How to make 'British' eggs.

I'm thinking of messaging the American woman to suggest she makes Scottish porridge, Welsh Laverbread and Irish Colcannon. Should be fun

rosecarmel you've given me the best laugh today! Thanks for that!

Have you ever watched those Facebook posts of "Five incredible food hacks" and so on? Someone demonstrates some wondrous combinations of ingredients, which are meant to pep up you meals ( most of them disgusting) or makes a series of what they call "simple" desserts, or some such thing, which magically produce results that you would pay pounds for in a restaurant.
A selection of these "hacks" were tested by professionals. They found that most of the videos were cheats. Some had invisible breaks in the action, where something essential and complicated had been done off camera that they omitted to mention. Others were potentially dangerous, or ended with pans irrevocably damaged. None of them got the results claimed.
I'd class her video with this - amusing, perhaps, but not "cooking". Made with one eye on click attraction. Both eyes. Not worth getting hot under the collar for, Rosecarmel. Are you a bit sensitive at the moment with all the slavery/Trump/trade-deals publicity showing some of the US in a bad light?

Well, I love America and the people are the most welcoming, polite and cheerful of any country I have visited.
Although, I have to agree the lady in the video is definitely not making 'British' eggs or tea correctly.

Maybe she means English history rather than Scottish, Welsh or Irish history. After all a lot of people (including a lot of the English) think that England is the UK

It isn't ridiculous, it's spot on- And considering your history, much doubt it will be the end of!

My history

What do you know about my history?

They're very funny, vq, carry on.
My only reservation is that we're adding to her wealth but if it doesn't cost me anything that's fine.

I bet she didn't eat them herself, all that sugar and cream, not to mention the amount of salt for one egg!

your history


British history?
Gransnet history?

So true. That's why she makes them. Tbh I posted it to give everyone a laugh. Seems I've opened a massive can of worms

vq she'll be better off than any of us, that's for sure, with her daft videos!

I can't make my mind up whether she's being serious or these are spoof cookery demonstrations.

Does anyone remember Delia telling us how to boil eggs? Not with sugar though

I'm lost here. Trump is an American and the American president. Why am I allowed to say negative things about him without being anti-American? If I am allowed to be negative about him then why can't I comment about other Americans? Surely your negative attitude to Donald Trump (an American) makes you anti-American.

And continuing to makes you very anti-American-

You do sound like Trump, bagging on and insulting with abandon, as you say, because you will continue to-

Americans are not being oppressed by the British, or by anyone else, so

My history or the history of the UK? Are you American? You seem to have a bee in your bonnet for no good reason that I can see. Would you like to explain why I'm being anti-American and how that makes me a racist like Donald Trump?

It isn't ridiculous, it's spot on- And considering your history, much doubt it will be the end of!

Rosecarmel…..why are you so aggressive about this? The woman, who happens to be American, chooses to put this and many other things about British food on line. She's expecting a reaction. The more views she gets the more money she earns so she puts things out that are bound to get responses. I didn't post it because she's American. I posted it because it's amusing. And as for you suggesting that we sound like Trump ….well that's just insulting.

If the American government or an American citizen does something that I agree/don't agree with or amuses I will continue to post about it. That doesn't make me anti-American.

You have no idea how much you collectively sound like white supremacist Donald Trump-

That is truly ridiculous.

At the risk of descending into “tit for tat “ - this reaction is Trump through and through!

End of.

@Elegran, I was surprised when my elderly mother started wanting sugar in her tea again, having not had it for many years. But she had dementia, and preferring sweet things is apparently a feature of the disease.
Residents in her dementia care home were given several small glasses of weak fruit squash throughout the day. A relative once complained that it should be plain water, so staff had to explain that it was no use giving them water if they weren’t going to drink it - the aim was just to get them drinking enough of whatever fluid.

Are you a Trump Supporter Rosecarmel as you seem to be mimicking his hissy fits
I never realised GN was anti American but I have seen lots of anti Trump posts, is that where this has come from? also lots of anti chlorinated chicken etc etc have you wrongly interpreted these fears and dislikes as ‘anti American’ maybe?

Just take things easy getting so angry isn’t good it will only escalate into bad feeling All round by all means tackle any anti Americanism if it’s just that but if it’s about a particular thing like telling us how to make a cup of tea don’t generalise it into a full on war

Surely this video is a wind up? She said, again.
Rose Carmel has overreacted a tad (understatement of the day) but to be fair there is quite a lot of “awful American expression”. “It’s something that’s come from America, I suppose “ comments on GN.
Should I duck ?

This is surely meant to be a joke, albeit a very silly one. Presumably she’s just after YouTube hits, which is why I’m not going to watch the egg one - the tea was enough!

I’m tempted to make a rejoinder about American restaurant/cafe tea, which I was only daft enough to order once.
Put some vaguely hot water in a cup and serve to the customer with a teabag on the side. ?

You have no idea how much you collectively sound like white supremacist Donald Trump-

FarNorth I think elderly people in care homes in general must have some kind of sugar deprivation syndrome, so many of them put pounds of sugar in their tea and love the most nauseatingly sweet and sickly cakes! Memories of childhood sweet treats?
