Pretentious food/ways to present food...

[jackanada]

I agree to an extent, but the sausage dam is only effective up to the point where the sausage starts to get eaten.

The instant the dam is broken, that then causes a veritable tidal wave of baked bean infested tomato sauce to head inexorably towards the pure golden yellow of egg yolk. I've tried in vain to divert the flow with a rasher or 2 of bacon, or even the crust of a fried slice, but it just won't hold it.

Clearly your beans are far too liquid. Even with a premium brand of beans it pays to pour off some of the excess liquid before cooking. An undercooked beany soup is a disaster waiting to happen. The correct consistency of beans is vital, a tablespoon of beans dolloped onto the plate should settle while retaining a slight convex shape, the liquid should be thick enough and in small enough quantity that surface tension holds it close to the beans.

Further given you are having the beans you must decide which components of the full english are going to be eaten with it. Clearly you are happy to have beans with sausage and at least a corner of your fried slice. I am a big fan of black pudding and beans, and hash browns and beans, adding either of these to the plate will give you more options to both contain and mop up your beans.

Pretentious? MOI?

Most of us wouldn't know our granache from our elbow.

Surely you must know what a granache is ? it makes a wonderful chocolate truffle.

Pretentious? TOI!

I must admit I wasnt certain of what a ganache was and the google explanation is a mixture of chocolate and cream usually used on the outside of a cake.

I went to a restaurant called The Birdcage. The menu was delivered to the table screwed up inside a birdcage. I muttered "why didn't you cut out the middle man and shove it up your arse". The heightof pretension.

The bangers and mash served in a wineglass with gravy was the last straw for me.

19 years ago the wife served me a lovely roast beef on a cold plate. She hasn't made the same mistake since.

It's a GANACHE.

Not when my Gran made it.

Mushy baked beans is the answer to the problem.

Gold Thread.

I watched a documentary last night about the history of eating out, on BBC 4. Think it all went downhill when they started serving prawn cocktail in wineglasses.

As for the utter cocksmokers serving bread in a flat cap First up against the wall come the revolution.

Get to ****. That's photoshopped. Has to be. No one is that much of a doucher that they would even begin to think about serving things like that?

Something tells me you wont be impressed by the Garden Kitchen in Newcastle

I had a burger once. It was served on a TRAIN. With wheels and windows and everything.

I ing hate this perpetuated by cs of the highest order. I put the blame on Jamie Oliver and hipsters and I don't even care if it's fair. Chips in a little bucket? WHY? If you want food in a bucket go to KFC. In fact if you want chicken and chips go to KFC. Any Shoreditch ct that pays 9.99 for a piece of fried chicken and a few chips in a wire basket deserves to be hung by the ears.

And slate. Don't even fing start me on slate. WOULD YOU ROOF YOUR HOUSE WITH PIGEON BREAST OR LOBSTER CROQUETTES? No you ing wouldn't. Yet that makes EXACTLY as much sense as putting food on a slate. A dirty, cold object that makes a noise like cats attacking a blackboard when you eat from it.

Nowhere is exempt. Last night the Ginger Pig served me a "cold chocolate fondant" which of course is impossible. Luckily it wasn't a fondant at all but a granache which the Chef had decided to call a fondant because he had fallen under the spell of cs.

Will hipsters save the world? The s won't survive the month if they keep serving shit in shit. So to speak.
