Today the traditional American breakfast(bacon & eggs) is as popular as ever, especially with traditional bacon is now a fixture in dinner and lunch dishes.
Mmmmmm... Egg white omelets.
/S
Movie theater popcorn.
Something going to kill me eventually, I might as well do what I want.
Oh, yeah. First it was eggs, then it was milk then it was coffee then it was sugar. These people hate mornings I tell ya!
Farmers would eat half a slab of bacon and 3-6 fried eggs and wash it down with half a pot of coffee or whole milk before going to work in the fields. Many of them were still on the same routine well into their 70s and early 80s.
Yes I do. Then again I don’t eat eggs.
Yep.... let’s not forget the hoopla over cow farts as well.
I remember that!
It’s when the basic breakfast at IHOP went from 3 eggs to 2.
yep, but in their defense we were going in closets to suck eggs at that time.
bacon beats bread. Calories less than a slice of bread...and sure as hell tastes better.
Think of egg yolks as a delicious poison.
Like bacon.
As a kid 15 years old until I was 18 I worked for Denny’s Restaurant #3 in Long Beach, California. I cooked primarily the rotating, or “relief shift”. To this day I still love the Denny Burger, and the Pancakes, sausage, and eggs, but rarely go. I cook it all at home. I could do it in my sleep.
Yes I do remember the all out assault on eggs by the FDA, and I do remember raising my Right arm, and doing the famous hand gesture expressing my opinion of their fear mongering.
Yeah. The US govt. officials (experts) ate nuts and berries and died, anyway. And they never knew the joy of a three egg Western omlet with two slices of hot buttered toast, juice, and fresh coffee. Mmmmmmm. Omlets. God created chickens for a reason.
I remember in the 70’s my late wife being very concerned with cholesterol. She was a bit of a healthy food, well not fanatic but close.
And seems I read where a lobbyist wanted to move bacon and eggs so got with a powerful someone who promoted it as a breakfast meal.
“The World Health Organization (WHO) and other public health authorities actually use eggs as their reference standard for evaluating the protein quality in all other foods. Egg protein is usually referred to as “HBV” protein, meaning protein with High Biological Value. Since eggs are used as the reference standard for food protein, they score 100% on the HBV chart.” http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=92
I remember it well, after his heart attack the doctors told my dad they could see the chickens swimming around in his blood...yeah, he smoked 4 packs day from the time he was 12 and worked with asbestos his entire adult life...and they were worried about eggs...
I remember when butter would kill you because “animal fat” and margarine would make you live forever because “made from vegetable oils”.
And I remember when sugar would kill you dead but high fructose syrup would make you live forever because it came from fruit.
Oh hell yeah, lewis grizzard did a great comedy but about it.
I just got done finishing 2 fresh chicken eggs with my dinner. The eggs were fresh off the coop.
