Address to an English Dish

As appeared on Radio 4’s “The Write Stuff” and deserving wider attention. Apologies to any offended and have to say that I enjoy Auntie Bessie’s Yorkshire Pud’s.

in the style of “Rabbie” Burns

Address to an English Dish

Raise hae your tassie and gie place
To palest of the puddin race
First milk and beef fat you procure
And mix them up with eggs and flure
Pop in pan and cuik it guid
And then you’ve made a Yorkshire puid

Draw close your joint stool and then eight
the muckskipe lying on your plate
Bleath it bransom break and brelly
Twill lie heavie on your bellie
Tak days of running to dislodge
That great insipid lump ay stodge

Thank God for haggis
It’s the fuid
to gi more strength than Yorkshire puid
that pockie English tak for dinner
To make their thin bluid even thinner
Most palid of all lunchkeen snacks

For TIMOROUOS

COWERING

SASENACHS!
