WILF 48,056 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Now, obviously “The Cafe” is a serious ritual amongst proper chaps, so what are your Cafe must have and must nots?.......mine are: Tea has to be really strong and served in a heavy plain white mug (god forbid NEVER a coffee cup with some legend emblazoned on the side!!) Mushrooms must always be fried, NEVER EVER tinned or, horror or horrors, BOILED !!! Liver has to be cooked boot leather tough. Whats your Cafe nirvana? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The mug needs to be oversized though and the tea needs to be Yorkshire Gold. Black Pudding needs to be from Bury. Being at a 5000-mile disadvantage I have to do this myself. Luckily I have an excellent butcher. Saying that I frequent a couple of excellent Yank diners that can hold their own with the motherland. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samboy 315 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 A mate of mine says you should marry a bird who works in a cafe. She might be fat and ugly but at least she can cook . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush's BBQ are for campfires only. If the beans are touching anything else on the plate I send it back. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,832 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Eggs have to be actually cooked, that means no snotty whites. I can't believe I even have to say that but I've experienced it. Also if they don't do black pudding then they are just playing at it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Went for the breakfast one morning and one of the lads ( 6' 5" 19 stone) ordered his breakfast and told the poor waitress not to bring his tea in a ball scalder. The waitress asked "what's a ball scalder ?" He said "one of those mugs you cant get a finger through the handle." He meant a tea cup. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,358 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 A couple of newspapers I like a pot of tea brought out before your meal , sugar from a pourer, I don’t like being asked if everything’s okay a dozen times as well also important is a window seat , I like to look out at the world if needs be, not stuck up against a supporting strut or god forbid a fuvking wooden dividing rail 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 4,579 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Tomatoes have to be fresh tomatoes cut in half or quarters and fried and if any Cafe decides to put tinned ones on your plate making everything soggy walk out, I also agree with the Yorkshire Gold in the correct receptacle.
