:) Peanut butter, the smell makes me retch and I've smelt all kind of stuff, not saying as a food thread but you can guess.

Marmite is not marmite to me, so your advertising is wrong, people, just a bit hmm, not meh as never use that word.

As to WarmL, will try his Eggs Benedict on crumpets.

Random tale. One of my mates called Ben, always assumed a Benjamin, only when Pope Benedict err poped up found out he was a Benedict. :?

Robert, let's put it like this, my wife is from Manchester and to her the idea of steak and gravy is vile and should be made illegal, all her Manc family feel the same, yet these are the same people, along with most Lancastrians that eat weird shite like Butter Pies!

I bet Benedict will become quite the popular name in the coming years after Bumperstamp Cabbagepatch's runaway success with Sherlock and appearing in every single dogshit superhero movie ever.

Wouldn't normally have steak and gravy, but have other meats with mash and peas and gravy so why not. Never had chips and gravy till moved to Nottm, bewtiful, Mike.

Though if any of you northerners above and Landlord darn sarf, like steak, when in that London going to Flat Iron Steakhouse: https://flatironsteak.co.uk/

Mostly go to the Shoreditch one as near Liverpool St. No booking, if no table free will take your number so can wander off and text you when table free. Bewtiful steaks, though medium rare may not be for some, other special meats cooked over a fire and proper chips cooked in dripping.* Delicious and cheap for that London:

*Love when going back to mamas, she still has an old chip pan and cooks then in lard. Proper, beautiful chips and a couple of fried eggs for her favourite son. :)

Another one that I have seen eye's rolled at is a gammon steak with gravy, I wouldn't say that's a Crewe thing more a me thing, most people I have mentioned this combo to think it's vile.

Upper class eating institutions tend to do this. It's probably because it looks more quirky and traditional, I really don't know.
