My day at work

There’s a few things that as an American I just can’t do when it comes to cuisine from the UK, and they basically boil down to haggis and pudding (black or white). I love getting a full breakfast as much as the next person (and really, anyone that hasn’t tried one is missing out in a big way), but I would gladly give up the pudding any time for some extra bubble&squeak. Or anything else for that matter.

It’s weird too as I love sausage and can it it more or less all day, and it’s not like they are that different conceptually.

A white pudding is practically healthy, deep fried oatmeal. Get a Scottish full breakfast instead. The black or white pudding is replaced with a slice of clootie dumpling. It is a steamed fruit pudding which is stared at suspiciously as it sounds healthy so they throw iit into a shallow frying pan with the sausages and bacon to absorb everything and overpower any accidental nutritional value that may have existed

Nice. I appreciate a good farm brekkie myself. Couple eggs sorta scrambled between 2 pieces of buttered wheat toast with a generous amount of hot sauce. Wrap it in a paper and eat it on the fly. Cows Need feed, everything is broken, heater quit in the truck and the sun isn’t coming for While. Good times.

I do love a good fry up. Irish might be my favorite.

Nice. I had a friend that went through basic training a few months after I did, and I still remember the advice I gave him: “Look, you only get a couple minutes to eat breakfast and you really need the calories. So remember: nearly all breakfast foods will make a delicious sandwich.” Pile it on the bread and wolf it down. Good times :slight_smile:

Sounds like a line from a country and western song. Only things missing are your wife leaving you and the dog dying :joy: :joy: :joy:

Been there done that several times.
I have been in enough food plants to know what to eat and what not to eat on an endless array of foods.

Pro tip - don’t eat Velveeta - ever.

Cheese for the win.

Unless you prefer tofu.

Don’t forget, Scotland is the land of the battered (deep fried) Mars bar. Most Scottish food is based on a plan on how to get a heart attack quicker

This is all very American sounding. I mean, we invented the deep fried turkey.

Americans may have invented deep fried turkey but that was only because the Scots didn’t have access to them. The Scots were the first to deep fry chicken.
