Breakfast with Jon Snow

Chelsea M-C

“Dolorous Edd made the trek to the kitchens and soon was back with a tankard of brown ale and a covered platter. Under the lid Jon discovered three duck’s eggs fried in drippings, a strip of bacon, two sausages, a blood pudding, and half a loaf of bread still warm from the oven.” (Dance with Dragons)

Jon Snow’s Breakfast

Our Thoughts:

Duck Eggs are delightful.

This is a fairly straightforward breakfast, but one that is unmistakably Northern. Each element of the meal, from the black pudding to the dark ale is heavy, packed with the calories necessary to keep warm and alive on The Wall. The duck eggs are gooey and rich, pairing especially well with the bacon and black pudding, such that despite not being brothers of the Night’s Watch, we cleaned our plates completely.

All in all, we vote this an  ideal breakfast if you have planned a day of snowshoeing, winter lumberjacking, or sword fighting in the snow for several hours on end.

Make it at Home

Ingredients:

We made our breakfast in the order listed above, except for the oatbread, which we made the day before. We cooked the bacon first, then cooked the pudding and eggs in the bacon grease. You can also choose to fry up slices of the bread, as we see in other sections of the books.
In a separate pan, cook your sausages, then assemble all the elements on your plate, and serve up. You can adjust this meal to serve as many as you like.
