Please don't tell me that those are potato waffles on your plate.

What are the general rules re: mushrooms? Tinned ever allowed? Button or those large feckers?

Tinned?!

[Amatay]

Them Waffles looked like they have been taken str8 out of the freezer and dumped on the plate. COOK the things ffs!

Tinned? Lol. Good one.

[bobAlike]

OK, you asked for it.

This is a very good example of a breakast and I would be proud to eat it, but if were striving for perfection...


The beans could have been prevented from touching the egg by utilising a readily available sausage barrier. Sorry, School boy error

Sausage: Unevenly cooked. Granted but wanted authentic home cooked effect

Bacon: Undercooked and lacking crispy rind. That's how I like it

Mushrooms: Undercooked, portion too small. They were cooked well but lighting gives wrong impression. Portion size granted

Bread: Not enough and should be on separate plate. (Toast ditto) School boy error, sorry

Fried bread: Soaked up too much oil. Have to disagree on this one. The texture was sublime - not quite crispy but not soggy either

Black pudding: Meh! Looks loke it was photoshopped on as an afterthought. Black pud was absolutley perfect. Flavourful but not too much salt added

Plate: Depressing colour and far too small leading to inadvertent mixing and heapage. School boy error again

Fork: Looks bendy. Sorry poorness or photo. Knife and fork were matching items that a re really solid and most definately not round and definately not blunt

Knife: Blade looks dull, rounded handle will be prone to slippage. See above

Great effort. 6.8 / 10.

Cheers Tom but would you reconsider your score in light of my responses. I really feel a 7 would do it justice.

Good work with the linda mcartney sausages.

3 x Linda McCartneys
2 x Fried Eggs
2 x Waffles
2 x Giant mushrooms
4 x Organic Vine Tomatoes
Portion of beans with HP sauce
4 x Rounds of buttered toast

Obviously no need to mention the [ ] sausages or waffles.

Fried eggs look pretty terrible as well. Why don't they look the same?

Random [ ] sausage placement just makes no sense whatsoever.

Mushrooms look really good although you appear to have re-defined the word 'giant'.

Those beans are perilously close to the edge of the plate despite overlapping in to [ ] sausage territory.

Lack of bacon can't be excused although I suppose it's better than vegetarian bacon.

Overall pretty bad unfortunately.

3.5/10 sympathy score for the effort.

wow it's amazing how somebody can admit to so many schoolboy errors and to planting a fake tea in shot and then in the same breath ask for more points. I think Tom is a quality judge and he got it spot on, even noticing the plate colour which did make me sad when viewing the picture again.

Sorry Andrew. Considering the portion size violations and self confessed errors I think you got off too lightly. I feel I must make further deductions.

I am prepared to mitigate things slightly regarding the cutlery. If you say it's solid, it's solid. Plus I did like the one piece blade & handle combo. It's very hygienic because the germs cant hide in the join.

lol. Once again Mr Brittas is correct although the points appeal was for the misconception about the black pudding and bendy cutlery oh and the fried slice.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm getting really nervous

Driving test was nothing compared to this

I'm getting really nervous

Driving test was nothing compared to this

Just avoid the schoolboy errors, uncooked waffles, [ ] sausages, the wrong-sized mushrooms, the wrong beans, tomatoes (especially scrotum ones), unevenly cooked meat, non-crispy bacon, the wrong type/quantity/colour/texture/size/shape of bread, eggs done incorrectly, the wrong sort of plate, table, cutlery...

You'll be fine!
