What does Martin call the steak hamper that Niles buys him?

[welshben23]

The Slaughterhouse 5?

[jrsightes]

What's a steak hamper? Is that one of those terms you Brits have for something we Americans know by another name, like bumbershoot/umbrella? I know the "slaughterhouse 5" was a gift basket with 5 kinds of meat, but Niles doesn't give it to Martin. Martin's friends send it to him as condolences for his "loss" of Frasier ("The Late Dr. Crane").

I was going to ask the same thing. I'm picturing a clothes hamper with steaks piled in it. That wouldn't work very well and after a while I'd imagine the steaks would begin to rot something fierce! Nothing smells worse than rotting meat!

Yeah, the words "steak" and "hamper" go together about as well in my mind as "fridge" and "pants." Was someone indulging in a certain fudgy confection from Cafe Nervosa before writing this question? I think it might have gotten mixed up with the one Roz's neighbor made.

[Moon-Crane]

Hehe, well i've not seen a specific steak hamper, but you get food hampers of all types, like this. They're just your gift baskets really and I suspect you don't keep the meat in there forever

It's US stuff like trolley car and steam shovel that always paint strange pictures in my head.

Bumbershoot is possibly more of an American term than British, jr. There was a bit of discussion about it somewhere around here. It's pretty much an umbrella or brolly to Brits.

[CatNamedRudy]

Thanks MC! So, it's pretty much like a Hickory Farms gift basket. I used to buy those for my dad for Christmas when I was a kid.

This is a question for information, rather than a quiz question. Have any of the British members ever heard of an umbrella called a bumbershoot? I never have and I'm British born and bred. Maybe it's a Manchester thing (it was a term used by Daphne).

Nope, this show was the first place i ever heard of the term. There are some threads about it somewhere in the Frasier Discussion board.
