Ketchup on eggs? Contentious in my view.

Here's this morning's effort with grilled plum tomato, duck egg and bacon cured from the butcher in Cupar. MiL's crockery.

Today’s effort, topped with homemade tomato ketchup....

Apologies for the chipped plate...

Nice. The homemade ketchup is intriguing.

I use this recipe....

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7787/homemade-...

I make a batch and leave it to “condition” for a month in a Kilner jar.

I use the mixed variety tomatoes they sell in Aldi or Tesco (mixed tomatoes, yellow, plum, red etc).

If you like a bit of a kick you can increase the Chilli content to suit.

Works great on a FEB or burgers, hot dogs etc.

It works well on scrambled

Yep, I think scrambleds are fair game for any type of sauce tbh. I like spicy sauces on my scrambleds if there's no bean / 'oops juice on the plate as well.

Ketchup should be reserved for use on an egg and chips tea.

It's pointless trying to educate you fools, Branston beans are like nectar to the sausage.

Branston beans are so much better than Heinz. The sauce is so much thicker and actually has some flavour

Even Aldi Corale jobs at 24p a tin are better than Heinz. Don't understand how they're so popular.

You can make any beans better by adding a bit of butter while cooking, and a dash of brown sauce!

You can make the beans taste even better by removing the saucepan from the hob, emptying the content into the bin, washing out the pan and replacing with spaghetti hoops.

Excellent.

My mum always said when I was growing up "you're a duck egg" ...

I know realise how much of a compliment that was, they taste so much better than a hens egg.

Wot no beans!?

And all the better for it. Beans, or 'oops, have no place on a proper cooked breakfast. None.


There, I've said it.

Been an interesting read the last few pages, it does make you think about what your great breakfast thread should include and being a PH one it will have a British bent rather than say, USA. Hash browns on a breakfast? Noooooooooooooooo

I had a thought and came to the conclusion that the holy trinity would at least be

Bacon
Egg
Sausage.

And then you can add the 2nd division of mushrooms, fried bread, beans, tomato, black pudding ....

Third division is the pot of tea and toast .....

But then in the past the British breakfast has far more kippers ! And Indian style smoked haddock or salmon kedgeree etc . My summation is the more variety the better.

A British bent with foreign beans exactly how?

Your premise is a good one, but the conclusions drawn must not remain unchallenged in civilised company (or on Pistonheads for that matter )

Add gammon to eggs and chips, too.

Popped into a nice place in Bradford in Avon, spotted chorizo hash on the menu, one of my favourites, this one a bit of a twist with avacado. But it was bloody delicious, garlicky, Smokey, new potato’s cooked to perfection and very crispy

I would have preferred some spinach and cheese on it though, but really enjoyed it

[Bonefish Blues]

Stop 'twisting'

Everything's a twist on something these days. No it's not. I went to a restaurant on Monday where the menu was described as a British Twist on Tapas. No it wasn't, it was more of a case of 'Not as good as Tapas'

Here we have a serious case of 'twist remorse'.

I agree, avacado shouldn’t be be hot, and it is better with spinach in it. Should also be 2 eggs and served with a slice of chiabatta like in Spain

Like this one I had

I'm enjoying ketchup on scrambled with some very hot Mexican chilli sauce on there

McDonalds South Africa Mega muffin breakfast.....

Hash brown and drink as usual....

Mega muffin is-
Egg
2 chicken sausage
Chicken roll
1 boerwors patty (extra 6 rand)
Ketchup
Cheese

Damn image uploaded won’t allow me to upload on this thread grr!!!! You will just have to imagine it

Verdict - horrible 2/10 even the hash brown was crap because it was basically crispy soft mash
