Breakfast at Belvoir

[wellinghall]

"I can still smell the little paraffin lamps that flickered under the silver dishes of eggs, bacon, sausages, kidneys and kippers; beyond them on the sideboard stood huge chargers bearing hams, tongues, cold chicken and cold pheasant. On the table itself there were silver toast racks - constantly replenished - plates of hot scones, innumerable marmalades and jams (all home-made in the still-room) and glass bowls in which floated discs of dark yellow butter, each stamped with the Rutland crest, a peacock in its pride."

Trying to Please, John Julius Norwich

Where's the kedgeree? Breakfast FAIL.

I want that breakfast. I would live without the kedgeree (though prefer it to kidneys).

I could just fancy eating that now, if only I had the staff to prepare it for me :-) Possibly this is an indication I should go and eat something though, as it is getting rather late. :-)
