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

    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.

    I thought this was going to be about killing your own pigs and harvesting some bacon

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :(
