Ive developed a weird craving for Tesco Crispy Fries. Idont usually eat too many crisps,but Ilove them. Cheese & Onion are best, and plain are good. Not so keen on the Salt & Vinigar though.

Every time I go over and see Emma, I get myself a parmo. Basically parmesan cheese on top of breaded chicken. Can get all sorts of variations (chilli parmos etc.) but I like it plain.

Looks like puke and considered chav food, but it's considered luxury to me. If they sold them in Ireland i'd be 22 stone by now. So gorgeous.

Actually it's white béchamel sauce and cheese that it's covered in.
Also, since when were you not 22 stone?

 :lol:

See you lot have labelled us all with that baked beans brush!

I hate beans on toast.

Best chav food is eggy-bread!

  Those fat americans , always stereotyping people. 

and I hate eggy bread too. 

 At least we get fat on GOOD food.   

"good food" aint always good for you

  I can't heeeeaar you!

What is "eggy-bread"?

Bread dipped in egg and then fried.

I actually have to confess i quite like it!
but it's nothing without brown sauce!

Ah, thank you.

I know that in a sweet version, Wentelteefjes. Bread dipped in egg with some milk and cinnamon. Then fried and served with castor sugar.

I've been wanting to make what I would have called "Savory French Bread" to go with dinner sometime.  I figured some cuisine or another had already created it.  Nice to know it's called eggy bread.  I can just taste it with some garlic, onion, parsley, under a hamburger patty.  I'll invite everyone over when I make it.

Ive always known it as French toast. Its one of the few meals I can cook.

I have always known it as that too. And I can't cook it.

 I think I could make it, though I haven't yet.  Eggs, milk, cinnamon, dip bread, fry, add butter and maple syrup!   

['Butterflies']

Its really easy to make. I just empty 2 eggs into a bowl,heat up the frying pan, soak 2 slices of bread in the eggs, fry in the frying pan with some oil. Once one side of the bread is nice and crispy, flip it over and crisp up the other side. Add sslt and pepper.

Never tried it with milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon.

 When we make the batter at the retirement home, we whip the eggs smooth and add milk and cinnamon
 to make a rich liquid for dipping.  Butter and syrup make lovely toppings!

I do batter the eggs, but I think syrup is a largely American thing. I often hear them tslking about syrup in meals. Ive never seen a british person use it in anything other than cakes and desserts.

Ido love maple syrup and pecan nut pastries though

 The 100% real maple syrup is a must!  I used to use maple-flavored stuff but the real thing is worth the money!

We call that French Toast

It lurks under many names

don't know if it has a connection with Ireland but my
old neighbour (Dubliner) always called it
GYPSY TOAST

i bet those pesky french stole it, lol.

I have never put cinnoman in.  Yes milk.  Its great for feeding us working class folks - especially if
you have many mouths to feed -  the more mouths the more milk you put in!

If it was stolen, isn't it more likely the Gypsy's were the culprits?

[bodie]

You could be onto something there...

if you think about how it was smuggled between France
and Ireland...what have you got inbetween?  -  England
of course.  You don't think either the french or the irish
could have taken all that bread right under our noses..
...the plot gets thicker though...think who are the royal
family in England -  bloody Germans!
