    I like them poached but last time I tried it I ended up with a lot of white string in a pan of boiling water.

    In the real, practical world I usually fry them sunny side up.

    Your issue there is the ‘boiling water’. Just simmering is all you need. I love poaching eggs in my van :)

    Nope. None of that old rubbish. Just water.

    Add eggs, switch the heat right off. Same for boiled eggs.

    The last time I actually had a scotch egg was in a pub, post lockdown, when for a while you could only get served beer with a 'substantial meal'. I think most of it went in the bin. I read about a time in New York, when similar rules applied to get served alcohol on a Sunday, that there was a communal sandwich in every bar, years old and often made of plaster, which was brought to your table with each drink, then taken away again.

    We were in Wigan yesterday, on my bus/rail pass travels, in the station underpass there are panels showing an A-Z of Wigan dialect, one of the entries is for the Wigan Kebab, which is a pie served between two slices of bread :)

    Definitely - helps to keep it looking like an egg instead of snot

    Doesnt that leave a bit of a mess? Bits of egg stuck in the rock n roll bed hinges? Have you tried poaching them in a pan?



    Do I win £5 for this feeble joke?

    I love poached egg with cherry tomatoes and avacado on toast. Unfortunately our new dangled induction hob doesn’t support my old poaching pan :(

    My free egg supply has dried up with the bird flue, there is a free range egg producer up my lane, there are dozens who nip out and lay in the hedges and me dogs find them when the Mrs is walking them around the fields. They are all in the barns now .

    Not needed, with an active lifestyle. It’s good protein.:thumbsup:

  19. Drink plenty of red wine - a nice Valpolicella will do. That'll clear them out. It's like drain cleaner.
