Breakfast Food - Page 5

That reminds me of an argument I got into once. This guy said "Tunafish" when refering to the living creature. I said the proper name of the fish was a "Tuna". I don't know...we never resolved it. He brought a can of generic "Tunafish" to show me. I maintained the label was wrong!

It seems like saying "tunafish sandwich" works, but when talking about the living fish swimming in the sea...it's a "Tuna"! I could tell that guy thought I was ignorant! Hmmm...was I?

oh well...

Well, Terrier dog sounds a bit redundant, but then again, Jersey doesn't sound right without Cow... Who knows? I personally refer to Tuna w/out fish. :shrug:

Oh, and speaking of cheese for breakfast, pecorino and honey on a sourdough... Mmmm....

Mm. I'm hungry.
This sounds like a nice topic . . .hehe
My fave breakfast food is arepas. It's also a nice dinner and lunch food but anyway. It's basically a Venezuelan biscuit, and you can put anything in it. It's a peasant food, cause its real cheap to make but man is it good. Diablito ( a type of ham) is good on it as well as pollo (chicken) and ham and cheese.
Nice way to start the day.
I also am a big fan of breakfast sandwiches. Egg, cheese and bacon sandwiches, home made are great.

Oh, arepas. Those are good. I used to have those when I was very little. I loved them with butter and cheese. Yum. I feel like one now. I should make one.

Odd, do we say: snapperfish, codfish, perchfish, etc.? nope. So, when did the tuna become tunafish when it swims in the sea? It's just odd.

Don't you 'huh' me, I can see that you've edited out your inability to spell the word.

Yep, I did edit it.

After I Realized the Misspelling. Not to mention that I was groggy at the time I spelt it wrong,and hadnt realized I had misspelt it.
And how was I supposed to know what you were talking about in your 'frellin idjit' post? I only figured out what you were talking about when I read your other 'doitright' post in the "gays...." thread.
Sorry to bring this up, but you,ve turned your messaging system off.
