Double layered bacon and egg sandwich

[NotAllThere]

When I worked in Geordieland and the canteen was shut, we'd send out for a few "heartattack-in-a-buns". Blackpud, hamburger, sausage, bacon, egg, brown and red sauce, in a half a stottie.

yummy

The place that made them was just round from my flat. I found out that if I bought one of these, I could eat it, and be just licking my fingers as I walked into the very splendid and worthwhile lounge of the Killingworth Arms, at the top of the Heaton Road, having nicely lined my stomach in preparation for an evening's quaffing of many fine ales.

Fondue and kirsch just isn't the same.

Lidl's sell it.

They also do a 'Scottish breakfast' made up mostly of stuff even I can afford not to buy.

Ahhh someone else who now finds they need to shop at Lidl, I detest the place with a vengeance, the one I go to is like being in Saudi, half the shoppers only have their eyes peeping out. It is cheap as chips though.

I've been using Lidl's for about 8 years. They do some stuff I can't get elsewhere, like proper cheese and decent yet cheap wine and bacon without added water and soft drinks with no artificial sweetener and and and.

Why do you detest the place? Pride?

Lidl/Audi is fun for the odd visit, but I wouldn't want to do my weekly shopping there.

Square-sausage is a wonderful invention. Now we just need square eggs.

2 reasons

1) Many years ago I worked for them as a permie. They treat their staff very, very badly, especially the least well paid ones on the shop floor. The store managers and area managers made Hitler look good.
2) My nearest Lidl is full of customers wearing full burqa, which makes me feel very uncomfortable and is why I don't live in the Middle East.

Already there. My kids regularly request it for breakfast. Mrs Ruse found a device in a charity shop, you put in a normal boiled egg and leave it in the fridge for 10 mins, out comes a square boiled egg.

Reminds me of the good old days back in Scotland, the tripple decker: square sausage, fried egg and tattie scone, on an over fired roll. Greatest hangover cure known to man.

Nope! Triple fried egg, chilli chutney sandwich.

I remember working at the DHSS at the Elephant & Castle some years ago. The breakfast in the canteen there was great, a real good fry up which kept you going until the mid-morning coffee break onto the extended lunch break in the pub followed by siesta then high tea. Them were the days (and being paid weekly with a cheque)

So if they wore T-shirts and jeans you'd move out there?! Seems a bit of a shallow reason. Now I don't think it's un-PC to admit you aren't 100% comfortable with people who cover their faces, but choosing your shops based on this is a little extreme. You don't go to the supermarket to interact with people do you?

That and public executions, cutting off hands and public lashings for relatively minor offences, no rights for women, no democracy etc etc

I don't really care if it isn't PC I don't like Burqas in the same way I wouldn't be happy in a shop full of people wearing balaclavas.
