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

Regretfully nothing but a Bloody Mary.

How long is she gone for?

Pancakes and bacon.

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

B......d

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.

Is there any reason why you're not writing for a living instead?

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

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.

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


But I remember 1664 as being very acceptable.

1664 and Stella are my two fave largers.

Lager is my favourite lager.
