Made this fava & chickpea hummus with za'atar from David Kinch's At Home in the Kitchen and cut up the veg yesterday so all I needed to do was plop it on a plate.  It was the path of least resistance.

"Plop it on a plate"...ha! I need to show you the definition of "plop"! LOL

 

Yours looks grand. My very best plops don't come close.

You know, Cracker Barrel used to be my go-to for breakfast. No matter where you went, it was consistent. Not awesomely wonderful, but consistently good.

 

No more. My last breakfast outing to the one here netted me overcooked eggs, undercooked bacon, biscuits that were cold and doughy inside, and butter that just came out of the freezer. And weak coffee. I can stay home and beat that.

You could have beat it even if it was good.  I have faith in EG members

I had poached eggs on rye a couple of days ago. Often do. Didn't take a photo, though. Yes, I prefer a wholewheat bread, but no complaints about rye.

I may have told about having breakfast alone in a cafe in a small town.   Not considering how unusual it was, I ordered poached eggs on rye toast.    It took a LONG time to arrive, as the fry cook incorporated this order into his grill-centric routine.    He also looked around to see who the oddball was who ordered this.

Non-cardiologist approved buttermilk biscuits made with lard and White Lily SR Flour.  Generously anointed with butter and ribbon cane syrup.  I'm 67 and originally from the Philadelphia MS area and the syrup is just like we had as kids.  Not quite the the glorious catheads my grandmother made  but still very tasty. Baked on a cast iron griddle (hoe) that has been handed down at least three generations.

@Steve Irby 

 

very nice , I can appreciate 

 

the aroma

 

' Lard ? '

 

it just depends 

 

blocks of hydrogenated lard 

 

piggy flavors removed ?

 

that's one thing

 

Fat from a pig 

 

carefully, carefully rendered and  saved 

 

its quite another .

 

a cooking show I watch 

 

https://www.itv.com/hub/james-martins-saturday-morning/2a5159

 

and enjoy 

 

a week ago or so

 

he used   '' Iberico Pork Fat '

 

\that came in a jar , and was widely available 

 

in local ( higher end ? )

 

markets

 

I watched this segment w Eagle- ish eyes :

 

https://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/recipes/bangers-with-onion-gravy-and-mash/

 

https://www.itv.com/hub/james-martins-saturday-morning/2a5159a0172

 

and for review purposes :  the jar :

 

JJJ.jpg.da26dbf437659a868213b42baacb53f9.jpg

 

in the pan :

 

sss.thumb.jpg.94e773beb067ab48ce8fe1ad54361442.jpg

 

this looks ' fat - creamy '

 

and not hard 

 

anyone know what this is ?

 

this type of rendered pork fat

 

perhaps not from Spain 

 

would be nice to have

 

for flavor 

 

next to the Duck fat  ( rendered )

@rotuts Plenty of piggy left in.  I occasionally  go in halves and buy a local hog.  I'll have the hog scalded and split in half or sectioned into primal cuts.   I always get the head, tail, and extra fat.  The last pig had mangalista aspirations  with a 4-6 inch fat cap.  Low and slow on the rendering has yielded very good results.  I vacuum bag in pretty small portions in my VP112.
