... is my favorite meal. Hands down. I 'could' eat it three times a day and thrive.
I've done it a thousand and one different ways, yet always settle back to the simple eggs, bacon or sausage, and toast. I do eggs however it strikes me to do them... recently, though, i tried something new (to me), and I'm quite angry nobody has ever shared with me the key ingredients before. It'll now be my go-to...
freakin' cottage cheese. a table spoon for each egg when scrambling. add, of course, salt, pepper, whatever spices (i have a list of them i add), cheese (because i'm a cheese feign) and little strips of filo dough... butter a muffin pan and pour it in the cups leaving about a third exposed as these guys expand... toss in some already cooked ground up sausage or pieces of bacon..... holy mudd...... if there is a better way to do eggs, i'm all ears... this from a fella who 'usually' goes over easy and has been perfectly content with that.. until now...
and... risen from the dead:
buckwheat pancakes.. my grandmother used to make them for me, and nothing since has ever come close to them. she used cottage cheese in them opposed to ricotta... that's all i remember about them... these guys were thin and more akin to crapes than pancakes, not only because they were thin but they had that elastic like quality. they were, though, buckwheat- the only thing available to her and her family when she was growing up. I thought they were long gone only living in memory, but as it turns out a family member (of which i have very few and still less that i talk to) found her recipe 'box'... and they're putting together a recipe book... I can't say yet that the recipe for these are in there, but... it's the best hope in 50 years i've had to ever taste those things again.
glad to see y'all have read this far. let's go a little further, and as posted down south of here: there is a argument here taking place, here, and i just don't have the time to deal with it. if i had the time i don't know that i would. the central argument is respect- and it is lacking. it's lacking all around - yet with one person involved i've entrusted the keys to this place. that person has the 'say so' here... period... the folks involved know what i'm talking about. for others, know this: i'm on the rail about the future here. it costs me a lot of money to maintain this place- around $4k a year on a dedicated exclusive server. I run other websites on the same server, but if not for this place i could use a shared server for maybe $200 a year for all of them (of which there are four, total). I give one of those sites to another member because it's just sitting there if someone isn't using it... it wouldn't take much to push me over the edge and just unplug the entire thing, and this arguing is one of those things. we're grown fucking men. we're supposed to be, anyway. have respect, give respect, expect respect. anything else, expect what you contributed right back at you.
in the future... if a discussion about religion is taking place and you've got nothing to contribute to enhance the discussion except the same old BS we're all already very familiar with, just stay the hell out of it... likewise, if you have a scuff up with someone in one thread, either complete or continue it there or bury it- carrying it from one thread to another is BS.
try the eggs when you get a chance. if the recipe for the buckwheat pancakes in fact exists, i'll share it- the planet has gone too long without them already. Please heed my comments about the forum. y'all have a good day.... one best begun with a sound breakfast.

I'm gonna try the eggs
gotta get some cottage cheese
-
From my maternal grandmother's recipe circa 1920's (I think she got it from her mother who was from Tallahatchee, Mississippi):
- 1 cup buttermilk, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon white sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons butter
- In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- In another bowl, mix together white flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Pour dry ingredients into egg-mixture. Stir until the two mixtures are just incorporated.
- Heat a griddle or large frying pan to medium-high heat, and place 1 tablespoon of butter, margarine, or oil into it. Let butter melt before spooning batter into the frying pan, form 4-inch pancakes out of the batter. Once bubbles form on the top of pancakes, flip them over and cook them on the other side for about 3 minutes. Continue with this process until all batter has been made into pancakes.
Yield: 2 servings
Give it a try - I have had a hard time finding buckwheat flour, so I usually make my pancakes from Bisquick, lol.
-
My dad's simple crepe recipe:
1 cup eggs
1 cup 2% milk, or 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 water
1 cup flour
- Mix together, beat smooth, and refrigerate 2-24 hours (optional, but results in lighter crepes)
- If refrigerated, add 1/8 cup additional milk and mix until smooth
- Heat a pat of butter in a 9" curved wall frying pan, and add small amount of crepe mixture, swirling in pan to cover as thinly as possible. When surface is dry, flip to seal other side. When cooked, remove.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter each time.
Multiply recipe as desired.
Serving suggestions: Rolled with powdered sugar. Also quite good rolled with leftover meat / vegetables in sauce. Two common servings we did were ham & broccoli in a cheese sauce, and a beef / vegetable / brown gravy prep. Lots of room for experimentation/interpretation (which is common with anything my dad cooks lol...)

Finding buckwheat will present its own problems. The real stuff, anyway. Its not a wheat, at all.
It doesn't rise like wheat does, explaining the crape like quality. I recall plainly the cottage cheese in the buckwheat pancakes, and her saying "nobody has the money for the fancy ricotta, and this is better anyway". I wouldn't know as I've only had them her way.
I tried some in a locally owned diner once, but they were absolutely nothing like hers. They were far more like Bisquick (which i make regularly, too). Its the earthy flavor I seek, not the texture so much but that was nice too...
Strangely, the only way I can explain it reasonably in my head is the difference between, say, a Belinda or Macanudo of Dominican origin (cigar) and a el ray demundo especial of Honduran... that earthy almost leathery texture translated through tastebuds of the el ray demundo is similar to that of real buckwheat.

Bloody Mary and a beer back for me

Screwdriver, Mimosa, Grayhound, Salty Dog, Guinness. All make a fine breakfast.

When people ask "how do you like your eggs cooked?" they are only willing to accept a small range of answers. If you were to say "benedict" or whatever Drew's concoction is called, they'll look at you like you've lost your mind.

Beer - it's not just for breakfast anymore

just add a raw egg!

Cindy makes a great version of huevos rancheros with avacado slices on the side. Only I'll fry the eggs sunnyside up instead of in an oven over the rest 🤩

This may come up shortly in the Travels & Impressions thread, but when we take my son to Purdue & Michigan for college tours, we're doing dinner at Triple XXX when we arrive in West Lafayette. And I already know I'm going to order the biscuits & gravy.
As OAM says, it's not "breakfast food". It's anytime food :57:
-
saw that place on TV, I was a bit disappointed.
my expectations were slightly different
but, I'd certainly go there and try the food, looks great

Here we go!!! Buttermilk fried chicken fried chicken, cheddar, bacon, Evetta Farms egg, house sausage gravy, hot sauce, tots, pickle in a giant grilled burrito.

I'll eat pizza for breakfast. But I wouldn't order a pizza for breakfast. It's typically leftovers when I do that.

Breakfast taco with pickles? Stoopid yankees.
-
I was gonna try to think of something Cajun to contribute, but I can't think of any breakfasts specific to my peoples.
With breakfast, I often take the Ron Swanson approach:
Give me all your eggs and bacon.
I'm afraid what you heard was "Give me a lot of eggs and bacon." What I said was "Give me all your eggs and bacon."

Not with "breakfast foods" being a thing and pizza being excluded. Open the pizza joints, and people will order.

Go for it. If the market is there, you'll make a killing!

Not until the idea of "breakfast food" isn't a thing anymore.
Go buy a "baby names" book, whydontya?!?
The funny thing is that if you did have a pizza joint open in the AM, it would have to offer a breakfast pizza and it would be the top seller during those hours...for at least a couple of years.
Because we are slaves to tradition and lobbyists.

Don't fall for "brunch!" It's just a way for the egg lobby to work it's way to noon! :57:
-
We never do brunch.
-
For a while my circle thought I was crazy for my breakfast, but a little over two years of doing it every day, I feel better then I have in a long time.
Two over easy eggs
Mix of vegetables cooked fresh every morning -green, red, orange pepper, asparagus, red onion, sliced garlic, broccoli, zucchini, summer squash, lions mane mushroom, shiitake mushroom, Roma tomato
8-10 oz steak - strip, Flank, outside skirt, sirloin, delmonico or bison version of each and some days a mix.
Labor intensive and not cheap, but being healthy is worth it.

How about lupper?
Dinnight snack?

I really need to. So many of my buddies are avid hunters so I have access to it. It’s also likely much more inexpensive than the bison.

In Austin they're called breakfast tacos, not breakfast burritos. Unless they're on really, REALLY big tortillas.

Out of curiosity...
- On what percentage of days do you eat a "real" breakfast? I.e. something that is at least minimally cooked/prepared. And by "minimum" I'm talking it at least goes into a toaster and gets covered in butter / cream cheese / etc, or is cereal with milk in a bowl that you sit at a table to eat...
- On what percentage of days (inclusive of above) do you eat *anything* before lunch?
For me, #1 is well under 10%. I rarely cook/eat anything for breakfast. Even on weekends when we have the kids, I'll give them cereal or waffles/bagels in the toaster, but usually won't "make" anything for myself.
#2 is probably more often, maybe 30% or a little more. It used to be even less. It increased when we got our egg cooker, because it's super easy to hard boil eggs and have them on hand, so when I remember to eat, I'll do two hard boiled eggs with salt & pepper. And I've tried to get to the point where I eat something on golf days, especially as I usually walk the course, so I keep my energy level up. But I often don't even make it a priority to eat, even when doing a morning Peloton ride, unless it's 60 minutes or longer.
I tend to think I'm an outlier. I know a lot of people who if they haven't eaten before 1-2 PM feel physically ill, whereas I can occasionally forget to eat or not feel like eating until dinner and think nothing of it.
What about you guys?

I have a smoothie almost every day. 45 grams of protein.

Pretty much like you. On weekdays, 3 out of 5 days I probably don’t eat anything until around lunch and when I do it’s a cookie, pop tart, apple, banana, whatever. I will say over the winter my kids didn’t play any sports so we had more lazy weekends where I could cook a late breakfast, and I did that several times. But I only eat a “real” breakfast probably 2-3 times per month, and it’s almost always on a weekend. But my downfall is I don’t eat that much during the day and then go workout right after work. Then after I workout I’m really hungry. So from like 5 until I go to bed I’m constantly eating something.

Basically 100%. I'd be hangry to the point of being unfit for work by the time I showed up if I didn't eat something. Even on weekends, I never go past 8:30ish without eating something.
On #1, that's 100% by your minimum standards. What I think of as a "real" breakfast almost always happens for us for dinner (supper-dinner, not lunch-dinner).
-
When I offered "breakfast" I was speaking of the traditional foods NOT timing... I dislike mornings and have to have a good reason not to be in bed before 12-1a... staring at the ceiling is the biggest waste of time there is. Unless you're an out of work painter in Italy or a tourist at the same.
It's the foods I enjoy.
Before 4p? I'm at least ten mugs of coffee deep, probably a quarter pack of spirits and as much as two tins of skoal into it... nicotine, caffeine, and straight hate, yall... the breakfast of survivors. Around 6p the grazing begins. When I slow down I'll cook, or stop long enough to eat my wife's dinner... I cook breakfast foods then, and wonder why I don't eat it every morning.... just to kick off the next morning at 6a full of hate and trying to balance it out with caffeine and nicotine.
Then, out of nowhere, I'll spend all day smoking a standing ribeye roast or brisket, ribs or sausages, preppin sides and leveling up the desperate situation of alcohol absence. I'll often make breakfast on the griddle adjacent the grill and smoker while doing this. Life is a weird flow.

My wife makes egg bites a couple times a month. She does a Starbucks egg bites clone with ricotta I believe, which is pretty interchangeable with cottage.
Got our first cutting of asparagus yesterday so threw that in a frittata this morning. Pretty great

Christianity, in an effort to supplant the pagan religions, "conveniently" has their major holidays at the same time of year as those religions. Christmas is close to the winter solstice. Easter is close to all the spring fertility rituals that were common in those pagan religions at the time.
Bunnies (you know they $&#^ like rabbits) represent fertility. So do eggs.
Is it any surprise that they subsumed the things that represented those celebrations to attract people away from them? Not to me.

I think you're lying to yourself.
Has it ever occurred to you that people might just enjoy "breakfast foods", or even eggs, for reasons that have nothing to do with the egg lobby?
I mean, different times of day require different nutritional sustenance--especially back in the "olden" times. Breakfast was the meal that fueled you for a hard day toiling in the fields (or factories). As such, complex carbs like pastries were common. Porridge (complex carbs) were common. Eggs (lots of protein and energy in a compact and cheap package) were common. Even when you look at other cultures, like China, congee is basically the same as porridge and was common.
The idea that we have something called "breakfast foods" isn't a conspiracy. Our dietary needs aren't the same in the morning as they are in the evening. Long before we had a USA, long before we had an "egg lobby", the fact that people ate different foods in the morning than the evening was common.
I realize you don't like eggs. I have my own hangups--I don't like coconut. But I don't spend my days acting like people who like coconut are lying to themselves, or they're falling victim to the "coconut lobby", because they like something I don't.
-
I love eggs, in a wide variety of forms. I know people who do not like eggs. I'm not right or wrong and neither are they. I spend zero time caring whether or not a person likes eggs.

Wow, you don't give me much credit at all. Noted.
Lunch/dinner/supper foods all have complex carbs and protein. That's a nonsense pseudo-lesson. Porridge? I give you mashed potatoes. Pastries? I give you rice. PASTA! Cheap protein? I give you fish or chickpeas or peanuts/butter or chicken or beans or yogurt or.......
"Breakfast" foods are horse shit. Food is food. Your effort to defend the science behind it only served to defend the traditions behind it.
Anyone who enjoys eating an egg over 100 other foods has something wrong with them. It's not because I dislike eggs, it's because eggs never became popular because of the taste. That's why there's 37 different ways you eat them - because on their own, they suck. Eggs exist as a thing due to only 2 factors: convenience and price, historically or now.

Eggs are a traditional breakfast food in the US because working men needed cheap calories and protein. It doesn't take much to have some chickens. Why do folks eat grits? Same basic reason, it preserves corn, it's cheap, easy to fix, and when one adds butter it has fat and calories.
Biscuits? Same deal. People were eating eggs for breakfast long before there was any egg lobby.
As cities grew and dominated the population, industrial egg production took off and an egg lobby was created to make eating eggs seem fashionable, or something. Urbanites don't eat eggs as much as country folk I suspect. Around here, shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles are popular for weekend breakfasts out.
I don't really understand either that much, but whatever.

I'm having some Pho that I made yesterday.

My wife is big on fruit smoothy things every morning. They are fine with me and saves me doing anything (except on weekends where sometimes she asks me to make egg something).
Eggs are neat because one can cook them any number of ways that end up being pretty different. Her favorite is over easy on top of an English muffin or piece of bread. Fine with me, grab the hot sauce. There are omelette stations on the cruise ships that are pretty good. An odd thing, to me, is baked beans for breakfast, I'm told the Brits like that. They offer a tray of baked beans on the cruise ship. No grits, unfortunately.

And cold cuts and sausages. I like European breakfast. I can make a ham and salami sammitch at the buffet (or on a ship). And pair it with hash browns or roasted potatoes.
Room service is a bagel, salmon, cream cheese, capers and onions.

We have always gone to the buffet for breakfast on a cruise. They offer it in a sit down restaurant, but we're never tried it. If the weather is decent, we take our plates outside on the aft deck, which in the shade often is nice. I tried putting some baked beans on top of roasted potatoes and it was good enough that I did it fairly often. They are a bit spicy, the beans. They offer massive amounts of bacon which goes fast, and they bring it out fast, people like bacon apparently. It's not really the way I like it, so I go with sausage.
My wife does not like breakfast sausage at all. I gather it's not a thing in France.
They offer a lot of fruit which I get fairly often with some yogurt. The quality of the fruit varies perhaps depending on when they restocked and at what port. They can only take food from "accepted vendors", which I suppose makes sense given the news about norovirus and whatnot. Something contagious on a cruise ship would be bad.
We managed not to get sick. I often catch a cold after a long flight. I've taken to washing my hands pretty seriously, maybe that helps now. We might be done with super long flights now, though I'd like to see New Zealand someday, maybe.
-
Yeah, fruit is hit or miss on a cruise ship (or really anywhere). But if it's a miss in the store you just don't buy it.
-
My wife likes Trader Joes a lot, which is fine with me. She will claim the apples there are better than Krogers. In my experience, they are all the same, highly variable, some good, some not, same with Whole Foods ($$$). At times, I've noted to her than the apples I got at Kroger are quite good, if they are, and those she got at TJs are mediocre, but it doesn't seem to alter her opinion. I really think the apples all come on the same truck so to speak.
I thought the pineapple on the ship was really good, but she claimed they were too sour. Ok then. The watermelon was good at times, and had little flavor at other times, same with cantelope. I presume they restock at various ports. They told me all their meat came frozen. That surprised me. The steaks were pretty good. I usually get a sense when meat has been frozen.
We had an interesting tour of the innards of the ship, including the kitchen and a chat with their top chef. It's pretty amazing, to me, the operations are ... not simple.
-
The quality of fruit salad is directly and solely judged based on the % of cantaloupe and honeydew that is in it. The lower the %, the nicer the joint. If there's none, you've won the game of life.
-
The quality of any "fruit salad" is judged by individuals whose opinions of course will vary.
But, on occasion one can find "really good", which to me means unusually fresh, which is rare.
-
I'm sorry, replace 'quality' with 'cost.'
Cantaloupe and honeydew are cheap garbage fruit.
-
Knowledge is recognizing that tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
-
I'm not sure many fruits are not basically the same thing, a softish gel of sugar that often tastes sweet and has purported health benefits.
In Cincy, we'd get these large ribbed catelopes in August that were excellent, folks called them "Indiana melons". In France, there is a region that features really good cantelope, they are smallish. The typical western cantelope we get at "Kroger" is pretty bland, to me.

My favorite is really good fresh just picked apples. Among the worst are old soft mealy apples.

Much like tomatoes, super market cantaloupe is picked green and never fully ripens. Crappy.
Ripe cantaloupe with pepper is one of my favorite summer foods. But for whatever reason, I really don't care for watermelon.
The regional melon dialect kinda cracks me up. Around here, there are people who use "cantaloupe" and "muskmelon" as interchangeable terms (kinda correct), and there are people who swear up and down that "muskmelon" is a term for a variety of melon originating from Muscatine, IA. While Muscatine melons are a "thing," they're just cantaloupe from Muscatine.

Had some nice scrambled eggs with onion, tomato, spinach, and cheddar. A couple slices of thick cut homemade bacon. And a glass of OJ .

@Drew4UTk (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) 's scrambled eggs were a SUCCESS!!!
Daughter and I both enjoyed them - I didn't find the philo dough so just greased the muffin tin and made biscuits. Also had some extra bacon
Bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, red bell pepper, and green onions went into the scrambled eggs

Got a little win on this front.....the local Panda Express opens at 8:30 am now. Because there's no reason for it not to.
The message is spreading!
-
Panda Express for breakfast sounds horrible.
I sometimes like to hike in the wee early AM hours though, after which I might be ready for "lunch" at what would normally be a breakfast time. Like 10 or so.
-
Panda Express is horrible 24/7/365.
-
Panda Express @ anytime sounds horrible.
-
Breakfast is the only meal of the day that I tend to view with the same kind of traditionalized reverence that most people associate with Lunch and Dinner. I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon...
The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crepes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned beef hash with diced chiles, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of Key lime pie, two margaritas, and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert…

Probably depends where you are. Didn't feel like the food was weird in downtown Shenzhen or Shanghai. I'm sure in more rural or poorer areas (which might have been where this factory was being built of course), they eat whatever they can.
But hell, that's a pretty weird criticism from someone who lives in a state where people commonly eat dinosaurs alligator :57:

I've eaten a lot of "weird" Chinese, French, Cajun, Spanish, Italian, and Mexican food. Including snakes, intestines, all parts of the head, snails, sea snails, feet, and a lot of other things that mainstream Americans typically avoid.

You can go to an Asian market in the US and get cans of pickled crickets, quail eggs, and all kinds of nasty stuff. Then there's soul food with chicken guts, pigs feet, hog jowel, chitlins, etc. You needn't go overseas in order to find gross things to eat.

Never had much gator in Florida. Maybe up in the Pensacola area.
Had lots of gator in Louisiana.

Louisiana is into gator far more than Florida from what I understand.
Have not spent much time in Florabama, so I can't really offer comment.

I was thinking of the late,great Cricket when tapping that out
Guy Fierri once took Triple D down the Mississippi. From Mom & Pop places at the top of Minnesota Head Waters thru The Big Easy. He basically hinted, wink-wink,nudge-nudge that you could still get livestock brains if you knew who to ask. If true it rightfully was big no-no when Mad Cow was flourishing but the old timers depended on such delites during the depression and they prolly knew how to serve it up
I'd eat cricketts but it would have to be seasoned and roasted,frying would cancel out the nutritional value ;D

I tended to get McDonalds breakfast on my way to work sometimes, because 2 of them are on the way.
I like to order extra bacon on my breakfast sandwich.
On the receipt, it's called "two half-strips of bacon"
One strip of bacon?
NO!
2 half-strips.
FFS.
Anyway, at the one location, it's 99 cents. At the other, it's $2.49.
$2.49 for a strip of bacon.
So one location gets my business and the other is still open...somehow.

Well, that might actually be more accurate.
If they said it was one strip of bacon, cut in half, that would suggest they cut one strip of bacon in half, and gave you both halves.
If they've got a bin full of half-strips of bacon (more likely), it's highly improbable that you got two pieces of the same strip of bacon.
Knowing how lawyers work, it wouldn't shock me if some McD's lawyer deliberately made that call. Because they do a good job of anticipating "how could we possibly get sued?" and then trying to avoid that.

Had a fair-but-not-a-ton of gator in my younger life. It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Somebody said chicken with less flavor....that's pretty much my take on it as well.
I once ran from a gator on a nature trail off the highway I stopped at. Amazingly, it was a public park with a path through a swampy area known to have gators, which has no fences. Afterwards I briefly wondered how many people die there each year and how any of it is a good idea. I think I just assumed it must be safe or there wouldn't be a park with signs and stuff. I saw a few in the water on either side of the walkway and began to notice there were no barriers. Then I saw a giant one laid across the trail, head in the water, but it's body on the incline up to the walking path and it's tail reached all the way to the slope on the other side of the path. He was a big'un. Step over him or nonchalantly turn back?
Neither.

Gators tend to go away from people. If you just stepped towards it with noise, it'd have disappeared into the water (although a large one may just smirk and eat you).
My thing is that the state must be confident there are no crocs in that area, which are more aggressive. And there are crocs in the US.
In any event, places with lots of gators tend not to have any stray dogs.

Supposedly, gators can only run fast in a straight line and can't turn/zigzag for shite, and their muscles which open their mouths are quite weak compared to their clamping muscles, meaning it's not hard to keep their jaws closed.

Now, I am not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt. But I work a lot with our company legal team because they have to vet anything that we publicly release, so I feel like I've got a decent sense of what makes them uncomfortable... There are areas where they call out specific things because they're legally defined. There are a LOT of other things where they ask questions just to make sure that we have the evidence / logic such that if we're questioned on a claim, we can justify why / how we came up with it.
"Mammoth" is not a legally defined term (outside of the extinct animal, of course). You could call a burger a Mammoth Burger, or a Gargantuan Burger, or a Colossal Burger, even if it was the size of a slider, without legal fear. The market will crush you and the internet will call you stupid names if you do that, but I doubt any lawsuit would stand up in court.
However, if you use something that is legally definable, and then don't live up to it... That's a problem. For example if a company came up with a 1/3 lb burger and it was found out that they were only using 1/4 lb of beef... Oh yeah, you're screwed.
BTW that's why you'll typically see a little asterisk, and a footnote for the asterisk, saying it's "uncooked" weight. Because they can't perfectly predict the amount of moisture loss during cooking, so as long as they know they started with 1/3 lb (~5.3 oz) of meat, you can't sue them if you take the cooked burger patty off the bun and it only weighs 4 oz.
In fact, the only problem with calling a burger a "Mammoth Burger" is that a nervous lawyer would force you to asterisk/footnote it saying that it isn't woolly mammoth meat :57:

Laugh but there is this:
https://www.adn.com/alaska-life/2023/05/07/mystery-meat-of-1951-did-an-exclusive-club-eat-a-frozen-woolly-mammoth-from-the-aleutians/
Woolly mammoth bodies are regularly discovered in the far north, partially preserved by colder climates. In 1901, zoologist Otto Herz led a team into remote Siberia, where they disassembled a mammoth frozen into a cliff above the Berezovka River. While the stench was memorable, parts of the animal appeared almost fresh, including bits of marbled flesh that Herz visually compared to beef. He wrote, “We wondered for some time whether we should not taste it, but no one would venture to take it into his mouth.” Instead, his team fed portions to their dogs, which survived and perhaps even enjoyed the experience.

So what exactly is a good breakfast, in your opinion? Presumably eggs are out. And smoothies, I guess, or you wouldn't sigh at someone drinking one for breakfast.
A truly good breakfast would be something with complex carbs and high dietary fiber, say Brussel sprouts or broccoli or cabbage.
I was pondering a typical US breakfast, maybe a cinammon roll etc. and how they generally are not very nutritious. Most breakfast cereals fall into this camp, a lot of sugar, simple carbs, maybe a touch of fiber, probably not. They advertise Cheerios on this basis but the facts don't back it up much. Oatmeal is a decent breakfast until one adds sugar etc. to make it taste palatable.
My wife usually makes "smoothies" for breakfast which I drink, I'd guess they are better than many things, but still not all that great.
The five major US food groups: Sugar fat caffeine alcohol and salt.

Do you guys prefer pancakes or waffles?
-
Neither.
-
Do you guys prefer pancakes or waffles?
Yeah, I avoid them, but I prefer waffles if that is my only option. Either is a simple carb with sugar on top, zero nutritive value beyond calories.
-
is there a difference besides how they're cooked?
I also avoid them, don't remember the last time I had one
-
Waffle batter is different, a bit, from PC batter. Both are just simple carbs.
Batter up?
-
not sure I could taste the difference
-
If anything, I'd have to go with French Toast (no powdered sugar). At least it's dipped in eggs.
-
My wife had never had "French toast" until a few weeks back when she tried it on the cruise. She said "meh".
She said they do have something somewhat similar in France where they treat older bread with egg something, but they don't call it that. They don't call "French fries" that either.
-
Do you guys prefer pancakes or waffles?
Waffles. Though I have a great mix from the Ozarks that makes spectacular pancakes. It's kind of wasted on waffles, the unique flavor doesn't come through like it will in pancakes. I could eat them without butter or syrup.

-
Do you guys prefer pancakes or waffles?
If I have to choose one, waffles. Pancakes have little texture and they're basically inedible w/o syrup, and as I said in another thread I don't love sweet stuff, so I try to avoid syrup. A waffle you can put other stuff on--like maybe peanut butter and sliced banana. And a waffle you can eat with just butter as well.
But... I generally avoid both.
-
I'm a fan of both. If I had to choose one for the rest of my life it would probably be pancakes because I feel like there are more and better variations of them. But the texture of waffles can be just the right thing.
With the recipes that we use, waffles have less sugar and a lot more butter, but they are, of course, both loaded with simple carbs. I often eat pancakes without syrup, opting for fruits (normally berries) instead.
Of course they aren't good for me, but that's not the point. And they aren't as bad as a Dutch Baby (nor do they taste as good). That's some seriously sinful breakfast food.

while crepes may be more delicate both doughs are made from a batter of flour, milk, and eggs. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients. I thought you were a foodie :017: even a culinary ne'er do well like I know that 😎

But pierogi are dumplings. They are sealed around the filling. They're small. Their natural comparison would be things like ravioli, gyoza, etc.
Crepes are large and flat, like pancakes. While they can be rolled or folded around a filling*, they don't in any way resemble dumplings.
* BTW around savory fillings they can be delicious too--growing up my parents used to do them ham/broccoli/bechamel, or sliced beef/vegetables/gravy.

It's basically the English version of an American biscuit. But it can have stuff added into the dough like dried fruits, berries, fresh fruits, they're sometimes iced or glazed, and there can be savory ones too like a ham and cheese scone.

Breakfast in Europe is usually different from here, not to mention Asia, which isn't a shock.
In France, one breakfast is called a "tartine", which generally is a slice of bread with something spreadable. It could come with a piece of ham or something else depending, and the tiniest cup of coffee you've ever seen.
In England, a breakfast "staple" seems to be pork and beans.

I made a burrito I had a hankering for. A nostalgic thing.
On the Rez, the grocery store deli ladies would hook you up.
They had a thick tortilla they'd use (not frybread), but today a normal tortilla sufficed.
Tons of bacon and sausage, with potato wedges and some picante.
It hit the spot. Yes, you could call it a "breakfast" burrito, but it's more of a meat-and-potato burrito. No eggs!

Is Butter Really Back? | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/is-butter-really-back/)
he finding was reported widely in the media, hitting all the cultural hot buttons: food and fat, death and disease, bacon and Brie. As Mark Bittman’s column in The New York Times rhapsodized: “Butter is Back. Julia Child, goddess of fat, is beaming somewhere.”
The Annals article, and the subsequent news coverage, set off a national conversation about dietary fat. Indeed, there is debate within the scientific community itself over how important it is to focus on certain types of dietary fat—and that debate existed long before the Annals article appeared. The debate exists even among professional colleagues—and friends—within Harvard School of Public Health’s Department of Nutrition (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutrition/).
But there are also broad areas of continuing agreement around what constitutes a “healthy diet (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/topic/healthy-eating/).” The consensus: We all need to shift our collective nutritional thinking toward an emphasis on food-based, rather than nutrient-based, recommendations. The fact is, not all fats are bad, and concentrating too much on eliminating “fat” from our diets has, in many cases, led us to replace even healthy fats with sugars and other simple carbohydrate foods (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/topic/carbohydrates/) that may actually be worse for our health.

Let's talk Indian food, fat, and flavor.
I think the Indian food we eat here has its share of fat, paneer/saag/lamb and whatnot, but probably less than American food in general. Fat is cheap flavor, making something tasty without fat, salt and sugar is more expensive or time consuming to prepare.

Because people (the masses) are limited.
The advent of the internet has done some good things (fewer believers in silliness (religion)) and some bad things (broken adolescence, made confirmation bias the norm).
When one ignorant crazy person can find another one online, they've now doubled their credibility (in their minds). The crazies then congregate and have a safe space to share all their ignorance. And it expands from there.
So here in our utopian future of now, we can have people shitting on science while using a smart phone bouncing off satellites.

the East Campus Dining Center is inviting the University of Nebraska–Lincoln community to its Road Trip Across America summertime grill outs.
The 2025 grill outs will highlight different barbecue styles from around the country each week, taking visitors on a culinary road trip through the United States. Aside from the delectable proteins visitors can choose from, dining staff also create sauces, sides and desserts from the week's featured region.
The grill outs are a tradition for the center and are offered most Thursdays and Fridays throughout the summer term. Weather permitting, the meals are served outside between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., with service moving inside until 2 p.m.
Dawn de Groot, manager of the East Campus Dining Center, said the grill outs are something the dining staff look forward to creating.
“We’re not as busy and summer is a little more laid back for everyone, so they can come spend their lunch hour with us,” de Groot said. “We love having everybody come out. We cook with love out here, and we really strive to do the best we can.
“We want everyone to come and have a great experience with the best food possible.”
The first grill outs will be May 29 and 30, featuring Oklahoma barbecue recipes with local sauce company Grandma Fosters, which is manufactured in Omaha. On May 29, a representative from Grandma Fosters will be doing tastings and giveaways also.
“We feature Grandma Fosters through our good, fresh, local (initiative), which is something we started doing last year, where we’re using more locally produced foods,” de Groot said. “All of our brats are produced by the Meat Lab here on campus, and we’ll have featured flavors of those, too.”
Complete menus and nutritional information for all meals served in university dining centers are available online.
The schedule and featured flavors are as follows:
May 29 — Oklahoma BBQ featuring Grandma Fosters with barbecue chicken quarters or smoked baby back ribs

I had a scenic breakfast yesterday, leaving Sedona. Bacon & scrambled eggs, with pancakes. It was some legit, thick-cut, peppered bacon.
Traditional breakfast is fine, any time of day, as part of a rotation of any and all foods you enjoy. Today? Some noodles with steak, corn, peas, and carrots diced in.
-
I found a smoothie shop in Sedona that made a spectacular chocolate and peanut butter flavored smoothie. Can't remember the name of the place. I got a look at their ingredients on the menu and came pretty close to duplicating it, but I never could get it quite right. Mine were pretty good, tho.

Well 90% of the town either sells crystals, is a pizza joint, or sells art for the same price as a car.
It's really nice to visit, just don't buy anything, lol.
-
lol, yeah, I got that impression there. The drive between Sedona and Flagstaff was gorgeous. I remember the road winding severely and it struck me as a drive that might not be safe to do all the time, but man, it was beautiful.
-
Yeah Sedona is great-- to look at. :)
I was working in Phoenix one winter and took a weekend trip to Sedona, Flagstaff, and even snow skied at the Arizona Snowbowl.

Yeah, I love that drive. And it's super cool to camp down at the bottom, along the stream.
That's 89A, and it's always getting closed in the winter.

The restaurant at the Sedona Airport is fantastic.

My BIL and I fly up there out of Chandler (Stellar Airpark) every time I visit out there.

Ha, I made a joke to my friend, seeing the crazy prices of everything in Sedona, that I wanted to go eat at the airport to see what a $80 hamburger looks like. We didn't go.
-
Wasn't Mesa Grill a Bobby Flay joint? Those seem to have closed and this one doesn't seem affiliated.
-
It's unaffiliated, and yes, all of Flay's closed long ago.
The burgers are $20 with FF. All the prices are reasonable.

I suppose the golf courses are expensive - Damn!
-
We drove Sedona to Flagstaff and my wife commented "I thought this was supposed to be really scenic.". She's a hard case. I thought it was pretty nice but not spectacular, especially for our west. We drove back on the Interstate because it was getting dark.
Flagstaff didn't seem to have much of interest to us, or we missed it. I saw one sign for "Historic Downtown" and followed it, but never saw another sign, or a "downtown".
-
Downtown starts north of the train overpass going across the one main road connecting south Flag to east Flag.
It's just nice to walk around, out of the Phoenix heat. Lots of little nooks and crannies to check out.
There's a good BBQ joint in the downstairs of a tiny indoor mall, in the back of a clothing store. There's a hidden baseball card shop, but it was closed on Sunday.
A bulk of the tourists there are just people from Phoenix escaping the heat, and reveling in the ability to walk around outside in a moderate temperature.

I used to claim to have never met a cheese I didn't like, but "raw milk" cheddar was absolutely inedible to me. What is the purpose of that stuff, and who in their right mind would ever eat it?
-
Never seen that stuff, fortunately. There are some other really smelly cheeses I avoid. I like "blue" cheese though. My general favorite is goat cheese.
-
best cheese I've had recently was at Seghesio Family Vineyards, in Healdsburg, CA
goat cheese with cracked black pepper - we bought a chunk at the local grocery
-

Ive golfed at a resort in Sedona. Wasn't too expensive. One hole, par 3 120 yards, but dropped about 10 stories from the tee to the green

Only cheese I have try that I did not like so far was one called "new woman" It had some kind of Jamican spice in it. Tasted like puke.
I like to go the cheese monger at Fry's, they will have a bunch of $5 or less chunks of a variety of cheese and I will buy a bunch just to try different cheeses. I have found a fair number of cheeses I really like this way.
Cheese is the one food I will not live without.

Publix has it.
-
I don't have Publix.
-
Not many do. It's mostly a Southeast thing. Florida has the most.

I like Publix, it's a really good grocery chain. I might say it's the best in the USA-- if Texas' own HEB weren't even better. :)
-
We don't have that chain here.
I wish we had Mariano's (now owned by Kroger but independently managed).
-
Wish HEB would bring back their bottled coffee brand. It was one of many things that got axed during covid due to production problems. A local store manager here told me they used the same facility that manufactures Starbucks bottles and Starbucks' contract gives them preeminent rights, and at the time he told me that, the factory production had not resumed to the point where HEB's brand could also be handled.
I liked HEB's brand much better than the Starbucks drinks, but Starbucks is all that's on the shelves anymore.
I like a lot of HEB's own stuff. Their Earl Gray tea is the best I've found.
-
We have Kroger and Publix in the same mall nearby, we prefer Kroger. My wife likes Trader Joe's a lot. There also is another place called Sprouts not too far, they claim to have fresh stuff, it's OK.
-
I've been to that Sprouts near you. 2012 board meeting.
I was unimpressed.
-
Sprouts is the absolute closest grocery store to me. It has a lot of odd brands, organic stuff, and I think they're supposed to be "better and fresher" but in general, I find their food and especially their produce, to be pretty bad. Not as bad as Trader Joe's, but not particularly fresh either.
-
We have 7 stores "close" to us. 3 are Publix. 2 Aldi. 1 Wal-Mart, 1 Farmer Joe's.
The latter is the best one.

Haven't had that particular bellavitano cheese, but have eaten many of their rind and/or flavor infused cheeses. Generally pretty good. Not particularly a coffee fan, but I will try it.
-
We have Frys (kroger), Albertson, safeway, trader Joe's, Sprouts and a local chain Basha's
-
Basha's is good in my experience.
-
We just started getting Aldi. I was surprised--I didn't even realize they were still in business. The last I remember of them was probably them being the "generic brand store" back in the Chicago 'burbs in the early 90s.
-
Aldi has some good food, but not good everything.
-
No Aldi here. The #2 major chain is probably Randalls (which is Safeway-owned), it's complete crap. The only reason I ever go there is because it's usually so empty I can park right out front, and get in and out in under 10 minutes. I have no idea how they stay in business.
-
We tried Publix here a few times, their prices on the same items seemed much higher than at Kroger next door, with no compensating benefit. The Kroger here is decent and they generally have 2-3 check out lines open, so I have not done self checkout in months now (I would with 2-3 items). Their staff is some elderly ladies often as not we've gotten to know enough to speak with, and their sushi is really good.
The Whole Foods place remains a bit of a mystery to me. We go on occasion if we're walking in that area and need an item or three. They have some nice stuff, but tres cher.
-
We call it "Whole Paycheck." It started here in Austin. I like it but man it's pretty pricey.
-
Publix is really expensive. I'd like Kroger to bring their Mariano's brand here. Or even just Kroger. Publix needs some competition.
-

I am unimpressed.
-
Yep. Whole Foods is someplace I only shop when there's some specific specialty item I know they'll have and a "normal" supermarket won't. For example, one of the things we cook is a mushroom risotto in the Instant Pot, and it's hard to find some of the specific mushrooms for that recipe elsewhere.
But I think it's been well over a year since I've been.
-
Not sure what it's like elsewhere, but Kroger sucks here in Texico. There used to be a couple in Austin, they closed a long time ago.
-
Kroger stops deliveries, lays off workers as it leaves Austin (https://www.statesman.com/story/business/2024/03/27/kroger-deliveries-austin-texas-grocery-store-layoffs-san-antonio-south-florida/73120462007/)

I read that Kroger is closing 60+ stores in the coming year.

Also how I think of Central Market.

The Kroger in Beaumont is pretty good, and kind of a necessity since they're so much cheaper than HEB with most of the same foods. Wife gets fresh fruit at HEB and the HEB/Central Market specific items, everything else she gets at Kroger. The Krogers in nearby SWLA were also good, in my estimation. They had pretty decent organic food sections for appreciably less than competitors (whoever they are over there, can't remember.....no HEB in Louisiana).
-
Also how I think of Central Market.
Yeah, Central Market was HEB's direct competition for Whole Foods. But it's a lot more mainstream now, than when it first opened.
-
I've only been to HEB once, on the outskirts of San Antonio. I was, unlike CD, moderately impressed :57:
-
My i s c & a aggie wife used to laugh at me when I'd say this, but now she's realized I'm right:
"If you can't buy it at HEB, you don't need it."
:)
-
I wouldn't mind having a Gelson's here.
-
I don't know HEB. WF for me is "OK", just pricey. I used to hit up Walmart once a month or so for "staples", basic items in cans or boxes. That Walmart had two fires and then closed. The nearest one now is a bit too far away from me, and I really dislike shopping there for obvious reasons.

I rarely spend $20/lb for cheese

I might go $20/kg on occasion.

it's gotta be an occasion

We have a nice "farmer's market" near us on Saturday which now has a French cheese kiosk. My wife goes crazy with it. The young lady who mans it is also very easy to look at (and is French). I don't know really how much the stuff costs but it's quite a bit. The market overall is growing fast with new vendors because it's packed with people every morning.
I admire the folks who set up their own small businesses and work so hard at it. If they don't ....
This is one reason I disdain most chain restaurants, not that they might not also work hard, but it's a chain.
-

how about well over $80 lb?

-
Probably not. I do like many French cheeses. Give me a good soft cheese, fresh bread, and a glass of decent rose' and I'm happy. Mostly.
I know Trump tried to ban soft cheese.
-
Trump obviously put a restrictive tariff on French cheese
-
Soft cheese in particular.
-
Cheese from Wisconsin is fine with me.
Although I do like this place - a lot.
Amsterdam Cheese Company (https://amsterdamcheesecompany.com/)

In 1972, franchisee Herb Peterson in Santa Barbara, California, created the Egg McMuffin. It was inspired by eggs benedict, but with a fast-food twist: a toasted English muffin, egg, Canadian bacon, and cheese.
It was the start of McDonald’s breakfast empire, officially launching nationwide by 1977. The rest is hash brown history.
