Ok, boudin this I like. Why you cook it so, this should have bloods no?

Boudin is normally fried isn't it?

The blood has clotted - otherwise it's be a liquid.

Just having a look back through this thread. I don't think blondes are giving their eggs enough love.

Basting FTW.

ive just been made redundant so my whole goal in life for the next month or so is to create the best fry-up on here, but will only be doing on sundays. I am thinking of going with poached duck eggs instead of fried . any thoughts?

Pff, part timer, I work on mine every day. The duck eggs idea was mine first, they are larger and more tasty.


"I was at a restaurant, and I ordered a chicken sandwich, but I don't think the waitress understood me. She asked me, "How would you like your eggs?" I thought I would answer her anyway and said, "Incubated! And then raised, plucked, beheaded, cut up, put onto a grill, and then put onto a bun. Damn! I don't have that much time! Scrambled!""

This is a very good effort. I'm particularly impressed by clean lines of separation between the ingredients (no messy overlap) and by those eggs, which have been cooked to perfection and transferred from pan to plate with the firm but gentle touch of an  explosives expert or a gynecologist.

Another plus is the bread, each slice of which has enough of what looks like real butter to clog at least one artery.

I have made slight deductions for poor item placement, i.e eggs awkwardly placed in middle, and bacon on very edge could cause plate tilting problems or, (heaven forbid) full blown tiddlywink effect when stabbing/cutting.

Your tea is invisible. If we allow this to go unpunished, it will open the door for others, perhaps more unscrupulous than yourself, to pass off completely empty cups as cosher mashings of Rosie. I'm deducting half a point.

While the bacon quality looks very good (extra mark for using streaky) the rind seems to have fallen just a little short of crispy, and the portion size is woefully inadequate. This has ultimately cost you what would have been a very good score.

Nice try Sov, but I have great hopes for you in this competition, and we both know that you can do better.

Fried slice looks a tad anaemic Red, would you agree ?

Well yes it is, but the boy is young and I couldn't decide if I should point it out and toughen him up for future criticism, or let it slide and build his confidence.

On reflection, I should have said something. The truth will always come out in the end.
