If a 6-inch sandwich is bigger than her head I think I understand her problem
""'A pastrami sandwich comes with a good six inches of meat in the middle - how do you get your mouth around something that is bigger than your head?"

You'll have to make allowances, she's a memember of the aristocracy & they're very inbred ;o)
Sounds like a hearty breakfast. A little bit rude of you not to share though.
"And lets not forget faggots...
Well apparently the governor of New Jersey isn't a gay American after all...
...he just enjoys British cuisine."
No...I think you'll find that he is, in fact, a grade A sausage jockey.

Well, the dog did try to pinch a bit of sausage but I chased him down the garden with the butter knife.
No she's not. They range in quality. She just doesn't know where or how to shop properly.
(As for Kobe beef, it comes from special cows that are fed beer, massaged, and kept sedentary, all to increase the fat marbling in the beef. Fat equals taste. Of course it tastes great, if you can afford it. It has the wrong consistency for really good hamburgers, though.)
When did Pavlova tour Australia? I'm not too familar with ballet. Looks good. I like kiwis.
Princess Michael of Kent and her ilk are where peasant revolts come from.

Upon further consideration, I have to admit that I concur with the accuracy of your assessment.
Been nice talking about food with British, Aussie, and American folks. It's almost 5 in the morning here. Time to go to bed and let the morning shift take over. Have a good one.
"American Muffins." That sounds so cute...like debutantes or something! My parents toured England a few years back and had an awesome time. Lovely people; beautiful countryside. "Castles to die for!"
Yep, that's what I remember, though the bread was always fried, and saturated with grease. I always thought the bread was used to soak up the excess lard, as it was the last thing fried up.
I spent 1 1/2 years in East Anglia in the early '90's, around the American RAF bases up there, Mildenhall mostly. Rural farming area, small towns and villages. Horrible food. Everything boiled to death. One restaurant owner even admitted he sometimes got his carrots off the side of the road where the farm tractors went around a corner, spilling carrots off the wagon.
Some very good restaurants, though, such as Tuddenham Mills, a restaurant converted from a 15th Century water mill. In 1992 the water wheel still worked, and the food was very good indeed.
One of the main reasons we were there was tourism (well, we did work long hours, as well). One Saturday morning I and some friends took off to see Warwick Castle.
After passing West through Cambridge on an A route we stopped at what looked like a country truck-stop for breakfast. That was indeed what we had, as the menu consisted of a blackboard behind the front counter that only said in big letters, "BREAKFAST". Breakfast consisted of exactly what you described, all fried in lard, except in that region at that time I only got one egg. Liked the bangers, even though they most reminded me of spicy, greasy, sawdust.
My experience was that if I ate in small town, cheap, restaurants I mostly got cheap, bad food, except for this one Mexican restaurant near one of the U.S. bases. If I ate in better, more expensive restaurants I got better food, sometimes very good indeed.
My vote for worst overall experience with British chain restaurants is the Motorway so-called restaurants.
You're killing me! (drool)
Actually, this is a known issue with a specific variety (unforutnately my favorite, this is why I know this), Red Delicious. For some reason, they have gotten to be like a big bag of sand with seeds in the middle. I read an article in the WSJ a few years ago about this, and why the Fuji apple has grown so popular over the last few years, because they still have flavor. Although I have been getting more and more Fuji "bad ones" as well.
Fujis are very good. You pay more but they're better. THere are other fine apples. One just had to look. I bought some very good Braeburns the other day. I don't go nuts about the diff tastes apples have like some kind of wine connouseur.
I just want a good solid apple.
Talk about mush... peaches are awful these days. I rarely buy them. I had plenty of great cherries this summer. They ship well.... I'm in FL, far away from where cherries are grown.
Mangos are homegrown and delicious down here.
She should have tried the Shepards Pie at the Cheesecake Factory! YUM!!!!
My only complaint about the CF is that if you don't go there knowing what you're in the mood for, you're in some serious trouble! They've got about 947 different items on the menu!
Hey, here's an idea for a thread... "What's your favorite menu item at The Cheesecake Factory!" (and no, cheesecake is NOT a correct answer!)
Here's mine... While I was on Atkins (and I plan to go back on this week), I found an herb encrusted salmon filet, with a side of brocolli (subbed for the wonderful potatos!). But I think that my favorite item is their parmesan cheese encrusted chicken breast!
