   Way to go British Lard Marketing Board

   Everywhere were containers full of grease which would later be identified as “drippings” and served to the young and innocent on toast. Quite delicious I might add.

   The guy looks like Dracula, the chick is hot, even though I cant see her ankles and what the heck are they drinking.

     My Dear Hedley,
     Perhaps they are drinking melted lard. He does have a Dracula look about him, a certain suaveness.

     Quite delicious?

       oh yea, reheated bacon fat spread on toast – served as afternoon tea, what more could you want ?

       The lighting for the Dracula Lard photo was a bit unfortunate, they both look like they are missing teeth. Of course the toxic cocktail they are slugging down might have corroded a couple

       MDL,
       That lard probably contributed to tooth loss. I find the on toast idea disgusting!

       Minicapt,
       Did you hear the groan!

   Then there was the famous prefatory cry from the kitchen: “Get the lard out!”

   I agree wholeheartedly about the ‘eat, don’t ask’ method of dining in foreign lands. Even English speaking countries. I learned that while stationed in Korea. The food was excellent, but sometimes the ingredients were best left unmentioned. Of course that was many years ago. Now I would suppose they have adopted a somewhat more ‘friendly’ menu.

   As for the beans, I enjoy most beans with some exceptions. The first time I tried a frozen Korean treat, it turned out NOT to be the ice cream bar I expected, but frozen beans on a stick. My landlady, who offered me the treat was aghast at my expression of both horror (I thought it might be some kind of rice bug, a favorite snack food there that I did NOT appreciate) and disappointment. I had really anticipated ice cream on that hot muggy night.

   Now for ketchup on anything but scrambled eggs with bacon between the toasted buttery halves of an English muffin is just wasteful of sugar, and probably should never be offered by any host. This from an old argument with both my sister and brother. Which continues today with X2 and our son, Both pile it on everything from bananas to steak with the exception of scrambled eggs. They just don’t understand what ‘good’ really is. And, of course, cheeseburgers deserve only the very best, mustard. Any kind, any variety. Same goes for fries and mayonnaise, it just has to be. Bratwurst mayo might be an exception, as it sits in the hot sun. Which always made me wonder about what (maybe who) might be happening inside that warm white wonder. But then, it has been pointed out to me that the mayo label doesn’t carry instructions for ‘refrigerate after opening’. Which may not be necessary due to the vinegar, but still…

     Carl,
     In Ghanaian restaurants, they still serve who knows what, at least outside the capital. I ate bush meat, and it as delicious. Come to find out it came from an animal which looks like a rodent and probably is.

     No beans for me. I just can’t even put them on the fork especially Boston Baked and refried which looks as if they had been previously eaten.

     Ketchup becomes the taste, not the food itself. I can do mayonnaise on cheeseburgers. My mayo says to refrigerate after opening, and then there are all the warnings about salad with mayo left all day.

     I have to put out all the condiments as I have friends who won’t eat this or that. I had to buy ketchup as I didn’t have any!!
