Italian Chicken Sausage, kale, egg white, kiwi, blueberry, avocado, sprouts, sauerkraut, cucumber, ghost pepper hot sauce + chocolate milk

Decided to upgrade the standard sausage roll today. Wrapped jumbo hotdogs with a layer of melted cheese inside puff pastry. Crimped the edges, scored the tops, and gave them a proper egg wash before baking until incredibly flaky and golden. Cut it open so you can see that cheese layer inside! Would you smash this, or stick to a normal sausage roll? Rate my plate!

In post-war Britain, a young entrepreneur, John Greggs had started going door to door selling eggs. “Greggs’ Eggs! Greggs’ Eggs! They’re not real eggs if they’re not from Greggs’” he would bellow at the top of his voice whilst doing his early morning rounds. But, much to his frustration, no one wanted eggs at 2am. No matter how loudly he would bang on their doors. He needed a new plan.

He thought back to one encounter, where a local alcoholic woman approached him from the dark depths of a back alley. All she kept asking for was sausage. “I’ve told you woman, Greggs only sells eggs!”, he shouted at her, presenting his collection. The woman just shook her head and walked backwards, until she was once again engulfed in the darkness.

John suddenly wondered if this woman could have been an angel in disguise, directing him to his one true calling?

And thus, with that, John Greggs began making long sausage pies and called them Gregg Rolls. Now all sorts of people in Britain eat them every day for breakfast. but mostly fat people.

Let’s settle a debate: Would you eat winkles, or is it a hard pass? 🐚 I went out and picked these fresh off the rocks here in Swansea today, boiled them up for 5 minutes, and ate them with a pin. Proper old-school seaside snack for me, but I know some people can’t stand the thought of them. Have you ever actually tried them, or would you refuse? Let’s hear it!

Finally not 40 degrees outside, so can enjoy my ramen!!

Dark chocolate mirror glaze, coffee mousse, white chocolate coffee ganache, chocolate sponge

Absolutely not perfect but I know how to do it better next time

One of my treats of the week, it took me decades but I can now make a very passable BIR chicken madras. I can share the recipe if you like or just share my joy as it tastes as good as it looks to me

Everyone and their grandmother knows that Spaghetti Bolognese is completely British. Did we appropriate the meat sauce? Maybe. But it's basically a mince stew which doesn't get anymore British.

Plus Italians use recipes which us Brits never let hold us back. My mum puts courgettes and olives in hers because she's a psychopath, but that's her choice.
