Re: Breakfast Choices
 
I just had a great big bowl of lamb soup (nearly stew), full to the brim. My leftover lamb chop that was slightly underdone anyway + the bone from the other one made broth and I used 2 little potatoes, 1 carrot, 2 slices red onion, clove of garlic, 1 tomato, some mushrooms, dash o' wooster, dash o' beef stock, dash o' ketchup, s&p, pinch of chili flakes...
Waste not, want not. I planned this out; I said I'm going to make 1 bowl of soup out of that lamb, and it came off really well.

Maybe it was horrible because it was poached in water? Fish should always be poached in milk, otherwise it gets hard and unpleasant. :nod:

Interesting. A staple supper dish in the AX house is Kedgeree. (Which I know is technically a breakfast dish). Smoked Haddock is impossible to source here so we substitute smoked cod. Seems to work OK. Never tried poaching in milk but I will next time.

I didn't but tbh I'd prefer to support the local supplier of smoked cod. They pivoted to delivery during the pandemic - order placed through FB messenger, payment via EMT and fish turns up on your doorstep!

Now I want some kedgeree. :(

I used to make it often before I got married, but I am not sure I have made it since I got married, and certainly not since we came to the US in 2001. I will have to look into making some. ..... And I only ever made it as a dinner (supper) meal. :nod:

What do you think of as English Breakfast, as opposed to Canadian Breakfast, typically?

I think English is egg, bacon, perhaps a small sausage, grilled tomato and mushroom a slice of fried bread.

I think Canadian is the same but with the fried slice replaced by a hash brown or country style fried potato.

Are there parts of Canada that eat fried bread? We just had the full works, with the fried bread and my husband told me he'd never eaten it before he met me...so it got me wondering...he also calls it heart attack on a plate, and No we don't eat it often, but yum it was good...well worth it...

my grandma always used to do white pudding. Don’t think I have had it since she died.

Good point...I am very fond of it...I've never had white pudding...I bought some black pudding on Saturday at the farmer's market and they had some white there, and it occurred to me that I've never tried it...

All the black pudding I've bought over here turns to mush when cooked. It doesn't seem to hold its 'sliced' shape. Not cheap either.

Nobody should be eating pudding for breakfast unless you're in the 1969 film Kes. A proper full English is two basted eggs, two pork sausages, two or three rashers of bacon, beans, a fried tomato, mushrooms, chips, a fried slice, two of toast and a mug of tea. End of. That's just how proper breakfasts are. They're immutable.

Make your mind up fella! :) Previous musings

I stand by my comments in that thread... black pudding is acceptable (as is haggis in Scotland), tinned plum tomatoes not grilled tomatoes, and definitely No Chips!!
