Another buffet breakfast.

We went to the local Toby carvery before going out yesterday, so yes that is a massive Yorkshire pudding taking up half the plate!

It's not often we see a Yorkshire on this thread!

Breakfast at a friends house with cheese on toast! Apparently that’s normal

[Regbuser]

Bacon looks thick cut, always a good thing

Your friend has class

A friend like that is worth keeping close.

Yes, rather like cheese to toast.

Wrap it around a piece of the bacon FTW.

Side story: a German ex-colleague of mine once asked me “What do you call it when you cook the cheese on the toast?”. He seemed surprised at the simplicity of my answer

The bacon is from a local farm. This is the “streaky” version. The back version is pretty much like gammon steaks

Breakfast at a cafe with a Turkish influence

Unconventional, but would smash.

To be honest, it's a normal brekkie underneath the toot; I don't know why they felt obliged to slice the sausage in half (speed of cooking?) , drizzle oil over everything and add pointless and unwelcome greens. I paid extra for the 'lloumi.

bolidemichael - and yet you cut yours in half for coverage I assume (shame not put face down in the pan to crisp up however .... But yes - weird how they've done that in a Cafe/Restaurant setting.

bolidemichael said:

Anyway, I’m up next for judgement.

So you're agreeing with me, but also making a completely pointless point

The sausage on my breakfast bun was slow sizzled then sliced like a pro* for bap layered perfection. You guys would love it if I ever got the chance to make you one.

*Frank of Frank and Manny's Cafe in Kingston Upon Thames used this technique waaay back in the eighties when I was just a young lad and it has stuck with me ever since

I too like a slow sizzled snorker/oven baked are good too - but if in a pan - then I'll cook mine, remove, cut in half, and put back in pan cut side down to crisp up - a textural thing for my discerning palate .....

Having now succumbed to the wonders of the Air Fryer - will bake the sausages, remove, cut in half, and then put back in for a a few mins on Air Fryer with a 200c temperature - with cut side upwards for similar effect.

Give it a spin.

I will say - your Baps do look lovely .... (phnaar, phnaar) But would have to swap the actual tomato for the Bap lid being dipped just in the tinned tomato juice (weird I know but just works)

Mrs & Mstr Bolide like the ‘sliced in half and crispy’ thing, I personally like the succulence of fat rendered on a low heat.

He asked for a sarnie after swimming this evening.

In a break from recent thread habit I'll not quote the entire flipping conversation, but I'm waving my red card on account of a post-swimming snack in the evening not being a breakfast as is generally understood. So, despite the impressive demi-sausage browning, I'm stating disqualification* is appropriate.

• But yeah, I'll have a couple of those bad boys thank you very much.

I was wondering when you’d bite

This was for illustrative purposes only.

Not going to be getting photos, but I’ll give breakfast my best shot… trying to shovel a full english down whilst doing my best to focus on talking shop.

£7.50 for a bowl of porridge. I hope the oats were rolled on Penelope Cruz' thighs for that kind of outlay.

[craigjm]

Never been particularly impressed with the Wolseley. Hope its good

I was thinking it was some sort of joke @ £24.50 for 'The English'.

I think as BM is on a grand tour of expensive London breakfasts, a comparative sampling at Hawksmoor is required.

Wolseley breakfast used to be better 10y ago. I remember taking my mum and sisters before an exam and we had some great dishes. There used to be a potato rosti which vanished from the menu, as did the french toast (which was sold as pancakes).

probably down to the change in ownership over the years
