Its the most wonderful time of the year.

Egg Nog is my favorite of the Nogs.


J.

Here's mine.

Best breakfast evah:

Pan fried venison with biscuits and tomato gravy. Plus a side of hog, take yer pick on which type.

You guys know shit about breakfast.

Paratha with chicken tandoori, small cup of raita and hot cup of tea with malai.

Now THAT'S breakfast!

No, that's lunch.

Lunch is chicken biriyani with dahi malai and chilled lassi.

Bagels are gay.

If the tea is too cold, the sugar has a hard time dissolving and just settles in the bottom of the glass.


That's why I use artificial sweetener at restaurants.

Mmmm. Bagels. Can't get a good one anymore since the NY Jews ran away from Broward County. *sigh*

I miss them.

Its been years since I have had some good curry. The Indians in Britain knew how to make that stuff right. I miss that as well.

Tomato gravy?

LOVE egg nog and will be getting some this year. What's the "traditional" alcohol that's mixed into it? I thought it was rum but I could be mistaken. No one else in my family will touch it so I'll have a whole carton to myself.

And speaking of Waffle House, they do have some great food. I think the way they do the waffle, crispy on the outside and somewhat soft on the inside. I'm not too fond of Belgian waffles anymore.

As for a "traditional," elaborate Sunday breakfast at my house growing up, it was eggs (scrambled or fried over hard); bacon, sausage, or ham, whichever we had that time; grits with butter; and toast with butter and biscuits (home-made). Sometimes we'd have gravy to go on the biscuits as well.

You drove the Jews away?

egg nog is disgusting, homemade biscuits and gravy is one of the best comfort foods on earth, and how the hell is waffle house overpriced? it's like $2 for a huge ass waffle!!!

Biscuits & Gravy= Win.
The best solution to the gravy argument is to cook bacon and sausage in the same pan and put them both in the gravy. Problem solved, double delicious.

Well, southern bagels are surely gay. But a good New York bagel is one of the world's few perfect foodstuffs, perhaps the only one that doesn't involve bacon, red meat, or chocolate.

Indeed. Mewa brags constantly about how well he eats when he goes out. He rips on Applebees as being cheap and tasteless.

Some folks believed him all this time. And now we find out wafflehouse is too expensive for him.

wafflehouse seems to be the sort of place where cigarette ash is the main spice. I ate there once.

It just seems so pointless; if you can't fry your own eggs, eat cold cereal.

ye gods! the world has atlanta to thank for wafflehouse. Add that to coke and chick-fil-a; we're a culinary mecca.

To reach the apex of "perfect" foodstuff requires much more balance than simply containing "complex carbs" - like a slice of pizza with any meat or anchovy is closer to 'perfect' (protein, dairy, veggie, and carb), or a roast beast sammich (lettuce-tomato-cheese-protein-carb) or the mexican equivelent (say, a taco).

Bagels are great, no argument from me, but are as far from perfect as a Milky Way (Mars) bar or a corn muffin.

I don't know how people eat all these gigantic breakfasts. I'm lucky if I have time to do anything more than oatmeal or yogurt at work. Once in a while I'll go crazy and make eggs or something. But if I'm eating a big meal early in the day, I'm making it brunch and having some champagne with it.

Yup, he's gay.

Mimosa!!!!!

There's nothing gay about getting plotzed at 11AM.

Ramen noodles for college student.

I had way too much of that stuff in college. 20 years later and I still can't stomach it.

Butters! Would you mind telling me why theres rice-a-roni in my coffee!?!?

I've been to Waffle Houses in Texas and Oklahoma and have never seen "ass waffles" on the menu.

Izzat a Nebraska thing?

My kids love them.

I eat them from time to time. Those and some other foods that I used to eat a lot in my poor days are what I call my "Passover food".

"We eat these bitter herbs to remind us of bitter times..."

We have a local creamery that sells egg nog in glass bottlesd that's made with basically just eggs, cream, milk and spices.

Not that crap that is 2/3 thickeners and colorings and flavorings that you get pre-made everywhere this time of year.
