The clue is in the thread title.

The place with the giant Yorkshire puddings? I would definitely be up for going there again.

How come Yorkshire Puddings aren't just called Puddings when in Yorkshire?

Oh man I would LOVE to have one of those puddings again!

 

 

 

(and the same company, of course)

Possibly for the same reason that the French Horn isn't called "The Horn" when in France?

Yes it fucking is.

It is, of course, called the Cor Anglais. On that basis, in God's own county it should probably be known as the 'Everywhere Else Pudding' or perhaps even the (perish the thought) 'Lancastrian Pudding'.

it is notable that a similar phenomenon of casting responsibility across the Channel occurs with the condom: in England it is known as the French Letter and in France as the Capeau Anglais. Why this should be case, and what they have in common is an interesting point of debate.

Perhaps it's because they're both abominations for which both countries wish to blame their traditional enemies. The only common feature that occurs to me is that I can fit neither on my knob.

Save me some ketchup! :)

I thought the cor anglais was a different instrument.

It is. The cor anglais is like an oboe, while the french horn is like a tuba with an inferiority complex.

And the condom?

Glad of that, I am. Actually, come to think of it, I really really knew that already as I was in a band with an oboe player who also played cor anglais and it was nothing like a French horn. It was like an oboe but quackier.

Cor Pregnatius.

The Cor Anglais is part of the Oboe family, couldn't really be further from the French Horn!

Even an artfag player of the pink oboe should know that.

Awesome, I've just added Voltane after he said he's coming up with Serg which makes 10 definates and 4 maybes. Woo!

I count 11 yes's, and you forgot that some people are +1 too. I believe you should let Kenny handle this, that way we'd probably make it a 2015 meat *dies*
