Oh I didn't mean that, I meant that other food that follows might seem disappointing in comparison. :lol:

Still, after that breakfast you may as well go back to bed :lol:

I recall steak & eggs was a standard preflight offering for SR71 pilots.

All that talk about Cornish party's yesterday got me going... and I had all the stuff. The tips from the wings I had the other day made a nice cup of stock (and a tsp of beef Bovril) to simmer the filling in. These aren't dry, and I'll have to assemble a second batch later.
My coffees empty, and this may pair well with a morning lager.

I was at Stansted Airport at 6AM yesterday morning on my way to work, and the bars were heaving with lager drinkers in their shorts and new holiday trainers. Now, I'm a travelling man and I know better than most that a pint or three of London Pride with your bacon and egg roll sets you up nicely when you're not sure what time zone you're meant to be in. But these people weren't transiting from Sydney to L.A., they haven't been up for 18 hours on the red-eye from Tokyo or Montevideo... this was Stansted Airport, in Essex, at 6 o'clock on a Monday morning! They were just filling up with Stella for a couple of hours before belching off to find the 8 o'clock Easyjet to Magaluf. They were drinking simply because they were in an airport and the bar was open.

I was green with envy.

As I thought, drinking swill (Stella/Carlsberg/Heineken/Kronenburg/Special Brew/Carling etc).

Re: Breakfast Choices
 
The good thing about morning drinking is you don't drink a lot, otherwise you won't have a chance at the prime drinking times (also work, driving, etc). Pairing alcohol with food vs getting stinko in the airport at least has the pretense of civility. Seeing an old geezer (not much older than me now, ha ha) in Montreal having breakfast in a restaurant was the start. He had the goatee, beret, didn't look well-off, and he had bacon and eggs with some beans and a glass of red wine at 7AM. I thought, yeah, that looks all right! I have a bottle of Jameson's Caskmates that was on sale last week and I think that will go well with my last package of kippers and some toast. If you can eat smoked herrings first thing in the morning you can take a little whiskey or a beer.

How can you include Stella with those? It's reassuringly expensive. :nod:

When Kronenbourg was first available in the UK we named it Kronendust.

But I remember 1664 as being very acceptable.

6am is a little early. When we're planning an all day fishing excursion most of us usually wait until about 8:30amish before the first beer and then I don't hit the hard stuff until about 5:30pmish otherwise we wouldn't be able to drive. :lol:

I'm going to start on the dozen donuts I was going to share, a ham and cheese croissant while washing the bitter disappointment of my canceled fishing trip (high wind warning in the Georgia Straight) away with the first of many tall cans of strong European lager.

What do you put in one in Italy? The classic open-faced turkey sandwich doesn't contain dressing, but the dressing is my favourite part of the meal so I heated it together with turkey and gravy and ladled it over toast. And it doesn't matter that it was for breakfast either, since it was already lunch time in Italy.

Never seen a turkey sandwich here (in the hills ). But.... I misinterpreted your post in that I thought that you already had a turkey sandwich andthen put more turkey on it. Hope you enjoyed it. Apologies.

Dressing? Like salad dressing? :confused: with gravy?

It's a hackneyed North American debate whether to call it stuffing or dressing.

Ok thanks. Have missed that over the last six years. Do love stuffing in a sandwich though. Almost makes up for the turkey.

I will be honest, I had a fantastic 6am airport breakfast yesterday from a place called Leon's - new to me, don't know if it's a big chain or not.

It was called a breakfast pot and it had beans, mushrooms, spinach, halloumi and a poached egg on top. It was brilliant. They did have bacon and sausage versions but the veggie one looked the best.
