A Bacon roll with Brown sauce?

[UltimateHibs]

If it went against your principles in life would you have a sneaky one in a foreign country if you thought you wouldn't be caught?

Discuss

[camthebam]

You're going to have to put that euphimism into more direct words, friendo.

Then I'll gladly discuss it.

Sounds like a good thread in the making, I ain't being a smart arse, I just ain't entirely sure what you mean

Their not all their cracked up to be. Veggie bacon is better.

[SG7nil]

Are we talking about bits of dead pig and putting them in a bread roll then putting sauce on it and scoffing it...


Tomato Ketchup for me please!!!!

Well, I gave up meat about 22 years ago. I've had a few types of veggie bacon and some are good, some are terrible.

Recently, I've had bits of my wee sons bacon sarnies that I've made for him and they've been pretty disappointingly - not as good as I remembered and not as good as the veggie ones. Wasn't crap bacon either - all organic, outdoor bred stuff and the like.

Chicken is shit as well unless its free range.

MY wee boy seems to prefer the veggie stuff that he nicks from me but I think that may be because its easier to chew and he enjoys nicking things from me!!!

Never had that. I didn't ever much like black pudding so I doubt I'd seek it out.

I'd love to be able to get hold of veggie white pudding.

You think so? I honestly can't tell the difference.

Always think chicken is pretty much only of any use when it is soaking in other flavours. Without that it's pretty bland and tasteless.

Here's another heresy as well. Frozen stuff, as long as it's been frozen fresh, tastes absolutely no different to the fresh variety of anything.

Another food heresy. Quorn mince used instead of meat in a bolognese or lasagne is almost impossible to recognise as any different to actual mince.

White pudding as in the stuff you get in a chippy? I thought it always was veggy? Made of oatmeal and onions etc? I've asked a couple of times in chip shops and was told that they were veggy (my partner is vegetarian).

I looked it up and found that White Pudding is NOT a vegitarian dish!

"White pudding is made into tripe skins and ingredients for white pudding usually contain toasted oatmeal, onions, beef suet, spices and seasoning. Some butchers also use pork meat. Generally a white pudding is sausage shaped though the larger haggis shaped white puddings are also common in Scotland though generally called mealie pudding. Very old traditional Scottish recipes for white pudding also used to contain sheep brain matter which was used as a binding agent rather than for its flavour. Vegetarian white pudding is also available from some butchers and shops in Scotland."

In general chicken is shit whether free range or not, deffo the lowest ranking 'meat' imo.

I reckon you can tell the difference, less water content being the main one.

the frozen food thing is deffo true, peas being the case in point...from what i understand, most top fancy eateries use frozen peas.

not so sure about the quorn one though mate, I'd say I'd give it a try, but that would involve purchasing and eating quorn, which aint gonna happen.

So we can either believe wikipedia, or the various owners and workers in chip shops who have told us that the white puddings they have are vegetarian. Maybe it's just an Edinburgh thing, but I think there's only been one chip shop I've ever been in who said that it was not veggy, the rest have consistently said they are.

Frozen peas are better than fresh - frozen fish is sometimes better too.

its supposed to be but McSween's white pudding isn't.

[Brainwrong]

Bacon rolls have, in my experience, been (combined with a hangover) the main source for defection in veggies back to a carnivorous diet. That, and in one case a late night kebab...

I've never had one so it has no pull to me. They smell good though.

I was also under the impression that White Pud'in was/is veggie unless fried in the same oil as the meat/fish. Even then it's tenuous.

Not a massive fan of bacon rolls thesedays. Bacon couldnt lace Slice Sausage's boots! Brown Sauce.
