LOL, I'm always up early Ann. I have to be at work at 8 and I like time to each a nice breakfast before I get ready.; Makes the day nicer not to rush!

What to think about a belgian mitraillette? No not a firearm but a carbohydrated " delicacy ".
See for yourself.

Really too much...well too much of anything really...

They put the fries into the bun? How weird is that?

Sounds like something you have to either be pregnant for or something for the end of a drinking night. :lol:



Back in the days of our Chancelllor Helmut Kohl "Pfälzer Saumagen" (a regional specialty from his home in the Pfalz) was very famous. Don't think it made anyone eat it though...

Sabs

Pregnancy or drunken madness :exactly! Couldn't have said it better.

Sabs the mitraillette reminds me a little of the Frito burgers we do here. It's a regular cheeseburger served open face with pinto beans, chili con carne, Fritos corn chips and cheese on top...very carb intense, too many calories and absolutely wonderful!

Sabs

Sounds huge too, greenkitchen. What precisely are pinto beans?

Susanne

Pinto are beans that are sprinkled in dark red on white. The name - I think - comes from the spotted pinto horses. In German they are "Wachtelbohnen"...

Sabs

thank you.

Haggis has to be a famous food,even in Barbados i was asked by a Rastafarian what a haggis was.Quite a strange question i thought from a Rastaman?

Sabs, The frites sandwich looked good to me, although way to much!! I like to make an egg sandwich with some fried potato rounds on it.
