Western scrambled eggs with salsa sauce, fried red skinned potatoes with crispy bacon. Washed down with weak filtered coffee. Greetings from Florida! |

Go in & ask "How do you cook your sausages?" If they say "In the deep fat fryer", leave immediately.
As an ex-Kitchen worker, I can quite simply say that all sausages should be cooked on a hot plate or a grill in such places.
I remember going to a BHS Cafe in the high street & a friend cheerfully cut into a sausage, put it in his mouth & spit it out again straight away. "What's up" said I. "It tastes like a dripping plant", said he. "Open & Shut case", said I. "A deep fat fryer job. Take it back & complain & then complain again to their head office".
He did this & got an instant apology, followed by a letter from H.O. stating "it is the policy that all restaurants, cook sausages on a hot plate. We will investigate to why these were not".
The run of the mill restaurant/cafe/hotel sausage actually costs less than 2p each (even though you'll pay something like 50p, for it!). A sausage is the biggest con going, even if it has been cooked the right way.
I would never have suspected even a crazed lunatic of deep frying sausages.  I bake mine. |

I enjoy a full English breakfast once a week and went to Duke of York's Square (he marched them up to the top of the hill and then marched them all down again - pointless or what?) in Chelsea. Filthy. Congealed scrambled eggs (I cook the best ever); tomatoes swimming in warm brown water; inedible sausages containing human flesh; foreign bacon; tinned mushrooms. Nice toast and marmalade though - I left most of the rest.
Dozens of people came up to me, took photos, said hello. Why? Perhaps they mistook me for Maggie (she lived around the corner). Or, more likely, Rolf Harris.
Lovely sunny day. But don't go there for breakfast.
I cant believe so many people would disturb somebody minding their own business eating breakfast. Still, I expect you were grateful for the distraction.
We had a lovely day to start off with. We went on a clifftop walk and watched the hang-gliders fall down. Then we popped into "Home Bargains" (it might be a northern shop) on the way home.
I admit to being a bit peculiar about "people" germs, but I am sure I'm not the only person who objects to the assistants licking their fingers to open the bags?
This one had turned it into a circus trick. She left a big frothy trail of spit on my Acdo soap powder box and I shrieked involuntarily and walked out leaving all the shopping on the conveyer belt.
Now I am mortified in case the poor girl had a medical complaint that caused foaming. I cant think of any. Rabies?  |
