At folk festivals here in Oz there is usually a 'Poets Breakfast' - ie. listening to poetry recitals while having one's freshly cooked bacon and egg roll. Sublime. Soft white roll, crispy bacon, runny egg and sauce.

Some wusses just go for the poetry with no bacon and egg roll......!

I never make them at home, that's our treat when we go to a festival.

Cheers

Dave, the Liverpudlian butty you are talking about is the ancestor of the modern butty. That's where it all started, but butties, like so many organic things, evolve.

Guess what I just had for breakfast??

I've just recently found an old fashioned butcher's shop near me, which I've started to use regularly. They not only slaughter the animals themselves but have a board outside so you know where it came from...name of the farm and the village. It's all locally produced. My son, who was cooking bacon for his breakfast, called me down and asked what the little white bits in the bacon were. He thought they were teeth! In my childhood all bacon had the little white bone and my Mum used to cut them out and give them to us to such the meat off as it was supposed to be the tastiest bit. I can't believe my son, at 16 has never seen bacon with the bone in!
