Indeed it was No beer!
Could be worse TJ, at least it's on a plate rather than a slate or reclaimed driftwood or a pint mug or something.
If you don’t like black pudding you’ve probably just never had the good stuff.
Could always tell a good one, by how it tasted "raw" **
Always used to turn the wifes stomach when she saw me doing so 😉
** yes I know it's cooked during production
Never got the love for Pete's Eats. Pint of tea? Only to disguise the long wait for very average food. Usually the server would have their thumb in whatever you ordered, and would invariably drop some onto the floor or spill it onto the table. You would not send it back, as that would mean another hours wait. Only saving grace was reading the wierd ads on the wall, or walking down the road to the little bakers to get a snack whilst you waited. I managed once to do a whole circuit of the town, including doing a bit of shopping, before our food arrived.
Love the idea of a fry up in a pint mug!
MSP +1 that ain't no greasy spoon, try harder..
My nearest proper greasy spoon has closed down so all I can get is hipster food
I'd say that was more to do with the grease spoons being rubbish, than gentrification. A business doesn't just go bust. We have a local(ish) posh cafe, fig and favour, which is lovely but I do object to paying £1.50 for a ramkin of heinz beans to add to my breakfast. Greasy spoons have their place (friday late morning/lunch time usually) but good food get my vote nowadays (CSON's in Ludlow & Shrewsbury.. I'm looking at you)
Since when and what happend?
Not been in for a few years now, but the quality was down, the waits were longer etc. I can still remember the glory days though.
Try getting a veggie full breakfast without it looking like a masterchef artwork.
Anything served to me on a slate or in a mini tin bucket gets sent back.
I'm with you on that one Brads
Must be Morningside...

And comes back adorned with extra knob cheese.

Nope - sunny leith
We ate out last night whilst on our Scotish holiday.
Speciality starter was deep fried battered black pudding.
It arrived neatly spaced between a dipping sauce and a medley of salad leaves

Salad was left on the plate as the dog wouldn't eat it.
Had a home cooked bacon, mushroom, black pudding and runny fried egg bread cake for breakfast this morning just to restore my faith
And comes back adorned with extra knob cheese.
Maybe where you live but I'm from a civilised area.

There's something wrong with you, boy.

No it didn't. The dipping sauce is neatly spaced between the black pudding and a medley of salad leaves. Unless you rearranged it before taking the photo.
Details, Tracey, details.

Seaside town of Smegness?
No – black pudding is the outrage – its not a foodstuff. ( I actually asked for no black pudding – disgusting stuff)
/banned
boudin noir however…………
Ah! Give it a fancy French name and some how it’s magically different.

Actually I'd ban you for that as well. I'm a bloody veggie, but jeez I could murder a black pudding roll with broon sauce.
Bring back Little Chef. Couldn’t beat an Olympian.
Dad and I went to the 1968 British GP at Brand's Hatch and on the way back stopped at a Little Chef on the A1 near Peterborough. It was like stepping into paradise.
Now I know poached egg is a bit out there on a fry up but I reckon the best fried breakfast I ever had was on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Bacon and sausage from their own pigs, poached egg from the hens running around outside. Magnificent.
Speaking of caffs, I think the best would be a toss up between Sid's (beloved of Troglodytes) and the Lover's Leap in Stoney Middleton before it became an Indian Restaurant ("Full set an' a pint o' tea"). It's be a long time though.
I want an island of sausage, egg and toast floating in a sea of beans.
Be honest, you just came here for an argument didn't you?
TJ, City Cafe on Blair Street is your friend here. They'll sort you out with a proper breakfast.
Beans have no place on a breakfast, unless you're some kind of deviant.
If they must be present then under no circumstances should bean juice ever come into contact with the egg. A sausage dam can be used to prevent this from happening
The best bit of any fry up is saving a bit of toast/fried bread for the mop up of fatty, juicy, eggy, plate soup at the end. Man, I want a fry up.
Does anyone have contact details for Binners? I think his account has been hacked.
Only a matter of time before someone mentions the cafe at Grindleford station, their breakfasts and the (now retired) miserable sod who used to run it…

Placing the egg on a substantial trivet of fried bread (artisan sourdough / olive oil is ideal) also helps avoid contact if that is an issue.
Binners loves his artisan foodstuffs...

It'll never happen.

Next time you are passing Penrith try the Rooster Cafe just off J40. Once they get past the panic of finding the veggie ingredients you will get the full greasy slap up
every fruit has the same number of seeds
Pretty sure a peach doesn't have the same number of seeds as a melon.
Binners+1
I do however approve of beans being kept isolated from ….EVERYTHING.
I thought that was just me with that issue. Beans must always be segregated.
Petes Eats is pretty rubbish these days best head to Caban instead.

I’m old enough to have no shame. The satisfaction of breaking a runny yolk so it slides and congeals amongst a pool of beans… 😋
No black pudding?
This is an outrage!
Never mind no black pudding its no fruit puddin' that's the outrage

It's tricky squeezing them past the ball gag.
fruit pudding? do you mean cloutie dumpling?
Pete's Eats
Is this the Llanberis one you're referring to, or do they have a branch in Embra too?
> Pomegranate is the King Fruit according to the Moors of days gone past and every fruit has the same number of seeds. Enjoy that fact whilst growing a man bun, it’s a brave new world!
That smells too much to just leave it sitting there.

'Also, it is said to have 613 seeds, which corresponds with the 613 commandments of the Torah, but it was a misconception.'

😅😱 been rumbled
I am now pondering the Venn overlap between actual Olympians, and people who’d ordered an Olympian at a Little Chef.
My guess – it’s nil.
TJ, sounds great to me, sourdough is superior bread, end of.
Incorrect. As a young lad I sat next to Olympic shot putter Geoff Capes in a Little Chef. We both had the Olympic breakfast. He was dead impressed that I could finish it and earn my lolly.
He climbed into a liveried Suzuki SJ40 jeep, well, he sort of put it on as it was barely bigger than him. I dread to think of the resultant post Olympic breakfast hum in that tiny enclosed space.
fruit pudding? do you mean cloutie dumpling?
I went to school with a girl called Cloutie Dumpling....
No way MSP!
‘Also, it is said to have 613 seeds, which corresponds with the 613 commandments of the Torah, but it was a misconception.’
I have heard this before but yes as you say it's a misconception and comes from general comparisons in the Talmud etc of "many seeds = many commandments"... that said, take a look in the table you linked at the total average number of seeds in a pomegranate for the entire sample 😉
