Tasty Tradition



OK, I realize this is a heart attack meal waiting for a place to happen, but it only happens once a year. It's what I do the other 364 days that hurts me more than this breakfast.

The annual pork breakfast served by the Eagles at the mall in North Platte is a tasty tradition worth keeping. They have the serving pattern down to a science and there is rarely much time spent in the line just waiting.

The pork breakfast is served on the Saturday morning of the annual NEBRASKAland Days parade. The weather was beautiful this morning so eating there was a pleasant experience.

Some years there has been rain and so drive-throughs are set up and those wanting to enjoy the pork breakfast can drive up, wait a few minutes and receive their meal curbside.

I've always said one of the best things about NEBRASKAland Days is you can eat your way through it, from prime rib sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, flapjacks, to the pork breakfast. For a few days in the earlier part of the week, there were sweet rolls available in the Sweet Saloon. If I've left anything out I apologize. Organizations work very hard, beginning yet this month, to prepare for next year's events.

Thanks to all who make this 10-day celebration so much fun -- and tasty.
