They should call it "suet" like we do here in the states. Did they really not think that "fat balls" would inspire giggles?

What about the spotted dick?

Does one put fat balls in their cock soup?
 
2010-03-15 07:27:46 AM
I guess I need to find some "fat balls" to go with these.

Cock soup is authentically Jamaican and also the true West Indian taste? This is confusing to me.

Any news on the placement of the new line of Schweaty Balls?

The cock soup wasn't bad... but the cervix stew was better

Wow - we can get Cock Flavoured Soup on the lower shelves at my local supermarket.

Apparently Fat Balls are not popular in our area though, unless they are on the customers?

I think I need to bleach my imagination now.

"West Indies" was how the first explorers referred to the Caribbean (including Jamaica) because they thought they'd sailed all the way around the world and reached India by a Western route.

Are we sure the Germans didn't win? Maybe there was a big disinformation campaign after the war.

We stock an Asian sauce called Ah-So sauce. Try pronouncing that without it sounding like... you know.

The cock soup is a classic.

Staff reportedly received hundreds of complaints from parents who worried about their children seeing the product.

Sigh

Balls! Changing the name will cock everything up.

I love to have a laugh in the grocery store. The first time I saw a box labeled "battered fish" in the freezer section at Albertsons an image of fish trapped in abusive relationships flashed through my mind and I laughed all the way to the checkout.

Oh, duh. Yeah Native American "Indians" and stuff. Whoops. Damn annoying terminology. West Indes isn't the West Indes, it's the land people thought were the West Indes hundreds of years ago. Why does cock soup have to be the one to provide such epiphanies?

I have a recipe for cock ale somewhere. Not that I've ever been brave enough to brew up a batch, but apparently someone, at some point in history, decided that it might be a fine idea to add chicken to beer.
 
2010-03-15 08:24:49 AM
At least they still sell "Gentleman's Relish".

"It has a strong, very salty and slightly fishy taste."

Apparently ...
 
2010-03-15 08:29:49 AM
This seems eminently practical. I mean, how else will our children learn to not laugh at words with two meanings except by banning the use of the innocent one.

Asda is owned by Wal-Mart now, right?

Came for spotted dick, leaving sassified.

Not just chicken but rooster as well. Not sure how it is in soup but roasted rooster is like chewing through a ball of rubber bands.

Yes, because god forbid you see a customer laughing and having a good time.
There shall be no merriment in the ASDA!

And don't get me started on stupid parents who can't tell their children that "cock" means chicken.

And you do WHAT to a gun!? With your eyebrow!?

Something is cockeyed? OH MY!

Mom... Why is my drink called a mocktail?

From the land of Cockney.

My store has that stuff in the Hispanic aisle. A picture of a rooster with "COCK" in big letters. I have to laugh every time I see it. The customers, unfortunately, aren't sophisticated enough to realize there might be a problem. They'd probably buy it and complain there was no cock in it. :)

But no, we're pu8ssies because ASDA are retarded Americans.
