Whether you want a cold meaty eggy snack, going on a picnic, having a beige buffet, or just want to stick something in your pocket for later then you can't go wrong with either gala pie or a scotch egg.

Gala pie is a long pie made of chopped pork held together with pork fat surrounded with pork jelly in a thick hot water pastry. As you can see in the photo it has a long egg that runs through the middle. These long cylinder eggs are laid by special chickens.

Scotch egg is simply a boiled egg, (either hard or soft) which is encased in sausage meat, rolled in breadcrumbs and cooked. As you can see in the shop window pic you can get different types.

So when it cones to satisfying your meaty eggy cravings where does your heart lie?

"She's no stranger to the chip shop," is a well-known British saying when referring to ladies who don't look good in lycra. But although chip shops are everywhere in Britain they haven't always been called chip shops.

They were once called fish bars in England or potato taverns (tafarn tatws) in Wales. Many chips shops still go under the name fish bar.

But how do you refer to a chip shop in casual speech. The options reflect the common terms.

The photos show a thrift shop in a Welsh town that's seen better days. As you can see the owner is hedging his bets by selling all British flags. There's even some nice intertwined Union Jacks and Irish bunting , which I'm sure sell well.

In the news recently, there have been stories of very wealthy Americans refugees moving en masse to the UK seeking safety from the current situation.

Now it's got me thinking. Americans love to fly the flag on their homes. But is it OK to do that when living in another country? Or does it risk drawing negative attention?
