Eh? little chips? ... French Fries.

Eggs is for scrambling,with butter, Milk, salt and pepper. served up on freshly made Buttered toast. Almost as good as A cheese beanie

Send a photograph and I'll consider putting you on the list.

Morninks and evenincks I drinks Warninks? Not I. Eggs essential for the Christmas Cake, Yorkshire puddings and a proper breakfast.

The last can be any of Poached (at which I am rather more misser than hitter - ending too hard), fried - with proper accoutrements of crispy streaky bacon, Andreas Cumberland sausage, fried bread etc. or a slightly less rare treat scrambled on toast.

The microwave being fine for that last and also infuriates the better cooks (as it did Ma when I used the de-humidifier to show her how to ensure her icing set. Once only, and it explains why I then had to take over the Christmas cake-making. She was a great cook but hated it, a job for staff).

We had an old family joke - "If we had eggs, we could have eggs on toast, if we had bread."
Or, there was that old morning request of my Dad's, "How would you like your boiled eggs fried, poached?"
Anything to egg you people on ...
When is the Golden Dreamer coming to New Zealand? Mind you, it'll have come a long way up the Manawatu River to get to where I am. No hens here, just a great big dairy factory. Take a trip down when the weather is finer, in Jan-Feb. A nice 12500 mile jaunt for New Year 2025.
We can arrange some Maori's to do the Haka (without a rugby field) to welcome you. Anything for a laugh!

A capital idea, I'll get the Noble Lord to do a Passage Plan, he's refitted ECDIS with triode valves.
As regards the Haka, it's a busted flush, we Irish regularly whupp the All Blacks. With and without McCaw.

And no leg of lamb for Christmas lunch.

The Manawatu River holds no fear for us, we've run aground in better rivers, the old Suez River can be a wee bit tricky and the locals a bit uppity if you touch bottom on their, or rather our, waterway.
So KTF my Harrissey friend and start your preps.
