I was intending to order a goats cheese salad, but then dad ordered first and asked what was on the all day breakfast. I would never of ordered it when I lived in the UK and I don't particularly care for fried bread or sausages. I ate every scrap of it. Mmmmmm.

Got all excited seeing this post thinking you guys were going to solve my "bacon in the US" problem...
So I take it that good English/Dutch style bacon remains a fantasy while I am stateside?
