Black pudding improves the flavour of just about anything.

Except beans, which are beyond redemption.

Here speaketh a man who has never eaten sexy mexi beans. Dice up 120gram of dried hot salami, add some diced black pudding, and cook over a low heat - no oil, once browned, add in a can of Heinz best, a splash of hot sauce and some grated cheddar.

serve over buttery, toasted bread.

I got myself to The Hideout this weekend. I opted for the small breakfast at £8.50 because it seemed pretty substantial and I wanted to leave some room for beer.

 

1 x sausage

1 x bacon

1 x tomatoe

mushrooms

1 x black pudding

3 x hash browns

1 x egg

1 x bread

It was excellent. Every ingredient was dead tasty! The service was good and the restaurant was dead nice. A bit pricey, but I'll be going again!

 

State of the plate, who served it, mrs miggins?

Anyone think Remmie doth protest too much?  Come on Rem, it's ok to love the bean

Having not eaten beans for the best part of 18 months, we were in the supermarket the week before my op, and i said to the missus, lets get a couple of cans in, I’m gonna be licking beans like a motherfucker post op. She said that was something to look forward to.

A breakfast has to have fried bread and toast. 
 

The hash browns I just do because they’re there, have no particularly strong feelings either way. 
 

Love haggis but never had it on a breakfast. 
 

Was Heinz beans with leftover chorizo that needed using up, red onion, Tabasco, hot paprika, sriracha sauce and chipotle sauce. 

Digging the beans (minus onion which is fucked)

Cherry tomatoes belong in a salad, fried onions on a hot dog. I had to use a magnifying glass to indentify the white pudding. No mushrooms. I’d rather have originary toast than sourdough. Sausages and bacon look good but are burnt in places. 5/10

I’m with TM on this one. Also sausages should be pig, pig, pig. No pincers.

It could well be tasty - if you leave the beans out.

I cannot understand the fascination with the horrible little fuckers. The are just little packages of starch with an unpleasant texture and no intrinsic taste wrapped in a plastic skin and swathed in a tomato and sugar glop with spices and E numbers. The  adherents of various brands have their preference based on the flavour (I use the term loosely) of the glop, the actual beans are identical.

If you enjoy them, great. In fact you can have my share but I have no intention of eating anything polluted by them.

Would've been nice if they'd cooked both sides of the sausage, and the bread. It's a sensible plate away from being a 4/10.

Sugar and E numbers are boss, just not in baked beans.

I've gone over the ingredients a few times, but I cannot locate the E numbers. Can you help out?

E-numbers relating to modified corn starch. And you could probably do a similar exercise for spice and herb extracts

 

Companies don’t name e-numbers anymore as the general public aren’t keen on them

But there's E-numbers, and then there's E-numbers. Just using the term "E-numbers" is intended to imply something sinister, isn't it.

 

I mean, I doubt people would describe Vitamins B, C and E as E-numbers, but they are.

Was that bacon cooked while tied to a spacecraft reentering earths atmosphere ?

I like my bacon crispy, to be fair it wasn’t the best cuts, if it had been decent then the eye of the back bacon takes a lot less heat, as I cook it separate to the streaky fat, but in the fat just before serving.
