He knew about it. I asked him what the ingredients were and he
told me. And I tried it and loved it even though some of the
ingredients sounded a bit strange - especially the beans.
He did tell me that his family and friends really didn't eat
breakfast that way. I had no reason to not believe him. Perhaps
you grew up on the other side of the city in a nicer
neighborhood?
I have no argument with you on this. I've never been to
Manchester.
I just passed on what I was told from another Manchester person.
