who's afraid of the coronavirus vaccine, or why some experience the 'Nocebo effect'

The full English Breakfast is available almost anywhere but the size of the portions and the items included can vary. I like mine with black pudding.

My local supermarket cafe does a 'basic' breakfast, a 'Vegan' one, a 'Full English' and a 'large English'. You can add whatever you like to those such as extra eggs, sausages, beans... My wife usually has a salad.

I have a Full English about once a month, usually after a visit to the hospital, for some of which I have to starve beforehand. I don't do starving easily.

PS. One of the best I have had was at a now-closed roadside restaurant. They used to obtain their meat products from a local organic butcher, and other items from local farmers no more than five miles away. The quality was superb, as was the cooking done by extended members of the family that owned it. Unfortunately, it did not survive Covid lockdowns.

I need to get back to Ol' Blighty.
 
gotta love how this went from a scientific recognition to a full english breakfast. that's lit for you.

of course, it's also clear that the anti-vaxxers don't want to think about all those unfounded reports of adverse reactions to the vaccines. hmmn.
 
p.s i love meat but wouldn't eat black pudding ever. we don't live in the dark ages.

Black Pudding is like Marmite. You either like it, or you don't.

I don't judge anyone who hates either. But I like both (and Australian Vegemite).

When I was young we had severe rationing. I grew up eating anything and everything I was given even if some dishes are best forgotten.

See George Orwell on British Cookery (written just after the war, when rationing was for some reason still in effect).

Rationing in the years after the war was more severe than during the war. the reason? The UK was broke and couldn't afford to import food. We owed the USA billions for lend-lease (and took decades to pay the debt off).

Germany had funded its war on debt. It had no assets and effectively went bankrupt, propped up with Marshall Aid.

There is still some resentment among older people (older than me and there aren't many left) because the US treated the defeated nations better than its ally the UK.

It's the same with the virus.

I assume there are some studies on this front? Because it should be simple enough once you get a few studies from places with little or no media savvy. They should have lower fatalities, less severe symptoms. IT sure as shit shouldn't be affecting people who think the virus is over rated like much of Rogan's audience.

My grandfather used to say that the only thing that was not used of the pig was it's squeal.
