I really like the gay blokes. They are funny and quite observant, but don't seem obsessed with winning. They also seem to have a really good relationship.
Donna I can't take to at all. I noticed that when Darren asked for the eggs royale, he pronounced it royal, and she corrected him immediately, not by repeating the word with its French pronunciation, but by actually correcting him to tell him he'd got it wrong. Not very tactfully done, and he did notice it. I think hers was probably the best, all things considered, though a bit too expensive, but I really don't like her. |

Just a thought about people who want veggie food which replicates cadaver and meat products: they are meat-eaters who are trying to cut down on their meat consumption for health reasons. Most of Linda McCartney's food is geared towards people in this category and if it helps them cope then why not.
To be honest I dont eat processed food anyway even as a meat eater, no sausages or burgers. However, I do make my own veggie patties, and veggie fingers which I tend to add some fish on the side. I can see it both ways. BUT I think she was way over the top going on about veggie sausages and when she was offered them and cooked for her, she complained as she said they were NOT veggie sausages which is a nonsense. Thats when she got on my nerves to be honest. Nothing was going to appease her. Not quite sure what kind of veggie sausage she wanted. There is no other sausage then a meat one in my eyes anyway. Veggie fingers yes. |

Its just eggs Benedict with a posh name.
HOWEVER, this is still not classed as Eggs Royale as like Benedict the meat goes on the muffin then the egg and sauce, as per the salmon. So I stand corrected. But it is still POSH eggs benedict. |

I think when Donna complained about the 'vegetarian sausage' she'd actually been served potato and pea slices, or fingers as they might be called. So although she's got on my nerves, I don't think she was wrong there. |

Old fart and old fart's wife are like their place - old and farty. The gay blokes are lovely, they have a good B&B and seem very fair. Ray needs to sort out his B&B. It's not very nice but he's quite a pleasant, polite and amiable sort of bloke. Donna is a bit of a sour, grumpy woman but her B&B is lovely.
For me, it's Donna's or the gay blokes place to win. I hope the silent assasins dont win. I like the 2 gay guys they have been fair all through. They are my favorites to win EVEN though I wouldn't personally stay there. I agree about Ray, I found him polite and respectful even a tad delusional but he did say on film his place the rooms need refurbishing and were next, so he did know they were not to standard. I agree with someone who said he should have got the rooms done first. Perhaps he should have waited until the place was ready before venturing into 4inabed. I am hoping his experience on this show helps him move forward with his place. He seemed to have the knowledge its just putting it down to practice. For me, the game players were swallow. |

Not aiming for any kind of tact. We remarked on it too.

So although she's got on my nerves, I don't think she was wrong there. I prefer vegetable fingers, as I cant tolerate lagumes or nuts in my diet and I make my own as i use gluten free breadcrumbs. I just think she was being rude and nick picking. Quite honestly it is no wonder why vegetarians get a hard press. JEEZ who wants to eat this rubbish anyway. This is the ingredients for a Meat Free Lincolnshire Style Sausages from TESCO. ////////////////////////////////////////////////// Vegetarian sausages made from rehydrated soya protein and onion, with a Lincolnshire sausage style seasoning.

I couldnt eat them because they have Soya in them and gluten. There is nothing in them worth eating lol. Bleurgh.... LINDA MCCARTNEY SAUSAGES.

If I ordered Eggs Benedict, with or without the Posh, and it came with smoked salmon, I'd send it back as not what I'd asked for.

Smoked salmon isn't exactly high-end in these days of farmed fish.
![]() Now - eggs beluga caviar - there's posh! (I expect Karen and Mike from last week have it every day!)

From Wiki:
Eggs Benedict is an American breakfast or brunch dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham, bacon or Canadian bacon; poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. Eggs Blackstone substitutes streaky bacon for the ham and adds a tomato slice. Eggs Blanchard substitutes Béchamel sauce for Hollandaise. Eggs Florentine substitutes spinach for the ham or adds it underneath. Older versions of eggs Florentine add spinach to poached or shirred eggs. Shirred eggs, also known as baked eggs Eggs Mornay substitutes Mornay (cheese) sauce for the Hollandaise. Eggs Atlantic, eggs Hemingway, or eggs Copenhagen (also known as eggs Royale and eggs Montreal in New Zealand) substitutes salmon (or smoked salmon) for the ham. This is a common variation found in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. This is also known as "eggs Benjamin" in a few restaurants in Canada. Huevos Benedictos substitutes either sliced avocado or Mexican chorizo for the ham, and is topped with both a salsa (such as salsa roja or salsa brava) and hollandaise sauce. Eggs Hussarde substitutes Holland rusks for the English muffin and adds Bordelaise sauce. Irish Benedict replaces the ham with corned beef or Irish bacon. Dutch Benedict replaces the ham or bacon with scrapple. Popular in the eastern region of Pennsylvania. Eggs Hebridean replaces the ham with black pudding, often from Stornoway. Eggs Cochon, a variation from New Orleans restaurants which replaces the ham with pork "debris" (slow roasted pork shredded in its own juices) and the English Muffin with a large buttermilk biscuit. Let's see if any of these ever make an appearance on 4IAB! |

I think that last night's place was very nice even though the rooms did look quite corporate. But then they must be easy to maintain and to keep looking fresh and crisp. I would much rather stay in a room like that, than one that looks like it was decorated by my grandma in the 70's.
Also, the road wouldn't bother me, but then I live on a busy road so I'm used to the noise. Have you noticed that this week all of the room prices were more or less the same, except for Ray's? Speaking of the devil, I found his breakfast behaviour of ordering off the menu just because Donna refused something that she didn't ask for for breakfast absolutely despicable. Really showed him for what he really was. Now Donna strikes me as someone who has worked very hard for a long time to get to where she is now, and at some point she assumed this tough persona, or perhaps she always had it, in order to succeed. I have worked with such people, and they often do not know how to switch it off, so seem quite rude. It's like a personal protection guard in a way, if you know what I mean? Anyway, I much prefer her no-nonsense say it as it is attitude to that of say nothing and just quietly bitch behind people's back. |

To get back on track, The Silverton offer a breakfast/brunch menu to non residents as well as hotel guests, it looks good value. Links are on this page. Handily it explains what each dish is and it features both Eggs Benedict and RoyalE (nod to Donna there) so when you order, there's no doubt what you're going to get. Quote:
Yes SS, but to be fair, if your not vegetarian, thousands of people are not, they havent got a clue. They buy what they assume is Vegetarian Sausages as it says so on the packet. IF they are NOT vegetarian how do they know they are not what is expected?
JEEZ vegetarians eat this rubbish.... There is nothing in them worth eating lol. Bleurgh.... bleurgh.... NOTHING in it....horrible. //////////////////////////////////////////////// There is nothing in either of them. Yes shes said it wasnt a sausage because it had potato/cheese/peas. To be honest I would rather eat that then the rubbish I have copied above lol. x I've got to take issue as well with your comments above. I don't know why you find the need to be so disparaging towards what somevegetarians might choose to eat, even to the lengths of researching and copy and pasting. There are also plenty of meat based products which could be considered to have inferior content. Some people are unaware, some simply don't care and some are on a strict budget and can't mange to spend on anything better. I wouldn't eat either, but when you're catering for others then it isn't all about you is it. I think people should be able to choose their preferences and enjoy what they eat, You said Quote:
I just think she was being rude and nick picking. Quite honestly it is no wonder why vegetarians get a hard press.
and there's no wonder some vegetarians get agitated with some meat eaters' comments is there. Despite the LOLZ it's rude and disrespectful, far more so than Donna's comments.Anyway, it now looks like I'm having a go at you, which I'm not, I'm just tackling what you've said. Same as I also tackled Donna being pernickety with either James or Darren's pronunciation. She has come across as very snippy at times - not nice. Never the less, I agree with her that you should provide what you're describing when you're selling to the public, just as I think you should be respectful of other people's preferences despite your own opinions.
