The Nice People Thread, No.16: A Universe of Niceness.

Sometimes the nicest meals are the ones just thrown together from what's at hand.

Trouble is, they're usually unduplicatable for that very reason, and also because no one would ever write down the 'exact' recipe!

I know what you mean. One of the nicest simple meals I had was a dome of rice with runny egg yolk soaking into it from the top, in a hotel in Spain. Problem is, there's more to it than that as it tasted really nice and just using egg yolk and rice as the only ingredients is utterly dull. I can't imagine what other ingredient were used to make it so tasty.:o

More blood on Putin's hands! It turns out that, although he failed to kill the Skripals, he did manage to kill their guinea pigs.

Unpalatable is a better description for some of my "experiments" :rotfl:

As I read it, they needed water and the cat was "distressed", so probably similar.

The police procedure didn't seem to have a tick box for "check if any pets are in the house", I'm guessing they knew who he was the same day and had his address and went to his house .... or maybe a rookie dropped the "check pets" sheet from the pile of paperwork.

Was it risotto rice?

If so, it might have been cooked in butter.




Mind you, runny egg yolk is an anathema to me. Eeewwwwk.

I am eating a runny egg yolk right now. Fried egg on toast for my breakfast. Sorry Pyxis.

I think there was another tick box that said 'If nerve agent present, the pets will have to fend for themselves.' I still blame Putin.

I don't mind others eating it!
Having said that, I don't much like sitting opposite someone eating a lot of runny yolk.

I've always been funny with eggs.
They're too 'eggy'.

Though about once or twice a year, I'll get an urge to have some, but I have to cook them myself so that there are no runny bits left.

I had a bit of a runny egg in a tomato/egg roll the other night. A nice large soft bread roll with cherry tomatoes and salad cream and I soft boiled the egg so there was a little bit of runny egg left. Not enough that it went everywhere, just about half the yolk was still runny, so it didn't become a mess eating it.

Eggs are one of my omnipresent staples. I eat a lot of them as they're cheap/easy. Egg/soldiers, hard boiled eggs, scrambled, poached eggs, omelettes, egg/tomato/salad cream sandwiches, chuck a boiled egg on a plate of salad, scotch eggs .... all nom nom nom.
