I'll take some of your roast pork!
I haven't had that since we were back home in 2019.
I watched a video on how to make it, man, it's pretty involved.
I'd much rather go to the shop and say, 1 pound siu yuk chopped please.
*sigh*

Actually, the directions say NOT to use a toaster oven if I remember correctly. Not sure why. Directions also say to use at least a certain volt or watt microwave, and it's not the lower rated ones.

The pastry is so-so if cooked in the microwave. It just seems flakier and just better if cooked in the oven.

It works in the toaster oven though, I've done it.

I made it once from this video and the results were quite good. I wouldn't say it was very onerous to do, but round here it's not worth the trouble because I can buy it just about anywhere...

That's exactly how I was before moving to the continental US.
So many dishes I never made, because I could simply go and buy it and not for a lot of money either!
I NEVER made sushi, I'd just go get take out or go to the sit-down place and eat.
Now, I've had to learn how to make it or do without.

Potatoes for brekky is just not done here, dont k ow why but it isnt. I grew up with weet bix the one and only choice for brekky. Milk and bit of sugars. Day in day out. First time I ever had bacon or even eggs was staying with a high school mate. I was 13 or 14.
Hell his dad cooked every .morning for 5 of them.
I will try it one day soon just to appease caseydog lol.
Our area I grew up in was lower socio housing, none of my neighbors had cooked brekky.
I first had a restaurant meal at about 18 or 19?
Just a country thing I think???
I stayed in b and bs in the uk, from memory no hash browns at those places. We were there about 7 or 8 weeks.

Same here, a cooked breakfast is not a cultural thing at all here.

Traditional Dutch breakfast consists of coffee or tea, bread, cheese or meat deli cuts and sweet spread like jam to put on bread. Sometimes a boiled egg would be part of it on sunday, or a bread made with raisins.

Cooked breakfasts are eaten here by now, but it's due to the influence of social media from other countries. When I was a child we often had scrambled eggs for breakfast on sunday, but that was because my parents were foodies and very much ahead of their time.
And things like potatoes or pancakes for breakfast are still considered odd by most people even now.

Blimey! There must be something wrong with your phone... it should be instant.

Homemade double cheeseburger with fried onions, pickles and spicy burger sauce.

I had a go at this today:

Except instead of sous vide halibut, I pan fried some sea bass fillets I had:

It was quite a bit of work but it was delicious.

Breakfast time in the swamps and today, it was an omelette split over two slices of toast and topped with Canandian bacon. On the side, I had a hash brown patty.

But...but...you come from The Land Of Pancakes!

Yes, you are right. My phone is showing signs of malfunction. Sometimes the letters/keyboard freeze, or gallery will not open, or I cannot turn anything off, or a yt video goes green pink yellow distorted, caps on cannot get switched off...for the last 2 months or so. From time to time...

Do I?

We like pancakes but it's considered dinner here, and it's not considered a specific national dish.

That would be stamppot met worst ( mash with various veg, gravy and sausage) .
Not very inspiring, I will admit.
I prefer our navy's national dish, the ' blauwe hap' ( Indonesian food) . Blauwe hap means ' blue meal ' referring to the navy barets

Do I?

We used to have a couple of pancake house restaurant chains here, probably went out of business in the '70's or '80's, one called Dutch Pantry and the other Pannekoeken House (or something like that), and they both had a campy Dutch theme for their decor.

Now I remember another one, when we lived in Minnesota, Pannekoeken Haus or Huis, I think, and it was sort of the same atmosphere there, so I always associate pancakes with that.
