Thanks for the kind words Kat 🙂 And I can’t agree more on the full English, I am not sure my constitution could handle it these days – last time I was home in the UK I had *deep fried* black pudding by itself, which promptly required a five hour nap.

Thanks for reading along!

Even though I nearly suffered a gallbladder attack reading about the traditional English breakfast. Also, I find it funny that the first comment to this story came from Prague, where I lived for years. I grew up eating Czech food (imagine a fusion of German and Slavic cuisine, or just go have Bohemian Brewery’s delicious pork shank with sauerkraut and finish with a fruit dumpling). Now I live in Utah and enjoy the selection of eateries here. Thanks for always finding new cool places for us!

Thank for the kind words Chip, and also the confirmation I am not alone in my fast food DNA 😉

Thanks! We cook all sorts of complicated, delicious meals at home. I still require one Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese once a month.

Yeah I love learning the history and trajectory of foods. How lobster was once seen as vile and disgusting and given only to prisoners, and today…. Also the popular growth of Turkeys for T-day and Christmas, only a 75-100 years ago in the UK, it was all goose (terrible stuff).

I always find it funny how some foods are incorporated into certain cultures while others remain forever at the margins. Potatoes (originally from the Andes) as an integral part of US/UK diets for example, or rice (originally Asian) as essential to every other Latin American national dish (bandeja paisa, pabellón criollo, arroz con pollo, lomo saltado… and a long etc).

Thanks for the kind words 🙂 I will admit to being a rice and egg lover too, certainly I only picked that up later in life, as for a big portion of my early life, rice was some strange exotic grain. Potatoes all the way hehe.

Thanks Mark! Here’s hoping we can get past the current state of world affairs together, I’d love to get back to traveling too!
