Breakfast dilemma

[calibrax]

Fry up or porridge?

I have eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausages, beans, bread, oil. minimum 30 minutes to cook, then 1 plate, knife and fork, two pans and a bowl to wash.

I also have Oatso Simple. A few minutes in the microwave, 1 bowl and 1 spoon to wash up.

Fry up is the preference, but I can't decide if I can be arsed or not...

It's Sunday morning, what's the rush?

[Mr Roper]

Have porridge....

Or pop to the shop for some black pudding then have a proper fry up.

Well, in the end I just had a banana...

But I will make up for it tonight. Just browned a brisket and bunged it in the slow cooker with celery, carrot, onion, beef stock, some port (didn't have any red wine!), tomato puree, Thai fish sauce (for the umami), a few cloves of garlic, and a splash of soy sauce. Will cook it for 10 hours, and serve with mash and savoy cabbage.

Should have went for a fry up, washing up could wait til later.

A fry up takes you 30 mins to cook? You can halve that without too much trouble.

It's the sausages. I like to do them in the oven for nice even browning.

Me too, although I took them out prematurely on Saturday due to hangover and a hungry friend.

I'm struggling to find good sausages at the moment. Sometimes a simple cheap Richmond beats a supposed special supermarket brand. My local butcher's were no better either.

I too also find that for breakfast sausages, the middle of the price-range ones are easier to stomach. But in the evening I find the more expensive, more flavoursome ones a more suitable with mash, or in ragu's etc.

Fry-up / oven? Crazy talk.

Get a frying pan with a lid.

Porky Whites. Excellent sausages.



Waitrose/Ocado do them, £1.99 for six.
