The Pink Loincloth Tavern

[Jeannaisais]

I had two fried eggs and some cream of wheat....with a very tiny hint of bacon.....maybe.....or maybe that was my imagination?

[IzaliaFox]

lol bring in food and the topic switches to food. go figure

[Jeannaisais]

*shrugs* You did it Volke

[demonspawn]

Everybody likes to talk about food... Especially bacon.

 

And that is something that gets me when a vegetarian tries to turn me to the 'Dark Side'... I just retort with "If God wanted Man to be vegetarians, why did he make pigs out of bacon".

 

Argument rendered invalid in one swiftly spoken sentence *nods*

[dragonlover]

na a good old ulster fry is much better than an english fry

[Katiora]

ulster fry??

[dragonlover]

yup much nicer:

A traditional Ulster Fry consists of bacon rashers, eggs, sausages (either pork or beef), vegetable roll, the farl form of soda bread (the farl is split in half crossways to expose the inner bread and then fried with the exposed side down), boxty or potato bread^[8] and wheaten farl.

Other common components that may be added include mushrooms, white or black pudding, fried tomato, pancake and/or beans. All this is traditionally fried; however, in recent decades, people have taken to grilling the ingredients instead.

 

though i dont take bacon or black/white puddings cause i dont like them

When over there the only difference I've noticed is the soda bread or potato bread... And to be honest I wasn't too fussed in either. Although I have been reliably informed that it's much better home cooked as opposed to hotels/B&B's.

 

Oh, actually there was one place that I thought was rather good for breakfast - The Smugglers Inn right on the Giants Causeway.

[dragonlover]

yeah but the potato bread is the best part especaily fried, havent been to that inn but home made is always much nicer, even nicer if u make the potato bread from scratch as well

[Katiora]

i dont' know anything about those types of bread and stuff.... lol

[demonspawn]

Believe me... In Northern Ireland there is a type of bread for every occasion

[The Bard Babe]

My dad made bread the other day...and my mum's been making cupcakes every day or two days...I'm loooving it...but I can't cook anything, I can only burn things.

Sometimes I felt like that in Spain! Well...everyone in Europe really. And its made fresh daily and bought daily and *sigh* oh how I miss espana y como quiero regresar....obviamente porque estoy ahora hablando en espanol

[Masema]

I am sad at the lack of good breads in the U.S. It's more of a standard in other places, but here you get some mediocre imitation.

[The Bard Babe]

Yeah, we're not really a bread place...

[Jeannaisais]

I like bread....especially in Spain.....

[dragonlover]

yup bread everywhere

[The Bard Babe]

he he, I love my bread, but I prefer chips.

 

Chips are the most amazing invention to have come to this earth.

_{Well even though I qualify as a bonified old-timer now, the loincloth still outdates me. lol}

[dragonlover]

OMG sams back!!!!! *dances round in a circle*

[Jeannaisais]

Lol no comment on the bread discussion Sam?

 

[Samuraiflip05]

Hmmm, hadn't thought about it. I have changed recently from white bread to wheat. Potato bread kicks bootay. As for other breads, I am not too explorative with flatbreads and such.

 

Hiya DL, how's it been?

[Jeannaisais]

Wheat bread is awesome! I love it! I'm not sure if I've ever had potato bread....I did have lots of different types in Spain but I don't remember literally half of what I ate!

[dragonlover]

not bad sam just working away till i go off on maty leave, cant wait

[IzaliaFox]

I love Potato bread
