    Yep. Who got it from The Crazy Bear restaurant - and very nice it is
    too. You have to fry the Parma (or Black Forest) ham very lightly and
    soft boil for 30 seconds, (and peel - now that's tricky) not fry, the
    quails eggs for the real 'half-one egg'[1] experience. And cut the
    slice of toast into quarters - it's a mini-delight.

    [1] guess what time of night we first made this.

    Free range are worth paying the difference for, IMO. Quite apart from
    any of the animal-welfare nonsense[1] the chances of salmonella and
    the like are much reduced, and the flavour[2] is noticeablybetter.

    [1] And who, when it comes down to it, will want to pay more _just_ to
    give their food a 'happier' life, if it doesn't alson make it taste
    better?
    [2] Yes, I know you'd claim not to care, or not to be able to tell,
    but you're just in the nile over this - I'd guarantee you could taste
    the difference.

    yes - that was one of the few episodes of that execrable[1] programme
    that I actually watched - there were purple and red spuds, IIRC.

    [1] fat, bearded, northern, self-styled "bikers". Ugh.

    do you have a preference for which way they're cooked?

    peeled and boiled, they can be boring whichever variety.

    Joins in. But I'm happier that it tastes better as well.

    How hard can it be to make tartiflette? And you can eat as much of it
    as you like, at home, and add extra cheese.

    You mistake the sophistication: an Irish mixed grill would be boiled
    spuds and bacon.

    heh. Do you remember the pictures of Floyd's nuts after he put a 10cm
    dent in the tank of his (?) RF900?

    Rubbish, you just haven't been made aware of it. A great example of
    this would be your self-affirmed love of Belgian frites with mayo - if
    they made them out of the "wrong" sort of potatoes you wouldn't like
    them half as much.

    Just because you've managed to remain ignorant about the food you're
    eating doesn't mean you're not enjoying the benefits of someone else's
    knowledge and experience.

    I remember the incident, and the picture of his tank, but not of his
    nuts. Thankfully.

    Anyway, I've got my own memories.

    Potatoes, bacon, cheese and cream:

    But the best recipe is Anthony Bourdain's.

    sounds great - thanks for the tip (though I'll try it with gin)

    a fairly good choice.

    Says you. I /might/[1] be having a BBQ/much-belated-house-warming do
    in the summer. If it happens and you can make it, I'll do Hasselback
    potatoes. Which rock. If you still don't like them more or fewer than
    other ways of doing potatoes then yes, you officially don't give a
    **** about potatoes.

    [1] dependant on a fairly large number of factors, so only looking
    like 25% possibility at this stage.
