Thanks for the explanation on chicken and waffles -- that does straighten out the confusion!

I've got a full English planned for my wife for Christmas eve morning (she just doesn't know it yet). I'm paying her back for learning how to make a great toad in the hole (one of my favorites) and for locating haggis for me (minus the lights of course, but close enough for me). lol

Now boiled chicken is something I never heard of in the context of English food! I've had it but typically just as a way of stretching the poor fowl out longer. What's the English version? It something like their poached chicken?

Yes the boiled chicken is also called poached chicken. I wish I knew which seasonings my grandmother used when she made it.

Your wife will love the English breakfast. That’s really nice. I’ve never had haggis but would definitely try it.

My grandma also made what she called chilli sauce, which was more like a chutney. I’ve been able to replicate that. I put it in my garbage plate meat sauce. Makes it taste just right.
