Two Countries

...Separated by a single language. That was how George Bernard Shaw described America and England. With that in mind, I present, without comment, today's Brain Link : "Mr Brain's Pork Faggots".

It's no wonder 100 million faggots are eaten in the UK every year!

I wouldn't be surprised.

A "Faggot" in UK parlance, is what in Germany would be called a "Frikadelle", and in Australia, a "Rissole". In America, I think "Meatball" is a reasonable translation.

Never mind. Many American visitors to Australia freak out when they see a certain brand of cheese in our supermarkets.
