I reckon thats gone up at least £5 since I last went there, before the pandemic. Eating out quite a bit recently, cos next year I reckon we'll be reining it in a bit?

Xann Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 She's bought a Smartbud ear cleaner. Cordless streaming camera on a stick with a little spotlight and shovel, displays on an app. It's brilliant bit of technology, but a potential recipe for disaster. The first Youtube video review we clicked on wasn't the best. Duly the bloke managed to completely block up his ear with aged treacle coloured earwax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't keen on the sausages though, one of those meaty types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add coffee and juice to that and its about £23 at the Ivy! Just a local cafe/lounge up the road from me. Very nice, don't get me wrong, and as an occasional treat, I don't mind paying. Won't be doing it every week though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a premer inn breakfast on Saturday - not too bad to be fair. £9.50 all in and my daughter got her breakfast free as is under 16! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It's just the beans. They go on the plate when I say so. Once the toast, eggs and bacon have gone, only then can the bean juice run free with the sausages. I'm sorry if my aristocrat ways offend you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about it too much, but I see why some people do when it's something in a sauce, it's not about the food touching, it's about being able to control which bits are dry and crunchy and which bits go soggy. At home I'll shove the beans on the plate where I want them, at a cafe I'd rather have them in a side bowl so I can put them where I want rather than risk the dreaded full-english soup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2022 First caveat, I don’t like baked beans. So I will replace them with tinned spaghetti when this discussion is brought up. I’m not precious about it, but I prefer things like toast to be away from the sauce on the plate as the toast should be relatively crisp. I don’t much like soggy toast. The sauce can touch the eggs, bacon, whatever else. That’s fine with me. Regardless, it’s been ages since I’ve had anything that could be even be considered something like a full english breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Got to get the beans involved early to soak up all the flavours. Add some tomato ketchup in there as well. I like to put a bit of every ingredient on the plate onto toast and fold it to make a mini full English sandwich. Beautiful. Oh and if anyone attempts to put mushrooms or black pudding near my plate I will drop kick them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's got like a teeny version of the thin spoons you used to get for adding ingredients to test tubes at school, with a slight upturned lip. It goes on to the camera stick like a bayonet and it's illuminated by the light. One way around and it's like a scoop you push into the wax, rotate 180 degrees and it's like a hook. I'm assuming using it like a hook is safer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
