Yep, Full English Breakfast, it's protein with protein on the side...not really my thing, I must say, I like bread-based brekfasts more, but at least I've given it a try now!
Hmm, what
did J&E have for breakfast up there on Brokeback? The book mentions coffee and biscuits, but that sounds rather scrawny for someone who works outdoors all day, doesn't it?
Part of the idea with the bacon pancake was that the batter was supposed to fry in the grease from the bacon, so if you drain it it might stick...then again, the last time I had bacon pancake was before the first time I saw a teflon dish
The Brits have a dish called Toad In the Hole, which has fascinated me for years because it sounds so weird. I mean, Toad In the Hole? In London, I took the opportunity to ask one of the British forumites what it was and it seems to be similar to the bacon pancake, but made with sausages. You put them in an oven dish, pour pancake batter over them and bake. Variations on the same theme.
Thanks for the advice on the okras, gnash! They had lots of funny vegetables in that shop! Chapeaugris and I found something that looked like pieces of the stem from a giant flower, or the trunk of a small tree, maybe two inches in diameter, green on the outside and very porous inside, like it was made from a bunch of white drinking straws. The pieces were about two feet long, we should have taken a photo, because they looked really alien.
(Is that a Heath cap? I have to start wearing it more often!!
