R.L. Dane    🍵 May 26

lol I was talking about #WaffleHouse yesterday and I just had to go back this morning.

I'm sooo full...

And I was trying to take it easy, just ordered biscuits and gravy and grits.

I forgot that biscuits and gravy has more calories than Uranium. 🤣

Unwanted update: 13 hours since I last ate. I guess I might just be getting hungry now. 😄

@rl_dane @dm @CursedSilicon American breakfast has always baffled me, even when we had the light version up in canada I had to give up after a couple of day, and just eat oatmeal, it was the only thing that wasn't sickly sweet :p

American breakfast has many forms, though, from insane-megacalorie-meal to just-coffee-black-thanks. ;)

@rl_dane @dm @CursedSilicon That might be what it's called in the us yeah, we call them Semmel, but I think I've seen Kaisersemmel as well, it's kind of ubiqutous here, and it's what we have in the breakfast mensa at work :)

@sotolf @rl_dane @dm @CursedSilicon is a Kaisersemmel different from a plain Brötchen(/Semmel) beyond the different cutting pattern on top?

I don't think so really, Wecken are usually the better ones, they are square-ish and usually have more grainy bits in them, the semmel ones just are very plain and probably the cheapest kind of brötchen that you get here :p

@sotolf Isn't Semmel just the regional name for Brötchen?
Also, the thing we call Wecken is usually Milchbrötchen :)

Semmel mostly are the ones with that spiral pattern on top, Brötchen are all of them combined, like Wecken and Semmel and so on, Wecken are the rectangular or rombus shaped ones Milkbrötchen are Milchbrötchen :p

Then you have things that are long something like a baguette or like the Salzstange :p
