Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

We have a traditional dish in the UK which are meatballs made from minced pork liver and heart, mixed with bacon, onion and breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, I cannot name this dish because it shares the same name as a homophobic slur but they are known as "ducks" in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire.

Steak and kidney pie also a classic. Liver and bacon as well.

I had to look up the recipe to figure out the slur you were alluding to...yikes. I don't blame you for not repeating the name here.

Another fun fact, the shortened version of that slur (word that rhymes with 'rag') is what we call cigarettes.

I'd heard the cigarette version before. Blows my American mind.
