Happy St George's Day Everybody. Has anyone got anything planned for today or tonight to celebrate?

Please only polite posts. Let's keep this grown up!

Who's this St George bloke then? - never heard of him!

Now if it was 30th Novemeber, I'd be having some haggis and neeps!

That's my dilemma D. Do I have Fish & Chips or Chicken Tikka Masala?

**Duncan** · 23rd April 2007, 09:38

lol, well the latter is now as 'British' as the former (in terms of popularity).

You've just highlighted a point though, there isn't really any National Dish of England is there?

I've just been discussing this a few colleagues and we've come up with -

1. Cornish Pasty
2. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

or my personal favourite -

3. English Breakfast

I'll be cooking an English Breakfast for tea tonight. (any excuse really)

Happy St George's Day

In Suffolk they have been trying to get St Edmund (re) instated as the patron Saint - apparently it was him before this George chap rescued damsels in distress by shoving a stick down a lizard's throat (or something like that anyway).

St Edmund's day doesn't quite have the same ring as St George's day, does it? I blame Rowan Atkinson and the Blackadder series.

Happy St George's day everyone. Don't let our emblem be hijacked by the BNP (unlike this thread)

Pie and mash with Eel liquor...

Oh Spikey....pie and mash is ok, but eel liquor, UGH!

Happy St. George's day to all.
I assume We should all go around drinking pints of warm real ale, eating roast dinners and jam roly-poly, followed by a little light Morris Dancing?
I seem to recall that St George was Turkish, so maybe a kebab would be best?
