You Brits still haven't mastered making a right decent meal.  ;D J/K You know that's the word on the street though.  You mean because we don't supersize it? |

You mean because we don't supersize it? As an American, I gotta say touche, Adey! ;D However I am not a big fan of English food. When I went to London on holiday in 1998, just for a week, I lost nearly a stone!  Aren't you supposed to GAIN weight on holiday?  |

In days gone by, English drinking water apparently contained frogspawn. Hence the saying, " Frog in my throat " . Also, Victorian breadmaking was sometimes hit and miss. The bottom of the loaf would often be sooty and burned, whilst the top half was golden and perfect. Hence the saying, " The Upper Crust " . You Brits still haven't mastered making a right decent meal. ;D J/K You know that's the word on the street though. I love British food, I don't know what the problem is. Anyway while this seemed to stall on the food topic, I'd like to ask for the origin of: Above the salt  Any takers? If you answer, weren't you supposed to post the next? |

I love British food, I don't know what the problem is. Yeah, ''Spotted Dick'' and "Blood-pudding'' sounds yummy.  I don't know without research (which I will do) in the meantime, yes the correct answer warrants the next question. |

Hey, did anyone ever figure out "above the salt?" I have an answer if you're stumped... and a whole lot more where that came from. ;D
