Eggs Benedict in ED......... (anyone?)

[Jimbo]

I am on the hunt for the best Eggs Benedict in ED??

In fact, I am at the early stages of my hunt. I don't know of a venue which offers Eggs Benedict in ED.

Would be grateful for any guidance in the matter!!!

[georgia]

The Magdala do I think

[SeanMacGabhann]

think the Uplands does them but would be surprised if Palmerston & Liqourish didn't

[bailey]

had EB in the black cherry last weekend, not bad bit too heavy on the hollandaise

IMHO, good coffee though.

[ratty]

I have always wondered what Eggs Benedict is!

[mockney piers]

Glorified poached egg on toast with mayo basically.

[Keef]

Good work ratty, I didn't want to be the one to ask ;-)

[Polly D]

This is REALLY naughty but one day when not in ED, try the Balham Bar and Kitchen - yum yum and yummy. Back to darling ED, however, and I reckon the Black Cherry would be your best bet. Something in the wallpaper.

Polly

Don't tell anyone but I have a soft spot for Balham. Back in a previous life (let's call it London v1.0 circa 1990 before I decamped to Devon) I lived around there and have friends there still. Plus it has The Bedford

While it's not strictly about eggs benedict (ok not at all)... there appears to be nowhere in East Dulwich serving decent quiche. The East Dulwich deli's quiche offering is a shocker and the quiche in the market is disappointing (altho the tartlets are good). I know quiche used to be a guardian-reading joke out of a Posy Simmonds cartoon but if anyone can recommend anywhere, then you'd make this quiche eater very happy.

[mockney piers]

Yaay. Nothing wrong with a softspot for balham. I lived there on and off for a bit in a flatshare with a certain french protestant. Our love of ED needn't be to the exclusion of all London after all.

I do like the Bedford alot, and we were to varying extents involved with the refurb in terms of advice to the new owners, and for my part, keeping their turnover healthy by drinking too much. ho hum...and the owner STILL owes me my Bedford Club 100 t-shirt.

I had to be helped across the road to my house by a passing policeman who picked me up off the floor, but I _did_ manage the club 100 challenge!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Fair Play MP - and to think there is nothing of you..

[mockney piers]

My brother found me fast asleep on the steps about 5 hours later. It was about 7 years ago now and there is no way I could manage it again.

I believe there might be a CPT attempt coming soon though.

[Keef]

Mockney, is this the challenge that Crystal keeps trying to get me to do?

[mockney piers]

Uh huh.

I don't recommend eggs benedict beforehand if you get my drift.

[Keef]

Hmmm...... Not sure it's a great idea, but will do it if only to see Crystal fall over :)-D

[TillieTrotter]

Tell us more MP, what is this challenge? I may have done it unwittingly.

[Ant]

Sounds messy, whatever it is.

[mockney piers]

Oh dear god, why did you make me look on the internet Tillie?

100 shots of beer in a 100 minutes (every minute on the minute)

Is much harder than it sounds. Of the 12 or so who started only 2 of us finished and I have no recollection of the last 10 or so, memory filtered back in about 5 or ten minutes after my 100th, 15 minutes later I staggered home with little or no coordination. Aren't policemen nice.

Mind you we'd had a couple of bottles of wine with sunday lunch prior to that as I had no idea I was going to be plunged into that ridiculousness in the afternoon.

Monday at work was deeply unpleasant.

Not for the faint hearted......

[Ant]

Any idea how many pints that equates to? (Apart from too many?)

[capt_birdseye]

Sounds like the kind of activity that ends with a drive on the porcelain bus.

[mockney piers]

It's a tad over 6 pints. Not a huuuge skinful for a night out, but in an unrelenting hour and 40 minutes.........

Yes captain, it does.

[mockney piers]

** lounged myself twice in one day - doh!! **

[nutty]

hee hee - I've played that game more than once under the guise of "centurions" (sounds much more manly)

I hate to brag but I didn't find it a problem (perhaps because our shots were always measured using camera film cases, not sure if these may be less than a shot?). The last time I completed it we upped the ante by changing every tenth shot for a shot of red wine. The two of the four us competing who didn't complete the challenge made quite a mess mind.

[mockney piers]

Hats off to you Nutty, we all have different physiology. I'm sure the late great Hunter S Thompson would probably have found it a breeze with whisky ;)

If you want another go at it then I believe Nathan and the CPT may be sponsoring a session some time in the near future.

CrystalClear and Keef may have more details.
