Back in Black Medicine

My apologies to readers who expect more frequent updates. I wish I could say that I had a really good reason for why my posts have not been as frequent, like I have been practicing with my Ancient Scottish Military Reenactment Society friends, preparing for our defense of Stirling Bridge, or wrestling monsters in Lochs, or I have been to worn out from all my caber chucking, but no of that is actually true. I have been trying to ward off a little bit of a cold, but that is about it, as far as pressing things that I have done. However, now I am back in Black Medicine, which I foresee as becoming my primary haunt in the city. Fridays at least it seems I will be able to spend a couple of hours here every week, so I will be able to blog at least once a week.

This week has not be honestly very eventful, however, as I have always heard one should write about what one knows, something that I have been doing, and something that I do know, is breakfast. So, here is a fun little quiz to see how well you know your breakfast.

Question #1
Baked Beans are:

A. Best had with a BBQ sandwich, a delicious side when paired with pork.
B. Probably not the wisest gastronomic choice, due to their ability to disrupt normal intestinal function.
C. A delicious breakfast treat! Good on everything from eggs to toast to sausage. Can be a topping or just eaten plain.

Quetsion #2
Haggis is:

A. A interesting Scottish delicacy. Not bad when eaten during certain culturally appropriate occasions.
B. Best left well enough alone.
C. A delicious breakfast treat! What better way to start your day than a nice hot plate of sheep-innards?

Question #3
Mushrooms are:

A. A tasty ingredient used to enhance fine cooking.
B. Not to bad, for a fungus. A decent pizza topping choice, as long as other things on it to mask the taste.
C. A delicious breakfast treat! A steaming portion for breakfast goes great with your morning coffee and newspaper!

Question #4
Tomatoes are:

A. The bedrock for Italian cuisine.
B. Best in sauce form. And in Ketchup.
C. A delicious breakfast treat. Grill up a couple whole for an energizing start. Nothing says breakfast of champions more than a fleshy luke-warm soggy tomato!

Now, lets see how you did. Hopefully, A and B were the most attractive answers to you.  Unfortunately, the British would answer every question here with C. And obviously, people in the UK could learn a thing or two about food to be eaten before noon. To review, here is a visual reminder.
