Great read. I recognise these kind of cafe’s as every time the wife wants to go somewhere for breakfast you can guarantee it’ll be full of wankers on laptops and it’ll be an arm and a leg. If there is a fry up it is usually about £16.99 or something!

I don’t know where I came across the blog but it was at least a decade or so ago. I’ve always enjoyed the read as I find it light, humorous and often learn odds and ends from it. It reminds me of the Chris broughton book a bit.

Keep up the good work Groundhopper 👌

Fair play to him and Mansfield Town. Hope they can get that stand sorted, they’ll easily generate 10k crowds in L1.

Do a friggin Luton!

Fancy charging £12.50 for shakshouka!

I love a bit of shakshouka, me. I chop and fry a small onion, bit of garlic and a red pepper in a saucepan, chuck a tin and a half of chopped tomatoes in with a pinch of chilli flakes and some paprika, turn it down to a simmer once it's started bubbling and then make 3 little wells which I crack an egg into each one. Put a lid on the pan and leave it until the whites of the eggs have set. If I have any parsley on hand, I'll chop a bit of that to chuck on top - I'll take it or leave it - and then eat it out of the saucepan with crusty bread. Delicious. Cheap as chips.

If some poncy cafe tried to charge me £12.50 for it because it's got aubergine in it and chorizo (f*cking chorizo! "Can be done veggie"! What? By leaving the chorizo out that's not meant to be there in the first place?) then I'd smash the window and pee all over the floor. I've a good mind to go down there and demand they remove the word "shakshouka" from their blackboard and just call it what it is, an overpriced chorizo and tomato stew. Typical hipsters; bet they sat there rubbing their whispy bearded chins saying to each other "oh, what dish of Maghrebi origin with a cool name can we steal and bastardise to our own ends? Ahhhh, yes, "shakshouka"! F*cking nobheads.

Right, I'm off to sit down in a dark room and calm mi sen down! Good read, as ever, Sticky (y)

Not traditional I know but I love a bit of Chorizo in my Shakshuka. Although I'd put Chorizo on a bowl of cornflakes.

I see no problem here?
