The town inside the stone circle? That would be Avebury.
That's the one. The Red Lion sounds right too. I don't remember it being log shaped and I think that's something that I wouldn't forget if it were.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Red Lion always sounds right.
As in, there's always one nearby.

Glad to help. Stone circles are a minor interest of mine.

No, when I've had it I didn't noticed log shaped. Cooked as a great big sticky mass, cube or round or whatever shape your cooked pot is, and then served in big lumps. And you don't notice the suet because it's hot and melted, and therefore see-through. IIRC, there's suet or similar in the mincemeat you put in mincepies, too, and that's not bad.

Popping in really quickly to say Happy Canada Day to our Canadian UnAms!

Have you seen what eating these kind of puddings makes the English look like?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Why yes! My mirror and I are well acquainted. But thank you for asking.

Fay if your mirror is telling you that you are less than gorgeous it is lying.

Always Anti-fascist!
Most of us probably can't eat like our ancestors, Kassto. Mine in particular ate eggs and bacon all of the time but they also plowed fields and hauled water and worked off a million calories. And of course, some of them were English and probably enjoyed a Spotted Dick, too. Though mostly, the women liked smooth ones, probably.

I actually love that the English eat badly. Health nuts are so tiresome. I went into an English supermarket once and there seemed to be 19 aisles of cakes and one aisle of everything else.
And, oh God, why is fandom so painful? Just wasted several dollars on some idiotic teen TV magazine just because it promised Buffy wrap party pics inside. I looked at the pictures with my eyes half closed just so as not to spoil myself with something, and it just hurt to think about the end.
Which leads me on to.... I have done something very bad. Had anxiety attack about what was going to happen in finale. Visited an evil shooting script site and spoilt myself hugely right to the end. I am so angry at what happens, and hate myself for doing it. Major gloom.
