A local UK resident has a serious Caffeine Addiction. So bad that even the LDS missionaries are refusing to visit his flat.

Quote from: Queen Victoria on August 12, 2011, 08:40:20 PMFor those who might care to try, here are some posts from Chowhound, I think.1) Having an English mom who can't cook, I grew up on beans on toast. I still have it a few times a year. This is pretty amazing since I am a spice and chile pepper addict and into big bold flavors, while this is a mild dish. Somehow the flavors work quite well.In the US the beans are the ones labeled Heinz Vegetarian beans. To make the dish properly you need to add a fat pat of butter to the beans while heating and you need to use decent regular white bread, toasted and heavily buttered. Butter is the key to this dish. For easy eating that doesn't require a knife I cut the buttered toast up into 1"x1" squares before pouring on the beans. Another improvement is adding 1-2 ounces of water to the beans before heating. This increases the "gravy" so the meal isn't dry.2) yes, after spending a bit of time in england, i got hooked on this dish and recreated it when i got back. the heinz vegetarian beans are the best. you can find them in major supermarkets. have a complete traditional british breakfast and serve your beans on toast with grilled (basically fried in olive oil or butter) tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms. sooo good. 3) This may be a simple dish but it can be very comforting. Pile the beans on a couple of slices of thickly buttered toast. Brown HP sauce is my preferred accompaniment. You can probably buy that in the same shop as the beans. You can make the dish more substantial by topping with a fried egg or some grated cheddar.damn, I am hungry now

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.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
