They served grilled tomatoes too.

Must be a southern thing.

It’s not. But I wasn’t referring to that. The bottom of the pic, not the middle of the plate underneath the slops.

Whose cuisine is famous and admired the world over?

British or Italian?

See, no contest. We know what to do with tomatoes.

Thanks for proving my point. Pizza and pasta can be ordered world over. The same cannot be said for a pie floater with mushy peas.

His TV tables, isn't it ?

**Neverna** · 16-03-2024, 01:02 AM

I don't know, helge. I don't look closely at things like that.

**helge** · 16-03-2024, 01:22 AM

A wild guess

And the cutlery is from Maltese Airways !

One of those all you can eat breakfast buffets at a Toby Jug carvery, £6.49.
I only managed the one plate, not a big eater first thing.

I'm not paying £2.50 for a cup of coffee when chilled water is free

^ Exactly, its a fuking rip off, unless you take a large "Tupperware" box and fill it with bacon and sausage

Tis indeed. Chips and a fried egg is quite a popular thing as well

Egg, chips and beans and two slices of buttered Warbies for tea.

Loads of salt and vinegar on the chips.

A childhood/university classic.

**Bonecollector** · 16-03-2024, 06:02 PM

^class

Chips and beans all mixed up together, my GOD, baked beans sauce does something to the chip, best munch ever.

I've never had a pie floater it seems that it's a south Aussie thing..I'm sure it's as good as it sounds. A mate of mine from Adelaide told me a yarn while we were having a few beers . He's from Adelaide and told me he got pulled up by the cops for speeding the cop asked why? Why the speed ? And Benny said . Well I've got these 4 pie floaters and have to get home with the precious cargo. The cop agreed and said carry on old son

To combat the sugar in the beans....

Sort of like the ways Thai's spice up their noodles in a good noodle shop or stall. Vinegar-sugar-salt "nam pla", not to mention the dried chilies.

The UK ones aren't very sweet. I've read online that the US ones are absolutely loaded with sugar, which just isn't for me, although I do like the BBQ style ones you get at the BBQ places over there.

American baked beans (also called Boston baked beans) are made with molasses and pork salt (or bacon), and they're slow-cooked in the oven. English-style baked beans (Heinz baked beans being the most famous) are more savory and made with a tomato sauce base.

My noodles are really heavy on the vinegar with the chilies (naam som) and then topped off with a pinch of the ground dried chilies.

I don't add sugar or the naam pla to them.

I remember a Thai woman I was with watching aghast as I loaded up and then wondering what it tasted like.

She spat it out (the soup that is).

In fact, you got me thinking about my last bowl and this was on the backroads of Koh Samet just over a year ago.

And a final one for breakfast in the food court at Don Mueang before we flew to Cambodia.

I do like the Thai nooden soup (naam tok being the best). Much better than most of its neighbours.

Mate, I used to get them at a pie shop in Bakers Hill, on the Great Eastern Highway out Northam way.

That was 20 years ago, mind.
