Yeah, they look so disgusting that I didn't dare try them for the first 18 years of my life.

You only really have them with Fish n Chips.

Chips are NOT french fries. French fries are thin, and cooked in vegetable oil (we have french fries in the UK too). Chips are thick, and cooked (hopefully) in animal fat, although most places nowadays prefer veg oil so that they can sell them to vegematarians.

Good grief, woman! What's the matter with you? I thought you were a Texan. Throw some red chunks in there and you have guacomoli.

They've always reminded me of the Dentrassi food that Ford Prefect gives Arthur Dent to eat when they first get onto the Vogon ship in the TV series of HHGG.

Are you sure you had mushy peas, and not just, urm, peas? Mushy peas are amongst the mushiest things in the world!

Hey! No, that's not what they gave me. It very clearly said on the menu that whatever the other thing I ordered was served with mushy peas, and that picture is what I was expecting to get, with a good degree of uncertainty as to whether I'd eat them or not, but since they just came as a side, I figured give it a try. I was surprised when they came out as whole peas, and then decided it must have just been an odd name for peas (they are definitely different peas than we have in the U.S. - sweeter). I was cheated out of the true British experience! :mad: They must've heard my American accent and decided to spare me the experience. How truly disappointing. :frown:

Those are french fries too. That's how my mom always made them. :approve: The skinny ones are shoestring french fries (you can get french fries in a variety of shapes and sizes).

I thought you said healthy breakfast.

I eat... every morning.

2 Egg Whites
1 Whole Egg, but only eat half the yolk
2 Pieces of Ham
1 Bowl of All Bran Cereal
1-2 Glasses of Orange Juice
2 Glasses of Water

I get a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, while keeping it relatively low in saturated fat. I think I get about 1.5-2 grams of saturated fat, for breakfast.

Edit: All Bran Cereal is plain... no milk.

He did, but we were still hungry, so went for a good breakfast instead, and then it was lunch time, so we started in on that. :biggrin:

:bugeye: No breakfast? Not even a bagel and a piece of fruit to go with that coffee? How do you make it through your day?

I rarely eat breakfast. Don't always get around to lunch until 2 or 3 in the afternoon either. I'm usually pretty hungry by then.

I don't get hungry until I've been out and about for awhile, and then I avoid carbs/sugars because of blood sugar reasons. Though I put cream in my coffee I do wonder about years of drinking it on an empty stomach. Anyway, I don't eat until lunch on work days. On the weekend, I may have brunch. I'm bad, I know.

And he said a bagel and a piece of fruit! :eek: If I do eat breakfast, a piece of fruit is enough for me, or a half of a bagel (I steal the top half with all the good stuff on it :biggrin:).

I guess I'll consider myself fortunate then. I eat whatever I like whenever I like. I like fruits and vegetables and meats and cheese and sweets and just about everything really. Okay, maybe I eat too many sweets, but it certainly doesn't show.

How can you be out of french toast? Or do you mean you're out of either bread or eggs?
