It's entirely possible that the name of the dish evolved as it passed from the ship to the home and then passed down generations. I could not imagine my grandmother ever using the word foreskin in reference to something she cooked. :D

Ahh, bella Italia :)

I always like walking through the small towns with my nose following the scent of freshly baked bread and purchasing something for breakfast. Nothing better :D

Unless your gradmother spent part of her hitch messcooking, she would be unlikely to have heard it....

Now, on the otherhand, if in her youth she carried on with marine(s), she might have heard of SOS.:D

I've been pleasantly surprised by the upgraded BA Club World Full English breakfast. Gloucester Old Spot sausage and decent bacon. No fan of scrambled egg but this stuff is just about edible.

Breakfast for me is my favourite meal of the day especially when travelling.The only thing I look forward to when staying in a hotel is the breakfast and I have to say (and I'm not being biased about this) by far the best hotel breakfast I have had was in the Hilton in Edinburgh. The choice was outstanding and there was something for everyone,they even had a bottle of Whisky out next to the pot of porridge. ^

One other breakfast that sticks in my mind was during a cycle camping tour in Estonia just after the Russians gave up and left. I pitched my tent in a farm where the owners supplied breakfast which was included in the fee for camping. I was the only "guest" and out in the garden on a lovely sunny summers morning the table was set for me.
The farmers wife just kept coming with food. Fresh yoghurt,natural berry juice,cereals with fresh milk,bacon,eggs,a type of sweet cake thing made with honey from their hives,home made jam and crusty bread.So many things I've forgotten the rest and all produced on the farm which was the best thing about it.
The price of it all left me feeling somewhat embarrassed and I would gladly have paid many times over what I was asked for. I can still remember that morning as if it were yesterday so fond are my memories are of that stay and the kindness shown to me during my time there.

Nowadays you get real, sometimes very good quality meats and cheeses in Deutschland. In the late 70s when I first lived there with my family it was all horrible pre-packaged industrial melts. Maybe the influx of Italians and other foreigners into German gastronomy has had a positive effect?

Speaking of great breakfasts, anyone found great even good breakfast inside LHR T5?

Cheers

I've read Gordon Ramsays Plane Food at T5 is not bad at all.

Sears Restaurant, 439 Powell St in San Francisco has always been consistent in serving a great breakfast - always a line in the mornings.

Very pricey, but good service and mostly tasty food.

At the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, do they still have roast beef on the breakfast buffet? That was goooood :) never saw that anywhere else.

I am one of those people who drive the food planners and providers crazy. I don't eat egg dishes nor most breakfast meats. One egg in a cake is ok, something that is composed primarily of eggs and/or ham, bacon, sausage, just makes me gag. :p So bring on the baking and the fruit plates for me. I try to eat fruit at breakfast when travelling so if the rest of my meals are unhealthy or not well scheduled, at least I've had something proper at some point.

Someone mentioned skillets before. I love them when I see them. Although when they ask "how do you like your eggs" and I answer "Absent" it throws em for a loop....
