...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.

Ahhh
You're open!
Fantastic.
I'd like a coffee today if possible

Frownette · 15/04/2020 05:42

@SlowHorse I had a yen for scrambled eggs as well; no smoked salmon in though

sashh · 15/04/2020 05:46

@SlowHorse Why wait for the weekend?

I'll have to use tinned pulses for the Sabar, I trust that's not a problem.

[nom, nom] Munch, slurp, munch.

OMG! How did you manage to source the "Drumstick" long beans!!! These tinned Moong lentils are loads better than any cooked from scratch! As for coconut chutney... dribble...

Can I have American style pancakes with loads of butter, Maple syrup and bacon today? Pretty please? Xx

SlowHorse · 15/04/2020 06:26

Or fried plantain with very spicy fish Yassa if African day?

sashh · 15/04/2020 06:34

Of course I have fried plantain, I might even wrap it in bacon. IRL I live in Wolverhampton, drumsticks are easy to find. When did we stop shopping ans stat 'sourcing' food?

Good Morning Sashh, I would love a tea when you are free please.

sashh · 15/04/2020 06:43

@Dancing. Tea is not a problem, Earl Grey OK? Or would you prefer Breakfast Tea

OP posts:
Dancingtomusic · 15/04/2020 06:46

Breakfast tea with toast and jam please

Biscusting · 15/04/2020 06:50

This thread is so sweet, i miss popping into a coffee shop. I would love a frothy latte

Dancingtomusic · 15/04/2020 06:59

Eating 'drumsticks' when I was little it was such a magical thing...

Sashh, how are they mandazi coming along....are they being fried? I feel like I have tried mandazi before. They will be delicious if they are still warm. Are they like teeny tiny dounuts but triangle shape?

@Biscusting yes this thread is very sweet. Its my favourite. Smile

Dancingtomusic · 15/04/2020 07:12

@sashh I'm staying with your cafe. I only joined mumsnet two days ago - so I could join you all in this beautiful cafe. I love the sensory garden outside - dreamy scents.
Oh my virtual cat has followed me in. My cat acts more like a dog than a cat. Dont worry he is really very friendly.

sashh · 15/04/2020 07:16

Tea, coffee (including frothy latte) and fresh from the fryer mandazi

@Dancing I'm missing vaisakhi celebrations this year, loads of nice food

Extra mandazi for me please, I'd like a coffe now too. Short with a touch of frothy milk!

Ahh, I needed that cup of tea, thanks. I tried 2 mandazi....still warm...oh they were, fluffy warm sweet dounuts....wow. Ok I must not try anymore.

Could I have alittle bowl of cat milk please for my cat that looks like a tiny panther. Maybe then he will stop trying to get everyone else here to pet and cuddle him.

@sashh aww I can understand you missing the food at Vaisakhi. I bet it would be amazing. I watched a very interesting programme on Bbc 2 explaining Vaisakhi, I learnt alot. I miss Punjabi samosas during lockdown. I wish the samosa shop was closer to where I live.

moolady1977 · 15/04/2020 08:02

Can I have a decaf tea please and I'll try all the exotic bits for breakfast please, I love trying different stuff @sashh

PinkDaydreams · 15/04/2020 08:06

Good morning! Please can I have an earl grey and of the offer of bacon and pancakes is still going I’ll have some please?!
I’m just going to sit here and wait for some cats to jump up on my knee (I have dreamies in my pocket for them Grin )

Dancingtomusic · 15/04/2020 08:19

@PinkDaydreams I wondered why my cat dashed off...he going to be so happy sitting on your lap. He loves dreamies cat treats! He is a very loving, cuddly cat.

sashh · 15/04/2020 09:14

There are dreamies, ham and cat milk in the cat corner of the garden in case the cats get fed up of sitting on knees.

@Dancing my brother lives in Cornwall, I don't think he's ever been in a sweet centre, but every year my dad stops off at mine on the way to his and I have to load him up with samosas.

Morning! Have finally cottoned on to fact that cat is waking me up at silly O'clock because she wants a trip to the cafe!

sashh · 15/04/2020 09:41

@whatever45 Your cat is more than welcome to visit alone if you want to stay in bed.

PinkDaydreams · 15/04/2020 10:08

I love cats so much!! Lost my boy a couple of years ago, he was only three. He adored dreamies and cuddles! I think Ive found my spot in the garden, with the cats 😻
