Proper banana pudding

[GLCQuantum]

We Brits only use proper to emphasize a statement. You can get fish and chips all over the plaice ( ) but a 'proper fish and chips' - forget it. Same goes for curry...

You can get a proper curry in England.
You can get a proper fish and chips in England.
You can get a proper pie in England.
You can get a proper roast in England.
You get proper puddings in England.
We know how to have a proper knees up in England.

... and so on and so on.

Hope this helps...

Brings a tear to me eye every time.

The use of the word by Brits of it being a PROPER something is the irritant, it might be proper to you but shite to others , proper is a pompous word

This Yank has slowly learned about Brits and their culture in the last 3 1/2 years. Seems to me Brits use 'proper' two ways in the context you describe:
- The way a specific thing is in Britain ,
- The only way a specific thing should be done, and that's how we do it in Britain.
I find the latter to be an irritant only when one won't shut up about it. But never seen it as pompous, just ethnocentric.

Good summary Homer, the only bit you missed is that Foodie would probably be described as a "proper" nobhead.

I think where 'Foodie' fell down was his handle. As it stands, all he has offered on those side of things is an undercooked pizza - made by himself.

When someone calls himself 'Foodie' you expect him to have some, even if just a little, knowledge of food.

BaaBaa, you lost the American Revolution, we saved your ass from the Germans. Just be proper and say Thank-You.
GLC, anytime you would like to match cooking skills it would be fun to set up a competition. If not bugger off. I would think your all type and no bite.

Oh FFS, seriously....... you are without a doubt a "proper" sad tw@t. For the love of God mods - lock the thread.

Ouch.....

Actually,I thought the above a very good response, if I may say so - are you sure you're not a closet Brit?

This thread gets 10/10 for silliness!

I have to disagree with your suggestion there...

This has to be thread of the year so far...

... as I've gotta agree with the above.

Who would have thought that so many topics were able to arise from a friendly discussion on 'Banana Pudding'. The icing on this thread for me though was how a 'banana pudding' ended up being...

BaaBaa, you lost the American Revolution, we saved your ass from the Germans.

You gotta love it!

we saved your ass from the Germans.

And the letter 'e'

Yep on the assumption that the war reference was a deliberate wind-up. HHFarang (sadly missed) would say Foodie was learning fast!

Yup I can see that happening...

[pharvey]

GLCQ and others... Obviously I was hasty in my response, my apologies.

I must have been mildly confused the way that this thread went from some little kid requesting whether Banana Pudding was available in Hua Hin, through to arguments over custard, curries, racism, and the wonderful Americans saving our desperate "Brit @rses" in WWII (despite their late arrival)....... could be a Hollywood movie (or was that where the saving of @rses shite came from)?

Anywho, my "proper" Brit apologies (with lard @rse and ad teeth to boot) for trying to dismantle the thread....... it is of course entertaining!!

BaaBaa, First of all the only people who care about how it is done in Britain are the British. Keep it to yourself and your fellow countrymen the rest of the world just doesnt care .

Being called a nobhead from a long line of Pikers is water off a ducks back it makes me smile Cheers Mate

Its 'pikey', otherwise an interesting riposte demonstrating an understanding of the heritage of our scouse brethren. BaaBaa might not like it though!
