pie and mash
London, UK.
Historically, the pies were made from scraps of beef and vegetables, leftovers or from the local markets, under a pastry crust. The mashed potatoes were liberally covered in parsley gravy or "liquor". There has been a great revival in these dishes and quite a number of Pie ‘n’ Mash restaurants can now be found across London.

Jellied eels
London, UK.
Jellied eels are an old East End (of London) favourite where they are still sold from street stalls, to be eaten from china bowls sprinkled with hot chilli vinegar. Jellied eels are the sort of street food you wolf down while standing up or perhaps on the way home from the pub.

Hack and slash
Genre of movie where the plot revolves around a group of teenagers in a remote place who are systematically killed off by a monster or evil force. Jason & Friday the 13th was probably the original hack & slash movie.
Key points:
1.The victims never seem to realise that leaving the area may be a healthy alternative to staying close to the monster.
2. There is usually a scene where a scantily clad girl is chased through heavily wooded area.
3. There is always one of the group and a surviving bit of the monster or egg ect left at the end of the movie for a sequel.
The film Scary Movie is a parody of this genre.
Hack and Slash also is the name of a computer game.
