I'm therapy now, trying to get over the trauma of being around so much improper sausage at the last fark party.

in! in therapy.

staplermofo: in! in therapy.

I accidentally a therapy.

I read that as gastropod (pops)

Germany figured this out centuries ago, this is just a debate about minor details.

Sausage + beer = win.

sausage is crap in a bag, kind of like a colon

Good sausage is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately, it is also as rare.

Bah. Any pub, gastro or otherwise, must build it's cuisine on meat pies. Not pot pies but meat pies. The true gourmet pub experience is, of course, Steak and Stilton pie. (with ale, but does that really need to be said?)

The only antedote for bad sausage is lots and lots of farkleberries.
Preferably fermented.
That will loosen the cemented sausage right out of our impacted colon.
/or semi-colon, if you are an english major who has survived exit door surgery.
//that and a good deal of icecream.
///Hurry up, ice cream!

Fuller's London Porter is very good.

Yay, another beer thread!

This article is relevant to my interests.

I just came back from my first trip to England a couple of days ago and I miss bangers already. US sausage is good, but...it's just not the same.

GASTROPOD: 1. any mollusk of the class Gastropoda, comprising the snails, whelks, slugs, etc.

GASTROPUB: A gastropub (or "gastro pub") is a British term for a public house which specializes in high-quality food a step above the more basic "pub grub." The name is a combination of pub and gastronomy and was coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben opened a pub called The Eagle in Clerkenwell, London.


/No need to thank me.

goddamn adkins, I'd kill someone for a biscuit. Meanwhile in other news, scotch has zero carbs and no hangover!!

/fark while you lose weight... I dare ya

meat + filling + intestine lining = sausage

It's kind of like bacon's adorable, though retarded, nephew. That having been said, fresh, heavily spiced and delicately herbed after being marinated in white wine... Use your imagination.

Maddogjew: goddamn adkins, I'd kill someone for a biscuit. Meanwhile in other news, scotch has zero carbs and no hangover!!

Everyone I knew that did the Atkins diet gained it all back within 4 months.

/good luck.

"gastro" is so goddamn unappetizing.

come eat sausages at my juicy fart pub!

kanewil, I came in here for AD reference and was not disappointed.

Brown Sauce very true, "gastro" whatever sounds like suckage, however sausage and beer, that's good stuff.

I prefer italian sausage with onions, sauerkraut, and mustard.

...Rather be in Munich at Augustiner's enjoying the weissewurst and a half-liter of Octoberfest beer. That is the ultimate sausage and beer combo.

UK bangers are pretty good -- alot better than the crap they sell here in the U.S., but I'll take steak and kidney pie over bangers any time. Unless I can find a good curry. That, and as long as the veg of the day is not peas and carrots.

Gastro pub? Is that even a real moniker? If so, f that.

Only arseholes who say shiat like "think outside the box" would farking go to a place called a "gastropub".

Like beer, some US sausage is very good. Most is mediocre, at best.

/obligatory

Gastropub sounds like a place where elitists hang out.

The only sausages you'll find in any bar I go to are pickled and sitting on the bar in a jar of some mysterious pink liquid.

neongoats: Gastro pub? Is that even a real moniker? If so, f that.

Yes, it's a British term. It's a place where you get gourmet pub food, basically. So, it's just a restaurant that serves higher-quality food than your standard pub fare. Nothing particularly smarmy about it, I don't think.

They are infiltrating the US at a rapid rate.

I found a dive bar to go to after golfing in San Diego recently that had GREAT pub food at very reasonabe prices...I just never knew it was a gastropub!!

FTA- "...a brace of plump, sizzling bangers...eschew ghastly foams, fads and flummeries...Rupert Ponsonby..."

Was a fun read, but wow, this article could have been written by Buzz Killington...

...except for the line "Personally, I prefer to consume sausages alone," which I'm pretty sure came from George Thorogood's English cousin.

Yeah well you know when I consume sausages alone, I prefer to be by myself!

Wasn't a Ponsonby one of the producers of the Bullwinkle Show along with Britt?

I like good sausage, but with real mustard on good bread vid some ongions and cheez. And you don't @$@#$ing boil it and you don't #%&@$% bake it it has to be grilled dark brown and glazed in it's own fat. That's sausage.

I'd rather have, in any pub, really good deli, curries, and fish and chips, though.

/not so much the chips.

Too much sausage fark fest fark shiat going on lately for my taste.



C'Mon Drew is dead, where did you farking bury the body. No way he would let this shiat go on like it has been lately.

Some guy in his underpants.

Great.

That classed the joint up. : )

who wants a banger in the mouth?

Here's a Big Bang(er) theory chick I'd love to have a sausage fest with:


/oh so hot-linked

//also doubles as teh eye bleach for that pic of a dude up there

So you wanna run train on her with a ton of other dudes? That's sorta ghey.

Damnit. It's the middle of the freakin night, and now I'm hungry.

I've been looking for an excuse to post this.

Let's appreciate it...
.. together.

Just you...
... me
... and the Sausage!

I know what you're thinking!

Fark. So you mean I am going to have to start calling every farking Applebees, and TGI Fridays, and Chilis, and Chotchkeys and Flingers a "Gastro-pub" from now on? Ugh. As if I don't already want to wipe the yuppie smarmyness off of me everytime some jackass drags me into one.

Damnit.

neongoats:

Nonono. A gastropub is a pub that serves good food. You know, simple but made well with fresh ingredients and so on. Crappy chain restaurants that serve microwaved frozen food along with the booze don't really qualify.

Of course, the term's suffered from some inflation, and any old crappery that serves beer and food calls itself a gastropub now. But I think it's still a good word; even if it sounds a little awkward, there isn't really an alternate term for the same.

They're the essence of a gastropub, too - the proper, unpretentious places that eschew ghastly foams, fads and flummeries for good ingredients, beautifully cooked.

That was one of the most pretentious articles I've ever read, starting with "gastropub". Some foodie art fag telling me what is unpretentious is about as useful to me as some really un-useful thing.

/my flummery - let me eschew it to you

Give us a bash
Of the bangers and mash
Me mother used to make! (new window)

I've got Chelsea-ManU on the TV, Earl Grey in my cup, and NO FARKING SAUSAGES on my plate. Dammit.
