Not quite a soup, not quite a curry, but delicious all the same

Cornish Breakfast

26 05 2009

Spent the weekend in North Cornwall walking, eating out and a spot of surfing. The weather was perfect, but the crowds were far from perfect. Just up the road one of the neighbours keeps chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks. All roaming freely about the back garden They sell the eggs. So I wandered up the road first thing, picked up a few duck eggs, then served them up boiled with toast and asparagus soldiers in the garden. The perfect start to a Sunday.
