Re: Breakfast Choices
 

It wasn't breakfast, but there is a fabulous vegetarian cafe near us, I had lentil & egg curry for lunch the other day. It was delicious. There is just something about curried eggs... yum!!

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That sounds rather scrummy.

Egg and curry, match made in heaven.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

How much curry powder to mayo? I know I can trial and error but I'm easily put off by getting things too wrong. :o My SD made some and I could barely taste any curry.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

You can always add more, but it's a real bear to take out. :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

:lol:
Or add more mayo...oops too much...add more curry powder...ooops. Maybe someone should just sell curry mayo. ;)

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Sorry but I have no idea. I've been making it for so long that I just pour the curry powder straight in from the tin. I understand about being reluctant to make something new without a recipe, I'm exactly the same.

At a rough guess I'd say two heaped teaspoons for 6 eggs, but that is a very rough guess! My mum's curried egg is too mild for me, she must have the same light touch as your SD :D

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

That's a crack up because it's so true :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

As a beginner, maybe I'll try some mayo and curry and taste that. Then add the eggs.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Curry...yuck. :sick:

Think I will stick with my breakfast pizza. :thumbsup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The nature and potency of your curry powder is a variable. "Season to taste" I'm sure you'll do alright. I really enjoyed my egg salad sandwiches today, been ages since I've had them.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Don't do it that way you nut! Mash your eggs up, stir in enough mayo to bind them well, then add your salt and curry powder gradually until they're just right.
I forget to eat eggs for ages, and then I'll boil half a dozen and keep them in the fridge for sandwiches, or just to eat on their own.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Lovely grub. I do similar although mine would be curry lite as my tum doesn't take it too well so sometimes I substitute mustard instead.
Those eggs with large leaf watercress in a sandwich is wonderful.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

They do! Think it's Heinz?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I bow to your experience. :lol: I was just thinking that the powder would dissolve/blend better with the mayo on its own rather than with egg included.

Yes, they do. I seem to recall a curry flavoured fruity sauce too. But in the UK.
Canada tends not to do such things though, although there's always Amazon.

The local drugmart has eggs at half the cost of everywhere else at the weekend. I'll get some and experiment.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Hash and eggs sunny side up. I trust everyone else has already had their sprouts today?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had bacon and pancakes with butter and maple syrup.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

The Christmas festivities are over apparently, so green tea and air. :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Until her next conference away :nod:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I had porridge with brown sugar and cream, (well, Half and Half).

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Because I didn't drink it last night, I had a half pint of flat Big Rock Dunkelweisen, and the batter I put in the fridge to rest before making fried shrimp yesterday... and the sausage I took out to thaw last night, and about the right amount of cheese... so it's Welsh rarebit and battered sausage.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

What's in a proper full English breakfast? I'm not impressed with some postmodern slap together non thinking versions you see all over the place. I'm especially appalled by the McDonaldsy hash brown triangles (when did chips stop being a thing for breakfast?). For me breakfast is: (one has to make allowances that I'm from the south of England so no black pudding or whippet noses) Two basted fried eggs, three rashers of nice bacon, a couple of herbed sausages, a fried tomato, baked beans that have been drained slightly so they're not that saucy, a combination of three types of sauteed mushrooms, chips and fried bread. All accompanied with a round of crusty toast, a mug of tea and the Daily Mirror newspaper or if I'm having breakfast on The Embankment, the latest copy of the journal, Theory, Culture & Society.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Fried bread and toast? You probably wiped your bum with pound notes too, flash git.

Chips were never a thing for a cooked breakfast. We always had tinned plum tomatoes, which are lovely with egg yolk and bean juice.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I meant at cafes and chips definitely used to be a thing where I grew up. At home it would some sort instant something because my parents were “sooo busy” with work to possibly cook anything for me and my sister.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I think Alan summed up a perfect breakfast..make sure that there is a breakwater between the eggs and the beans.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I remember that being fairly normal for holiday type B&Bs. One triangle on the plate and the toast coming in a rack for after the main plate.
My experience too....except for one place in the lake distract. Not the best of choices for breakfast prior to hiking up the Kirkstone Pass.
Yum. Toast (or even just bread) soaked in heated tinned tomatoes and fried egg on top. Sloppy and heavenly.

Well that's something new to try. I sometimes make omelets with canned tomatoes inside, sometimes cheese as well (ala old family) so I have an idea.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

HID has just said, with complete sincerity, that the reason I'm so insistent that chips should be included in a full English is because I grew up near France. :lol:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Isn't she from someplace in the middle of Saskatchewan, like Raymore or Nokomis or something? It's been awhile but I remember something... she should know better anyway. I'll bet she's just having a laugh.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

It’s because of French fries.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

And the toast was French too?

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Watrous? The small town cafe in Saskatchewan is iconic (a friend recorded many of them for an art show) and chips would have been universally advertised as French fries, but I still don't believe she isn't making a joke.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

HID (err indoors) said Bobby Sands didn't' eat breakfast and he looked great. I don't stand a chance. :(

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Latkes.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Your egg looks great. :thumbup:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

You can't see the egg because it was mixed in with the grated potatoes, fried diced bacon and onion and grated cheddar. The blob is 5% sour cream. I thought of having soft-boiled or poached eggs as well, but that would have been too much.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Oh, it doesn't look that good then. I bought eight big bottles of Jim Beam tonight which I'll be having for my breakfast for the foreseeable future as things shut down. :frown:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I have read too far back in this thread and now I must try curried eggs. Hope nobody has panic bought all the mayo.

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

Was plenty of mayo in the shops here today. Eggs - not so much :ohmy:

Re: Breakfast Choices
 

I will have one with you while the water boils for my eggs.

Corned beef hash with fried eggs on top, hot sauce, toast.
