Oh, wow!  That does seriously not compute with me but thank you for sharing. I think.

Well if you can eat bacon with beans for breakfast 😮 why can’t you eat bacon with grits for breakfast?  😂

I know the feeling! When I moved back to my part of Hamburg a couple of weeks ago, I was looking forward to a decent Indian take away now and again.

What is here now? Dozens of kebab places, a couple of Vietnamese and a few Thai places. Nice enough but not spicey enough for me.

 There used to be 3 Indian places - all gone.😟

Best breakfast porn ever!

 

I can see myself mixing the cheese eggs with the grits. Orgasmic.

One combo is perfectly normal and the other is... different.

[fraufruit 40,037]

When one eats beans for breakfast, does one fart all day or just in the morning?

I have only ever tried grits once, never again, horrid. Give me baked beans and gas any day!

Well, how dare you?  😳  Suffice it to say that not all grits are created equally.  😂  Staying on topic, baked beans with bacon bits taste great, but I enjoy them best around the evening 🔥 where we can all f*** to our heart‘s content in the fresh air.  But then, life would be boring if we all thought alike, which we obviously don’t, or else everyone on TT and elsewhere would be vaccinated, or not.  So there you have it, 🥓 and 💉 together.  😂

Don't ever forget the burnt toast with the baked beans! Cardinal sin! And pepper and tabasco!

Just googled! I thought grits were tiny pieces of bacon or tiny cubed potatoes. Corn-based porridge! You live and learn!

Murphaph, aren't you in Berlin? The Lír, 5 mins from Bellevue, has proper fish'n'chips!

(Some bacon on the menu too, just to keep the thread pure!)

Or maybe A gritty cement!

They don't call it grits for nothing.

Hilarious. Who cares anyhow? Anything with bacon tastes great

Out in Brandenburg these days Feierabend. I must try the lir though. Years since I've been in there.

It's a decent pub. Haven't been there in while myself, maybe we should revisit next Spring / Summer

I live in Bbg too and am very happy to spend an hour on the train getting there! Will probably use the excuse if any is needed to combine it with Christmas shopping next week!

But yes, Bbg is a big state of course!

 

Editing to add: they have a nice varied menu and the not-so-fishnchip-obsessed people I brought there were happy too.

Birnen-Speck-Kuchen Rezept – norddeutscher Hausmannskost-Klassiker

 

 

(Photo from the website above)

Northern German recipe for spongecake with pears...all wrapped up in bacon.

 

My MIL serves it with custard

(OK, she calls it vanilla sauce - but I know custard when I taste it!)

 

 

Not to be confused with "Birnen, Bohnen und Speck"

which is more like Haxe.

Going a bit crazy here. I followed a thread here which lead to an Irish butcher who offers things like bacon, sausages and black pudding. The latter has disappeared recently from our breakfast menu here because of BREXIT. I tried to order on this site and my order came to about 55€ and then came the shipping costs of 87€ on top. NO SALE!

Does anyone have a better option?

You could stop bitching about a decision made by your country and buy local German bacon, maybe?
