I think I can summon bacon, eggs and mushrooms on toast. I do have baked beans, but post-Brexit I fear they are an endangered species here, so I am very sparing in their use. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It's not some kind of British bean embargo is it? I remember when the French were turning back lorries containing British beef. Some wit said that the best way to get around it was to dress up our cattle as German soldiers... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2021 2 hours ago, MrWolf said: It's not some kind of British bean embargo is it? No. It is simply that in times past Sherry would arrive from the UK in a car laden down with baked beans and tea bags. We suspect that will no longer be allowed. Going back she would take wine etc. We suspect that will be just fine within the sort of amount she wants to have at home. My Scots cleaner Alison, who is an arch-greenie with a yen to run a market garden, has been used to ordering seeds from the UK, because French ones are both pricey and unreliable. No longer permissible. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2021 Evening all. Prompted by the good Captain's response.............. Please note that in addition to being the 80th Anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the 7th December 2021 is also British National Fry Up Day. To that end, please view this as advance notice of a requirement to post images of fry ups prepared/ consumed by contributors to this thread. As the 7th falls on a Tuesday there are a number of options available. We can either treat the preceding Saturday/ Sunday as the day in question or in fact the following Saturday/Sunday as the alternative. Or we can go for the day itself. Those fry ups purchased at cafes, pubs and roadside caravans on the day decided will be acceptable as will veggie alternatives however please avoid such pretenders as eggs benedict and anything presented on a muffin. Such offerings will be considered 'finescale' and therefore outside the scope of the thread. Breakfast rolls would be fine, the more 'loaded' the better and would fall within the 'industrial' category. Toast should only be presented in support of said fry up. Fried bread will of course be acceptable. Any breakfast consisting solely of toast supported by marmalade or jam will be the subject of ridicule. Please do not exclude sauces such as ketchup or brown sauce. The inclusion of mustard to support the sausages will be applauded as will any breakfast which incudes half pint or pint measures of beer lager and cider. Any pallet cleansers such as whisky, brandy, gin or vodka will be deemed excessive. No prizes but please treat as an opportunity for members to post images of said fry ups, compare notes. Videos of demonstrations welcomed. Rob 5 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
