Better start practising my sexy rooster dance...

Ooooooo

Yorkshire pudding cooked in dripping, rolled up around a thin layer of damson jam, dunked in the partly cooled and set dripping from the pan as you eat it


Oh ffs, am I gonna need to start tidbitting over dead leaves so she thinks I'm just as daft as the other numpties here?

Dead leaves, poop, and swamp water are excellent choices.

That deserved a warning!

ETA: I do not like fish. Shellfish, yes. But not the fishy-fish kind.

Slimy stagnant poop soup is their favourite thing to drink. I'm trying to convince them I don't have the best treats!

@Shadrach, how goes your phone?

It's a pile of crap.
The camera is wonderful; the operating system, or should I write the google layer, is just awful.
It needs a much more powerful processor.
It's always pushing pop ups, or drop downs, asking if you would like to do this or that and all I want is them off the screen so I can see what I'm doing!
There are lots of features that are just short of being bugs that just don't make sense, display changes for no apparent reason, can't scroll to logins (probably the applications problem) but the pixel doesn't deal with them well.
Frankly, my old Blackview is/was a better phone for what I want a smart phone for at least. It just weighs a ton and the camera is crap.
I keep meaning to give GrapheneOS a try but....

This was 50 years ago, and now that I think of it, it might have been more of an open-faced sandwich, on a roll sliced in half, so much like the butter and hagelslag. At that point in life, I had not yet discovered chocolate croissants, which has much the same flavor profile.

I just remembered thinking that chocolate for breakfast was the most wonderfully decadent thing I’d ever encountered!

You're a bunch of sugar monsters judging from the topic content.
Things may have changed but when I was last in that region, breakfast comprised cold meats and cheeses with gallons of coffee. Cereal didn't have much of a role back then and rye and pumpernickel bread did the carbs.

That sounds super fun!

To make this more lovely my Pixel 6 had its power button get "stuck" (it didn't feel stuck but it was) and I had to smack the thing. Oh, and Mom's Pixel 6a has that battery throttling thing, so lovely.

LineageOS is pretty good on mine since I shoved most of Google in the rubbish, but it can't fix bad hardware.

Marie2020 here asked about a new phone, I'm now tempted to recommend iPhone but I haven't used a newer one than the 5s. (I actually am seriously considering iPhone since it's not all Google-bloated).

I ate plenty of chocolate sandwiches in Denmark as a kid (didn't grow up there but visited family regularly). Danish sandwich chocolate/pålægschokolade is in sheets, not shavings, and served over a layer of butter, open faced.

They sell herring on this site, too, for all you fishy-fish fans.

My mom makes a herring salad with sour cream and beets that's the stuff of nightmares. The beets make it pink. I lost count of guests (especially those from the US) who've taken a bite expecting fruity ambrosia salad...to be greeted with a mouthful of fish and onions.

I got given a traditional cold remedy by the mother of my son in law; they're Polish. Onion, garlic and horseradish blended in warm water.

You forgot the important part: Did it work?

Toad in the hole, all the way!
