Saturday Morning Kitchen!

I love this program!  :eatkf:

It's because of James Martin isn't it?

Haha no, it sometimes gives me ideas for when I get out of bed to make my breakfast!

Yeah right. I happen to know that he has a hot tub in his house.

I dont think I need to ask what Michaels been up to  :console: :moon:

 :-[

So does James own or run a restuarant?

I am afraid I know more about his personal life than his professional one...

He's doing a webchat later on. I might ask him.

I don't know to be honest! I dont pay that much attention!

The thing that really fucks me off about these programs is when they use ingredients that you can only buy in speciality shops.

Like, for example, banana leaves.

you'd be suprised what you can find in the supermarket nowadays though!

And prey tell...what exactly is wrong with a bacon sarnie? ;)

Well for starters she puts mayonaise on it

I have a big pack of bacon actually but no brown sauce and i fancy that this morning.

I have waffles, I might cook them too!

Waffles and bacon....how colonial! dont forget the maple syrup!

Maybe ready steady cook would have been more apt this morning then?

whats everyone else having for brekkie?

Coffee.


I need to properly wake up before I can contemplate food. I think I was asleep for 12 or 13 hours.

Regret.

And some cereral.

Do tell!

Having my first grill up for months, bacon, sos, beans, egg, mushys, toms and some toast.....man I am starving and very glad I am not a vegetarian!

I forgot to buy some beans :( and am almost out of ketchup

Drive to the shop and gets some. It isn't far  :)

A hungry man and his breakfast beans should not be parted!

Bagels. If they haven't gone wrong yet.

Just had a bacon sarny.

coffee.

Cheese and tomato roll.

Just had my 2 waffles and 4 rashers of bacon!

HAS A SHOP IN WINCHESTER. LIVES JUST OUTSIDE AT A PLACE CALLED STOKE CHARITY.

OK STOP SHOUTING.

I had marmite on toast.

I had bolied egg with soldiers,managed to get some yolk as well,which is rare as i usually over cook them :cry: Sadly as i grew up in the 80's i'm scared to death of getting salmonella  :-[

i had a bread roll for breakfast. go me

i had cheerios and a cup of tea. woo woo

I've only just got up....probably a bit late for Breakfast....

I skipped breakfast like I normally do and made some pesto and pasta for lunch.

I skipped breakfast and now am having chocolate spread sarnies...

I had the same thing i have every morning at about 7am. Weetabix, Coffee and Fags.

Incidently, in my quest for understanding why Americans seem to have so many different ways to serve an egg, i decided to find out what eggs Benedict are. It's a poached egg, served on an English Muffin, with bacon (although traditionally it's supposed to be ham) topped with a nice dollop of hollandaise sauce. It's sounds quite sexy.

I wonder if Pumbaa or Sonic can tell us/me more about Americans and their love of eggs or am i just imagining this love of eggs?

I don't think it's just a yank thing as everybody likes their eggs. The Thai's have all sorts of wonderfull eggy concoctions on offer and they whip up some mean omlettes.

Something a bit odd happened with this body of mine though and now whenever I eat even a little egg I end up doubled over in pain with stomach cramps. Sometimes I'd kill for an egg mayonnaise sandwich.  >:(

the americans do like their eggs. Last time I was out there we went for breakfast to a resturant that purely did eggs....!

Sunny side up, over easy etc etc. I think they just like eggs Bazza, I don't really have any socially groundbreaking insight to this so called fascination tbh. Sorry.

Frankly its simple. A fresh poached egg is the way to go. We get our eggs fresh from a local farmer, 75p for half a dozen and they are the best eggs I've ever tasted. Supermarket eggs are utter shit and a rip-off IMO.

Eggs are ace, and I probably eat far too many.

Soft buttery scrambled eggs on a nice english muffin for me.

Or maybe a poached egg with mushrooms.

Or maybe a fried egg, bacon and fried bread sandwich.

get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

Duck eggs are fantastic, if you haven't tried them yet, then do.
You will never go back to the chicken variety thereafter, such a rich taste and very filling.
