More of my crazy 'semi-domesticated male' stuff again today.
This is especially for Richard Vobes who, like me, is a fan of that great British dish...
THE POACHED EGG!
My late mother taught me how to make a poached egg without using one of those strange egg poacher pans where you have to put fat into the pan to stop the egg from sticking to it. Mum always said that you might as well have a fried egg if you were going to sit it in fat, so here's how to make a no added fat poaced egg.
All you need is a small pan, some water, a splash of malt vinegar and an egg.
All you do is boil some water with a big splash of vinegar in it and crack an egg into a saucer or small bowl, take the pan in one hand, tilt it towards you and gently plop the egg into the side of the pan.
The vinegar holds the egg together, so as it starts to cook you put the pan down and just boil the shell-less egg in the normal way making sure that it does not stick to the pan.
After three minutes or so, just remove the egg, drain the water off it, put it on a piece of toast and eat it.
Survival cooking for men... you can't beat it!
