I’m fine with the beans, it’s the dread black pudding (“essentially congealed pig’s blood in a length of intestine”) I can’t fathom.
I’ll stick with my 'ol fav: soymilk and an apple.
A glass of OJ? What insanely heathy part of the Continent have YOU visited?
Continental Breakfast is two rolls, a huge cup of hot milk with a little coffee in it, and eight cigarettes.
I’ve apparently been eating far too many Americanized “healthy” continental breakfasts… 
Now that’s messed up!
Where’s lunch? The shoe store? 
I hear they’re having breakfast at Tif…
No…too easy…
Um…ok. I need to finish my posts before I hit submit.
I was going to say that some supermarkets even here in the States have cafes in them. I can see eating breakfast in a supermarket.
There’s been a trend in the UK over the last few years for very large out-of-town supermarkets. Large car parks, free bus services, creche facilities, cafes, post office services, pharmacy services, you name it.
My thoughts exactly, Eonwe. That OP had Monty Python written all over it.
I hope your supermarket tomatoes are better than ours, which basically resemble spheres of pink granite in consistency and taste. Does the table service include a mallet and trepanning chisel?
The heck with the British arteries, how about the British palate?
(Although I have to note in defense of Merrie Old Cuisine that the only real difference between fried bread and French toast is that the latter is soaked in beaten eggs before being fried.)
I adore fried bread. Preferably with olive oil and minced garlic.
Ah. A 1990s-style death crouton.
Aw, c’mon. You really expect us to believe that the waitress couldn’t remember this woman who is, out of all the hundreds of people the waitress serves every day, surely the most important and most memorable one?!
:rolleyes:
“I’m having beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, baked beans, beans, beans, beans, and beans!”
“Baked beans are off!”
“Well, could I have her beans instead of the baked beans then?”
Oh, pleeeese tell me you’re kidding?
Nobody really eats that crap do they?
Ah, the secret history of the modern world. The French conquer a place, the British immediately attack in the hopes of getting a decent meal.
Note for the Humour Impaired: as I am currently involved in the pit for one serious comment and one frivolous comment, I will be unable to deal with national outrage or serious historical debate until about Tuesday. In the meantime, please feel free to consider the above a throwaway line not worthy of your time and attention. I abjectly appologize to the British, the French, the colonized peoples, and to the Germans for not mentioning them.
Faber beans with liver…YUMMMMM
** astroboy ** for your info [and anyone elses] fried bread is not made in a pan FULL of hot oil ** crusoe ** here is the method
A LITTLE oil is poured into frying pan and heated until smoking and then the bread is put into the pan, allowed to fry on one side for about 90 secs and the turned over for a repeat performance.
Comes out lovely and crisp, try it.
CRUSOE being a soft suvvener hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about. We Northerners on the other hand are real hard men 
** possum stalker ** black pudding is pigs blood WITH chunks of fat in it.
You can deep fry it, boil it,grill it but it must be eaten with ENGLISH mustard.
Stuff that built the Empire boys.
distant trumpet sounds “taps”
