I'm a hot-cider fanatic and never had this in mind for butterbeer. Either
it's root beer-like, or it's alcoholic.

In light of the recent conversation, I'm going to leave the above
statement alone. ;) Otherwise, I'll get kicked off list for indecency
and possibly excommunicated from the Nice Girl's Club that my friends
think I'm the president of. <g>

Chitterlings is what they're called... Rita told us in chat Sunday that
they were peasant food in the Old World (Britain?). Here they're called
"chitlins" (at least in the South) and originated as a meat source
for enslaved persons and the poorer populations. Hence, the phrase
"high on the hog" as outdated African-American slang for someone who
has attained wealth.

Still tripping and chuckling about treacle *and* that other British food
we talked about,
