Full English Breakfast
OMG, this!! My favorite meal as a child. Although I always preferred scrambled eggs--went better with the beans. In fact, fuck, I'm making this for tomorrow!! Minus the mushrooms and tomato, true SA Breakfast...Verstaan My?
my favorite part about english breakfast is the raw bacon
One of the few things I miss about NYC was the easy access to myriad, amazing BEC / SEC places. Pizza and bagels as well. I have to walk a half mile in DC to get a BEC where they actually fry the egg on a grill; gtfo with this microwaved egg in a plastic container shit.
And I am a toasted everything bagel guy, two eggs, american cheese, bacon. Hard/kaiser roll is fine, but prefer the toasted bagel. Flagels are also a bomb option with a lower bread quotient.
Flagels are pretty terrific but harder to find in good quality. They go stale so goddamn fast.
only breakfast that matters is a ranger breakfast
i feel like it would be easier to be a food connoisseur if i actually lived near some decent restaurants. and also had money.
My wife complains about this, kind of. When we go to Astoria or Brooklyn to see friends and they have 20 decent restaurants nearby all my wife says is "I wish our neighborhood was like this." I have to remind her we wouldn't have a yard, driveway, or two floors in those neighborhood for what we're paying now.
why arn't lucky charms in the shit tier?
Honestly, check sites like eat24hrs.com and what not to find good mom and pop places in your area. More often then not if you do a bit of digging, you'll find a bunch of mom and pop places that specialize in specific food will blow any chains out of the water. I have a pizza place about 6 miles from my house, absolute best pizza where I live, and i'd go there more often if it wasn't just so fucking expensive like everything else in the bay area, but I've also found other places where the food is cheap, delicious, and filling & cheaper than chains/fast food/etc.
I don't have those things now! Need to get my shit together and move to a decent town.
Eh, my guts can go fuck themselves. I avoid the worst offenders but my current treatment works well enough that I can tolerate a wide enough array of normal food to be satisfying.
that's great, but i live in a town of ~3000. There's the local Moose Lodge, but that's only kind-of a restaurant. Everything else is pretty much on one of two streets, except the chinese place which is on the corner of those streets.
I'm at least 20 miles away from any city large enough for that service to be useful.
Cooking stuff yourself is a good option. Get a smoker or BBQ. Go bananas with recipes. Start a dinner club with people once a month.
Tokitoki, don't take her to Murray Hill in Queens. She'll make you move to Eater Alley, guaranteed.
I'm headed out there over the weekend for Korean BBQ madness.
To be fair, getting the ingredients you need for a lot of foods can be rough in a smaller area. When I grew up in CT, we had to drive an hour away to this small 711-sized grocer just to get some Egyptian food/spices. (Had to go to NY to get the right kind of feta cheese). The first time my parents visited me in Cali, we went to a middle eastern grocer, and spent like 2+ hours there with my dad buying all the stuff he could never get and missed.
[eta] This is not limited to Egyptian food btw.
On that note, r/sweden on r/all has been glorious today.
