And it'll be the outlook for Thursday

Wow. Fried leftover mashed potato, black pudding, and a fried egg. Breakfast of Kings.

OK, not really breakfast as such, but "lunch of Kings" is such a wet phrase.

Definitely a fried egg sort of day today. I made green thai fried eggs for my lunch.

("Lunch of Kings" sounds like a bun with little strips of fried monarch and some lettuce and mayonnaise in it...)

green thai fried eggs

Do tell.

Also, were they invented purely for an "... and ham" joke ?

There's not much to tell.

* Stir fry some random greenery.
* Once it's about half done, add a scoopful of green thai paste.
* A bit later, add coconut milk until the sauce is the right consistency.
* Once the contents of the pan are properly hot, drop in two eggs and turn the heat down.
* Stir the whites just enough to stop them sticking. Don't mess with the yolks.

purely for an "... and ham" joke

That's just a bonus. The main motivation was that today is shopping day so if I wanted any protein in my fried plants it was going to have to be egg!

That's quite a lot to tell :) I wouldn't have thought of putting eggs in that sort of a sauce.

Is there protein in coconut milk? I feel like there should be, but can't guarantee it (and the answer is possibly 'not enough', anyway).

I have half a tin of coconut milk to use up, I may have to give this a whirl.

Is there protein in coconut milk?

I assume so, but I use the reduced fat sort which is a lot like milk in terms of consistency. I suppose I could have added a load of coconut flour, but the result might come out weird since that stuff's really sweet tasting.

Black pudding is the food of the gods. Really really powerful and rich and so on gods.

This was specially yummy black pud made by Andy-the-prizewinning-blackpud-maker in Lancashire. On his recommendation I caramelized an (eating) apple in butter, seared the sliced-up pudding in the butter, then deglazed the pan with cider and ate with loads of mash. It was good advice :)

Though his original comment was "Proper cider, mind. White Lightning'll have the Teflon off your pan."

Wow, that sounds very good indeed.

I have recently discovered that our local Co-op stocks black pudding :-)

Ooh, so it'll be proper northern black pud with big squares of fat in it, rather than scottish pud which tends to have too much oatmeal in it really? Excellent. And that sounds *gorgeous*.

God that sounds good.
I very rarely have leftover mashed potato, no matter how much I make the night before...

Took a lot of willpower... but when it wouldn't fit on the plate...

Damn.

Hungry now.
