    Now then, would that be red, green, white, spring, savoy, pointed or Chinese cabbages? :rotfl:

    :rotfl:

    And ... does it come with a free monitor replacement? :o

    Now everyone knows that tea-cakes are just huge big barm cakes and you can get them in white, brown or currant flavours ;)

    Just don't try asking for a muffin in Lancs though if you want a cake :rotfl:

    Muffins to me (a Londoner) are what you cut and toast and butter.

    Crumpets are those doughy things with holes in. My husband (from the North) calls them pikelets.

    I call bread rolls just that but he calls them baps fadgies or stodgies!

    We had roasted swede yesterday and it was lovely.

    I was brought up to call swede norky :confused:

    I don't know if that's a North East word, or one of my Dad's daft words!
    Here I go again on my own....

    A quick google tells me that mangel wurzels are indeed fodder beet, which is the one I know of being fed to cattle, but I'd never heard them called that before!

    As an aside, I did used to know a very eccentric old gentleman called Mangel Wurzle though, who actually married his dog :rotfl:

    That would be green cabbage!!

    Think I'll end up doing the usual fried cabbage and bacon :)
