I forgot, one of my favourites is the french toast and bacon served at the little cafe up the street from me where the lovely young waitress who always smiles and chats to ya works...

I'm not much of a snack man, but there is one exception. Traditional rye snacks that are very easy to make at home. Some local restaurants have these as starters, but they work as snacks as well. Usually when ladies have their lady evenings they make these snacks and enjoy with beer, wine, herb liqueur or vodka. I prefer them with beer or as starters.

Here's the recipe. The ingredients might sound conflicting, but the result is better than you ever could imagine.

Take a traditional rye bread. It has to be baked almost black; light brown wont do. Slice it into pieces of about 1x1x5 cm (about the size of a French fries).
Put pieces into pan. Fry with mild heat with butter and garlic. Add salt every now and then. Little too much is better than not enough. When pieces are crispy, take away from the pan an let cool down into room temp. Now they are ready, almost.
As you start to eat, put some natural (liquid) honey into small bowl. Dip the bread pieces into honey and eat. Delicious.

A slice of apple pie and a cold glass of milk.

Pickled herring on Ritz crackers.

Olive & Sinclair Southern Artisan (small batch) coffee bean chocolate.

Muddy Pond brand sorghum on my wife's fresh sourdough bread.

My own home canned Blackberry/Raspberry jam on the same sourdough.

Kudos on the sorghum !!
