Underrated things in life

[Hawk Dork]

There was a guy who used to come round to service and repair all the T bars and beer pumps and he'd drink white tea with six. I expect he's in a diabetic coma somewhere now.

Had my wifes cousin come to stay, he was going through 2 kilos of sugar a week in his tea
He didnt believe me as he only used a kilo at home,then he realised half his teas were at mates places

Then add multiple bags of lollies and brown sauce on everything to get some more sugar.
Skinny as a rake and didnt have the diabetes then Im astounded.
He did have severe arthritis I think thats triggered by sugar

Vanilla milkshakes.

Black, sugarless tea. Opens up the variety of flavours on offer instead of just:

• milky tea-y flavour
• sweet milky tea-y flavour (yuck)

This from someone who drank white tea from birth (or near to) until early 40's

Scrambled eggs. ******* delicious.

Omelette over scrambled every day of the week....Especially with some spring onions & Mushrooms diced into it.

Ive been rocking the omlettes lately
Winners are spring onion spinach and feta with a few cherry tomatoes cut up on top
Zucchini and haloumi goes well too

I've drunk black tea and coffee ever since I was a kid and we stayed with stupid hippy friends of my folks who only had soy milk. Tastes so much better.

Careful you don't drown out the egg in amongst that lot.

I dice really small (like 5mm) cubes of potato and lightly fry. Set aside. Then do some diced bacon. Then in that bacon fat i do mushrooms. Add back potato and put in eggs. Turn gas off and leave for 3 mins. Then put pan under the grill to cook the top.
No flipping. And cooked to perfection.

Its stopped being about the eggs, its now about the variety

Camembert and asparagus is another good one
Smoked salmon and brie is good too
Proscuito tomato and parmesan is good too

Some chives, pepper & a few shavings of Swiss cheese is about as exotic as I get.....On top of the Spring onions & mushrooms.....Fresh of course.

Also, the omelette MUST be cooked in good butter.....Definitely not oil or margarine.

I've got acceptable omelette technique but historically favour the simple cheese or cheese + prosciutto.

However your smoked salmon jobby does sound very nice. Couple of capers too?

yes and/or finely diced red onion (not much)

baked beans on toast.

a budget feed that's easy to cook and easy to clean up afterwards.

 

[Wallaby]

Scrambled eggs by a mile. Lots of flavor possibilities. Perfect with a slice of good toast. I'm a smoked salmon and capers man, myself.

Spray of coconut oil, Spinach leaves, 8 egg whites...great omelette

 

[Procrastinator35]

Omelettes are so versatile....There is a danger however of overdoing the ingredients & losing that perfect egg/ingredient balance.

60% egg by my reckoning is the way to go.

 

[Gigantic]

In Thailand, they do a killer omelette over rice dish. Omelette has pork mince inside and is deep fried so the outside is a tad crispy.

I think the term "cook" is a bit of a stretch

 

[M Malice]

Another vote for Scrambled.

No one likes hair in their eggs, that's for sure.

Poached is the best way to have eggs.

That is an objective fact.
