Just finished breakfast with @HongKongLady via Skype. We went up-market with Maccas.

She went for hot chocolate, scrambled eggs, half of the muffin and the sausage burger.

I had cappucino, the hash brown and the other half of the muffin.

It’s cold enough in the mornings here, that my local Hungry Jack’s CO2 pipes froze and they had to give everyone free coffee instead of coke. Then of course they thaw out in the afternoon heatwave and go back to frozen next morning. Also, how do you eat half a muffin on Skype?!

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Buy 1 each and not eat half?

This is where humans lose me again. Why not just eat a whole muffin each or order something else? Does it say any less if you don’t, like “you might have a disease, i’m not letting you touch my food”?

I could write pages on why humans baffle me.

Thought. 

You could send the other half of the food in the post and wait til it arrives before you both eat it. Just think of all the effort and thought thats went into that or does eating rotting green food together not say something romantic?a-hard-days-night-paul-3 You could then loving share food poisoning and hours heaving your guts out in the bathroom. heart

It was a set menu.

I think I’ll pass on the green food, even if it is Apple colours. :)

Whatever floats your boat. 

I’m eating nothing by the way, just to get it away from this silly conversation and back on some sense of track.

I’m at B.B. King’s Blues Cafe on Beale Street in Memphis trying to decide what I want to write in this thread.

EDIT: white cheddar mac-n-cheese, green beans and hush puppies. It was really good. Everybody liked everything they had.

Mostaccioli with meat sauce.

 

My dad made way more mostaccioli than we could eat last week and it’s probably going to take three weeks for us to get rid of it all.

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

Hush puppies are an American speciality. It’s basically the batter used to batter deep-fried things, deep-fried by itself. It probably started as a way to get rid of extra batter. I have no idea how the name came about.

We just got some really lovely apples from the farmers’ market Yesterday . We’d been eating boring Styrofoam grocery apples for a while, so these are refreshingly tasty. I will virtually share them with you. apple02apple02apple02apple02apple02

Eeek – sounds like an abomination rather than a speciality :)

Off for a coffee and a muesli bar shortly while I do a bit of shopping and pay a few bills.

Here’s the story I always heard about the origin of the food: “People cooking outdoors would fry up these little cakey bits along with their other food as a side delicacy and would feed a few to the dogs to keep them quiet while the humans were eating (Hence “Hush, puppies!” as another way of saying “Quiet, dogs!”).”

So hush puppies in the US is batter deep-fried? And folk eat this?

And folk think deep-fried mars bars are ridiculous creations.

They eat fried bugs in some places so I guess anything is possible.

I’ve heard of those fried bugs and I’ll TOTALLY try one the minute I see one for sale. (Unless it’s like $20 or something)(Love to try the Mars bar concoction too, once.)

Also, I’m not American and have heard of hush puppies but I always thought they were just another name for hash-brown potatoes. 

Currently eating cucumber and gin-and-grapefruit juice. Thawing pork chop for dinner.

Eating one of them now… even though I’ve had about four already. a-hard-days-night-george-9 Sweet, flavourful, fragrant, juicy, crunchy, and generally superior to the common bland grocery-store variety (even though, technically, grocery stores carry the same varieties, but ya know what I mean). apple02apple02apple02apple02
