Late Sunday breakfast. Two fried eggs, can of beans, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and flatbread. A bit calorie dense but by god it helped me to get on my feet. And by "on my feet" I mean to the living room to play some Fallout Tactics. Good morning UK chat goons. Edit: What a dumb cat, I want 37 of them-snipe.

Some people add onions but they are objectively wrong about everything in life and should be ashamed of themselves. A clove of garlic is optional and you can chuck some slices of chorizo if you want some meat and can't find Turkish sucuk (spicy beef/lamb sausage).J Kenji Lopez-Alt has a nice old school menemen video with western ingredients (the Turkish hot green peppers might be hard to find) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFxXw0eSSC0 It's just so good

Shakshuka is the least effort its cooked tomatoes with extras and poach an egg in it Add or subtract whatever you feel like based on mood and availability

I honesly cannot tell them apart. 1 of the dudes is just avg, the other has a 6 cyl bmw. But i don't/cannot see a difference between them. Sometimes, like what happened last time, I will ask him where his car is and he will be like 'what car'. bad.

palates are not universal, e.g. curries made for english consumption are not necessarily the ones you would find in india authenticity isn't bad but isn't necessarily top priority in a dining experience

I had chicken balls* and curry sauce from a local Chinese takeaway last night, beginning to worry I've appropriated Scottish culture of only eating something if it's battered and deep-fried. *If those were just the balls, I'd hate to see the size of the chicken

Apparently Chinese takeaways had to invent their own curries when they started in the UK because people weren't sure what the food was. I can totally believe that because where I am there are still people who don't trust it

Gosh I just love it when my boss and coworkers remind me and also customers they are only wearing PPE because of me. I mean we could be wearing it because we have a very public facing job but nah, it's the sicko who won't come back to work unless people use masks and gloves I know they mean well, it's just very frustrating and makes me feel like an inconvenience.
