Actually, he has a point. I don't know anyone who eats f@ggots. I bet most people aren't even aware that f@ggots are a type of food. If you went up to someone and said "I ate a f@ggot", you'd get some unusual looks, because people today are perverted.

However, Mac15 is horribly ignorant of other cultures and probably even his own.

Hmm. Well this is the UK not australia. We don't want to see dead animals.

Well I don't know how popular 'f@ggots' are, but obviously this was a British pub serving mostly British people (although no doubt some tourists too), but as for the other things, mac15 said that British people never eat things like pork pies and yorkshire pudding which you know is rubbish. Of course he'll claim that's no what he meant but whatever...

Have you never left Northern Ireland or are you being wilfully ignorant? I just told you I saw tons of dead animals on display when I went to England, more than I would see here. It's nothing wrong with it, where do you think your meat comes from, it falls from the sky?

That's definitely absurd. Pork pies and Yorkshrie Puddings are very popular.

I don't go into butchers so I'm not sure about the carcas thing, but I know you see big pieces of meat hanging sometimes.

Things like fajitas are popular. I eat fajtias and vegetable stir fry more often than traditional British meals.

Well carcasses or not, I find it weird he finds it weird that butchers display their meat out front. What butcher doesn't??

But yeah, it just shows how food is such a prominent aspect of multiculturalism. We eat sushi now more than we eat meat pies. Indian curry is eaten more than fish'n'chips in the UK I think.

You must've went to a tutor style village in the midlands because it is not common to see dead animals hanging upside down in the butchers.
