Most mere mortals have 1, maybe 2 if feeling strong, but 3!

4 for boiled eggs, omelettes or french toasting.

Further refinement of the complex logistics of the perfect fry-up tonight

Cook the hash browns from frozen and stack them to keep warm while the most delicate operation -the spooning of the eggs - is performed.

I noticed hash browns featuring in Mendip's classic cockney caff fry-up. Good to see the British fry up is not above absorbing foreign influences when they are well deserving of absorption.

Plate up and garnish with freshly microwaved spicy rich Watties - possibly my favourite baked bean at the moment.

Baked beans were always British in the context of fry-ups and do not constitute foreign merkin influence).

And yet...there they are....

I love my eggs, but three? That’s hard core.

It's not a fry up without bacon

It's also missing black pudding but I was too polite to say

Instead of those American Hash browns, try fried bread for a proper HW fry up.

Don't get used to it though, it'll put you in an early grave.

They're not eaten by Americans, apparently.

The Mac master meets Walk on the wild side for the best English breakfast ever and it's in Blackpool!!

1st fry-up of 2024

Stack up the hash browns to make way for the eggs

Who could have dreamed that the humble British kitchen would be the birthplace of the greatest dish in the history of cullinary concoctions

I prefer new potatoes, saved from dinner the night before, rather than hash browns. Halve them and fry them with the sausages.

I have fried bread as well instead of the third piece of toast.

Three eggs in an omelette but never more than 2 poached or fried...for me.

I do the same but fry them up with onions, mushrooms, red peppers, cheese, and chorizo to make a hash topped with over easy eggs.

A lot of effort for a heart attack on a plate, a bowl of cornflakes would have sufficed.

Used bacon chops instead of that wafer thin bacon you get in the UK nowadays.
The plummed peeled tomatoes were a good call.

Here you go TD members , a full monty...

Anyone recognise the face

Worthy of a bump and a timely reminder to recreate this monstrosity.

For anyone who fancies throwing up their breakfast and havng half a grapefruit instead.

Can I just go straight to the grapefruit?

I have not seen a double-yolker in over 20 years I think.

I had forgotten that they existed until I cracked eyes on this bewt. Although I am not a prodigious egg consumer, averaging maybe a dozen or 1.5 dozen per month.

I thought I was getting a yolk bonus (my favourite part of the egg) but the yolks are smaller than the single yolk; possibly even smaller than half the size. They looked like identical twins to my untrained eye.

Another eggs-tremely strange frying pan occurrence when the whites joined to form a Siamese egg balloon
