Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 10, 2023

I wonder if Schulz eventually used this as his idea for parts of the Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown movie where they do go to England for a bit and Snoopy plays tennis at Wimbledon.

Try the bangers and mash or bubble and squeak too, or go north of the boarder and have some haggis with tatties and neeps. Seriously, I recommend all of the above. Just don’t ask what’s in haggis until after you’ve developed a taste for it.

Kidney pie every night, and toad in the hole every morning for breakfast.

Don’t let CB give you a bum steer, you’ll like England.

What is a kidney pie?It is a pie filled principally with a mixture of diced beef, diced kidney (which may be beef, lamb, veal, or pork) and onion. (Google so it must be true).

Try it at least once, others eating it are not dying so it should be safe.

If kidney pie is made from kidneys, pumpkin pie is made from pumpkins, and almond pie is made from almonds, what’s shepherd’s pie made of?

Nowadays, Snoopy would see Starbucks, KFC and McDonald’s absolutely everywhere he goes in London – we even have Five Guys, Wendy’s and Popeye’s. I don’t think any of my friends have ever even had kidney pie. England is an immeasurably less characterful place in 2023 as compared to when this strip was published. English people don’t even talk the way you see them do in old movies – the “mouthful-of-pennies” accent is pretty much extinct.

I’m with you Snoop’.

At Wimpy’s he can get a hamburger today and pay for it Tuesday.

When has Charlie been to England? Or, is he reciting info from the Weekly Reader?

What is kidney pie? It may taste VOMITROCIOUS!

Don’t forget some spotted “richard”. I think the real word would get me censored.

Hey, steak and kidney pie is great!

Hey! Remember that great English restaurant you went to a few months ago?! Nope, doesn’t exist. said the Scottish woman

I like to cook British foods.

I recommend the fish and chips. That, or the London broil.

Kidneys never appealed to me, but James Joyce’s description of the smell of frying kidneys solidified my distaste.

“I had another look

and I had a cup of tea

and butter pie

Butter pie?

The butter wouldn’t melt so I put it in the pie"

Strange, I just checked the TV line-up, and NBC has Roland-Garros Tennis(Whatever THAT is,I’m not a tennis fan)

Don’t forget the warm beer you can buy in pubs. The ice, in some places, isn’t plentiful.

Forget Lucy’s help booth – it’s Charlie Brown who knows psychology.

Like you had a choice.

“Are you threatening me?”

Don’t forget the steak part…..

Don’t forget to ask about the ‘Spotted Dick’ for dessert. Don’t ask what they put in sausage in Scotland.

I’ve heard people say great things about England, but not so much about the food.

Poor Charlie, he don’t know English food, and most in England don’t relish English food, that’s why they all go to Indian restaurants…

We use to eat “Tripe and Onions”, Well when I say We I personally couldn’t stomache the stuff

Like much of British food, sounds worse than it tastes

Don’t get jittery Snoopy. The round head is indeed jealous of you making to the Wimbledon. You will get better servers over there.

With a smear of Marmite on the toast.

You get awfully tired of baked beans with your breakfast.

And in England,they make Heinz Beans from a different formula than they do in the USA
