Apologies to any Australians who may be asleep in their beds by now, I will post one late in the evening for you to get first guess sometime in the next week or so.
I will now go and put the kettle on, and destroy the evidence.
@svt Thank you Sophie, no it isn't Brioche. Parts of the East End of London are quite trendy now and there may well be a lot of Brioche sold in some fancy bakeries,but it something far more basic than that. ;)
Ahhhh they look so delicious! I works nights so I got home not to long ago and I am hungry for breakfast, but I only have one problem... your muffins are too far away! hahahaha great shot!!!! They make my mouth water!
They almost look like chocolate chip cookies. My favorites:). These look amazing! Wish that I knew Cockney Rhyming Slang. Fun idea for a theme for yourself! I have one that I will be trying out soon too.
Since I'm American, I'm going to contribute with our slang. I say, "muffin top" which is slang for the fat hanging over your belt. (Hmmm... I just looked this up... it originated in Austrailia... lol)
@annbo@esolvideosuk@elsbels Triple thank you. Jennie, that is just where I spotted them ;) Helen, I missed out thebutter, they were still fabulous! Ann, Wine goes with everything if you match the acidity ;)
@seanoneill Ummm, only women have muffin tops. A muffin top goes all the way around the belt. Men tend to spill over just in the front. :-) I'll have to make this a photo challenge.
I guess you are not off your scone, but a bun would simply be "Buckley's and none" (after the store Buckley's and Nunn). This simply abbreviated to Buckley's chance, after the famous escaped convict. "You've got Buckey's chance" or "you've got Buckley's" ie Buckley's and none.
@echoia LOL. In London, people born in the East End, within the sound of Bow Bells (Church) are called Cockneys. They speak using a Rhyming Slang. This series of shots is shooting the item used as slang, so that people can try and guess what the real thing is. So I shoot a Currant Bun, which is what Cockneys call the Sun, or a Son, or a Nun. There, clear as mud!
"Pur-chased this very mornin' from the baking emporium in East Leake"
So, yes Sun is one of the correct answers, 3 left to find!
I hope this link helps give you a flavour of Cockney Rhyming Slang, and should help you find the other 3 answers! http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/slang/C
So the shot is of a Currant Bun = Cockney Rhyming Slang for Sun, Son, The Sun (trashy tabloid newspaper) and Nun.
