World's Only British All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Closes

[dwasson]

BALA CYNWYD, Pa. (DPI) — The world's first British all-you-can- eat buffet closes tomorrow after 9 days of operation.

Sir Gavin John-Horrocks, proprietor of the Royal Banger Buffet, announced the eatery's closure to anyone who would listen. "It is with great sadness that I announce the closure of the Royal Banger Buffet," said John-Horrocks. "It is nearly impossible to find a decent plate of eel pie and mash in the States, let alone in unlimited quantity. We thought we were filling a niche. That niche, regrettably, shall remain unfulfilled."

Vast trays of warmed-over blood sausage, toad-in-the-hole, and bubble and squeak lay uneaten today as they have every day for the past week. Head chef Marjorie Biggles shook her head sadly. "We work so hard to gather pig's blood and suet to make a lovely black pudding only to see it go to waste," she said. "It would have been nice to at least donate it all to the local food bank to feed the homeless, but they banned us."

The Royal Banger Buffet has not entirely been without customers. Most come from a small local enclave of Scottish residents. At the time of the announcement, a party of four was contemplating the buffet's demise. "We're sorry to see the buffet go," lamented one patron. "We Scots are well-known for being frugal. Most British pubs serve these standard servings of marmite and spotted dick. Here, we can eat as small a portion as we like without wasting anything."

John-Horrocks hopes that his next enterprise, McHaggis, will appeal to the enclave and beyond

Ah black pudding, or as you call it, blood sausage is truly delightful. Nothing like it, fried up with eggs, bacon, and bread. Throw in a tomato (in the bacon grease of course) for a bit of fibre and you have a fufilling breaky. Or if you're in a hurry, a Scotch egg - equally delicious and fulfilling.
You know not what you miss my friend.

:DI think we're not supposed to use such words, something about obscene descriptions and profanity and such. :lol:

Hey that was my idea. :mad2:

Just like the the haggis pizza, haggis lasagna and haggis tacos.

If they served a "ploughman's lunch," I would be there every day. If they added Bass Ale, twice a day.

Toad-in-the-hole sounds like its a Yorkshire pudding with sausage in it. Yummy!
