Grandson seems to have found a new friend.

If any one is wondering Paul Elliott is the one on the left of the photo.

the only other funny-name foods I can think of are fat rascals and pigs in blankets.

In Canada pigs in a blanket are hotdogs wrapped in pastry.
But sausages wrapped in bacon sounds much better.

Both seem perfect for my birthday party but not the canadian version as they don't sound tasty enough to try to work out insulin dose for, especially as I'm going to eat at least a half fat rascal too!
 
Reactions: heh
US pigs in blankets are the same as Canadian pigs in blankets. I never heard of the version of sausages wrapped in bacon but those sound good too and I have a friend who would love those.

@JohnEGreen is the top picture fat rascals? I only read about them in a book and one of the women was always baking the most yummy-sounding things. Including treacle tarts and molasses taffy as well as bread. It was a horse story and I thought Fat Rascal would be a good name for a pony. It was long before the days of ponies named Hairy Trotter.

I love reading about yummy sounding things of which I have no idea what they are! Currently I'm craving 'pocket pies'. Supposedly you can put them in your pockets and warm your hands on them until you want to eat them and they haven't completely fallen apart in your pocket by that time and they're also not covered in the nasty stuff that collects in pockets. They even have double sided pocket pies with one half of meat filling and half with apple and of course you share the apple half with your magical talking horse!
I fully expect something this perfect will be low carb as well if you want them to, apples and all!
 
My magical invisible talking horse says "Yeigh!" to the apple half.
 
Had these for tea tonight

They were ok but they are not pizzas
 
Oh, dear, I was thinking of trying one for Thanksgiving dinner next week.

When is your birthday?
 
Yes they are scones with cherries for eyes and blanched almonds as teeth to make a rascally face.
You can find a recipe here

But they are very high in carbs I would think.

Good thing I just finished my supper of fish and chip. Otherwise your post would have made me really hungry!
(Or maybe it's not so good that I ate the fish since it was battered cod with malt vinegar. Oh, well ... )

@JohnEGreen thanks for posting about the fat rascals. I thought those looked like little faces on them in the pic! Kinda like gingerbread men.
 
Morning all

Up at very stupid o'clock will try for a nap later.
