Lard on bread with raw onions = win

You do know that rationing was phased out?

I am quite aware, fankjoo.

Now if you'd explained you meant dripping and Polish bread that wouldn't have been controversial at all.

The luxury add on which completes a FEB is fried bread.

Of this fact there can be no dispute.

I actually prefer certain cheap sausages. I'm not massively keen on the chunks of meat found in some high-end ones. I like it all very fine ground.

Instant coffee IS better than any other kind.

Marrow is shit. Sweet potato likewise. And parsnips are sweet wood and are therefore bokeadelic.

Croissants are irritating to eat and not in the same league as breakfast muffins, toast or crumpets.

Cheddar is the best cheese.

Cookie dough is for developmentally arrested people.

Tinned taties are ace.

Steak is boring.

Crackling is disgusting.

Breakfast cereal is children’s food. You should feel ashamed about eating it as an adult. French cheese is filthy smelly disgusting shite.

I’m interested in how you use tinned potatoes - do you prefer them to fresh ?

Marrow is great if cooked properly - curried work very well as it absorbs the spices

Cake is bullshit. You’re supposed to be excited about cake, someone’s made a cake and brought it to the office. No. Bring me a sandwich or some crisps or meat or something. Not this Victoria sponge travesty. Lemon drizzle. Come on its not that exciting.

 

[xenon]

New potatoes. Why, just why. Leave them in the ground until they’re proper.

 

[souljacker]

Jaffa cakes chocolate is horrid, the orange bit is basically hard marmalade and the cake bit tastes like polystyrene. Fucking minging.

 

[danny la rouge]

Boiled potatoes are better than mashed.

Plain naan is better than garlic naan.

Putting milk in tea or coffee is weird.

 

[pinkmonkey]

Takeaway pizza is one of the worst value propositions in human civilisation.

Agreed, its just cheese on toast that got above its station.

No, but I don't see them as a poor relation either

Plain white sliced bread (Sunblest, Mothers Pride, etc) makes better toast than brown/wholemeal/granary ...

Everybody knows that sliced white bread makes the best, so it's hardly controversial.

I do suspect, however, that Spymaster hasn't actually bought bread for some decades. It's all Warburtons, Kingsmill or Hovis (yes, Hovis white bread) these days Spy.

Tea is the devil's drink.

Why does the Devil have all the best beverages?

 

[Sue]

Why does the Devil have all the best beverages?

Well he obviously doesn't if he has tea, tequila, pastis...

Aye and if this is the case, I would like to provide a recommendation - Warburton's Toastie is the only one of those listed that doesn't contain enough sugar to be at risk of ending up on the cakes list of official food categorisation. Hovis and Kingsmill white sliced are both ridiculously sweet, they make brioche look like a savoury option.

You should eat your weetabix before the milk has had time to turn it into a slurry.They are whole wheat biscuits and you should be enjoying the biscuit crunch. No hot milk either, and if you have fruit with weetabix then you have likely been brainwashed by the serving suggestions on the side of the box.

 

[marty21]

Beans then cheese.

Controversial.

 

[marty21]

I pour hot black tea on my Alpen , also on weetabix . Sometimes I have an Alpen/Weetabix/tea combo.

 

[oryx]

Couldn't agree more. Mushy Weetabix must be the most unappetising breakfast ever!

Disagree

 

[krtek a houby]

Hawaiian pizza is best pizza
Whale meat is tasty
Full Irish breakfast is the only breakfast

 

[krtek a houby]

Totally. Crunchy with the milk just poured over is the best. Conversely, I do like hot milk over rice krispies and the softening that ensues.

 

[oryx]

Disagree

Actually I may have to disagree with myself there.

Soft-boiled egg with runny white bits is the most unappetising breakfast ever.

 

[DotCommunist]

Corned beef pie should make a comeback, and not in wanky artisan mini slices served on a bed of shredded irony either. Shortcrust all over.

 

[harpo]

FEB breakfasts from Caffs are invariably shite.
