Yogurt as usual…key lime pie flavoured this morning.

How I long for a crispy bacon sandwich. :tounge_smile:

Silly sausage.

I'm not going to mince my words, it's a misteak.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Artisanal hipster tax. How many blocks would you have to go for a good bahn mi? On the east side they're all over the place, I'm guessing for $8 or so. I pay $7.70 at my go-to place these days. Because they put the baguette in the oven for about 12 minutes I phone 15 min ahead then go pick them up.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had a bacon sandwich, no regrets.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

There's a new one opened up a couples of blocks away. I find the bread too dry and the filling tasteless. They should use Keen's mustard.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That would overpower the pate'. The bun is crusty, that's baguette for you, but there should be flavours galore. Could be inferior sandwiches riding on a classy locale so I'd try looking further afield. The sandwich is a legacy of the French occupation and one of my favourite take-outs. I discovered it in 1983 in back of a little grocery store somewhere around the Ovaltine. They had about 80 different kinds of nuoc' mam sauce in one section and a little counter at the back where they made the sandwiches. Sadly the take out service faltered by around 2000 and I don't know if it ever bounced back. I never had one as good in Vancouver again, but I still like them.

Steak and eggs today.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I long for a real nice bit of Gammon with eggs.... you cant get gammon here like you can in the UK....



This is a very close second though:thumbsup:!!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Find a local slaughterhouse and ask them to prepare it exactly as you like it. Rural towns seem to have them.

Country Ham or Virginia Ham (joint or steak) are similar (salt cured) - Old Fashioned Ham (bone in) and Farmboy bone in smoked ham is good too (like a decent bit of ham in the UK)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Thank you both! Maybe Ill see if he's got some nice cuts of lamb too.... (not breakfast I know) but I really enjoy lamb, I find metro isn't bad for its range of lamb now.... but obviously you can't beat a butcher.... I have found you get what you pay for in some areas.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

We raise our own lambs and, after doing so, our slaughterhouse informed us that lots of people near us raise them and sell them too. We had no idea as trying to find lamb around here is like trying to find rocking horse shit.

My doctor is my neighbour and his children are in 4H and raise lambs too. He sells them to Asians, I think, for $300 per lamb, butchered as they want them.

We don't buy any meat from any grocery store. We raise our own lamb and chicken and are thinking about raising our own pigs too and any meat we need we obtain from others like us that raise their own cows and pigs. It's amazing how long half a pig/cow will last if you have it butchered as you like it. In Alberta, there is a system called "Loop" whereby local grocery stores provide all manner of food that is about to expire to you for free. You need to pick up whatever they are offering and, in theory, you are not allowed to eat it yourself, but that system provides for all manner of fruit, veg and bread that we feed to our chickens, meat that we grind to make raw for our dogs and, if we raised pigs, would be able to easily feed them too.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

When we lived in the UK one of my daughter’s friends had sheep/lambs. One lamb in particular my daughter helped feed. One day she was at their house having dinner, when her friend said they were eating Snowy. My daughter was distraught. It put her off eating lamb for life. 🐑

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

My wife names all of our lambs and can't be with me when I take them to be slaughtered. She does, however, eat them once they have been returned. Make of that what you will.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Cant use the word Gammon.
Gammon, remoaner, Karen and snowflake among the words added to Ofcom's potentially offensive terms | Daily Mail Online

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The Daily Mail Online will save a lot of server space if it won't allow "snowflake" or "remoaner" in the comments.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Hash and eggs again!
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...0562d24d21.jpg

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Yum! I could just go a couple of fried eggs on toast right now, but it's nearly midnight. I'll have them for brekky in the morning.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Do you make your own corned beef hash? This is the only time I will eat corned beef; otherwise it is pastrami all the way. I've never made it but use the canned version and put to poached eggs on top.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

If I have the real thing I'll use it, and if I don't I'll use canned. The dollar stores often have little half sized cans of corned beef which are handy if you don't want to make a lot. Pastrami would be good. The name hash implies it's going to be what you have on hand, thrown together but I like to have potatoes and carrots cooked beforehand and in the fridge. This would have had a few mushrooms in it as well if they hadn't gone bad on me.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I was going to have sausage and eggs on a bagel because I didn't buy bread yesterday, then I saw a picture of someone eating a noodle bowl and immediately wanted ramen, but I was already cooking sausages... No problem; hot Italian sausages and a fried egg with baby spinach in spicy beef and fermented bean flavour ramen.
For the noodles we are about to receive we are truly grateful,
Ramen

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Ooohoool :whatchutalkingabout

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Yesterday morning I had breaded pork chops and mashed potatoes and gravy for breakfast; I have no adult supervision here at all. That ramen bowl was delicious and I may well do that again today. It will soon be time to have a practice run of breakfast kippers in the lead up to Christmas. 3 wise men from the East arrive, one bearing fruitcake, one bearing sausage rolls, and another with a Lemon Hart and eggnog. All are acceptable breakfast options during the season.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Aussie salad; couple of snags on lite rye with onions, ketchup, and deli mustard.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

A sausage and corn cakes with butter and blueberry syrup. I considered kippers, but the atmosphere wasn't quite right.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Fancy noodle bowl with some carrot and mutton dumplings. I had to be at work early so just pre-cooked the dumplings and microwaved them here then 5 scalding minutes with the rest. I brought lunch too.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had 2 fried eggs on a whole wheat bun and some Heinz Chipotle beans, and would have been content with that, but then my neighbour gave me a little black forest cake, so I had a slice of that too, and now I think I'll have another.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Two cherries per slice? :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I positively hate people who can eat cake for brekkie…especially those that can eat two slices. :frown:

:D

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Hush! Remember Political Correctness. :hysterical:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I would probably eat the entire cake same day, no I know I would....no matter how many times I buy say a cheese cake and promise I wont eat it all in a day, I eat it all in a day. But its not a daily thing of course, a couple times a year tops.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Same here. Chocolate/ice cream/cake/cookies ie anything sweet…I cannot leave it alone until it’s all gone.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:tape:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Mr BEVS would eat all the cake first .

For myself it is one of the very few cakes I might eat, other than carrot cake, but it would be a little at a time over a few days. That is enough for me. Rather have a slice of smoked salmon or a good bit of cheese.

Oh and ..... nice neighbour.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Zucchini cake is similar to carrot cake and I prefer it.
