Was meant to be at a car meet this morning held at a cafe but got snowed off - was looking forward to having a fry up so had to make my own at home.

The beans are touching the egg! I said...........THE BEANS ARE TOUCHING THE EGG

Cooked the sausages last night, so I could rush out the door this morning.

And before you ask, there wasn't enough!

Everything is touching everything.

I'm with TtW - I am the Conductor of Breakfast, and I shall determine who combines with who. It's just the rules.

Blueberry Pancakes with Maple Cured Bacon. I was always an Eggs Benedict/Royale lover but I’m feeling torn. Not as pretty, but this just works.

That just looks wrong.

Why?

Being hyper critical, pancakes a bit dark for my preference, see my pic a few pages back. Bacon looks fine. Plenty of maple syrup. I'll have to be more generous with the syrup in my plating up in future, splooshing it about like Gretchen has done means there is syrup sitting on the plate for dipping and not soaked into the pancakes like mine usually is. So that's good, just that genuine Grade A first tap light syrup is so flaming expensive so you don't fling it about willy nilly.

Only fair criticism I have, needs eggs, sunny side up.

Pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee, multiple cups.

My mouth is getting dry from just looking at how salty all that is

Beans really have no place in a cooked breakfast, but if they have to make an appearance, they should be in a separate bowl and not on the main plate.

You can't start a fight like that at this time of night.

The debate around Beans and red or brown sauce is like Northern Ireland and Israel rolled into one.

But in short - separate bowl? FRO.

Beans, depends on the sauce content, too much sauce does not have a place, but beans with limited sauce, carefully placed to allow moppage by fried bread, or at a complete stretch toast is Ok, runny beans slathering all over the place just no. And separate bowl, agreed, FRO. Plus don't even get me started on tinned sodding tomatoes! I'd rather have a breakfast garnished with those pink fecking wafer biscuits, topped with salad and cottage cheese.

Is that how to start a fight?

[castex]

Are you saying he doesn't know how to cook beans now?

Well those beans have far too much runny sauce for me to be included in a fried breakfast. Simple beans on toast though, more sauce the better. Just my opinion, others are available.

Well Twig started it, but you've just finished it with a haymaker.
I can't argue with anything you have said,

I'd add that they should get cooked last, in the pan used for the sausage/bacon etc.

Oh right you're talking about Sleap Aerodrome chef. No, you're right. Barely heated. It's a shocker.

[Bonefish Blues]

I'd rather tinned plum tomatoes than beans with any quantity of sauce.

[castex]

Tomatoes need reducing. Like the beans.

[dimots]

Don’t forget the pea shoots!

There's no need for a tomato. Tinned, Grilled, or sauce. Just no






Tomato quotient provided by well cooked beans.
