...because I didn't close it over the weekend.

Today's special is eggs.

Boiled, fried, poached, coddled, convent, I might even do scotch eggs.

Tea and coffee as always and toast of course.

Oooh no not vegan!

Go on I'll have some cumberlands. Scrambled eggs please, on the wet side. Big cafetiere of the strongest coffee please. I have to be up for work at 6 and I'm debating whether it's worth even bothering trying to sleep.

It's funny that you mentioned coddled eggs, I'd never heard of them until literally yesterday when I was having a feeling-sorry-for-myself Four In A Bed marathon, and a lady on there was making them.

I'm not eating fried hedgehog 🦔, I'll stick to eggs please.
And strong black coffee.
Dc are starting e learning based at school and dh is also working from home. I feel annoyed already.

midwestspring · 17/03/2020 03:18

No dc are starting evaded school learning at home. Big difference!!

loubieloo4 · 17/03/2020 03:24

I'll have the fried hedgehog if you take out the spines first, with a very large strong coffee ☕️

sashh · 17/03/2020 03:50

I'm not cooking hedge hog, or foxm they are being fed scraps.

@PolPotNoodle

It seems both coddled and convent eggs are not as common as I thought.

Please may I join and have a large sausage sandwich, on white bread with tomato sauce? And a cappuccino? Please? It might help my bottom lip to stop sticking out as I sulk about having to cancel my trip to The Highlands next month?

Bluewater1 · 17/03/2020 06:24

Morning. May I have a sausage sandwich with brown sauce and a cup of tea please Sashh?

sashh · 17/03/2020 06:43

I hope we are not going to have a red v brown incident in here.

Loved red sauce as a youngster, can't face it now, too sweet

Bluewater1 · 17/03/2020 06:55

The dog's a bit muddy.....can I still bring her in?

sashh · 17/03/2020 06:58

The dog will be fine, there's an old towel over there you can dry her off with, I assume a sausage for the dog is on the order?

Are you doing waffles and beans as part of the fry up?

If so I'll take a full fry but with no eggs or tomatoes please and thank you!

sashh · 17/03/2020 07:28

I have potato waffles but not the sweet ones. Berans, obviously and I have a little bubble and squeak.

oh heck I am late is the cafe still open? , I dont mind burnt offerings

NoGravyForYou · 17/03/2020 17:42

I could just murder a scone and a cuppa right now, don't suppose there's any going? 🤣

sashh · 18/03/2020 00:43

Yes still open, help yourselves to tea and coffee.

My grandmother was a wise woman, she said you shouldn't drink Champagne to celebrate, you should drink it when you are down.

As I have a cold I'm opening the Champagne and making Bucks Fizz

BretonKitten · 18/03/2020 00:47

I’ve just opened a mini bottle I got at Xmas, so I’ll join you. Wouldn’t mind a sausage roll to go with, if you’ve got enough for another. Thank you.

sashh · 18/03/2020 00:56

Still a few sausages around, I'm assuming you mean a bread roll not a pastry one. Although IRL I made sausage rolls this week and my carer claimed they were as good as Greggs.

As I'm serving champagne I'm doing posh breakfasts, so smoked salmon, eggs benedict, scrambled egg with chives and cream.

OP posts:
Bluewater1 · 18/03/2020 04:52

Ooh smoked salmon and champagne pleaseSmile

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 18/03/2020 04:58

I've popped back for two reasons. One, i wanted to thank everyone for their kindness a few days ago. And two, i love bucks fizz! I'll go with a liquid breakfast for now, please

sashh · 18/03/2020 05:27

@TheBitchOfTheVicar how's life treating you today?

HeronLanyon · 18/03/2020 05:33

Hi everyone - saw steamed up window as I was taking early morning walk. I’d love poached egg on toast and maybe a small Buck’s Fizz if you have more (classy cafe!).
Happy to help out serving or washing dishes if you are short staffed.

ProperVexed · 18/03/2020 05:37

I love champagne. Do you think it will get rid of my headache? So a glass of that please and Eggs Benedict...I can do posh!
