RAVENOUS (Part 2)

Lovely bit of tea in The Castle inn, Newcastle, north Wicklow. They had a specials board full of fish - last time I saw something similar was in Out of the Blue in Dingle. Ran out of lemon sole so had sea bass and tempura prawn instead. UNRAYLEABLE

It’s unreal alright

You wouldn’t ask for chips in OOTB :open_mouth:

Might sound barbaric but I love mixing the pepper sauce with ketchup when ating the steak.

Did u actually cook this?
I’d so 10 out of10 boy

There’s genuinely nothing to it pal. Boiling water, bit of vinegar, slowlu ease cracked egg into water (give a swirl.of the water, can’t remember who in here gave that tip, kudos)

Few mins and youre away. Take out eggs. Set aside. Fuck the water out. Same small pot back on the heat. Fuck a bag of spinach leaves into it. Stir around a bit and they’ll wilt to nothing.

Salt + pepper. Sin e

Minus spinach that’s exactly what I do
Tbh it’s either under or over mostly,
My prob is getting the bastards out of the pot🙄
Must invest in a ladle with holes in it to drain
Taste normally is v good
Another favourite is beans on toast in the oven,
Add mature cheddar
Back in the oven - liberally sprinkle with Worcester sauce- me daza ( Cork for perfect for those not in the know)

The swirl is the most important bit of advice,
It makes sense when you think about it as it allows the egg to stay together for the vital first few seconds, otherwise it goes in all directions

Alternatively you can oil a bit of cling film and crack the egg into that, make a small parcel and start it cooking in that

current dietary restrictions didnt allow for that.
the thin sliced ham was very succulent
the sprouts were seasoned with black pepper
