Ever use a George Foreman for cooking a fry?

No pan? Simple. Wait for it to be cleaned, used and food served. In the mean time, beer will make a good sustitute for any food.
If theres no beer however, then you have a predicament. You really need to think about your life and perhaps trading up to a more efficient model.

Slightly off-topic but a good way to add a great taste of fat to anything (even these greenery thingies that the mistress puts into the food):

I usually buy some beef dripping from the local butcher. Get yourself some of these trays like the chippers or Chinese take-aways use (Tesco stocks them). Now cut the dripping into little cubes not larger than 1cm x 1cm and place in a pot. Heat the pot and watch the dripping liquefy.
Pour off the liquid into the trays, repeat procedure until nothing is left in the pot but tough inedible solids. Throw out or let the cat/dog have it.

Once the liquid beef dripping in the trays has cooled down you can put a lid on them and store them in the freezer for ages (definitely for up to 6 months if not longer). Just take them out whenever you want to add a good bit of strong healthy beef fat.....ok...I'm drooling already...

Lovely,

Coat pringles in afore mentioned beef dripping allow to harden in fridge, i'm off to the patents office on the way to the butchers!!!!!!!:)

I don't buy crisps anymore but make my own pork snack by using pork belly, slice it in medium thick squares, fry it until crisp but with the fat intact (similar to crackling) and keep them as a crispy snack for later (you can add pepper or spices to your liking).

You don't buy ANY crisps now? Not one single, solitary type of crisp? Jeeze!

Making your own snacks is quite admirable, but way too much hard work for something to nibble on while drinking beer & watching the telly.

Tearing open a bag of Cheezy-Wotsits or Bear-In-The-Big-Blue-House Corn Snacks (well at 1am HB Jr I won't be needing them ) is much easier.

Well, I admit I can't get past the pork crispy thingies (sorry, forgot the name) but for some reason I find crisps unsatisfying. I just need something more substantial

A mini fry perhaps?
Just two sossies, two rashers, two puddings, two potato cakes, beans and some mushies should see you through to dinner time.

Indeed, a mini fry is always a good option. But not on a George Foreman grill. It has to be the greased-up pan or oven tray!

exactly, if it isn't swimming in delicious, healthy grease, it isn't really food (Ice cream being the only exception to this.)

Food that doesn't swim in any grease or greasy substance? Never heard of it :eek:

Something seems to have been overlooked here. This foreman thingy. It isn't called a "fryer". It's a grill. How can a "fry up" be made in it?

Quite right, however, if you are stuck it should be permitted to use any means possible to prepare some fried greasy meats!

Can you get someone to constantly put frystuff into the george foreman, throw it out when it's cooked and just position yourself under the grease spigot so that you get a steady flow of meaty goodness without having to chew?

go one step further, and invent the BGRH intravenous grease drip

mainline d'grease.

the perfect snack to make you want more beer!

You mean like these in this thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055170745

I'd love to try them, never had them before. In fact, what I meant originally are the bacon fries (I think). I will go an buy some so I know exactly what they are called. Damn you, language-barrier!
