 webslinky: virtual fry-ups
This week, Jody reaches for the ketchup. Nothing is better at showing your innards who's boss than a greasy fry-up. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day - even if it consists of 50 per cent lard.It pays to be choosy when selecting which establishment will dish up your poison, and you won't find a better guide than Classic Cafes. The site reports on the best greasy spoons in Britain (though the majority of those featured are in London or coastal resorts). The author chats with the cafe owners, delves into the history of each establishment and gets weepy eyed when announcing a cafe's closure, such as one of my personal favourites, Borough Cafe (cruelly demolished to make way for a rail line). If you require visual stimulation to whet your appetite take a look at All Day Brekkie. The site allows you to personalise your ideal fry-up and then download it as wallpaper so you can salivate over it all day long (my order is pictured above). If all this talk of sizzling bacon and watery eggs is jeopardizing your health, then thank the good souls who invented the microwaveable fry-up - dubbed the Breakfast from Hell by X-Entertainment. The Hungry Man All Day Breakfast is enough to put you off lard for life and is thankfully only available in the US. The packaging boasts that it contains 231 per cent of your recommended daily cholesterol intake. “Sausage has a new face,” the reviewer writes. “And it's not unlike what dogs leave on your front lawn… It's kinda sad that a pig had to die [for this].” Finally, if you're hoping to burn off some of the acquired calories, why not do so by following the handy Knit Your Own Fry-up guide. It's undoubtedly the healthiest way to enjoy an all day breakfast.
