"On the subject of seafood with other stuff, prawns in curry seems to me a total waste of prawns. You get the texture, but the taste largely disappears. The exception is lightly tandooried prawns - no sauce - but otherwise they're at the finest plain boiled."

Visited Porto recently(lovely city and as cheap as chips 2.50 a pint tops)they do an omelette type dish with bacaleau (salt cod) ite well nice. A traditional fish pie includes boiled eggs so I would suggest the theory of eggs and fish not accompanying one another is a load of bollocks. This doesn’t however distract from the fact that Antonio has been fucking shit of late.

"Not a huge fan of omeletts, but OK from time to time and would typical only have one in a nice hotel at breakfast, and I haven't done that for a few years now. They need to be done properly mind, or can just look like a mess on a plate."

As myself and too much too young have said it’s a classic combo with the addition of a few other bits and pieces. Omelette Arnold Bennett is on the menu around the classier places uptown.It’s a top bit of fucking scoff.

Old-style newspaper inks are know to be slightly carcinogenic if ingested (although that's not the reason why newspaper was banned from fish and chip shops - general hygiene was)

"My mum cooked fresh mackerel in an odd way. She would wrap a cleaned, gutted and seasoned mackerel in newspaper, rolling several times to make a parcel. Then she'd run it briefly under the tap to dampen the paper, tuck the ends under then put it on a baking tray in a hot oven. As soon as the newspaper was dry, she'd take it out and unwrap the fish. The skin would stick to the paper and the bones would be easy to pick out. We would eat the flesh with vinegar or lemon and pepper."

"Swindon Town. Graham MACKRELL was club secretary when we fucked up about Manny Omoyimni which cost us a semi final in the League Cup. On the subject of Mackerel, I like it. But I’m not surprised it was too overpowering for an omelette. I had one today with cheese and salami."

"If you mean fresh mackerel, then just lemon juice, salt and some nice bread. Zeb - agreed."

"There is one English league football team whose full name has no letters from the word MACKEREL in it. No googling. By the way, the taste of mackerel is a bit too intense for an omelette, in my opinion. It was alright, but a bit MUCH. Mackerel should just be served with spinach or broccoli or suchlike IMO."

"Newcastle take the lead over Arsenal. Lenny, please be specific. Do you mean smoked mackerel (yes please), cooked fresh mackerel (possibly) or tinned mackerel (probably not)? Three entirely different omelettes."

"A local spot near me called Plums Cafe serves up some delightful breakfast dishes. Dungeness crab omelette. Smoked salmon hash, breaded campfire rainbow trout to name but a few never disappoint. Some good stuff! Their peppered bacon is always good and goes down well with the Coconut French toast. Plus they serve breakfast all day. If you ever go to Costa Mesa it’s worth a visit."

During my time is Denmark I became partial to a rollmop on rugbr??d (ryebread)with a curry sauce made from mayonnaise finely chopped egg and curry powder washed down with ice cold Aalborg akvavit ...nowadays a couple of Craster kippers with two poached eggs will suffice

"Virginia Ah yes - the oily fish issue. Most of my French, Spanish and Portuguese friends react likewise, especially to herring, which does tend to be the most up-front with the fishiness unless super fresh. In your case though it may have been the matjas fillet (most Polish herring dishes are based on this high-salt content form) not being prepared properly. Without careful prior soaking in milk, the matjas is of course disgusting. I wouldn’t give up on the herring though - the fresh Dutch variety at least is just the filleted fish straight from the water and obviously has to be caught on the day. It is superb if you like that kind of thing."

"I like watching Come Dine With Me for the petty snobbery and personality clashes. It's not exactly the best programme to pick up cooking tips (none of the buggers seem to know how to properly brown meat, for example) Anyway I've noticed that whenever they have on a contestant who comes from central or eastern Europe or somewhere in the Balkans, they naturally decide to 'treat' their guests to their ethnic cuisine (having first boasted about how their country's cuisine is marvellous) and without fail their cooking goes down like a lead balloon. I'm not surprised. I've never in my life been tempted to try any grub from those regions. Sounds ghastly. Raw herring, sour cream and chopped onion. Jesus Christ."

"Hammer and Pickle 9:19 Thu Nov 2 My new f-i-l was Polish and the first meeting featured raw herring with sour cream and chopped onion....fortunately with lashings of vodka. One mouthful of raw herring (christ almighty) later and I realised I had to get it down no matter what, so I put each chunk in my mouth and swallowed it whole. Oily fish is an acquired taste. Finished my serving before everyone else and had no choice but to accept seconds......thank god for the vodka."
