SCAFELL Pike! And you seriously can't accept "sausage" for sausages? There might not be more than one.

Nice mix of questions. Asquith was also PM during WW1, and for longer than Lloyd George. You should probably add both, or specify the dates. Also, a bit nitpicky, but is black pudding really meat based? It's made of blood and fat, not muscle.
