[Soraya_PMR]

You sound as if you had fun!

A nice full English breakfast will sort out your hangover. We’re all stuck with the pred-head. Annoying isn’t it!

Try some coconut oil on your metrofollicles!!!😀😉

[Rocketronzy in reply to Soraya_PMR]

Metroficks. 😂😂Thank Soraya don’t do them any more just a big plate of porridge. 😜 I’ll be taking to Haggies next. 😂😂

🍀🍀🍀

All the best.

[May10 in reply to Rocketronzy]

Nothing wrong with haggis!!!

[SnazzyD]

Hello bloke standing in front of a cruise ship,

Glad you’ve had a bit of a party and can just about type to share it with us. Mind is boggling about the “laser problem”.

[Rocketronzy in reply to SnazzyD]

Laser problem?🙄 o it was a bit too big a bit there no fooil like an old fool eh 😂😂

Thanks Snazzy D🌹🌹

😂😂😂

[SheffieldJane]

You do lighten things up Ronzy, like a little lamp. You in your small corner and I in mine. Have a very happy Christmas and a healthy happy new year! 🎅🏼

[Rocketronzy in reply to SheffieldJane]

Thanks Jane and you too. We’re like old wine get better with age 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[Insight329]

Haha, Ronzy! I bet you’re moving a bit more slowly today; but as you had fun, that’s what counts. I agree with Soraya_PMR in that a good breakfast will help rid you of that hangover. (What’s included in a full English breakfast?)

[Soraya_PMR in reply to Insight329]

Bacon, sausages, eggs (any which way) grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding, fried bread, baked beans at the very least 😉

[Insight329 in reply to Soraya_PMR]

Oh, boy, that sounds gooood!!!

Ok, I'm going to need help. Black pudding? Is fried bread the same as what we refer to as French toast (bread dipped in an egg wash and then fried and served with syrup?) I've never had baked beans for breakfast, but I love baked beans. Are they high carb? Must look and if not periodically incorporate them into my breakfast. Oh, this is making me hungry!!!!

One of the unexpected benefits of this forum is that I'm getting a glimpse into your culture. Some of your slang makes me stop and think - and then smile.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Insight329]

NOOOOOO! Fried bread is fried bread. A slice of bread fried in dripping in the frying pan - savoury, not with syrup!!! Eggs come fried (sunny side up mainly but with crispy edges to the white for preference) but scrambled is also OK. But NEVER mixed with the bread. This seems a serious article:

seriouseats.com/2012/08/gui...

Baked beans should preferably be Heinz but definitely out of a tin. How much carb depends on the sort - there are no-added-sugar ones in the UK. Beans are proteins...

[Insight329 in reply to PMRpro]

Ahhhh...a picture. Thank you! It all looks good except for those eggs. Can I reorder and have them scrambled? (Eggs cooked where you can tell the difference between the white and the yolk gives me the willies. Hard boiled, sunny-side up, over easy, etc. are a no-go.)

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Insight329]

My younger daughter doesn't do eggs with visible yolk and white either... I had wonderful scrambled eggs this morning - freshly made as I approached the breakfast bar in the hotel - with smoked salmon. The prosecco was missing though.

[Rocketronzy in reply to PMRpro]

Didn’t like smoked salmon at one time then Sumat killed.

Love it now. Mmm 😜

[Rocketronzy in reply to Rocketronzy]

Don’t know what happens sometimes

(Sumat killed 🤔🤔😱) should read sumat kicked in. 👍

Then loved Soked salmon.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to PMRpro]

Nothing better than good Hotel cooked food - especially when relaxing on a holiday?!

[nevagivup in reply to PMRpro]

My spouse would never go back to that hotel! The fizz with breakfast in hotel in Europe is his treat to start the day. We once stayed in a wonderful hotel in Belgium that served Bolinger alongside an enormous array of delicacies, as well as all the foods the British want for breakfast, and at the end of the buffet was, wait for it..... .. a chocolate fountain!

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

I see no pictures. 😳🤔

[HeronNS in reply to PMRpro]

OMG I had flashback just then to English breakfasts, especially the baked beans and the crispy greasy fried bread. But don't forget the fried tomato.

[HeronNS in reply to PMRpro]

Black pudding, a childhood fave of mine (am now vegetarian), may be known to North Americans as blood pudding, which is just what it's name suggests. A kind of sausage made with blood and fat and something which holds it all together. It is sliced in rounds and fried on both sides. Sounds horrific, tastes delicious.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to HeronNS]

Yep, Heron!

[Rocketronzy in reply to HeronNS]

Tastes fine sounds disgusting dunit 😱

[Insight329 in reply to HeronNS]

For a person (me) that likes her steak med well to well done because let's be real -- juice is really blood -- this sounds terrible.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

Mmm.

Vampire.

😂😂🍀🍀🍀

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Insight329]

What Soraya said with toast as well - and in Malta recently we discovered an American breakfast was the same plus a burger and fries... The mind boggled!

[Soraya_PMR in reply to PMRpro]

I thought the toast was pudding 🤣

Burger and fries as well is just plain greedy!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Soraya_PMR]

It WAS labelled American breakfast...

[Insight329 in reply to PMRpro]

They may have stretched that a bit. Trade in the fries for hash browns and the hamburger for a steak and you're closer to it -- at least here in Nebraska.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Insight329]

A nice juicy steak for breakfast - now you're talking!

[Insight329 in reply to PMRpro]

One of my favorite things to have for breakfast before carb counting was cold, leftover pizza. But if I had too much to drink the night before, greasy fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy from a little grocery store in the neighborhood. There was something magical about it. I think really it just made me full and helped push me one step closer to a needed nap.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Insight329]

A Man (sorry, woman!) after my own heart, Insight. I find that the leftovers from last night's takeaway Curry or Chinese do the same job. And.. easier still if you leave the fork in the dish ready for a quick start!

[Insight329 in reply to markbenjamin57]

Yep, leftover Chinese, Thai, Korean, indian all do the trick, too. Lol at the fork trick.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

You’re making me feel ill again 😬

Am fine now. 😜

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Insight329]

Not that I do that all the time though...

[Insight329 in reply to markbenjamin57]

Well, darn! I envisioned peeking into your refrigerator and seeing forks and spoons sticking out of all of the containers and straws sticking out of beverage botlles (including wine bottles).😁

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Insight329]

OMG, I hope others amongst You Lot don't think I live that way! In fact I do use a knife and fork (both at the same time) and drink from mugs and nice glasses. But I have a mate who swears that baked beans taste best eaten cold, and straight from the tin with a spoon

[piglette in reply to markbenjamin57]

I remember at school we all used to eat cold baked beans out of the tin.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to piglette]

Obviously a posh school then piglette..?!

[piglette in reply to markbenjamin57]

The absolute tops!

[markbenjamin57 in reply to piglette]

I went to a very special school too - it was Approved by the local Magistrates' Court

[Rocketronzy in reply to piglette]

Yer I rem I used to love Cold beans thought they was much tasty than warm. 😜

[HeronNS in reply to PMRpro]

Washed down with a coke.😲

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to HeronNS]

Not sure which is worse - the idea of coke for b'fast or eating cold beans from the tin...

[markbenjamin57 in reply to PMRpro]

.. Let alone both at once!

[yogabonnie]

It's the RED not the three that's the culprit!!! Fun is worth it!! As long as you didn't bring the lampshade home with you. !

[Insight329 in reply to yogabonnie]

Hahahahaha... oh, that lampshade comment gave me my first big laugh of the day. Thank you, yogabonnie!

Ronzy, you didn’t trade your new cap for a lampshade, did you?

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

Good un 👍 oooo no.

Water till you see the picture

Tomorrow. 😂😂😂

[Soraya_PMR in reply to yogabonnie]

RED: I heard a funny on the radio this morning: drink a bottle of red then fall asleep with your mouth open.......to let the wine breath 😉

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Soraya_PMR]

My sentiments exactly Soraya!

[Rocketronzy in reply to Soraya_PMR]

😂😂😂😂 my impish thought now I am older keep mouth shut and let it exhaust 😱

[Rocketronzy in reply to yogabonnie]

Wow that’s dug an hole through my skull ,years & years ago on my batchular night I suped sum stuff as we did. 😜And when I was spark out a few of them trimmed me up

One of the things is A lampshade on my head. 😂😂 on my next post I’ll put that picture on. Still got it archived.

[Soraya_PMR in reply to Rocketronzy]

Looking forward to that photo!

Could it be a Christmas treat for us PMRites?

[Rocketronzy in reply to Soraya_PMR]

It’s not bad. 👍😂

[markbenjamin57]

Dear ronzy

Clearly, you are sufficiently deranged to qualify for this week's MB / FMB (Full Monty Bonkers) Award for the daftest Post here - and one of the funniest. Keep it up!

MB

aka 'Uncle Bonkers' etc

[Rocketronzy in reply to markbenjamin57]

Still laughing. 😂😂😂😂

[Rocketronzy in reply to Rocketronzy]

They say laughing is really good for us. So forget the Pred and keep laughing.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Rocketronzy]

Head fine now. 👍

But me face and jaw aches with laughing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Insight329]

Ronzy, look how popular your post is. You need to go have fun more often -- it rubbed off on us.

[newgirl73]

Just adding a serious note here..... don't rubbish Eggy bread!! Nothing like it when you rise in semi darkness, stumble to light the fire, at guide camp, to cook breakfast for 36 hungry guides. Whole loaves of sliced bread dipped individually by bleary eyed cook patrol, and then fried on both sides. Served with baked beans, bacon, tinned tomatoes, and tin mugs of tea. All seated on groundsheets on grass. Eggy bread with golden syrup or even better maple syrup extra treat.......! Enjoy yourself.

[Rocketronzy in reply to newgirl73]

Wow that takes me back Newgirl..scouting for 55yrs. Last 10 as Akala loved it.

Happy days. 😃😆😄😊

[Insight329 in reply to newgirl73]

I like this! Did you crawl out of tents, or did you have cabins? I can almost smell and feel the cool crisp air and morning dew. I’m sure they appreciated your efforts

I’d never give a bad review for eggy bread (French toast). It’s carb topped topped with sugar - what’s not to love? Darn.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

Eggy bread and maple syrup 😲

Can’t emagin that 🤔Together 😳

[Insight329 in reply to Rocketronzy]

Give it a try. You might like it. But dont season the bread unless with a very small bit of cinnamon or nutmeg.

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

Yes you maybe right.

Always remember an aunt of mine years ago

Jam & cheese sandwich 😬though it discussting

But it’s fant. 👍👍

[Insight329 in reply to Rocketronzy]

Jam and cheese sandwich does sound a bit strange. But I’ve had a turkey sandwigh that had a small bit of jam with harvati cheese and it was delicious.

[yogabonnie in reply to Insight329]

my Swedish Grandsons live on Cheese and Jam on toast. has to be made just right either Knacke Bread or Toast then butter then jam then cheese. !

[Rocketronzy in reply to Insight329]

Since giving up bread I realy mi jam & cheese 😩

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Rocketronzy]

Cheese with marmalade - the really dark Oxford stuff. Cheese under the lid of a mincepie.

Here fried breaded schnitzel is served with what is effectively cranberry jam...

[piglette in reply to PMRpro]

Cheese with marmalade... no I don’t think so. My father loves Oxford marmalade he particular likes the vintage variety which can sometimes be difficult to get hold of.

[newgirl73 in reply to Insight329]

I was a guide leader for 18 years, and all our camping was 'old school', in that we used use the canvas ridge tents with loose groundsheets and sod cloths with hessian edges that tucked under the groundsheets to help prevent water coming in from outside at ground level. We spent weeks before camp making gadgets to use at camp, like washing up stands from gadget wood we used year on year. It was hard work, but as you say had its magical, memorable side - standing in the pitch darkness doing a last night check on the tents before going to bed and looking up at the stars, sometimes a shooting star; sitting round the embers of the camp fire toasting marshmallows after camp fire singing; and that early morning dewy, chilly first up thrill with the sun coming up. Otherside - wearing black bin bags over wet weather gear in pouring rain! Always told guides and their parents camp goes on in the rain or the shine!! Happy memories. Think all the modern camping aids are brilliant if they encourage people to get out camping and keeping young people involved with nature and outdoors.

All the best

[Insight329 in reply to newgirl73]

Wonderful memories! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

[piglette in reply to newgirl73]

It reminds me of my mother who was county commissioner for the guides at one point. She used to organise jamborees with the old fashioned tents. The rest of the family went to visit her, to discover loads of tents plus a caravan ......... which my mother had organised for herself! We also discovered a load of booze and glasses inside so the guide leaders could come along and warm the cockles. The mind boggles.

[yogabonnie in reply to newgirl73]

OMG yet another English expression. My favorite thing. EGGY BREAD!!! we say FRENCH TOAST

[Insight329 in reply to yogabonnie]

I KNOW! When I first heard 'eggy bread' I thought of egg in a hole or egg in a basket.

Are you having as much fun as I am learning their slang?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to yogabonnie]

Pain perdu or Poor Knights of Windsor (the boozy version)

lavenderandlovage.com/2011/...

[yogabonnie in reply to PMRpro]

love it .. sherry for breakfast! in my Poor Knights of Windsor!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to yogabonnie]

I'll stick to prosecco and smoked salmon with my scrambled eggs...

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to newgirl73]

Didn't rubbish it - but it isn't what you want for "The Full English"! The sugar belongs in the toast and marmalade and cup of tea!

[Jackoh]

Normally would have loved to read all this re English breakfast - one of my favourites. Although eggy bread ( which I love) with maple syrup sounds a little weird. Also adding steak or burger to the breakfast sounds a little too much for me. Having just finished antibiotic for UTI can't face eating anything because of the nausea so the moral of this story is enjoy your food and your wine while you can!!

[Soraya_PMR in reply to Jackoh]

Eggy bread, maple syrup and fresh mango, melon and pineapple is one of my treats. Yum!

[Rocketronzy in reply to Soraya_PMR]

One time in Scotland we had a B&b there was 14 things on the plate. The size of the plate 😱 it was good 😜 best breakfast ever

The following day we cut down on a lot of em.

One of em Aggie’s

Looks like we have worn this

Forum out. Closed for maintenance tonight. 😱😂

All the best to you all

🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹

[Rocketronzy in reply to Soraya_PMR]

Wow yes of course. Sorry if anyone reading all this if you are in hospital on nil by mouth

Etc. 😲 sorrieee 😳

All ways remember after a long

Time nil by mouth

Said I could have some toast

I couldn’t Evan chew it 😬😩

[yogabonnie in reply to Soraya_PMR]

oh now THAT sounds wonderful We ALWAYS put maple syrup (real not flavored) on our French Toast. and butter!

[Insight329 in reply to Jackoh]

May you recover quickly!

[Jackoh]

Thank you Insight.
