     Does it still come wrapped in that wax paper stuff to really make its expensiveness shine haha.
     I could never imagine the plebs working in the BK's up here even contemplating putting one of those together. It'd just look like all their other burgers, a mush of bread, meat and "veg"

   • dunno...bk staff down here are pretty efficient actually. may go with the triple whopper for lunch.
     
     it seems a bit weird, but would certainly be an experience.

   • I tried making cous cous with aubergine and mint. It's fucking horrible.
     
     Tonight, spaghetti with broccoli and chili. Mmm.

   • Sorry to bring back eggs, but its about the only food I've got in and I can't be bothered to go out. I've been wanting to try some of these poached egg methods but after reading this I'm even more scared of cocking it up.
     
     Scrambled it is.

   • Poached eggs are awesome and I use the vortex. Use a spoon to get it spinning

   • I think I'll be moving to the cling film method

     Bet it's nice but what a waste of time and money. Truffles on a burger?! Deep frying the onion bits in Crystal champagne?! It's just silly.
     Wagyu beef is very nice but I don't rate it much over a good piece of fillet and anyway, surely the whole point of the tenderness and texture of the Wagyu is lost if you pummel the shit out of it to make into a burger!!!
     
     
     ...and i'd take a fried egg over poached any day.
     Fried egg and chirozo sandwiches rule.

     dude...poached ALL the way.
     
     but the above looks mind blowing.
     
     thankee.

      I was brave. I used the cling film method with reasonable success.

    • I tried the vortex method and the white went everywhere, same with a barely simmering pan, even if I tried lowering it in with a ladle

    • you have to make sure the water has stopped bubbling when you add the egg. Otherwise it gets blasted to bits. Fresher the eggs the better it works. Boil the water, take off the heat, then start the swirl, the add the egg. Then put back on a lower heat till its cooked, doesnt take long at all.

    • Mmmmm... Chorizo.
      
      Get 2 Ramekins
      Whisk 6 Eggs and chop up some Chorizo, add into the two ramekins with a tablespoonish of double cream.
      Bake in the oven for a while, add a little grated cheese and finish for a couple of minutes.
      
      Aceness.... Brunchtastic.

      drop some olive oil, salt, pepper and worcester sauce into the clingfilm before you put the egg in.
      
      takes about 3-4 minutes to cook with yolk still a bit runny.
      
      stick this mess on a toasted muffin with some griddled bacon and some ketchup/bbq sauce.
      
      now that's a taste explosion!

    • i've been eating poached eggs every weekend since i've found out how to do them.
      
      koresh practice on friday means hangover on saturday which means some kind of filthy brekkie.
      
      i'm planning this - a spanish spin on the brekkie baguette (thanks - in part to mr 90dayman)
      
      bacon
      onions
      chorizo/mergueze (instead of sausage)
      baguette
      eggs
      sosses
      
      poach eggs with oil and salt/pepper, worcester soss.
      
      griddle bacon and chorizo (nb cut chorizo on a diagonal plane in order to achieve nice wide slabs
      
      cook finely sliced onions in orange oil left in griddle pan from
      
      bacon/chorixXxo
      
      bang in baguette with choice of sosses
      
      bang in mouth

    • That sounds ace, i fucking love merguez sausages at the moment. Espescially in toasties with Asda's mexican cheese (cheddar with chillies)

      That sounds good! Do other supermarkets do cheese like that? Nearest Asda is miles!

    • No idea, it's worth the trip to stock up though
      
      I imagine some delis might do their version

    • sainsbury's do i think.
      
      i may make some burgers this weekend and melt some of that good shit on top!
      
      alternatively, if all you plan to do is melt it anyway, put some chili flakes on a slice of cheddar and let science/heat/baby jesus do the rest.
