Bill,
I’m giving a message on “the family meal” tomorrow as part of a series on the family, and tying it in with The Family Meal that is the Lord’s Supper. This will serve as an excellent illustration of the point that we derive much of our identity by the food we eat (and with whom we eat). Thanks for this timely post.

Josh: Welcome! Not a better man, just dumber: I just didn’t think long enough about it before I said “Yes!” when the call came from Wales. It was difficult at first. My wife cried on our first trip to the supermarket (they do have Wal-Mart here, if that’s some consolation) because she couldn’t find Crisco, graham crackers, Cool Whip, peanut butter, and a bunch of other stuff. No, really, it’s been great! You trade a few things that are precious to you for a lot of other wonderful things that more than make up for it, like a hand-pulled pint of Guinness!

Ben: I’ve put a link to a much larger version of the English breakfast. But you’re right: there’s a long sausage under that bacon. It’s not you’re typical mushy English pork sausage, though; looks more like a beef or German sausage. You can get some pretty good ones here, but “Jimmy Dean” is out of the question (unless you follow my recipe).

I can not imagine. I love living in Georgia where all these foods are so close at hand. That English breakfast looks pretty good though. Is that a sausage in there?
