Breakfast roll = Boom

Glebee · 01-03-2019 10:09AM #1

Was at a busy petrol station on Wednesday morning around 10am and the queue at the deli counter with people wearing high vis vests for breakfast rolls was unreal and out the door. Is this a sign that the boom is most definitely back.

Of a Wednesday????

Can I have two of them tracker mortgages, please sir?!?!

Indubitably.

A lot of money is being made in construction again so more buying their brekkie I'd imagine!

It's a long time until their elevenses!

They are convenient, but they aren't nice. I love a good fry, but the thoughts of eating sausages and rashers that have been under lights for 5 hours doesn't really appeal to me.

What we have Hobbits working in the construction industry?

Edit> Beaten to the obvious.

Two overseas interns in work yesterday wallowing in delight in their first breakfast rolls. I guess Germany is a too healthy to have them as standard fare!! Am personally torn between hash browns with lots of salt and rashers and white pudding or a crispy spicy chicken roll with mayo and a bit of cheese. Hold the mayo -Im on a diet.

Can't beat a breakfast roll when hungover, I wouldn't want one every day though.

The boom might be back, but don't forget how that ended.....

Ah sure, you might as well have three while you're at it. All your friends are doing it.

People didn’t stop going to deli’s, I know I certainly didn’t and I’m always in a queue even at the height of the recession so I see now reason to declare the boom is back because you saw a queue at a deli.

That was the excuse when sh!t hit the fan alright. At least there are no 100%ers this time around.

I miss them over here. Why can't the English do anything correctly? The pi$$y Greggs drivel does not compare. The mighty chicken fillet roll too, the closest you can get is a chicken escalope which is basically a breast that has been bashed by a hammer. . . why?

There definitely wasn't queues of builders at any deli near me in 2009.

Delis serving half-decent stodge sprung up during the boom and never really went away, they were always quite popular. There is a bit of building going on here and there lately, in fairness.

Breakfast roll = bust too many a time for this poor student back in the day.

They never went away.

The only bad thing about them was that godawful song by Pat Shortt.

Urgh.

For a bit of variety go for the regional variation - The ESB roll.

Its electric!

Egg, Sausage Bacon = none of that fancy stuff!

Often extremely poor quality sausages and rashers -loads of congealed stringy fat- dried out under the lamps for at least 12 hours- accompanied by the cheapest industrial tomato ketchup the spar could source.

Don’t forget the overcooked fried egg which could double as a greasy frisbee.

Yum, what a treat

12 hours? What time do you get out of the labba for your breakfast roll ?
