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! 🎅🏼
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?)
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.
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:
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...
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.)
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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).😁
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!

I’ve finally decided it’s back. 
Thanks for the advice, it’s working!
It’s like being on a merry go round
