BREAKFAST IS LATE TODAY



Yes, comrades, that's black pudding. It's disgusts Americans but is one of the things that made me what I am today. And oh that I had such a heart-stopping plate in front of me right now! (Lifted from BreakfastLiverpool)

  6. What a crap!
    In the morning the first thing I do is to take a spoon of domestic olive-oil (which is much better than so called extra virgin oil) to try to clean the inner walls of my shrank veins which were previously completely saturated with that poison mix sausage-eggs-pommefrit.

    The people who invented that shit should be sent to azylum
    and permanently fed with it there.
    The stroke is guaranteed!

  7. Sausage, egg, bacon, chips, mushrooms, and a fried slice, washed down with an ultra cold Coke, is the food of the gods. It haunts my Calfornia dreams. (And I'm not dead yet, or even overweight.)

    Ah ha, I think we have final proof that the real Mick Farren has been kidnapped by aliens and that a replica
    has taken charge of this blog.

  9. Yes. I continue to eat Black Puddings; usually in the form of a chip shop supper. And haggis, too, of course.

  12. The men don't know but ib and Lost Jimmy understand. (And yes, I confess, a greasy fry-up and aggressively cold Coca Cola have always been the cure for what ails me in a hungover morning.)

  16. Some cultural culinary treasures, just don't translate, but blood sausage AKA black pudding is hands down one of the greatest things that poor people, around the world, have always eaten. Yummy, nutritious and not wasting a thing from the animal, very ecologically sound. Oh, and yummy too! Now a lot of black pudding in the UK is on the dry side for my taste, I prefer it when it's a bit moist, think blood chocolate cake gooey goodness. Yes, food of the gods indeed. For those who grew up thinking that meat came pre-packaged in plastic as a course of nature, this is hard to take, but real food often involves real dead animals and it's good from snout to tail if you really know how to do it.

    Nothing like an ice cold Mexican real coke in the morning after a dram too many. A good preamble to a strong cup of tea and a rasher sandwich for those difficult climbs to consciousness....

    Oh, there I go, real bacon, not the streaky kind, lord have mercy, why is there no REAL bacon in the US?

  17. I don't eat breakfast, I abide & leave my home still feeling like a zombie... Lunch & Dinner are generally the only meals I partake in.

    However... biscuits & gravy all mashed up with eggs over easy & tobasco sauce... looks gnarly, yet it tastes great.

    I suppose one doesn't have to eat breakfast to enjoy breakfast foods, otherwise there goes the pancake dinner.

    Pink Fairies the lot of you.

    Toast and dripping with a sprinkling of salt.

    And none of those new-fangled electric toasters. A toasting fork for that extra coal smoke flavour.

  21. And you're not overweight?
    That's hard to believe!
    I watch that show on BBC called You Are What You Eat,and sit and wonder about that English food.
    A lot of "Fry-Ups". Also deep fried Mars candy bars?! Maybe it's all of the crap preservatives in American food,and meat additives.
    A lot of Americans are overweight,and I'm one of them.
    It's probaby from not enough exercise,and being on the computer way too much, but I'm eating less and less red meat. Less fast food too. Maybe you have good genes, you're lucky.

  22. Although there's a great deal of microwave-comfort-garbage plus fried stuff in my diet, plus booze, The trick I learned as a former speedfreak was not to eat very much food of any kind.
