Yibble Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 10 hours ago, John Wright said: Ulster fry (breakfast) is just a full Scottish with addition of the potato farls. Whilst I agree they're close relatives, the full Scottish, at least in my definition, would also include haggis (not in the Ulster) and the Ulster has soda bread (which is not in the Scottish). I've also found the 'slime things'; baked beans, tomatoes and mushrooms invade the Scottish breakfast more frequently than they do the Ulster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works the other way round too; a paratha goes really well with a cooked breakfast. Edited July 21, 2023 by Yibble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Gef reports that the old NatWest building on the corner of Prospect Hill and Nelson Street is up for sale for £1.5 million. Maybe someone would like to turn it into a tripe shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll set it up I thought ... Obviously with DfE it would probably need to be blockchain tripe or whatever (whatever happened to blockchain?).

Gladys Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Manx meat in Tesco is actually cheaper than their own brand stuff, not hugely but a good move. Now we just need variety of cuts in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
