Gave them a good send off, served alongside a coq au vin made with 1/2 lb of organic gluten free bacon and a killer sauce. Lots left for tomorrow.

Sea bass alright,
It’s a fish cake with cod, salmon, potato egg and a few herbs,
Simple lemon butter sauce.
Is gluten free bacon a thing? What is it that calls gluten to other types?
The coq au vin looks superb.

What’s the story with the purples ones, I’ve never had them before
Blight.

Happy to oblige
They originated in Peru (Peruvian purple) but there are lots of purple varieties, some incredibly intense colored. Supposed to be much higher in antioxidants than white.

You would imagine most bacon should be gluten free, but apparently cross contamination in processing is common enough.

Ah right, I thought you meant a lump of bacon to go with the spuds.
As an aside Tesco Ireland have begun stocking a quite decent American style bacon that’s produced in Ireland, can’t beat that really crispy bacon with a few scrambled eggs and I’ve always found it hard to pick up in Ireland.
On a similar vein is there anywhere you can pick up decent beef hot dogs (franks) in Ireland
Decent hot dogs?

Sorry mate, lips and assholes I know but I like the hot dogs in New York and can’t find similar here, a couple of my kids absolutely love them so we’d have them the very odd day for lunch,
It came into my head while I was writing that last post, hope you haven’t spat out your gin when you read it.
Grand brunch there. Toasted sourdough topped with three poached eggs and a bit of cheddar, four sausages, three rashers, three pieces of black pudding, mushrooms browned with garlic, roast tomatoes, and three little ham feta and olive cakes. A good lash of rebel chilli company habanero relish as well and plenty black coffee to wash it down.

Yup, I’ve been very very close in how I imagined you to look, almost uncanny in fact.
That’s a proper brunch 
It just seems like an awful lot of grub to eat in one go. I wouldn’t eat that much all day I don’t think
