I ordered egg and sausage....I don't understand why I got two eggs, two sausages plus two slices of toast with butter and jelly (jam) and bubble and squeak (or something similar). I think it's just because in America (I'm in NYC at the mo) they always want meals 'larger'. But when I wanted egg and sausage that's all I really wanted, honestly it really is. So I had all this extra food, and I was brought up not to leave anything on my plate or I couldn't get down from the table, so I ate it (except the 'grape' jelly). I was really full all day and only had a tiny bit of sushi at 3pm to get me through to dinner.
It made me think that eating a full English breakfast wouldn't be such a bad idea. I didn't loose concentration at all through the day. I didn't need a snack at all (and I was stood looking at chocolate and brownies all day). These miners had it made eating a full English before heading down the pit. I knew northerners had it right.
cheese (artisan not supermarket stuff), excellent bread, a rare, rare 28 days hung fillet, nose to tail eating, bone marrow from St Johns, calfs liver and mash, beef stew on a very cold day, ocean prawns from Sydney Fish Markets, oysters (in the R months), anything shared with friends, picnics that don't have a sandwich in sight, pate from a French town deli, foie gras either way, Dad's apple pie and custard, sauces on the side thank you, moules frites, fresh fish bought from the boat at the end of my road, pasta fungi at my fave local Italian
Some breakfasts are bigger than your head in NYC. I love it :)
ReplyDeleteThose eggs look good. Not sure about the bangers though, do the yanks do a good sausage?
ReplyDeleteMmm, their pork is not as good as ours so I'd say not. Though Irish are the best I think. And of course no black (or white) pudding here.
