Carol:
I think that "bacon butty" would appeal to the same childish sense of
humor that finds "spotted dick" funny, which a teacher might or might
not consider a problem. Any ideas regarding the etymology? (As for
suitability as a class project, I think you're right that it isn't. It
sounds about as difficult as toast and jam, meaning that it's too easy.

Goddlefrood:

Carol:
I don't know anyone who has a Dutch oven, and since it's cooked
uncovered, I don't think that a crock pot would work. Would a heavy
aluminum (American spelling!) sauce pan work? (I don't know anyone who
has a "food mill," either. A blender, maybe.

Carol, wondering whether Goddlefrood has tried her recipe for American
biscuits yet (and you thought that I'd forgotten!)
