Jadon Sancho (confirmed loan signing)

Having lived in both Sheffield and Leeds I'd managed to avoid their mushy peas until one day I went to Bradford where I was introduced to a meat pie drowning in mushing peas with mint sauce. I was not amused. Only thing worse I can think of is chips with gravy. Savages!

So you're saying a Francesinha is nicer than both of them?

All of those should only be eaten out of a dog bowl

Is the correct answer though some dog lovers may rightly argue the Francesinha isn't fit for dogs.

I was wondering if you could help me. I bought this food from an artisinal market a few weeks ago, it was like this fried potato dough filled with shredded chicken, looked like teardrops? It ended with -inha but I can't remember the start at all.

That would probably be coxinha. ^^

I can help you there my monocular mutant fella, that's called 'coxinha' and it's a Săo Paulo delicacy I believe. I actually made some once for a paulista friend of mine, and she was incredibly stoic about the whole thing.

Good description of me, Monty! Ah yes, thanks both. I needed to know because I really enjoyed it.

Alex and Monty are correct, although you get them all over Brasil now. I've had a few in my time and I agree they're very nice, if a bit heavy. I prefer the basic version (rather than with catupiry) with a drop or two of malagueta pepper sauce. Coxinha is pronounce [co-SHEEN-ya] if you're ever ordering one.

Thanks for that because I had no idea how to pronounce it, I just pointed at them.

I have an invitation for a party where they pronounce loads of different ways.
