Looks fine.

Top tip for perfect poached eggs is to keep chickens, and use eggs laid that morning, poached in water with a splash of white wine vinegar.

You end up with egg soup as the eggs aren’t super fresh I.e. bought from a supermarket:-)

Another tip is to only use Ayam Cemani chickens. You will need to rear several though, as they're low intensity egg layers.
Anything else is a compromise too far.

Just looked them up. Handsome chickens.

Had to look that one up:

Wiki said:

Ayam Cemani is an uncommon and relatively modern breed of chicken from Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation, making the chicken entirely black, including feathers, beak, and internal organs.

Strewth!

Tastes like chicken.

My MIL god help her does that thing where she creates a whirlpool in a small pan then lobs the egg in. They come out like baseballs. Never going round her house again for breakfast.

I get a large frying pan, on the simmer and drop your eggs in as close to the surface of the water as you can, then just use a spatula to genty lift the egg off the base of the pan after 30 seconds or so. A good tip to check when cooked is to lift the egg out of the water on a spatula and gently shake it, only the yolk should wobble.

Crack or black pepper and a pinch of salt and sitting on a nice buttered piece of granary bread toasted- perfect.

One from the weekend....




The fried bread is hinding under the eggs.

[RC1807]

I'm salivating!

[FiF]

Jesus, I'd not move for the rest of the day if ate that lot, even without the tomatoes which wouldn't get near the plate.

This looks decent! Homemade?

Have to agree though, not a fan of tomatoes

Heathens. Beans are just wrong - tomatoes is where it's at.

Going to have to disagree mildly. Tomatoes are not to my taste, but if folks like them on a plate of full English then that's their choice, likewise you don't want beans, fair enough, not to your taste but not wrong.

Now let's turn to the shambles that is the incipient bean / egg interface disaster front, hell *that's* wrong.

I genuinely don't understand the PH obsession with eggs and beans touching. One of the most delicious bits of a fry up is wiping the toast with the beans and eggs.

Can't do that with the way I eat an egg. Cut round the yolk so its free of 99% of it's white and then eat it whole. Moisty explosions in the mouth. I do however like mopping up the beans with toast at the end.

I have a friend (honest) who saves the unbroken egg yolk and the main 'eye' of a bit of bacon until last, he then manoeuvres the yolk onto the bacon eye and slides his fork underneath for that last egg and bacon ultimate mouthful.

Your friend is a very savvy breakfast eater.

bks.

That means there is no yellow goo yolk to go around whilst eating the rest of the breakfast.

I like the idea of the Bacon/Yolk explosion, but I'd need 'spares' for that. It can't be worth overlooking the Yolk during the general devouring....

Multiple eggs required. :-)

It's not a purely PH obsession it's also a no no on that full English Breakfast Facebook group that I'm not a member of as don't do Faceache.

Mopping up beans with toast, definitely. Mopping up yolk with toast, again definitely. Beans spilling onto egg white, not for me thanks, but if it floats your boat crack on.

Incidentally on my fry ups, I do a fried slice cut in halves. One half sits under an egg, the other half controls the beans, less bean juice is preferred.

But if I'm having beans on toast, more juice the better, make of that what you will. In fact often eat the beans first then the juice laden toast afterwards as the best bit.

Baked beans on toast with a st load of melted, salted butter under the beans is a fking dream combo.

Couldn't agree more....Baffles me that eggs touching beans itches some people's piss.

It's likely the same breed that made ramekins a thing.
