…and lest you think I exaggerate when I say MrsT is Buddy the Elf’s long-lost aunt, she had syrup in her purse, so she used that for her pancakes, but drank the syrup that they provided, like a little bottle of booze from the minibar. :laugh:
 
...and you ate all that lot for breakfast? Looks good but:
Two observations. Fried apples with eggs and sausage. Never seen that before. Biscuits and gravy - really good, and I enjoyed that breakfast we had in Madeira, but - what's with the jam/marmalade on the side? Never seen that either!

Fried apples (at any time of day, but especially breakfast) is a Midwest & Southern US tradition, very common - butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted together in a skillet, then in with the apple slices. It’s pretty much apple pie filling. We ate this as kids nearly every day.

Oh, I didn’t eat all that, it was for both of us. I had the plate with two fried eggs and the biscuits and gravy, MrsT had the eggs and bacon and the pancakes.

Jam is for the biscuits, as an option; butter and jam, just like you’d do with toast, and without the gravy, obviously. It’s just standard to have the option. Maybe you have one biscuit with the gravy and one biscuit with some jam and butter. When we’re home and have biscuits and gravy, that’s exactly what MrsT does.

Still seems a huge amount if food to me (and calories). Fried apples with eggs sound very strange to me. With sausage it's not so odd. After all, pork goes with apples.

That's normal for any restaurant of that type. There is aways a selection of jams/marmalade available. Individual butter and/or margarine packages are served when toast or biscuits are being served.

The little bottle is most likely Cracker Barrel's real maple syrup that is an extra charge. Pancake syrup is included, but real maple syrup costs extra, and, since Mrs. T drank it down like booze, that's probably what it was.

Oh, I'm a biscuit with butter, and a biscuit with gravy at home too.

My BIL, RIP, had his sausage gravy with thick pancakes.
 
I nipped Mrs. T's idea... whenever we go to Cracker Barrell, I stash those little bottles in my handbag, bring that home, wash them out and fill them with REAL Maple Syrup for those places that only offer pancake syrup :headshake:We don't care for that fake stuff.
