Good thing I'm not a "real" man. I recently discovered Jacques Pepan's cooking videos and decided to try his quiche recipe. Came out delicious, but that silly tagline keeps running through my head.

went to a party where the guys were all afraid to eat the quich

I guess this was back in the 1980s, when "real men don't eat quiche" was a saying.
I couldn't believe it, since the book whose title it had come from of was a satirical
treatise about the culture of masculinity, whose point they were all proving.
As I helped myself to a big slice I told them, "Real men aren't
ruled by what everyone else thinks." But of course like Ricky
I knew enough about who I was even then to know
I had zero interest in being a man,
real or otherwise.

My wife's brother-in-law

We were at my wife's parent's house and my wife's brother-in-law was there with his young son. Some sporting event was on television and one of the players flubbed somehow and the BIL said to his son (who later came out as gay) "I bet he eats quiche."

I asked if he read the book and he indicated he had. I said, "Real men don't need a book to tell them what real men do."

US vs UK baking ingredients and tools

Self-raising flour (UK) and self-rising flour (US) are not the same.

see: https://www.easyonlinebakinglessons.com/differences-between-...

Also note that US and UK "Teaspoons" and "Cups" are not the same size.

Converting the suet pastry recipe (which I assume uses UK ingredients and measuring spoons and cups) to use customary US ingredients and measuring tools will require some research on the internet and a calculator.

Best wishes to all who try anyway.

A house of quiche lovers here

Breakfast , lunch, or dinner. Man, women, children it has to be served evenly. Left over quiche is high on the endangered list. Also known as "egg pie", there are no derogatory terms ever.
