Food for Your Mother

Krista: OMG. What the hell is that? Is that marshmallows? It looks like a chicken pot pie on top of a? A waffle? Why would you do that? That is just nasty.

Kari: What’s with the peas? No peas for breakfast. And certainly not with already-been-chewed bacon. Is that supposed to be hollandaise? Or just runny egg yolks with chunks of egg whites? OK. Let’s just face facts. It’s barf on a waffle. With cherry tomatoes as a garnish.

It’s …  Bacon and Egg Rarebit.

Ingredients
eggs
bacon
baby sweet peas
butter or margarine
onion
all-purpose flour
milk
sharp cheddar cheese
frozen plain or buttermilk waffles

Krista: OK. That’s more like Bacon and Egg Fakebit. A real Welsh rarebit does not have peas. It does however have Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, and ale. It’s looks like chicken pot pie over toast—but not frozen waffles.

Kari: So this is basically a runny omelet, with peas, over a waffle? Personally, I don’t even like a side of pancakes when I eat eggs, let alone a waffle directly underneath it. And is the tomato purely for garnish or are you supposed to eat it?

Krista: No, rarebit is like a cheese fondue, but, again, this is not a true rarebit. It’s really just a cheese sauce with egg chunks and peas. Furthermore, a frozen waffle for your mother? C’mon she is your mother. If you’re old enough to cook a cheese sauce, you’re old enough to make a homemade waffle. And seriously? Egg chunks and peas? Eww.

Kari: Well, I guess if you really don’t like your mom you could serve her this. Or if she doesn’t have teeth since it looks fairly easy to gum. I think I’d rather just have the frozen waffle by itself.

Krista: Dude, if I’m using the frozen waffle, I’m buying the Stouffer’s frozen rarebit.
