Today's lunch was nearly epic, baked beans with plenty of sliced salami warmed in it with a couple of lovely looking seed covered bread rolls.
However I'm living in the Netherlands and don't spenk the local lingo so failed to notice that these excellent tasting rolls were sweet and full of sultanas, thus failing to complement the beans and salami.

I must confess, I'm struggling a little with the use of the word 'epic' in the context.
My most obvious food failure was in my childhood- a spiced cake that called for mixed spice. I misread and used mixed herbs. It wasn't unpleasant, just wrong. More recently I've dropped a whole lasagna getting it out of the oven to serve it (aaarrghh!). I seem to have a rotten time with poached eggs, too. "Egg soup, again?" has been heard a few times too many 'round here.

The Dutch would probably eat them like that. Nowhere else have I seen people eat (sweet) pancakes with bacon.

Cheese and ham
Ham and cheese
Cheese, ham and cheese
Ham, ham, cheese and ham
Cheese, ham, cheese, cheese and ham...
