I don't think I'd have married my English husband had I realised early in our relationship that he abhorred mince on toast with a poached egg,
or leftovers on toast with a poached egg, or spinach with a poached egg, or bubble and squeak with a poached egg. He is unrelenting in his distaste for such peculiar breakfasts. 
Left over curry with a poached egg another trance inducing delight 
for me but not for him. Meanwhile, he happily 
tucks into weebix with a mountain of white sugar and ice cold milk even in the midst of winter. It makes me gag 
and I have to prepare it for him. 
There is no fairness in life. I know, I'm and idiot for putting up with it all but his scorn and derision and absolute conviction of the wrongness of mince on toast, plays havoc with my gentle psyche.

What about tinned Watties spaghetti with cheese on toast for breakfast? Another masterpiece in my book; and somehow, I don't know how, I've even got the Colonel eating it on rare occasions, when the mornings are frosty round the edges. I'm truly sorry if bringing this up has upset some fragile morning digestions. Of course an egg on top makes it even better, but the Colonel won't be led too far astray in this regard, so it's plain cheesy spaghetti for him.

Thank you for bringing it up Kone. It almost made me bring up my muesli with grapes and yoghurt!

You are most welcome Lorna. May have hit upon a new diet here. This will make you bring up the rest of it. All this mince on toast has inspired me to heat up last nights chicken stir fry. Heating as we speak and of course, 2 lil eggs plopping in the water bath. Don't thank me, send cheque instead.

He loves eggs Griz. He thinks I make the best poached, scrambled and perfectly boiled egg dishes in the world. 
He likes them on toast, with toast, soldiers are nostalgic reminders of his mummy and welcome to share his plate. It's what's under them that gets his grundies in a tangle. He's even been known to eat bacon and egg pie but not too often. While I'm here I may as well tell you that I've discovered putting vinegar into the water you are going to hard boil your eggs, enables the shells to almost peel themselves. It also removes the colour which I find intriguing. A brown egg will lose most of its colour. Cool what?

Did anybody see the video with Al Brown speaking on the subject?
It popped up on my facebook page so I had to see what it his opinion was. It is so refreshing to hear someone with a down to earth approach. He doesn't seem to me to be someone who would be into posturing. No other names mentioned, of course.
