Best fry-up in Stroud Green
I'm hungover and need recommendations.
Comments
I'd forgotten about Picolo Diavalo- they do indeed serve a mighty breakfast.
And agree about the Brave having the best food- see also beer, ambience and service.
In the end I went to Londis and then cooked my own fry-up and it was amazing.
Some people have crackers ideas about what belongs on the plate
Pork sausages slow-fried in the pan, smoked streaky bacon oven-baked until weaponised-level crispy, black pudding, hash browns, Heinz '5 beans' slow cooked until thick. Fried bread done in the pan that had the sausage and black pudding in.
Sometimes I'll go with some cholesterol-risking buttery scrambled egg, but not when hungover as egg can send me straight to the porcelain if I'm feeling nauseous already. I'm also a believer in finely-chopped chorizo cooked in with the beans, but I forgot to get any.
In an ideal situation there would be some leftover vegetables from an Indian takeaway - sag paneer is perfect - refried into a zingy take on bubble and squeak. But I'm aware that some will consider this eccentric.
Never, ever fungus.
Serve with black coffee, fruit juice and a bloody mary. If you have no tomato juice but do have marmite then an ersatz bullshot can really settle the stomach, though it's not for the faint of heart, and I do understand those who feel that particular cocktail should have been left in the 1970s
Sadly I have to report that standards have sadly declined at the Front Room: food cold (how can you do cold baked beans, FGS?) and spotty service. Alternatives?
Anticipating hangover recommendations shortly.
