The Breakfast Thread

[Fez]

Sounds all wrong but I'll give it a go. Not sure the wife will want teabagging for breakfast though.

It'll give her an appetite ...

Used to get "bacon and tom" and an extra "best cake" from Pop Ins Café back of Oxford Street off Wincolmlee. You could make a second sarnie with the extra best buttered cake.

True story.

Ye used to go in there a lot. They were proper hot cakes weren't they?? Holness caff top of Brazil st did too.
Used to be full of Gas Board workers in pop ins

When I was A wet behind the ears youth the gaffer used to send me to the shops for the bacon/sausage sarnies.
One greedy ****er used to ask for two tomato dipped.
Two bread cakes dipped in the fat off the bacon/sausages and then dipped in tomato. So he just paid for the bread cakes.

Not thought of that for thirty years.

When I started my apprenticeship at Fenners I used to do the sarnie run every morning. A place at the end of Marfleet Lane. They had two frying pans, each about a yard wide and everything just got thrown in and fried. I'd often spend the whole morning walking backwards and forwards there as the fitters came in from different jobs having missed the first run. If I wasn't walking there I was walking to the stores, the post room, the telex room or the R&D block. I covered miles.

Johns Sandwich Bar I believe.

Mine was trips to The Inkerman Tavern (Alfred / Edgar St); brill heart attack in a bun, but even better chicken salad bap 1970-72. Pops was decent, too

Up until 2005 at Hunsley school you could get a belly buster from the canteen. Two fried eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and hash brown in a giant bread cake. Until Jamie Oliver ****ed us over and they started serving flapjacks and cereal. The **** him.

An alternative to the standard fryup is a pair of kippers (pref manx and on the bone) with back bacon and fried leftover mash. With tea of course.

In fact I could eat fried leftover mash with just about anything.

Bleedin' 'ell. I think I prepared his accounts for a few years when I was a kid in an accountancy shop. Forgot all about him. Never been there mind. Never had the jabs to cross the river.

He turned over a lot for a small sandwich place. Decent profit too.

I'm not surprised. The place was constantly rammed.


If he'd have shut down, productivity at Fenners would have increased 200%.

His main clientel were the likes of Fenners, Priestmans and Saltend. Plenty of industry on Hedon Rd for old Johnny boy. The shops still there and is still known as Sandwich Bar, not sure about John though.

Rheged.

That's the one Ernie, can recommend the breakfast..

 

[tigerscanada]

Kedgeree at Tiffany's - only after 1 p.m.
Excellent thread btw.

Alternate: Kippers & poached eggs wi'a couple of pints of Guinness.

 

[tigerscanada]

For the really hungover breakfast then while cooking your full English it is acceptable to have cold baked bean sandwiches on white bread...just saying

We must have read the same manual. The one that insists on chilled IPA as a side order

 

[tigerscanada]

I'm a retired cardiologist...however, still up for consultancy work. Reasonable rates. pm me if interested and your bank balance is substantial.

Same applies for jalapeños.

It's spelt with a j for a reason.

Any twat pronouncing it with a h deserves a right hander to the chops.

A rigjt jander in the cjops you mean ?

Smoked haddock or cod with poached eggs, but never with kippers, to much of a clart on.

The Guinness breaks the clart down. Along with poaching the kippers rather than grilling them. In my experience obviously. Could explain why I'm on cholesterol balance reduction meds. ****it - that's in Thailand ain't it ?

Try them in silver foil with butter and water (good splash), pour over on the plate and soak with your bread. The clart is the bones unless you're using fillets ... although I like the idea of Guinness with them ...

Back in the day there used to be a guy came round in his van every Wednesday selling Hot Cakes. He used to park up on our street and holler what sounded like "Hot diddy Hot Cakes". Just remembered.
