I was just teasing -- England is not exactly famous for anything more than cucumber sandwiches, yet that seems to be cuisine of the highest order.

[Craig Sawyers]

Nah - that is a Family Guy caricature of English food in the same way as folks on your side of the pond living on hot dogs and burgers. Which is equally untrue - I've eaten exceptionally well in the US

England has actually made great culinary strides in the last couple of decades.

Breakfast. Two pounds of ancho chili flank steak. Some eggs (I like them hard.*)



(*Giggety.)

[Grahame]

Needs Moar Bacon!

Having Colin over? FYI he likes his eggs raw.

[Voltron]

Goopy, not raw

[swt61]

Deck dessert

[Hopstretch]

Three meat brunch. I ignored the collards.



Pulled pork was good. Vinegary not sweet. Brisket was tender but had a boiled consistency. Meh. Smoked chicken flat out sucks. Rubbery skin and feels undercooked in the mouth even when it's done. Bleah.

Eclectic Mill Valley Brunch

 

Not Shown: Honky tonk piano accompaniment

I would think the collards' feelings would be hurt.

[Hopstretch]

They can fuck off.
