Another weekend away, the Marriott at Lingfield Park wanted £15.90 each for breakfast, so we decamped to Wetherspoons in East Grinstead and fed three this plate each with drinks for the price of one at the hotel.
£3.60 for this......

£13 for 2 of these with tea and coffee. Not the cheapest but quality is always decent at this place.
Here in East Glasgow we put beans in a wee pot. A steel spot. I HATE the feeling, sound of a fork or knife on this wee pot.
That looks absolute top hole.Here in East Glasgow we put beans in a wee pot. A steel spot. I HATE the feeling, sound of a fork or knife on this wee pot.
Other pics on this page... I love a Spoons breakfast but that bacon looks a bit dodge, free tea / coffee refils for £1.35 not to be sniffed at. Vegan breakfast
This morning’s effort (I suppose it’s really lunch, if we go off the time, but I’ve had a lie in and it’s the first thing I’ve eaten, so I’m going with it being breakfast).
It’s “Strammer Max”, literally “Strapping Max”. GF is from Hamburg and tells me this is their regional(ish) version of it, although I had muffins that needed using, so I went for them instead of rye bread, which is also good when toasted and liberally smothered in butter (as are most things, to be honest!).
Muffins (toasted and buttered), scrambled eggs, brown shrimp, ground black pepper/Icelandic rosemary salt again and Thomy brand Hollandaise sauce. It’s not pretty, but it tasted great. I’m off out to view a house in a bit, then a “few” beers after that, so this should set me up nicely. Especially as there’s really enough for two!
Again, the photos are a bit disappointing if I’m honest. It was much yellower (in a good way) in real life.

I'd eat and enjoy that, but when I was introduced to Strammer Max (inner German Border patrols, late 80s) I seem to recall it was ham and fried eggs on bread/toast. Very delicious it was too.
