3. That’s British, surely. I ate things like that as a kid, as did my parents who grew up during the war. It’s a main course, so not much different to a pie. I’m guessing the case is suet.

   The great all purpose suet dish for working class brits, at least in London, was ‘roly-poly’. Basically a swiss roll made out of suet instead of cake. If you were having it for pudding it was ‘jam roly poly’- unsurprisingly with a layer of jam spread before rolling. For dinner it could be Bacon roly poly – go on, guess.

   Frankly Anhk Morpork working class food is just London working class food.

4. I hope that's mostly tomatoes and onions… and not a big freaking mound-o-meat.

5. +Al Hunt Per the recipe [http://dailymargueritepattenrecipecard.tumblr.com/post/136991446272/savory-bacon-pudding]:

   Crust:
   2 cups flour
   2 tsp baking powder
   pinch salt
   3/4 cupt shredded suet
   cold water to mix

   Filling:
   1/2 – 3/4 lb. bacon
   1-2 chopped onions
   1-2 chopped tomatoes
   1-2 diced carrots
   small piece sliced cucumber or diced zucchini
   little chopped parsley
   pepper
   water

   garnish with watercress

   Which, to be fair, is not quite as horrifying as the picture. But, still, there are far better ways to present those ingredients …

8. +Dave Hill Yes, not quite as horrifying. Still, when I'm making dinner I try to avoid dishes that can be described as "cyst-like".

9. +Al Hunt Yeah, I usually laugh a bit when cooking shows score dishes on "presentation," but this one demonstrates why that's important (if not as intended).
