Is it illegal to cook a breakfast fresh / from scratch?

ArtSmart

This thread might belong elsewhere as this a serious question.

I woke from a nap there a min ago, remembering with horror my most recent bought cafe sit-in breakfast. Beyond bad. Like, psycho bad, microwaved muck.

But it's been happening so often now, over the last ten years or so, everything microwaved, bar the eggs, that I wonder if its illegal to cook rashers etc from scratch?

Anyone know?

The last straw was that the most recent place, actually did something weird with the eggs, like as if they were cooked in a microwave or strange sort of steamer. shockingly bad.

Dunno where you're getting yours mate but any dirty fry I've had out of a caff has been the b*llocks - a load of low to medium quality fried/hotplated pork and eggs, just as it should be.

Stop eating in shítholes and you won't have to eat microwaved food.

Simple.

Microwaved sausages are grand. Rest should be cooked fresh.

well yeah, I'll def concede that. But rashers are so very very rarely cooked from fresh. I've been to cafes length and breath or Ireland, same thing. Pre-cooked rashers, microwaved.

either others can't tell, or I'm very, very unlucky.

get yourself a few free range duck eggs from down by the canal for breakfast.

If you ever stop in loughrea (fcuk knows why you would) but there is a cafe on th main street next to a fairly big car park.
Mcdonaghs I think its called.
All fresh and much cheaper than 10e.

How are microwaved sausages nice?? Who does a thing like that? Wouldn't they be like coddle sausages all floppy and soft

Sausages need to be fried and browned , microwaved sausages .. jesus

ArtSmart

Right, well I needed to share that with the world.

So it's not illegal. Grand. I wasn't sure if i should complain, as I genuinely thought there was some kind of health board or whatever restrictions.

so next time, they're gonna get a piece of my mind, or brain (for cooking)

In a microwaved world, they're the least afront.

Try tomatoes, mushrooms, rashers, hash browns etc etc. And most recently, fooking eggs! Bah Humbug.

Nite all, bed calls

Shlippery

aw, I can't post gifs. (what a waste of time.)



Still, found plenty of deadly cafes in Dublin! A fry is a hard thing to perfect!

I was talking about the skin on the sausage but if you must go there brown sauce on a batch loaf and sausages is lovely and a great hangover cure

Forgive me. Sheer bad luck that I just this moment finished my lovely, microwaved sausages! Seriously! Got some pig and apple ones in the fridge. Been playing on my mind ..... Whacked a couple in the microwave. Fcuking lovely!

I'd suggest it's the Quality of the food, to start with. Put a plastic tube of rusk in? What do ye expect out? No matter how ye cook it?

Manner matters. Bacon, in a micro? Fantastic ~ it ye use a proper bacon tray. Raised ridges across it. Don't ask me the science. But, the bacon's bloody lovely!

But, all of this and more can go to rat schit, the moment they bung it under one of those fcuking heat lamps, for an hour or more, before you roll in, rubbing ye hands and asking for a Full Irish

Ruu

They must have used Can't Believe Its Not Eggs. I bet they were low cholesterol or some shite like that.

I can abide grilled sausages. But microwaved? Disgraceful philistines.

Nooooo!!! I must protest, sir! Grilled is good ~ probably even best? I haven't got a grill though

Fried? It even rhymes with " Suicide "!

But, a Really Good Quality sausage, properly microwaved ~ just a few minutes, each side. On a bed of kitchen roll, to absorb any excess juices? Fcuk, Yeah!!!

The ****ing thought of it is nightmarish.

They dont cook them in a microwave.
They cook them in some deep fat fryer in an industrial estate in ballyfermot (or similar) and ship them to the cafe (and hundreds of other cafes) who just heat them up in the microwave.

I was at a bagel place recently and seen they had a sausage and egg bagel, i decided to try it out.

Out comes a bag of whisked eggs, poured into a bit of round tupperware, a couple of sausages thrown in, banged in the microwave. A minute later I had a bagel.

The tupperware made the egg/sausage combo the shape of the bagel which I thought was a good idea.
It tasted like a hikers sock though.

Hande hoche!

Exactly, tis a reheating tool.

Never a bad time to show this clip - microwaved food is the best food.

Production qualities are to die for.

Thanks Winterlong, I really thought I was going to have to point out the fact that they are pre cooked and reheated.

Years ago when I worked in that area, it was generally the posh places that done that sort of thing. There was a great greasy spoon on Bath Ave. that cooked fresh in front of your eyes and was delicious (it has since sold up and become an expensive cafe which looks prettier but serves worse food). One just beside James Gate that done the same but it looked closed the last time I was there. The only other place I remembering cooking fresh in Dublin was a small cafe on Pearse St. across the road from the Dart station. You couldn't eat there but they would cook a fresh sausage sandwich and a cup of brewed coffee for about 3.50 takeaway, no idea if it is still there.

That wasn't Munchies, was it?

I used to go for breakfast there, back when brunch hadn't been invented yet.

One day I noticed their method for making scrambled eggs... tossed into a cup and thence into the microwave. A pot noodle would have been more appetizing.
