Do a search on the net as there are lots of variations - another search would be for Bannock or other west coast native dishes - there is some really nice stuff.

Just a thought, we had some awesome breakfasts when we were there, would I be right in saying that it's eggs,back or streaky bacon, hash browns and pancakes and syrup all on one plate?? sounds good to me.

Okay I get the idea, we have a similar thing here.

Thanks guys great response and some great ideas, a couple of the chefs I talked to today figured it would be cool to dress up and serve some of the food, should be a hoot, I'll let you know how I get on. :rockon:  :rockon:
