Cooking UK ala Nothing

Obesity is spreading through the world from the USA, where over 35% of the adult population have been inflicted with Orson Wellesitis. The director of CITIZEN KANE weighed more than 350 pounds or 150 kilos at the time of his death. I once found a black cape with the label MADE FOR MSSR ORSON WELLES at a Nantucket antique shop. It was a circus tent and I blame obesity not only on fast food, but that people don't know how to cook for themselves.

A recent survey revealed that a majority of young Brits haven't a clue to boil an egg.

Directions: boiling water. 3 minutes. Salt and Pepper. Crack open shell. Drippy yoke.

Simple, n'est pas?

1 in 20 Brits thought it took 10 minutes and 15% answered with the standard,"I don't know."

Bangers, bacon, eggs, and fried toast with the fixings seems to be heading the way of the British Empire. At least Italian pasta has overtaken Indian curry as England's favorite dish. EEC rules. Remember Brits on this Jubilee Weekend, you are what you eat.
