Having read List of English dishes topic, It got me wondering just how Patriotic are you...
Yorkshire Pudding, isnt a pudding...
Nor is Shepheards pie a Pie!
A Cornish Pasty is actually a Cornish Pastie
Black Pudding would make you vomit if you put Carnation milk on it!
Babysham isnt a drink...
How many errors can you make about your "heritage"?

Yorkshire Pudding isn't a pudding, etc.
a Cornish Pasty is actually an Oggie to be even more precise.
Welsh rabbit is neither Welsh nor made from rabbits (or rarebits).

I have to correct myself, it is infact a cornish pasty.. my bad..I still say that a shepheards pie isnt a Pie.. as in Desert or "Afters" type pie!
According to this BBC report it's actually a Devonshire Pasty seeing as this is where they were supposedly invented!!!
...and a spit roast isn't actually... um never mind I'll get me coat :-)
A Hot dog is an American creation too...

Not true! Cave dwellers were eating them in Cornwall 10,000 years ago according to that article. Bit hard to imagine that while the primitives in France where festooning the walls of their caves with bison and dear, in Cornwall they were slapping on images of a Ginsters Original Cornish. (Or maybe it wasn't actually a Bison in Lascaux, but a croissant.)
Hey Grinner,
unfortunately you are showing your Cheshire background here mate!
One dictionary definition(Chambers Encyclopedic) of Pudding is,
Any of several sweet or savoury foods usually made with flour and eggs and cooked by steaming, boiling or baking.
And if you insist on the sweet definition, then it is not uncommon back home (my home of course) to have leftover Yorkshires with Jam or Treacle.
Any in my part of God's own, we have Yorkshires as a starter, alone, except the best onion gravy you can make!
"Black" Pudding by the way, requires a separate definition in the book!
Although I do agree with some of your observations however.
Cheers
The Pudding himself!
P.S. Thanks mate, I am now salavating so much I cannot concentrate on finding work!

I thought the original Cornish Pasty was a tin miner's lunch with meat and veg at one end and apple filling at the other for dessert. The reason for the thick crust was that the miners would eat it with dirty hands and could throw the last bit of crust away. Or is this just something the Cornish just made up to tell the tourists.
