Only way to do it, it's so much better than any other bacon. Nothing more disappointing than biting into a bacon sandwich which isn't 60% crispy fat. The mixing of ketchup and brown sauce on the other hand.... I wouldn't have a problem with cheap sausages (which I know yours aren't) I just treat them as a completely different food than higher meat percentage sausages. One thing I find quite upsetting now is how few places (particularly in London) do proper cheap white fried bread. There are some good little greasy spoons if you know where to look or are in a particular area, but largely it's bullshit brunch spots selling avocado, granola and soda bread.

I agreed to an extent except for as follows: 1. I hope you’re referring to the crispiness of the bacon and not shite American bacon over proper English bacon. 2. I wouldn’t agree with “cheap” bread but I do agree it shouldn’t be on sourdough or whatever. I’m getting bored of received toasted sourdough whenever having breakfast out. That stuff is like shrapnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large mixed grill, chilli fish pakoras, masala chips, cheese chilli naans and butter chicken curry. Well worth the trip across town. This looks bangin’. I remember someone slagged off curry on here once. I’ll never forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff is like shrapnel. I'm talking streaky bacon like in the photo and it has to be crispy. I've never been to America, but understand their bacon is all streaky (presumably belly?) and am well on board with them on this. For toast that's fine, but I'm talking specifically fried bread as I wouldn't tend to go for toast. A greasy yellowed triangle of cheap white bread is the ultimate addition for me.

villa4europe Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 American streaky bacon is thin crispy shit that lacks a proper meaty texture probably because its so thin and fatty, not worth the calories as her on bake off would say, usually overly smoked too from my experience You can get decent streaky bacon here, I think its better on sandwiches though and packed in several slices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Big mistake today. First in to Lidl at 8:00am and the pastries were still warm and were 22p for 3. I’ll just repeat that, teleprinter style, 22 (twenty two) p, for 3 (three). 60 (sixty) p if you bought 3 (three) bags of 3 (three) I’ll be fine, I just need to do 7 hours on the exercise bike later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Saw a post on Instagram (I know I know), and has to copy. Poached eggs on toast. Very simplistic but something so good about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Just tried some of that marmite peanut butter, on toast. It takes some mixing up to get rid of the peanut oil layer on top, but I have to say it’s pretty good. It’s basically crunchy peanut butter, with an undertone of marmite flavour. 8/10 WB again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spoony Posted May 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I usually love cooking and consider myself quite competent Had a shitty day working so decided to do some cooking. Was planning to make my own sweet chilli sauce so I did. **** it up. Chucked it Then made a tomato chutney for a nice quarantine picnic with the missus at the weekend, was tasty but needed a bit of citrus, squeezed a bit of lemon into it which turned out to be gone off and the smallest amount made the whole thing taste like detergent. **** it up. Chucked it. So had half a pint of whisky. Roll on the next day of misery. Edited May 6, 2020 by Spoony 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is the dog's danglies and i think I'm addicted to it to the point i had 5 unopened jars of it in my fridge. When lockdown started i stopped going to my bigger supermarkets and got to my last jar when to my delight i found that the sainsbury's local near me stocked them ! I now have 5 jars again in my fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that people who keep their ketchup in the fridge are probably sociopaths and enemies of the state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
