Toslti they're Pork sausages from Yorkies on Soi Chaiyapruek. I think you can get them in frozen form at Friendship and a few other local supermarkets, but I always go to their shop and buy them fresh.

I don't eat a lot of heart-attack on a plate food these days but when I do, it had better be good. And those bangers taste as good as they look, trust me. Not exxy either, about 200 Baht per half dozen.

Wife found some American sausages in a freezer in Udon. Looked a little like Lincolnshire but tasted spicier. A long time since I've had sausages, makes a nice change from ze wurst...

If, if I ate that, it would be my 3 meals for the day!

I have a few beers/wines in the course of the day and get some energy from that but that is a man's meal.

This morning I had a cup of tea, 2 coffees (not a lot of sugar), toast with peanut butter/paste/spread and an egg,
over about a 4 hour period ... I'm and early riser

I've always been told breakfast is the main meal of the day. You can skip lunch and have a light dinner, just as long as you had a solid breakfast. That said, this was a breakfast after the first dig of a full size vegetable plot. A man's breakfast after a man's job.

^^A and ^. Does look like a solid breakfast. Way out of my dietary limits though. Breakfast was two slices of wholemeal toast with honey (no butter) and a cup of black coffee.

^l prefer to leave the sausages in a bit longer (l do 'em in the oven (the sausages l mean))

Otherwise looks delicious. I do my eggs the same way, not snotty but not overdone.

Roza ketchup or HP?

Left side today.

I like peanut buttter, but most of the stuff you can buy is too sweet or full of shit, usually palm oil as a minimum. Picked up a jar of this stuff, and it's bloomin great. Only peanuts and salt. Funny thing is though, if you leave it out of the fridge, the oil separates in the jar and you have to remix it. Once stirred though, popped in the fridge, it is perfect.

Couple of slices of seeded toast and this for breakie this morning with a cup of tea. VEry nice.

^ The only ketchup worth having in Thailand.

Are you a merkin? Or you lifted this from a merkin website?

Anyway - i think it's about the nuts you use. The sweeter the nut and all that

That's a Wetherspoons brekkie 2 up. Not too bad for what you pay, and the menu's a million miles away from when I did a month in the kitchens there in the mid-90s.

Maybe the "chefs" don't follow the 5 second rule anymore either. Maybe.

It's all out of a bag now chum. Nothing is actually cooked on the premises.

Nothing was "cooked" then (unless you're counting the deep fat fryer or the microwave), but at least there's a bit more variety beyond microwave lasagne and chips these days!

The worst meal I have had since coming back to the UK was a weatherspoon shithosue number. As you say - EVERYTHING cheap and warmed up. A bank of microwaves and friers. All individually pre-portioned, and each time a new head of purchasing is appointing, they cut the price of buying everything by a penny to get their bonus, and it gets worse and worse

^Their curry wednesdays are popular, and adds some culture to Grimsby or Swindon city centre

Can't beat a cheap weatherspoons breakfast and a pint of old crafty hen at 10 in the morning IMO

And in that statement, the case of the people verses Weatherspoons was proven.

Shocking news not that I've been there for a while but the Wetherspoons in Crewe is now closed due to the long overdue development of the town centre and they ain't opening another branch, they are gone from Crewe for good. No more bi yearly Spoons brekkies for me.

^It's an abomnation that they were allowed to convert an iconic music venue (Marquee Club, London)

You know why they never play music or even the tv audio? They are saving a heap of cash by not having PRS certificates. Add to that the murmuring and smell of peoples body odour/farts (no cigarette smoke), the low end dirge of patrons that stand about drinking Stella or Hen and you could easily be at someones funeral.

I'd rather be at a miserable funeral wake.
