Well, we do like scones ... That's something I could go for, along with the coffee, as long as it isn't one of those squishy things that are sometimes passed off as scones here in the USA. A proper scone with clotted cream or butter would go down nicely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo of blocked folks was in this thread, scroll up and down as necessary. Various other things go back to my reason for my adorable, Official Flounce™ in the "photo" thread, which also requires a few pages of scrolling back and a tiny bit of scrolling forward The beaver/beever stuff goes back to this post, but scrolling back because I was on an epic roll... more scrolling back and forward to get context And I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting, but that gets you to the gist of most of it. Just about every link I gave though is either at the middle or the end of things, though. And there IS an end to things, as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't seem to be for others, but meh... From now on though, if you need to keep up ya can't block people, even with peeking... And this is why I get on block lists in the first place. :::the horror::: And this is why we can't have nice things.

There's no way to make sausage gravy look appetizing. It cannot be done. But...the smell and taste are wonderful. It IS heavy though, and not for everyone at breakfast. Lunch maybe.

I don't know how well it survives in a bottle, bounced across the sea. I have eyed it in their catalog many times, never wanting to spend so much for a very small jar, but hoping that maybe my daughter or DIL would think to send me some for a special day. But we digress. Scones and clotted cream are hardly a peeve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definite peeve. ETA: I have seen recipes for making your own clotted cream, but so far I haven't been motivated enough to do so.

Seicher Rae Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Breakfast, in any of its forms (including brunch), is my favorite anti-peeve of all time. Savory. Sweet. Light. Heavy. Comfort food. Exotic food. Fruit. Vegan. Steak and eggs. There just has to be good coffee. GOOD coffee. Not GOOD coffee is a total peeve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not really much of a biscuit person unless they are covered in sausage gravy.

I am very fortunate to live over an hour from the closest shop that sells a reputable donut, not one of those cloying Krispy Kreme things. Otherwise, I would totally ruin my pseudo-diet by going there every time the urge struck. I am not truly fond of sweet things, but I will make an exception for a donut.
