I adore a plain, beautifully cooked and seasoned omelette. At most with a few chopped herbs but cooked on its own is fine. Served with a green salad - something like fresh little gem lettuce leaves or pea shoots - dressed lightly with lemon and olive oil.

Fried egg and chips. Has to be just right though! Perfect sunny egg, perfectly sized crisp AND fluffy chips, salted to perfection...
Or like a pp, pasta with garlicky butter

I had a cheese and tomato sandwich on my own homemade bread on yesterday and I was surprised at how delicious it was.

Crab linguine. Big knob of butter, squeeze of easy garlic from a tube, zest a lemon, stir in a tin of crab meat and some chilli flakes then coat the linguine with it. Heavily seasoned and possibly some cheese as I’m a heathen delicious.

Beefsteak tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, salt, fresh basil leaves over the top and some chilli oil drizzled over (can be a good but not spicy oil if you do not like heat). Perfection.

Bacon and egg for breakfast. Grilled bacon, fried egg. The perfect combination, nothing else is needed.

CMOTDibbler · 12/06/2021 15:25

Chips. Fried properly, skin on, vinegar and sea salt (not the massive crystals, but bigger than regular table salt. possibly the flake sort). Lush

And, tbh, plain pasta, really posh butter with salt crystals and very good cheddar with a tiny twist of pepper.

Pasta, knob butter, sea salt and grated Parmesan. Wholemeal toast, mashed avocado and poached egg. Slow cooked scramble eggs with dollop of sour cream/creme fraiche mixed through and wholemeal toast. Soft Boiled egg and buttered soldiers. Smoked salmon or honey roast salmon smashed on toast.

Thanh Long style garlic noodles. Basically just fresh garlic, butter and spag/noodles. Takes 10 minutes tops.
That sounds really nice, I might try that.

Courgettes chopped into rounds and fried with a little bit of garlic and chilli. Add a glut of good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon at the end and serve with spaghetti or on toasted sourdough. You can sprinkle over some parmesan for an extra touch.

OlivesTree · 12/06/2021 16:27

Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, with a squeeze of lemon and cracked black pepper. On my own, mid morning, with a cup of really good coffee. Bliss.

As you’re getting a bit more complex, crab (dark and light meat) with mayonnaise, lemon juice and paprika, in a brown bread sandwich.
