The *FULL* cooked breakfast thread - back me up

Grimsby Institute, £3.95View attachment 316633

More destitute than institute that breakfast

 

[seeformiles]

We had breakfast of two rashers of back bacon, baked beans, two fried eggs, Bury black pud and toast - all dotted with freckles of HP Sauce.

I can only make that if all family are out

 

[Sue]

What is it? I'm hoping for mushrooms but fear it's something....else.

 

[DaveCinzano]

It's like if that east London cereal cafe joined up with that east London 'museum' to offer a cross-branded cooked breakfast

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Is it kidneys?

Bless you

Is it kidneys?

Bold use of the present tense

 

[rutabowa]

Is it kidneys?

yes, delicious. I always think of Ulysses when eating kidneys:

Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. But most of all, he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

That breakfast cost around 70 pence.

 

[rutabowa]

One thing I have learnt though: do not buy kidneys unless you are going to eat them in the next 12 or so hours, as the smell of kidneys on the turn in a fridge makes other people pretty angry.

On a vaguely similar note, I once bought a diced steak salad in Japan from a supermarket for breakfast. Despite not being able to read Japanese I recognised the word for beef. I then discovered upon eating it was a boiled calf's liver salad and it was not very nice at all.

I was hoping for figs but mushrooms would be ok as well

Man 'no longer friends' with pal who bought him 'traumatising' £11 fry up

Frederick Payne ordered an £11 full English breakfast from a cafe in Hampshire - but is reconsidering his friendship with the pal who recommended the venue after seeing the unusual additions to the plates

The ramekin of beans has to go. Replaced with fried bread or hash browns would be fine.

look it was not a human kidney I know I didn't specify but it was not

I've just been reading about a hyperlocal cooked breakfast item from the Calder Valley, Dock Pudding - made from the leaves of the bistort plant (an abundant weed round there apparently), nettles, spring onions and oats, fried in bacon fat. Anyone tried this delicacy?

I've not tried it, but it's apparently a very old traditional recipe. Would give it a go if oats didn't play havoc with my acid reflux Not on an FEB though, but I'd probably at least try a bit to taste it despite the oats.

I've cooked nettle tops in bacon fat and found them delicious, so I'm keen to give this a go - out of season now though, so I'll have to remember next spring...

Foraged nettles worked well as an accompaniment to bison Thai green curry we knocked up whilst camping a couple of years back

I've cooked with nettles quite a bit this year - I do a mean nettle & goats cheese gnocchi (so nice the youngest asked for it for his birthday tea) - it should be on the menu more often than it is. I guess its the stinging puts people off - you have to remember to take sturdy gloves with you when you head out to forage...

It’s the dogs pissing on it that puts me off.

Just take the tops.

I mean when it comes down to it, everything we eat can get pissed on or shat on by something and is sometimes even fertiliser for it, which is why we wash our fruit and our greens before eating them.

I wasn’t being serious. Mrs LR makes a nice nettle and potato soup.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, nettle, potato and dog piss soup.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Well, nettle, potato and dog piss soup.

She tells you it's dog piss but

 

[Raheem]

She tells you it's dog piss but

She probably says it's nettle, potato and pee, then smirks inwardly.

One of the great breakfasts of the world is Pho.

 

[Artaxerxes]

That's the thing about all these quick easy breakfasts on the shop. They are all so fucking generic and dull.
