More specifically, one phrase, sounds like "hot tomali pie" or "hot tomali-eye". Can someone tell me what it is/how it's spelled as it's really bugging me! I tried googling "tomali" but that didn't help so I obviously have misheard or can't spell.

thank you

I always wondered the same thing! I think it's these and the hi is just a random exclamation

Hot Tamales

I hate that the lunch song is on dead on 12 noon. I feel guilty because DD has usually only just had her breakfast and it reminds me what a slattern I am

Thank you! (I want something spicier than DD3's leftover Dairylea sandwich now...)

Hot tamale pie ( it does exist apparently!)

Rockbird I used to get that too Now my freeview box has broken so DS watches in the night garden etc (or endless Thomas DVDs) on my laptop instead and that means he ends up going to bed even later because I can access cbeebies at any time of day or night

Tamale is a vegetable. I love that wee song - always makes me hungry

dd insists on lunch the second she hears the lunchtime song and gets most miffed if i say its too early

I find it really annoying when it says "ketchup, mustard, ice cream, custard each a tasty dish" Theyre freaking condiments and accompneyments..... really.... ketchup.... for a meal??? NO NO NO!

See, I always hear it as ...mashed potato, hot tamale, pie

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 04/03/2010 00:09

Rockbird - there were a couple of days last week where DS had not long finished breakfast when the lunch song came on

He did look at me slightly confused!!

spooky - I know, that bugs the hell out of me too.

I always giggle at apple sauce and then a picture of a pig

No, no, it's hot tamale, AY! Which is a Latin American exclamation. And a tamale is NOT a vegetable, it is a sort of meat pie baked inside a cornhusk.

I have that problem with my ds too StevieDunton, then its constantly "is it lunch time?Is it lunch time?Is it lunch time? til i get so irritated I give in, which is probably a bad thing but gives me peace and quiet for ten minutes.
