Blackgang can fek up a freid egg too, but I didn't mind as his ham was superb.

Thanks Dude, next time kinda plan on cooking your own fucking eggs.

Fuckin Brits Huh? Too lazy to flip an egg. They like crispy 'em on the bottom and raw on top far as I can tell. I may break a yolk from time to time, but at least I make an effort to cook 'em ON BOTH SIDES.

We do, but there's no need to ruin them.

Tilt the pan and gently flick the oil onto the yolk until it is about 50/50 hard/runny. The perfect fried egg.

"Dats the way to do it "

we call that basted. or deep fried best in bacon grease. y'all probably use vegetable oil.

I didn't add bacon grease that morning because I had fried ham, and you can not buy a decent spatula here in Thailand no more than you can buy a good Teflon fry pan here that will last over 2 weeks, and I ain't going to buy a new pan for 700 baht every 2 weeks., I have bought a half dozen spatulas and the sharp edge will roll up on the front making it impossible to get it under an egg for "over easy' eggs without breaking the yoke on the way out of the pan.
So fuck it and most of this shit ain't serious anyway as you are mostly a bunch of hardass's trolling anyway.
So I really do not give a fuck.5555 there, thats all the smileys I get with my new browser 8

PPs hashbrowns look good but too neat and round for me therefore I would vote for Frankies which have a good rustic look to them ... the only question Frankie is what is the grey thing sitting on top of your hashbrowns ?

I was going to ask the same thing, but thought I would start him off the eggs first.

We'll leave it for someone else to ask if he wants some tomatoes with his pepper.

In Australia much of the cook wear comes from Thailand, made here for Australian distributors, but of course a much higher quality than the locally available stuff.
I brought a couple of excellent fry pans locally at Central, made for Prestige (A UK company) style was "Advantage".
They are a year old and the coating is holding out well an they have about 10mm thick bottoms, not cheap at more than 2,500 a piece, but well worth it.

I have that thick S/S with the encapsulated bottoms but they are not as good to actually fry in because the Stainless Steel will not season as does Cast Iron, which I prefer for frying, but do like the S/S for slow cooking or boiling and everything besides frying and the Teflon on the ones I buy here looses it non stick qualities after a few uses and still stays on the pans OK but is not as it is when new, so i will look for some that you recommend, but doubtful I will find them here.
The ones I used in the states was GREY STONE I believe was the brand name and was a sort of Grey color but the Teflon lasted for ever as I do take care of mine and never use metal in them or scrub with a scratcher as there is no need.
Seems like the quality of most stuff you get here that is Made In Thailand is junk or very low quality at best.
Thanks Peter.

Yep, that's the truth. Do you scrape out the cast iron pan, fill it with water, let it boil dry to clean?

Country Gravy. Sausage meat; browned, flour and milk. There's a thread on it somewhere, damned if I'm gonna look for it though.

Don't worry franky, they think gravy is some kind of water and onion/grease mixture with water in it,, never mind, and they also think biscuits is cookies,, so fuck it.

I've never tried cooking roesti/ hash browns at home, but I do a pretty decent corned beef hash. Well, I think so.

Boil the spuds, roughly mash them with a bit of butter or marge. Plenty of onions- the mix I use is about 50% spuds, the remainder about 25% onions & corned beef.

Slice the onions, and throw about half of them in to a hot pan oiled with 50% veg oil, 50% butter or marge. Clarify them, then throw the roughly mashed spuds in (no need to grate them). While frying up, mix 'em around together with a wooden spatula. Then dump in your can of corned beef. Keep mixing & frying.

The rest of the onions slice up finer, and add them towards the end of the cooking process- when you're starting to see the potatoes brown- you want to keep that slight 'raw onion' taste. Ideally sprinkle in some fresh parsley at this stage too but mixed herbs or oregano will also work.

Eat what you want then by all means, browned to taste, but in my opinion the dish is even better stored in the fridge for a day or two, then shaped into patties, refried & browned in a frypan.

A fried egg on top works for me, and if you're lucky enough to have some brussel sprouts or carrots or leeks left over from a roast dinner, chuck them in the hash too. Then you have a sort of 'bubble n squeak' hash.

So actually what you made is corned beef hash and eggs, I like it too, but you can't but canned corned beef hash here that I have ever seen, nor corned beef either. canned or uncooked..

Yes you can --Foodland--not cheap about 200 baht for a tin

The limeys use that stupid tasteless Bisto granule crap to make roast beef gravy. WTF? Do they chuck out the drippings? I'm surprised they don't use instant mashed potatoes.

And I suppose Americans (including plastic Seppos like yourself) don't?

I sense a cookoff coming soon.

I make a roast gravy in the pan whenever I make a roast beef, chicken, Turkey, Pork or what even has been roasted.
I use that Brown Bisto granual shit when I make onion gravy as a base/thickening for it.

July is the key phrase.
