obviously in a fryup you'd have the things he lists, but having both would add nothing to a sandwich and would detract from others.

also, sausage and black pudding are too similar texturally to work in a sandwich together, so I'd go with bacon and black pudding.

In all honesty, the taste combine beautifully.
And it's all down to how you've cooked the sausages. If you'd oven cooked them or grilled them, they will be the same texture.

However, if you fry them both (the black pudding only need 30 seconds each side in a hot pan) it works well.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 24 May 2011, 13:58, Reply)

I tend to oven cook or grill bacon and sausage these days
so I concede your point.

I find that with all those things in a sandwich you do lose some of the taste, I'd rather have just the black pudding and crisp bacon.

This is one of your regular beefs
that she is a better dancer than you, but is that genuinely the case? If she was considerably better than you surely she would be quite unhappy and would have suggested that she looks for a (dance) partner more in keeping with her abilities?

As I don't believe that she's done that, I would have to assume that either a) you're not as bad as you make out; or b) she's not really that much better than you in the first place.

Very decent of you sir
Sadly she really is a lot better than me, her knowledge of technique makes mine look pathetic, and she knows all my steps as well as hers. I'm better at performing because she gets nervous at competitions and I'm a massive show-off, however.

I have actually suggested that if she ever wants to win stuff she should dance with someone else but she's generously refused to do so on account of me being her boyfriend, which is awesome. She'd really struggle to find someone as good as her of sufficient height anyway.

How much is that these days? i haven't bought one in years
leaving out variations in strength etc
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 24 May 2011, 13:42, Reply)

for a long time it was £25 an eighth
then for the last 5 or 6 years it was £20, now it's £25 again for the most part. Although starting to get it for £20 again.

Not much discount for bulk these days either, unless you are going wholesale.

quality wise, and strength etc. you get what you are given down here. Depends who it comes from really.

It all depends on the bread.
If something very crusty, say a baguette then I would be tempted to go for steak, onion and dijon mustard.
With something like rye bread I would go for pastrami, gherkins and english mustard.
Or perhaps a traditional English bap, slightly toasted with some home cooked ham and a strong cheddar cheese.

However, the mere whisper of a bun drags us by the arm to the promise of burgers. A simple beefburger made from some nice chuck steak, even coupled with homemade onion rings if the mood takes me.

And where would we be without the simple classic sliced white "povvo" loaf? Bacon, fried until crispy with a tickle of brown sauce can tranform this cheap excuse for a doughy vehicle into something majestic.

I think it's safe to say that with todays variety, nobody is living Below The Breadline.
