the bubble and squeak sounds made as it cooks.[2] The name bubble and squeak is used throughout the United Kingdom, Australia and other Commonwealth countries. It may also be understood in parts of the United States.[3][4] In the UK, the dish may sometimes be referred to as bubble or bubble and scrape.[citation needed]

Bubble and squeak was a popular dish during World War II, as it was an easy way of using leftovers during a period when most foods were subject to rationing. In more recent times, pre-prepared frozen and tinned versions became available.

Yea Thats it ! Thanks Frank. Many of the firehouses will mix the veggies into to the scrambled eggs as a shortcut into their bellies. It still squeaks too.

I see that Marmite is a spread- but what exactly is a marmite "soldier" ? It sounds like a cookie made from baked marmite.Marmite might be good for diabetics-as Vitamin B helps promote blood circulation in the smaller places like toes & fingers.I would have to check first as to the sugar content though.
Frank ,tell Connie that her Menudo looks just fine and since its a acquired taste,her recipe and picture of Menudo has probably won over more converts than she knows.

Let me ask though- you can walk into a food store or butcher shop there and pick up a cows stomach and chickens feet over the counter pretty readily in Calif.? Or is it in local Mexican food specialty shops. Here on Long Island-I would think it would be in limited supply- NYC ,though, I think if I were looking would be my best bet-in some areas. Like Scottish-Haggus, not found in my local food stores.

Because of this thread-I learn new things everyday-and not just boxing.

A marmite soldier is a slice of bread spread with marmite & cut in strips simple as that, my mouth is watering now I may have to cut myself some right now, generally though buttered soldiers are for dipping into boiled eggs, that photo looks nothing like my bubble & squeak it's not burnt enough

Charlie,

The manudo (cow stomach) can readily be found here in my neighborhood, which now days is predominantly Hispanic. When I first bought my house (1967) here, the 'hood was 85% white, The whites started moving out as the chicano's (Mexican-Americans) moved in, than the chicano's started moving out as the Mexican National's moved in... , I stayed!! , anyway, Mexican markets "carniceria" started popping up all over the place and that's where Connie buys the manudo, don't know if the major "Anglo markets" market carry manudo.

The ingredients for menudo, tripe and nixtamal (the fresh hominy) as well as canned Mexican hominy can be found in just about any major market in Southern California, as well as the southwest and Texas.

For those that don't like the thought of eating a cow's stomach, give pozole a try. It's an almost identical soup, but instead of tripe it uses various cuts of pork, primarily pork shoulder. I love it. Top it with sliced radishes and some shredded cabbage. As with Menudo it can be eaten at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The Brits are somewhat famous for their roasted meats, especially the Standing Rib Roast or Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding. I've made it myself. Good stuff!

[Rick Farris]

Several of the rigging grips working on "The Amazing Spider Man" feature are Brits. Great grips and good guys, as well. John is from London, Phil is from Manchester. Both fought amateur, and both have remained in great shape. They move around good on their feet and have a stand up style with strong jabs. Good people make for a good film to work on.

As this now legendary thread started with Ernie Indian Red Lopez I though you might be interested in some articles that appeared in the British Boxing News just before the John H Stracey fight in London in 1974. Keep going guys, it's been an education, inside and outside the ropes.

If Ruben Olivares can eat one, so can I.

He's lucky he caught Ernie when he was long in the tooth. A young Indian Red would have brutalized Stracey.
