                        Okay, so I thought I was finally gonna know this without having to ask, BUT


                        It says "rashers" is bacon, so when Richt says he had "2 rashers of bacon" for breakfast, he's saying "2 rashers of rashers"???!?!?

                        How much is a rasher?? Enquiring minds want to know before they visit Jolly Olde England this summer so they can order a sufficient number of rashers to fill up their tummies.

                              Should I feel embaressed or ashamed of being British and having not ever heard of most of those British terms?

                              I'm far too Americanized. What did my parents do to me?! haha
