What in the name of all that is good in the world are 'home fries'?
Do they mean chips, like what all cockneys strangely have with their cooked breakfast?

Home fries - they're like potatoes that have been boiled (often in their skins), chopped into big chunks, and shallow fried. Yummmm.... :-)

chips, then?

Brownies with cranberries are for the clinically insane, and the best brownies in the world are the ones I make. (Now available without nuts)

Ooh goody, I hate nuts. I'd like to place an order please, for brownies and perhaps some sort of meat pie?

Excellent choice sir. We currently have goose, turkey, venison, or the special which is beef wellington pie, or fillet steak and pate with a light gravy.

Actually scratch that. The beef wellington pie is mine.

Oh man, I'll take one of each!

+1. Or multiple venison ones.

No, not quite.
Fried potatoes.

I know, it's a silly name, but they are good - and not an American invention, haven't you ever fried leftover potatoes? With bacon, mmmm....

Now, I know that the idea of American breakfasts , sweet & savoury at the same time, may scare some of the more timid among you...

I'm not timid, I really will eat most things, and i've tried maple syrup with various things, sweet and savoury... it's just rank. Sorry.

To be fair, I wasn't expecting to like it...but I just couldn't decide between pancakes and a bacon-based breakfast. So I had both. At the same time. It was surprisingly good ;-)

Thankfully I only lived there for 6 months or I'd have super-sized myself !

lol
ye,
iv just thought of a funny story actually,
once my cousin proclaimed loudly (on being handed my mums sugar and fat free variant of flap-jack) that fat and sugar are what makes things taste nice....
so, after he had retired to his room (he was iving with us at the time) i thinly sliced some lard, and aranged it in a attractive spiral pattern, before sprinkling genoursly with sugar.....
he almost ate it......
(unfortunately he worked out what it was when i told him it was the nicest food known to man...)

white pudding on the other hand.....!
its such a shame its practicaly imposible to get hold of in this country...

Black pudding is one of the finest foods known to man. Great with a fry up or for a posher option, with scallops. There is a place called Grazing on Great Tower Street in London (best bacon sandwiches in the City - FACT) that does black pudding and fried egg rolls, absolute magic. They also do haggis

White pudding is also great - you get it a lot in Scotland.

A good burger is a great thing, but I'm not a fan of the big burger chains - they use the sweepings left over after the real meat has been used. It just tastes - grey. Quite like the ones at Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

i do hope cucumbers dpnt go to room 101; you cant beat cucumber sandwhiches in summer, with crusts trimmed off, cut into triangles (not squares - tastes better), sprinkle of salt and pepper, lovely-jubbly. Then

But at top of list has to be cheesecake, eh cheesecake,. Another one is garibaldi bisc uits - they are like squashed biscuits with dead flies in them - yuck.

This is no guarantee of quality. You also get midges and cardiac disease a lot in Scotland. Pudding should be black. White is for girls. FACT.

I've recently discovered that I like cheesecake... I know this is a bit stupid but I never expected it to actually be cheesy - I presumed that the topping would be really creamy rather than cheesy, but I ate some out of politeness and was pleasantly surprised!

Garibaldi biscuits though... I wonder who actually likes them. They're always the ones left in mixed boxes...

for you black pudding lovers here's an idea for you cook some as usual and put to one side.. make some mashed potato (to go with whatever else you're having) break the bp up and stir into the mash... and bam awesome mash

on a different theme also try adding horseradish to mash for more beef type dishes...yum

Ha Ha. How did you know my favoured fishing attire!? Jumped on the boat....it nearly took my arm off before i totally merked it. It had been 'gaffed' hence all the blood.

I was covered in blood by the end of the trip, we arrived back at Montauk and sold the tuna for 300 dollars and then went straight to the local dive bar after not washing for 3 days. I felt like a cave man. The local women flocked :twisted:

"The best answer to the question what is a white pudding is really tasty! White pudding is made into tripe skins and ingredients for white pudding usually contain toasted oatmeal, onions, beef suet, spices and seasoning. Some butchers also use pork meat. Generally a white pudding is sausage shaped though the larger haggis shaped white puddings are also common in Scotland though generally called mealie pudding. Very old traditional Scottish recipes for white pudding also used to contain sheep brain matter which was used as a binding agent rather than for its flavour. Vegetarian white pudding is also available from some butchers and shops in Scotland."

Yum, yum, yum. Black and white Pudding, bacon, fried egg, sausage bread fried in dripping. That lot says "Sunday morning" to me as a kid..... as an adult is says coronary disease, diabeties, obesity, conjealed arteries.

Nominated for 101:

Potted Hough
Scotch Pies - except the very finest ones.
Fish sticks - why?
Oysters - giant salty bogies
Deef fried pies/sausages/mars bars/pizzas - there is just no need
Seaweed - does the name "weed" not give it away?
Haribo - too dam addictive!!

I have got to say, the whole "kew york" thing was probably my highlight of last years threads. I still cannot see Sewinman's posts without laughing my ass off thinking about it.

back to room 101. Tripe. The food, not an observation on the thread.

Was on holiday in florence with my american brother in law, who was following a pretty unimaginative US based diet, so i went all food snob about how one should try the local specialities. In the restaurant that evening, the special was tripe.......

petard. by. hoisted. own. my. rearrange these words to make a well known phrase or saying.

Actually, I'm 101ing it, not because it was offal, or because it was gross, (although i didn't care much for the texture) but because it was actually really, really boring!!!

That's disgsusting. It tasted like garlic or something. I don't think you can take it on plane, can you?

I cannot actually believe that you have had the effrontery to nominate Haribo, particularly as you clearly enjoy it.

He's taking a catholic line, if it's that good it must be bad.

I had tripe salad in Italy.

It was great - Now I know I started this thread anticipating some obvious contenders to pop up - I wasn't prepared for the "If I look at a piece of fried chicken - I just scream" wetness however.

There needs to be a collective bout of Man The Feck Up About Your Food - ness.
