Thread: Lunch ... the second course

Me too.

I would've done two and cut down on the beans and chips.

But yeah, in my book that fried egg might be the first thing he's got right.

^ To be fair I've also got one of these single egg frying pans and it ain't easy to do two eggs... the first one's gone cold by the time the second is ready.

You know you can mix two eggs in a pan and cook them at once?

We made ciabatta pizzarettas yesterday and still had the top off one ciabatta.



That's just crying out for a BLT.







Praise the bacon.

Not in a single egg frying pan though, as Mendip said he's using. I've never seen the sense in those as your limited to cooking one egg at a time (well duh!) so unless you were cooking 1 to put on a burgers all the time or had some similar reason, who'd buy them?

Who'd buy a 'one egg' egg pan except people who want to cook one egg?

That's your question?

^Yeah but who cooks just one egg? I've only ever done that if making a burger at home, everything else needing fried eggs will get 2 or 3 on the plate.

Lots of Thais living on their own, I'd imagine.

Many basic Thai meals are topped off with one.

Also other people who have a 'one egg' pan - maybe given to them by their mum.

With krapow, or on top of fried rice. Fried egg sandwich.

Yeah but the thing with normal sized pans is besides being able to cook a million other things in them you can also cook 1, 2, 3 or more eggs at once instead of being limited to one at time which goes cold before the 2nd one is done - herein known as the Mendip Effect.

Assuming you want more than 1, and who doesn't when they're cooking anything that has eggs on the side (bacon or sausages and one egg anybody?), why not just use a pan you've almost certainly already got? Makes fuck-all sense to me, still can't see any reason to buy one..

Looks great. Almost exactly like the ones from Villa

^^^ Boom boom!


As Cyrille mentioned, this was my Birthday present from my mum this year.



I sometimes wonder if she thinks I live in a tent in Isaan.

I'm not sure if I'd have bought one myself and I haven't used it much... but it's just the job if all you want to cook is one egg. Perfect in fact.

I didn't need Ray Mears' advice for my lunch today... I discovered a Villa Market Cornish pasty in the freezer... I'd forgotten all about it.

Ten minutes in the microwave from frozen did the job, and with hindsight I could have fried up an egg and balanced it on top of the pasty.

But the pasty and beans were un oeuf!

Will take that as a compliment.

How much are Villa charging for 'em?

I don't look at the price.


Just stuff a couple in my shorts and try to look innocent.

Then the girl on the till asks "Is that a ciabatta in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

2nd lunch (first one was really late breakfast)

Post gym tenderloin.

No sides needed.

Nothing really needed other than salt, pepper, butter, skillet.







Was tastier than it looks in the poorly lit photos

Maybe MM can fix them up a bit in Photoshop.

I'd

go

I can't tell from the pic if that ciabatta was toasted, but it should have been.

It was of course. Between pics 1 and 2. While the bacon was making love to the pan.

Lunch and leftovers for a few days is underway.

I would 'score' that fat before putting it in the oven.
