“Very good, m’lord, only Hobb’s made boiled eggs, black sausage, and apples stewed with prunes this morning. The apples stewed with prunes are excellent, except for the prunes. I never eat prunes myself. Well, there was one time when Hobb chopped them up with chestnuts and carrots and hid them in a hen. Never trust a cook, my lord. They’ll prune you when you least expect it.” -A Dance with Dragons
Three-finger Hobb’s Breakfast
Our Thoughts:
This was a smaller scale, yet immensely satisfying breakfast. The spices in the black pudding perfectly compliment those in the stewed apples, making a bite of the two together something amazing. The egg is the simplest thing on the plate, yet doesn’t seem out of place among the more flavorful elements of the breakfast, instead providing a nice balance for the fruit and meat.
Absolutely a win, and will be a new staple breakfast in our house!
