I hadn't been into the green-house since Christmas as I thought everything would be dead from cold and neglect but it was a nice morning and while the pick-up was de-frosting I thought I'd check it out. The tomato plants were well and truly dead but there were some little toms that had managed to ripen against all odd. Well done little Toms!
Then I ate them, as a reward.

Bacon, waffle,beans, Black pudding& Toms

Neat photos, highly entertaining information! Anxiously awaiting ID on the waffle topper, as well.

Love it!

Note to farmerjim and Malcolm B. If you're going to explain black puddings to our American cousins, tread carefully. There are some weak stomachs out there!

I just Googled black pudding. Yep - there are some differences in our cultures that I am soooo happy about! Does the UK eat fluffernutters?

We find that putting them in institutions is more humane.....unless that's a food item that you're talking about (in which case I've never heard of them - which is unusual because we get so much American programs on telly that it feels like I grew up there).

Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches - "Fluff" should not be confused with marshmallow creme.

So Malcolm was the Death part in reference to the picture of the dish or the Toms in your green house?

Could you have put clotted cream on the waffle insetead, since you already had bacon?

Never heard of that one. Have heard of peanut butter and jelly (what we would call jam). Personally, I prefer to keep sweet and savoury separate.

I can't be too critical of the English eating black puddings. The contents of haggis are best not thought about too much.

Not sure about fluff and creme. Marshmallow in the UK is sort of spongy and sweet, and has gelatine as a main ingredient (you probably don't want to know about the sources of gelatine either. Sometimes it's best just to eat and enjoy).

R, G. - "Eat and enjoy" - a good life philosophy! FarmerJim, I'm sorry for taking your post so far off-topic. I'm usually more polite than that :)

Oops! Does that mean we're guilty of hi-jacking the thread? Photographically speaking, the black pudding was the focal point of #3.

Well, there is that. Most of us Americans wouldn't have a clue so it's all Jim's fault for not identifying it up front :) Not to mention that beans for breakfast is just wrong! (oops, I just now noticed that Jim ID'd the black square in his title)
