What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Burnden Paddock]

I usually only fry the eggs and then grill the bacon and sausages. I am however, partial on the odd occassion to chucking the eggs in after I have fried the bacon. Wonderful!

[Worthy4England]

Can't remember the last time we fried anything other than the eggs...and mushrooms, if we're having any.

See, I grill mushrooms for this reason. If you grill the top first and then the stalk end second then they retain their water, which tastes absolutely delicious.

hmmm... i think i prefer mushrooms grilled... but if as you say, you only fry the egg, then what you were describing above as your Saturday breakfast, I have to break this to you... was a grill-up, better known as a mixed grill! (not a fry-up!)

I've never called my cooked breakfast a 'fry up', simply a cooked breakfast.

[thebish]

ahhh - my mistake - you were following on from AT who said he was having a fry up!! my mistake - as you were!!

[Prufrock]

Bacon tastes way better grilled IMO.

Not convinced....

[jaffka]

Healthier grilled but not as tasty as fried.

[Prufrock]

Nah if you fry it the fat is either slimy, or the meat bit cremated for the day to go crispy. Grilled makes the fat go crispy and the meat still tasty.

Good bacon never goes slimy (unless off). Sounds like you're buying supermarket stuff with half a gallon of water in it. I dry cure my own, so no shrinkage, no crappy white stuff and no pan full of water after frying. I prefer to grill as well, but my cooker is stupid and grilling on it is hopeless. Everything in a pan for me until I can justify a new cooker

Last day in Prague today and we've found an Uzbekistani restaurant. This could be a winner or a complete disaster......

Exactly the argument I made to my housemate the other day after he made a me a mediocre fried bacon sandwich. (with soggy fat)

[Lord Kangana]

You need dry cure bacon Not shit cheap stuff.

We've discovered a kind of half way house between grilling and frying. The wife bought a big heavy cast iron le creuset pan with ridges on the bottom. Amongst the meats we've cooked in it are bacon, steak, chicken breast and it cooks them all perfectly, really tasty, properly done.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

^ one of these

Dangerous them pans. Bad enough the Mrs swinging a frying pan at you, but then cast iron ones

I'm after one of the griddle things that go over 2 gas rings on the cooker. Can't seem to find them here though.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I did consider the ease with which she could brain me. So the obvious solution was to buy a really big one. She can hardly pick it up, never mind swing it

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Glad you got it covered! I guess that means you have to wash it up afterwards?
