I caught Jean looking this up on the internet last night so we could try before we go on Henning's meet up . Better safe than sorry !
German Eggs
Description:
This is a wonderfully light, very fluffy egg dish with mass appeal and lovely presentation. Level of difficulty: None.
Very omelet like but a more lovely presentation and also, like omelets, a million different versions.

Ingredients:
1 Dozen Eggs
1 lb. of Monterey Jack Cheese (you can alter this with sharp cheddar as well)
2 cups of cottage cheese
1/4 cup of flour
1 tsp. of baking powder
stick of butter (if you like it, you can saute 1/2 an onion in the butter and add it as well. Omit if you dislike onions.)
Spices that you enjoy that can be used effectively with egg dishes.
At Cumberland Falls B+B uses all of the following in different permutations of this egg dish: sage, thyme, lemon pepper, garlic, tarragon.
If you choose to do this, you can also put very small cubes of cream cheese throughout this egg. It is a different taste and very delicious.

Directions:
Break one dozen eggs into a bowl. Beat thoroughly.
Add the flour, baking powder and the spices that you have chosen for this prep.

In fifty eight years that is the first time I have heard anyone describe my surname as " beautiful " Ken but I tend to agree with Tinderella on this one . Unfortunately just like diarrhoea my surname runs in the family Boom! Boom!

Henning - "these stones are a bit uncomfortable. You'd think that after climbing this mountain for hours on end they'd provide softer stones"
Dave - "my stone is rock hard! My piles are killing me. "
Ken (quietly thinking) - 'It's a good job I reached the summit first. I've bagged the softest stone. In fact it's so soft I could sit here and drift off to sleep. In fact I think I'm drifting off now. I wish Henning and Dave would stop bloody moaning...they're spoiling the moment'
Henning - "the more I sit on this stone the harder it gets"
Dave - "My piles are killing me."
Henning - " Why don't you stand up then, Dave?"
Dave - "My legs are killing me."
John - "I'm glad I bagged the high-backed stone. My back is killing me"
Henning -"I think I'm getting piles now"
Joe - "It's a lovely view from here"
Ken - 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'

well done your version is far funnier than the truth, which was Henning was talking about his football team The Borussia Dortmund Millionaires , hence my catatonic state and Dave's look of misery is down to the fact that he unfortunately supports Liverpool FC.

Ken... Henning was going on about his football team to me too when I fell down the mountain, I must have drifted into that catatonic state too :)

I don't know how you Dubs define diarrhorea but 'liptrot' sounds to me the very opposite of diarrhorea.
Say it slowly and often and it just sounds like a cascade of very firm and healthy stools hitting the water in the toilet bowl...............

.........liptrot, liptrot, liptrot, liptrot, liptrot, liptrot,liptrot, liptrot....ooh I feel better for that:-) if you look closely at the coat of arms below I think someone got there before us with this theory.

BTW I think the reason for Philip's change of name might have something to do with the fact that Liptrot is very old Lancashire name.....ta ken (from the where the red rose of Lancashire blooms proudly)

The posts on this thread just get better and better although eight stools hitting the water in one session might be pushing it a bit the sun does not take that long to read even on a saturday . I mean this in the nicest possible way but trust a Lancastrian to talk a load of s...

I've just realised that Henning won't have a clue what we are talking about.

If you have ever been to Germany and have had to use the bathroom you will have noticed what strange toilet bowls they have. Unlike the ones we know, they have a sort of flat shelf, and a somewhat limited pool of water for the waste to be flushed away. Very odd. Apparently the shelf is for Germans to inspect "their business". And it's very common for most Germans to do this. I have been told that some even keep a stick in the bathroom for this very purpose. I've also learnt on my travels that Germans are required to give a poo poo sample in a specialised container as part of a regular doctor's check-up, so the inspection shelf makes it much easier for them to get hold of their deposit.

So no liptrot, plip plop, in German toilets just a gentle smacking sound as the poo poo hits the inspection shelf.

strange German toilet......
