Regular fry-ups - only for the 'working class'?

Is that lean mean fat grilling machine or whatever it is from that george guy any good for cooking food? Might encourage me to start cooking myself!

This is what the article was takling about. So are people who do it regularly idiotic? Choosing to ignore the risks certainly is an idiotic trait, but that doesn't mean the person is idiotic overall.

No but I think it related to the debate between me and you :)

I always use my old cast iron crying pan that hasnt been washed for about 20 years, which i inherited from my mum. Fried bread, then fried onions on top, then crispy streaky bacon ontop of that, then drench that in maple syrup (trust me its great) then a fried egg over easy onto of that.

Heaven.

I thought I was the only weirdo to do that. Looks so wrong but tastes so right.

the fat tray fills to the brim when you put 4x sausages on it, it's quite disgusting (in a good way), does bacon (& eggs if you balance it right) quicker than frying :)
 
its alright, theres ones problem though - fat is flavour. fact. So you lose flavour of things when you use something thats draining fat off, but if you use decent ingredients it wont matter, since you already have a right flavour to start with.
Its great if you're looking to be healthy, make yourself some hashbrowns and stick em in the oven, put your bacon+sausage on the georgey, wholemeal bread in the toaster(i hate white) and then scramble some egg in the frying pan, or fry one.. or do both.
Get your beans done, hey presto.. wheres the extreme unhealthiness gone? :)
 
The possibilites with the lean mean fat grilling machine sounds endless, possible able to toast eggy bread in it? Crumpets? sarnies? patato and other stuff sounds blooming awsome, oh can do big chicken breasts in it cant you? Sounds really fun :D.

How much are they I might ask for one for my birthday :D

I love a fry-up from time to time although the name is a mis-nomer. The only things to get fried are eggs and potato scones, everything else is grilled (well apart from the beans) and the mushrooms are steamed. I'm not sure about all this nonsense that fried breakfasts are for working class people only as I've been in a fair amount of hotels and seen plenty of business chappies tucking into a big plate of bacon, sausage and egg.

I can see why ther English breakfast gets a bad name though. I was on a little trip to London and opted to have breakfast at a little cafe at the side of the Thames. What else could I opt for other than a fry-up? I was a bit taken aback when it came though as it was swimming in grease and was topped with a pile of chips. They weren't too happy when I refused to pay as they couldn't understand why I had turned my nose up at the plate in front of me. Undercooked eggs, burnt bacon and sausage a tiny portion of beans, no mushroom, greasy and with chips!!!!!

Everyone else does :D.

My dad is weird like this. He insists on having an idustrial strength extractor fan over his cooking hob becuse he thinks even a wiff of cooking smell in your house = working class. But then he thinks leaving a coat on the back of a chair for more than 5 minutes = working class too so.... he's an idiot.

Tell your dad he sounds like he's working class and he's trying too hard :D.

You've just proved the point then. Some people think it's pretentious, some people thinks it's delicious. I'm of the latter category and I don't think it's pretentious at all.

Delicious != Pretentious

Sure it would be a tasty dish, but for breakfast it simply is pretentious and there is no need for it apart from the bragging factor.

I am sure, of course, that you will disagree.

That makes no sense, if you like it, why not eat it for breakfast?

You sound just as bad as snobs, but from the other end of the spectrum. Turning your nose up at anything "posh"
 
indeedy, it depends where you live really. Somethings are more freely available in certain areas.
Personally a good steak in the morning is unbeatable before a heavy day. Thats only because its easier to make than a fryup, can be in the pan while im in the shower, and theres nowhere that sells fryups on my way to uni :)
