Cafe in Bethnal Green, decent and was surprised to find 3 pieces of bacon rather than the expected 2.

Looks good, but I'd have traded one of them for the second sausage.

Bacon looks great, I'd happily have 3 bacon and one sausage. I do like sausages but decent bacon trumps decent sausage for me.

Today a colleague asked for two plates as he really dislikes bean/egg interface.

So all that's for one person?

Yes, and he finished it!

No bread at home and I could not be arsed to dress and go to the shop. This is all I had about

Other than the origin of the eggs, how do you cook eggs like that? I can cook most stuff quite well, but for the life of me I can’t cook eggs like that! Maybe using too high a heat?

Yes that would be my bet. You also need a decent amount of oil in the pan (or butter!).

The way to fry an egg is to poach it in butter.

So says Marco Pierre White anyway.

Food: ace

Yes, I go for a medium-low heat, and use the fat from the bacon (not much TBH, cooked before the eggs) in a non-stick pan.

I use a good non stick pan on a low heat, maybe 3/10. Only a teaspoon of oil, and when it's warmed, wipe most of it away with kitchen paper, leaving a fine film (spray oil doesn't seem so to work). Then I put a glass lid on it so the top gets done. Here's one I prepared earlier.

Oil and not too hot is the trick - I use veg oil and put a good glug in a small egg pan.

Too dry and the bottom burns before the top is cooked.
Too hot and the egg bubbles and pops.
Just right and you get a perfect cooked egg as per the pic.

Ketchup abomination - fk off!

[Nickbrapp]

Staying in a crowne plaza hotel, £16.95 for this is not justifiable, there’s a good selection but the sausages where hard.

Could have also have tomato, potato cakes etc, good menu selection like pancakes, different type of eggs etc but was in a rush so just went for this.

Surely a typo? Even at £6.95 it's £3 too expensive. That is bonkers.

That's scandalous! I just had this for around £11 including pint, it was tasty.

Yep, got a payrise and also a bit of a sniff of some compo after a fairly bad accident the other day so I'm drinking and eating in Greene King pubs as of this week

This was Sunday’s breakfast. £6 of ribeye. Nothing fancy, just taken out of the fridge and left on the kitchen side in the sun to get up to room temperature, liberally seasoned while doing so on both sides with freshly ground black pepper and freshly ground sea salt. Cooked in a dry pan, no oil, but finished off with a smidge of butter. Two minutes per side, five minutes resting on a warm plate in the microwave (I warmed the plate in the microwave, then put the steak on the plate, with the door closed to keep it warm - I didn’t microwave the steak).
