15/17, never heard of rumbledethumps or singing hinnies!

No me neither
Pretty sure I remember 'rumbledethumps'
& ...
'Angels on Horseback??
It's 'Pigs in Blankets' where I come from

Wow I never thought about that. I guess they would have to go with the twin that was born first.

The Monegasque RF (Monaco) has twins, one boy, one girl and the boy is the heir.

I believe he was second born (would have to check) but he is a boy. If there are two boys, the first born is heir and the second the heir presumptive.

Girls don't count. lol Well, sons are preferred over daughters when it comes to an heir. Even in Britain, even in 2019.

While it had been widely reported Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “nesting” at their newly renovated property of Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, RadarOnline.com can reveal the pair is actually at their old home in Kensington Palace, where Prince William lives with wife Kate, and where Harry’s mom, the late Princess Diana, lived until she left the royal family.

I take it someone has finally solved the problem of how to be in two places at once???

It sells more papers this way. boring if they're all in one place, eh?

I had a friend from England, and wanted to make him a "real" English supper...I looked at a British cookbook, and kept thinking, "No, that sounds awful, no, no"...finally went with Prime Rib, potatoes and trifle for dessert. He was so happy. He hates Tex Mex food, and thinks everything here is too spicy.

Aw that’s very sweet.

I worked in an English pub states side NJ many moons ago. —Just love English food.

One time a friend who is a fabulous cook and I attempted the Beef Wellington. It turned out pretty good... delicious.

Whenever I see it on a menu I’ll order it.

Many unsuccessful attempts at Yorkshire Pudding but a school chum’s mom made it. Ohhhh yum.

Nope, not in a million years do I wanna see this set in front of me

So, I got 13/17 on the quiz...
Things like rumbledethumps and singing hinnies I picked because they were the wackiest titles, but I was clueless.

BDE, thanks for all the fun quizzes! Love them!

We don't eat that! I've never seen it, it looks grim. I googled and apparently it's a traditional Christmas dish in Cornwall.

Anyone tried it?

 

[Bravo]

Times like this ^ I am so very grateful to have a severe allergy to any and all seafood

Oooo_o
You got me there!

I need to look at the food picture every time I start to eat. It will kill my appetite. Yikes, how can anyone eat that.

 

[Bravo]

I don't want to eat anything that looks at me.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

I highly doubt it

I don't want y'all thinking we sit around eating pies with fish heads sticking out of them. Bleurrgh!!

 

[Bravo]

I'll try to fit in an out of town trip. That's when exciting things happen. Things such as verdicts I have been waiting on etc. I was downtown Toronto early and well into the eve last Wed. nothing, nada..........

 

[Herat]

I get to be the curmudgeon and say I’m just over Markle .

When I heard she was going to deliver at home as an older primip, possibly in a tub, I just mentally rolled my eyes.

Those tub births are known medically as Poop Soup.

I think the other spouses of Royals have handled all this in a more discrete, British way and I admire that.

 

[Bravo]

We don't know that Meghan is going to do a water birth. In fact we truly don't know anything LOL
