You can't beat a bacon butty...

[MUMMIBOO]

Can't beat a good ole bacon butty but my favourite is pork and apple sausage and a nice runny (not snotty though!) poached egg washed down with a mug of tea got to be tea if eating egg (don't really know why!) mmmmmm.......

Lovely tale Eric but i never had you down as an "anorak"Lol!

Only ever had cold bacon on a B.L.T. which is good. Cold sausage is good too - with English mustard for me though. Have made Scotch eggs a few times for picnics with friends here in Italy and everyone thinks they are amazing.

My Grandma used to make wonderful oven-bottom muffins which were the absolute tops for any kind of butty - used to go off for days out with them up the Trough of Bowland and to Freshfields near Southport - wonderful picnics and she always took full tea-making facilities! No tepid flasks!
Better stop reminiscing or I'll start getiing Maudlin again.

Only tried haggis once Jay -can't honestly remember what it was like. I do remember Finnan Haddock which I had once for breakfast in Edinburgh after my porridge(yum!), the only reason I remember it is so that I'll never have it again, could taste it all day long

"K" to you for the "snotty" egg -haven't heard it called that in years.

Nope, I can't be converted John. I have tried it,(broke one of my own cardinal rules doing it - Never put into your gob something that looks horrible) but found it gruesome.......I would rather eat my own eyeball.
Nasty! Must've been a bad day for meat when they invented Haggis.

You must have got one out of season, they're better fresh, and make sure they've been cleaned too, you don't want to get lead shot stuck in your teeth

It was fresh alright...had the haggis at Gretna Green.......no lead shot in it, but it was like a freshly fried cowpat on my plate. I had to spit it into my hankie......and it took two glasses of orange juice to shift the taste from my mouth. Won't be doing that again!

I was served haggis at a hotel in Scotland when on a Fraser Eagle coach holiday.

It smelt like a sewer, and the first mouthful confirmed it tasted that way too - spat out - not swallowed.
