Breakfast pizza?? - my own invention - not a pizza and not a pancake:-

Fry bacon bits until just crisp - leave in pan. Mix in bowl about 1 cup flower, half teaspoon baking powder, enough milk to make runny batter, a large egg and dried herbs to taste and pour over crispy bacon bits in pan - cover and cook gently until set, flip and brown top bit then serve with chutney. Should be about 1/2" thick to be good. You can add cheese, bully beef or anything else to the mixture.

Stovies MUST have a bit of beef going through them!

IT'S THE LAW!





It's Evolution Baby!

My own version of Locost Grits, that's a Supermarket 25p pasty eaten with oil, grease and fibreglass encrusted hands.

mmmm gritty.... mmmm Yummy.....

Never have found the meat filling in one of these "Essentials" / "Basics" / "Value" pasties, just a thin layer of baby food pasted to the bottom layer of crust

Super noodles with sweetcorn.
I used to love stovies when I was based in Lossiemouth in the RAF made by Magic Martin in the 617 Sqn feeder with loads of tomato sauce and yes they need a bit of meat running through them

That'll be glue then will it?

My granny used to make all sorts of stuff.. but one I remember was a clouty pudding.... it was like a massive dumpling full of steak and kidney wrapped up in a tea towel (a clout) and cooked in the pressure cooker.

Fantastic, I've had a go but cannot replicate it.

She did a mean apple pie as well, god rest her soul....

Sliced corned beef is more expensive than proper snadwich beef these days!

Tin of beans, raid the fridge. Anything goes really, tomatoes, cheese, corned beef, sliced ham, herbs. Even done rice and eggs (pre-cooked)
