OK, but where are the roasties?
Good point.
Very tip of one poking out on the left of the right Yorkie, the rest under the Yorkies - don’t worry, they are there - best part of the dinner!Quote:

My favourite bit of a fry up is the egg yolk with bacon - always save that for the last couple of mouthfuls. [emoji4]
Looks good Alex.
The only thing that's fried in our 'fry ups' these days is the egg. We should probably call it a grill up :) We'll be off to our local Harvester pub in the morning for one, they do a decent job, including their tea, which comes in a pot. I think it's about 7 quid all in, with toast, though I never pay so that's a guess.
That's true, bacon grilled, hash browns, sausages and tomatoes in the oven and baked beans nuked. Eggs were fried, and if I had had any mushrooms "in stock" they would have been fried in butter, garlic and herbs but as it was a last-minute lash up for me and my son (whilst wife and daughter were "enjoying" a Christmas fair in Southwold) we had to do without the fungi.Quote:

Gammon steak, air-fried chips, egg, sugar-snap peas, green beans, leek, carrot and grilled tomato:
A couple of mandarin oranges for dessert, and a glass of 2023 Moulin Du Prieur, Bordeaux to drink.
Broke the egg yolk again! Not that it makes any difference to taste, but aesthetically it would look better if it wasn't broken. Surely there must be some gadget that can crack an egg without breaking the yolk?

Rice and chips? !!!! :eek:
I quite often have half 'n' half rice and chips when I have my Chinese 'special' curry.
Do you also eat fish and chips when you're on holiday in Spain?Quote:

If I am served something I don't recognise, I won't ask what it is before I eat it. Afterwards I will ask what it is called, so if I like it I can ask for it again and if I didn't like it I can avoid it! Only rarely have I been caught out: tortoise was a memorable disappointment, whereas octopus was a very pleasant surprise.
Only if they have HP sauce :)Quote:
