I am sure eggs are wonderful but I seem to have gone off them, except in CAIK.
I don't know why.

Eggs are small and versatile and packed full of eggy goodness and boiled ones do indeed make a handy ride food.

I came here to quote this about tea: ...each tea represents somebody wanting a ginger-brown cupful, himself drinking tea in Jackie's mother's kitchen, his brothers taking their tea cans to work, the cycling club when it's raining stopping at a caff, ...

This from a novel which is nothing about cycling or tea, the casual reference to the cycling club struck me. I like my tea black not ginger-brown personally, but it's still tea.

Everyone overcooks scrambled eggs and omelettes. The egg should be just set and not effectively vulcanised. Scrambled eggs should be cooked slowly with constant stirring and taken off the heat once they start to set (this should take several minutes). The result is light and souffle-like and approximately 25 light years' away from how most scrambled eggs seem to be served. Omelettes too. Cook till set, not until it's a disk of kevlar.

There's a special place in hell reserved for people who microwave scrambled eggs.

The French have the word "baveuse" to describe the correct consistency of an omelette. It translates literally as "dribbling".

Boy Wunja does legendary scrambled eggs - The scouts still talk about how long it took to clean the pan when he cooked them on camp 3 years ago!

(He is actually quite good at cooking, so it was probably an aberration)

Over the weekend I tried Paul Hollywoods Rye bread recipe, 100% rye flour, hmmn I thought 100% ?, it turned out terribly of course, so dense as to be all but inedible, second fault I have found in an otherwise good book (How to bake)   ::-)
The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, and wiser men so full of doubt.

For really super scrambled eggs, try putting a tablespoon of mustard seeds into the pan and heating (in whatever oil / butter you're using) until you hear them all going pop, then remove from the heat for a few seconds before pouring the egg in.

Am thinking of doing chilli oil with vegitable and sunflower oils.

What does the masses think?

Ian Botham wants to know if you can eat three Shredded Wheat

you perhaps need to be of a certain age & familiar with a specific tv ad for that to have any meaning

I haven't touched Shredded Straw Wheat since I was a teenager but could easily eat three then.

It's Nestlé isn't it? Avoid.

But why would you want to as they tasted of nothing.  Unless soaked in milk, then the shredded wheat becomes mush.

Well I don't eat Shredded Feet anyway; it's probably nearly 40 years since I had them. I quite enjoyed chewing the tasteless but gave them up when I went away to university and never went back to them. Like all premium cereals, they appear over-packaged and overpriced.

Are Shredded Wheat still the only breakfast cereal without added sugar? (Apart from porridge)
There's no vibrations, but wait.

Puffed Wheat, if you can find it, has no added sugar.

My Dorset Cereals Simply Nutty has no added sugar. Dates and nuts may help.

There are quite a few unsweetened varieties of muesli.
Most contained dried fruit with high levels of 'natural sugar'.

Help! Recipes for using green peppers required - I accidentally ordered 12 of the things from Sainsbury's :(
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Stuffed peppers are yum.

Maybe stuff some of the peppers with the other peppers?  ;D

Some paellas use green peppers. If you also have an onion or two, some paella rice, stock and some meat (pork/chicken) or fish (almost any fleshy white fish) and herbs and spices you're most of the way there.

The Sainsbury's Basics strawberries I received today are English!
Tasty sweet red goodness, if a little more fiddly than the FOREIGN strawberries I've had up to now!
