Middle-Class Crisis II

[theclaud]

The watercress at the Mumbles greengrocer was below par this morning! I was obliged to substitute curly kale. Luckily it worked rather well. I'm sure there used to be a smug-faced smiley...

Here's a bacon variation. I just can't stop eating today...

Curly kale looks rather nice. I have never eaten it, but I had better not start while I am still on warfarin, because kale is extremely high in vitamin k, which would mess with my INR. I look forward to eating some next year when I switch drugs.

You think that's bad? A couple of weeks ago I found myself without Marsala and had to use a bottle of 1976 Cognac to pour over the pot roast pork - it made wonderful gravy tho.

I quite like a bit of rocket and spicy humous in with my bacon

 

[ComedyPilot]

I feel your pain - I'd run out of vermouth and had to use Pernod in the risotto last week

Tough life the middle classes have.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Hardly middle class though, there's no ciabbata involved in the sandwich.

 

[slowmotion]

That sandwich looks absolutely delicious

Doorstop, sourdough or no; utterly plebian. Apart from anything else one's veneers can't handle the crusts.

"Middle-Class Crisis II" Hmm - I thought this might have been about a move from Wales to Streatham, Brighton or some small hamlet in Oxon...(not only 'him' but Maxie Clifford too!)
I might have written "Middle-Class Crisis JJ" as it's a thread about kale. Watercrisis not the best thing to use in any sandwich bar an oeuf or tu...

 

[Crackle]

Did you cook the Kale first or just wipe the snails off it?

 

[theclaud]

I would have thought that would be better than watercress for a bacon sandwich

It's a close call. The quality of the watercress is everything - if you can get really good stuff it is hard to beat. The more usual breakfast deployment of kale chez TC would involve English muffins, poached eggs and bacon, or possible bacon, tomatoes and toast, but this is its first appearance in a sandwich. It may not be its last.

Fried it in the bacon fat. It would have been rude not to.
