in email from a friend, (talking food) she mentioned "lashing of butter" and, of course, i mentally translated lashing of into slathered with

and at the risk of a starting a food post, i thought also of a joint of meat-- a pecularlly UK phrase, in my mind... dinner might feature a ham, or a leg of lamb, or a pork shoulder, but i have never heard any one this side of the pond speak of a joint of meat-- at best, you might have a 'roast'-- which, standing along by itself would almost always indicate beef.

i wonder what those down under or in the norht use...
do you slather? or have lashing?
generic joints? or legs and shoulders?

are there still hold outs who call the meat of a fowl "white and dark" or has most everybody resumed calling a chicken breast a breast..and leg a leg?


my other obsession
