she's corned beef hinnie
She had come to Nana's hoose for tea on Sunday. Aunty Jessie never took her hat off. I was about eight years old at the time and I was trying to talk to her, but she wasn't listening, so I talked more, which produced no results. My nana motions to her ear and tells me "she canna hear pet." Then aunt jessie screams at the top of her lungs, "aye hinnie, am corned beef." I nearly hit the other side of the room with the volume. I ask"corned beef?" "aya" nana says, "deef".
Corned Beef Deef
Listen to a bit Geordie
History of Corned Beef
A typical Sunday Tea at Nanas would be
sandwhiches (whatever meat was left over from Sunday dinner)
check out the British Sandwhich Association for some fabu sarni ideas
Cheese on Toast
scratch cake of some kind
maybe pie (either gooseberry or rhubarb)
Or
Fruit cocktail with evaporated milk
Or
Sasparilla float
AND
LOTS OF CUPS OF TEA

Have a 2009 filled with dreams come true my friend!!! <3
* still chuckling *
I remember watching some English movies that had sub titles!
Too interesting!
And loved the culinary lesson and reicipes!
thanks for shar'in pat of ye life wit us!
do i have the ak-zent royt?
doubt it, hennie. probably more like the MAINE twang... :)
Love when words are toppled to and fro all wonkey like!
FABULOUS darling!
The few weeks I spent in London I grew to love the sandwiches from Sainsbury's with chips! There's a place in NYC that supposedly does the British sandwich...expensive & not the thing.
:-)
Cor Sean, that sounds delish. I used to do something on Saturday nights called the hodge podge dinner for the kids and we would all watch a movie. Kinds of a similar mix of nosh.
Virgil, how you liking the snow today, woo hoo!
Lovely to see you Maria, hope your plays are going well.
Cat in the Box, it is always fun to play with words and phrases especially on our husbands hee!hee!
colette, I was ashamed to admit I needed to read the subtitles for a Glaswegian movie, hell it was so thick the accent. And I am used to hearing Glaswegian from my Scottish born neighbour.
Lynda, yer accent is err, hum, questionable but hennie sounds better for an American. First thing my friend here said is what is a hynny and I said well it ain't a bum.
Hia gesa, aye, a lot of the Geordie dialect is a mix of lowland scots, norwegian and anglo saxon, so I can see why.
Last time I went to England madsilence I was just amazed at how many variations of sandwhiches at the counter in Marks & Spensers. Not sure why they should be so expensive in New York.
Glad you like the sketchbook Lyn. The first thing I did when I got my first pay check was go and buy a can of evaporated milk and drank the whole can. UG! I didn't touch the stuff for years, but yes, I love it on pies, or canned fruit.
Sometimes I canna understand half my family undaunted lol!
I really miss the chippies, but I can get pickled onions over here in ohio from the brit shop. Oh and gooseberry crumble with custard, now you brought back a lovely memory.
thanks for dropping by everyone.
