Lost in Translation

Today's British English lesson is brought to you by the letter F:
Fanny- does not mean your butt, behind, etc. Nor does it describe any kind of "pack" or purse worn on the hip. "Fanny" is another word for a woman's downstairs (or as Oprah would say- her va-jayjay).

Fag- not a derogatory name for a homosexual, but the common name for a cigarette.

Keeping that in mind... I found this at the grocery store.

Usually, you see Bangers & Mash, which is sausages and mashed potatoes. But I have no idea what this is!
