Eggs are okay!

I like eggs-my go to breakfast when I am running high in the morning is two scrambled eggs with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. This does not raise my BG readings at all, but of course check for yourself and see if it works for you.

Lunch when my blood glucose is running high is often two hard boiled eggs smashed with a pat of butter and salt and pepper then topped with paprika.

And we often have omelettes for dinner although I do not like water cress or stilton so would omit those.

I never fell for the "low fat is good"-I digest too quickly without fats in my diet and get quite a lot of spikes then lows in BG.

It's a soft boiled egg surrounded by sausage meat and then deep fried for a moment, to cook the sausage meat. Very popular in the UK at the moment and very low carb, if the sausage meat is not full of breadcrumbs and filler... some are getting very exotic, haggis is involved...

Sounds great. What is hagis?

Quick answer. Haggis is the internal bits and pieces of a sheep mixed with oatmeal and put traditionally in a sheep's stomach. Your serve it with mashed turnips.

Okay now you have to tell me exactly what is haggis-we hear horror stories here.

Haggis is the stuff of life. Essentially oatmeal and a lot of bits of pig/sheep that are left over, offal and the like and a heavy dose of seasoning, popped into an intestine tube to make a large sausage type, which is then steamed/gently boiled and served with potatoes (tatties) and neeps. It gets a bad press outside Scotland, which I have never understood as it is a really good supper dish... don't have so many of the tatties myself though.
 
I had a scrambled egg, made with olive oil, a little milk, pepper on top of chopped broccoli. Nice with asparagus(p) too!
 
Thanks hankjam. I knew my answer left a lot to be desired but I wanted to be the first to reply! How pathetic! lol

Okay that is pretty much what I have heard. Posole is the New Mexican version I think, made with sheep"internal bits and pieces" and coarse died corn.

Now back to eggs-do you eat duck, quail,ostrich or other bird eggs?

The Mexicans obviously pinched the recipe from us! lol

New Mexicans actually descend from Spanish immigrants to "the new world" and native peoples who already lived there. So I think they probably brought the recipe over with them along with the sheep.


I like EGGS!
