    Hi Greeno, that looked like a great breakfast. At first I thought the Greeno Eats hoodie might be a little corny, but no... I like it! 😊

    Great service always seems to elevate the taste of the food. I don't know how you managed to eat both, they looked so filling. That portion of the porrige looked huge. The prices were really reasonable, as it would keep you full all day without needing a lunch. Looking forward to more reviews in Manchester, you have made me hungry now looking at that.

    Tarting up old favourites is the way the eateries are going. No standard of serving Eggs benedict on a quality farmhouse white or wholemeal loaf, has to be sourdough which IMO is not the best way to serve it. Then you have the porridge, adding fruits to the dish was started as some hated the taste of oatmeal. Plain porridge with a good dose of salt is enough.
    Fancy places have fancy food and charge fancy prices. Your reviews have got you used to them, and have conditioned you for the variations and prices. Your review was well done, and all applause for rating the staff as excellent. Would be good to see you in a hidden away gem, that serves plain food well. at a fraction of the price.

    Everything looked really attractive. I've never been a fan of oatmeal made into porridge - the texture and I have issues. But it does look like they've been very creative.
    It's interesting to see how differently a dish like Eggs Benedict appears in different places. Here they would be served on the two halves of an English/breakfast muffin, with a thin slice of bacon from the pork loin under each egg, and a fairly substantial dollop of hollandaise over each. There are many variations, but they're usually given different names (though they may appear on the menu under a heading for Benedicts). A place might do a Crab Benedict, substituting a crab cake for the bacon slice, or a Florentine Benedict using spinach and some cheese instead of bacon. But if you just order Eggs Benedict, the default is the muffin, the Canadian loin bacon, the egg, and the hollandaise. Some places get creative with the bread portion of their variations, but seldom with the OG.
    Just in case you ever pop over here, that's the usual drill. FYI. 😂

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  7 днів тому +2

      A very popular Benedict dish here is with smoked salmon, which is delicious. It is more traditional to have it here with the English muffin too - sliced in half, each half holding an egg. With the Hollandaise it always feels luxurious as a breakfast to me :-)

    One of the great delights in life is watching you score what the Irish might call "plenty of feeding". The consistency of eggs will always be controversial (semi-solid can work for some) but on the eggs Benedict the yolk fusing with the Hollandaise should be a feature and consequently you were fair. The porridge looked absolutely delicious too.

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  5 днів тому

      the porridge was absolutely delicious - whoever would have though that I would spend 4-5 mins waxing lyrical about a bowl of porridge! You are right about the eggs of course - for a benedict you need the runniest of eggs, while the white is perfect cooked through. I'd say the first egg was maybe 30 seconds too long in the pan.

    Morning Greeno, Eggs Benediction on toast 😮. OK each to their own, but it really should be a muffin. Other options are not available, EB's are a one off. All the rest are versions, but in their own right. That said, yours looked fabulous. Bacon was cooked to perfection But why, oh why Sourdough 😭😱. On now to Goldielocks favourite ( not forgetting the three bears choice as well 🐻🥣😊) WOW wot a bloomin' big bowl, Full of surprises.. The Kilt wearing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 wouldn't recognise it as the stuff that put hair in on yer chest and the toss of yer caber. Och eye👁️‍🗨️Going, as we have to on your own comments. Seemed a winning winter warmer. Well just back from a few days away, and trying some different breakfasts. Light tasty fruit and yoghurt ect ect. Next time I find myself in Manchester " I'd give it a go" think I've heard that before 😂😂 The cost was very pleasantly surprising. Good value for money. See you on another " Away Day " soon Allan&Family

      Hi Allan - glad you had a nice few days away.
      This was a pleasing breakfast - both in terms of the quality and value of the food, but also the extremely friendly service, which makes a world of difference!
      Eggs Benedict on sourdough is indeed a twist which may be unneccesary, but as the sourdough was toasted to perfection it was enjoyable. The bacon was the star on that plate though.
      The porridge was something else - huge portion, great flavours and well balanced. That and a coffee would have been a very adequate breakfast in itself!!

    Well i never thought I'd be happy to wake up with Greeno on a Sunday morning! I usually have to compete with Laura Kuensburg looking more sour than those cherries on a Sunday morning.
    Good to see you tackling something else for brekkie compared to what everyone usually has. Mrs Street likes poached eggs with spinanch and avocado on sourdough. She always has to make me feel like a fattie.
    While i was happy with the 3 points i think the Cherries had every right to be sour yesterday. Dodgy penalty. Hit the woodwork twice and had a very tight offside goal chalked off.
    Based on looks I'd go for a 4.5 on the brekkie. Mainly cos hazelnuts are the only nuts i can live without 🤔 thanks for the Sunday morning treat.

    • @GreenoEats
      @GreenoEats  7 днів тому

      We were fuming in the ground yesterday - very poor officiating all game. Mostly (although not all) against us. The penalty, I can see why it was given at first glance, but no clue how VAR didn't rule he tripped over his own feet! MacAllister could (and probably should) have had a second yellow when he booted Brooks. One of those days - a game v Liverpool is kind of a free hit. Time to focus on beating Southampton away next :-)
