and you dont like Black Pudding (blood sausage)? why not? its lovely - that has got to be one of my favourite foods (that and bacon butties)
yes cottage pie, that was it.

The black pudding was a bit too strong for my tastes. It was different having beans for breakfast. I liked them, I was just more accustomed to eating them in the afternoon or evening. I have also never been fond of tomatoes and that was a breakfast staple as well, which I avoided too. We did enjoy the fresh scones at breakfast time.

Have you tried a smoked sausage supper ? with a pickle and loads of tomato sauce......mmmmm, enough to make me wanna move back.

Too many and you'll end up with a chip butt-y of your own, but they were tasty. The pekoras were amazing too. They seems to occupy the same soft spot in my heart that a nice 6 pack of McNuggets at 2:00am does, but with ...[text shortened]... e. Didn't get to try the deep-fried everything else though. Any recommendations/warnings?

Ah, funnel cake! I had that on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. I mostly remember it because of the funn(el)y name, although I think it was tasty, too.

Funnel cake....very tasty! Fried dough and powdered sugar...mmmmmm! They're big in Pennsylvania and the Jersey shore. Had one last summer when I was on vacation.

I found this stuff in Erie, PA during "Rib Fest," they just call it "fried dough." PA is weird.

Agreed. PA is a strange place. Could be that you had a zeppoli (which is also fried dough--Italian thing). Similar to a funnel cake, taste-wise, but the funnel cake looks cooler.

No. Erie, PA only has white people, black people, and Greeks for some reason. Greek dogs, Greek burgers, fries with Greek sauce and cheese - that stuff is good eating. But only if you're not health conscious. Also it has no relationship to actual Greek food.

No. Salad is intrinsically contrary to the idea of PA Greek food. The "sauce" is actually butt loads of mince (ground beef) with a secret blend of herbs, spices, and fats. So it's a hot dog drowned in beef, a burger with extra beef, chips with beef and cheese... You get the idea.
