Sausage
Skate
Sauce

Your going to Prison.

John - Go to the toilet.

Braun - Have a shave.

Sausage - Take the dog for a walk.

Skate - Do some skateboarding.

"..Sauce - Be cheeky to some coppers and get nicked."

or, Buy sauce for the meat pies in prison?

Or, meat pies are de rigueur at football matches, so your going to watch a Football match.

This is definitely about food and to me meat pies = Australia. That'll be my first choice.

Second choice - sausage and braun suggest Germany.

Are you going to Frankfurter?

"I am going to a meeting somewhere tomorrow ...."

Ah.. forgot about this "meeting"! Is this a regular meeting say weekly or monthly?

Are we sure that 'meeting' is not actually 'meating'

This could be a gathering of chefs.

If it is 'meeting', is this meeting related to your work

Or is it a sports meeting

What is "Hinter's" phone number ?

Your going to Prison.

It was a work-related meeting although the actual work is irrelevant to the question.

For desert I had Hollygog pudding.

I did spend the night in prison, as it happens, but I was free to come and go as I pleased. So - what town and where did I stay?

John Brown = prison

sausage, skate, sauce = Oxford

Ans : Oxford Prison Hotel

[underquark]

Got it (essentially) emm. Oxford (all items of food to do with the place) and the Malmaison Hotel which is a converted prison.

Oxford...
John - a cut of lamb
Braun (or brawn) - decomposing pig's head
Sausage - a pork/veal or pork/lamb skinlees sausage
Skate - a familiar name for a type of sausage
Sauce - a fruity mixture to put on your sausages

Hollygog puddong - a stodgy, syrupy cake

Besides brawn I've not come across these terms before, must be local to Oxford.

An aunt of mine, from Scotland, used to cook something she called brawn, like a pate and quite tasty on toast but I never really knew what went into it, although pigs heads were mentioned, I did not know if she was joking or not.

I figured that Scotch egg and Eccles cake probably wouldn't lead one to Oxford. Sausage and sauce could have referred to Cumberland. Hollygog is very Oxford-area.

She probably proudly made haggis by stuffing lungs, liver, oatmeal and the fatty bits from around the kidneys into a sheep's stomach so why would she see the need to joke about pig's head? Just remember to take the eyes out first.

Yum.

Thanks for awarding me the prize – essentially I just googled hollygog which was a bit too easy.
