Even though Noah has never allowed us to sample his culinary brunch expertise, we are going to review his image anyway.\r\n\r\nObviously scoring maximum points on value for money (five points for free, one point for anything so expensive we leave) as it's home cooked, it was all to play for with the remaining scores on the doors.\r\n\r\nAvocado and poached eggs on toast is certainly quite hipster, and excellent use of cracked black pepper to give a little fire to the dish. We are more than a little disappointed on the fairly standard plate choice; we were thinking Noah would at least serve brunch on an upturned dustbin lid or something.\r\n\r\nThe brunch itself sat on the plate nicely, and looked appealing. The avocado looked well-smashed, and spread on the toast evenly. However, the poached eggs looked to be a little tatty - a real shame, as this was close to a four star dish!\r\n\r\nTaste-wise, the jury is out (mainly because Noah abjectly refuses to cook for us, something about \"not being our butler\") - however the simplicity of the dish lead us to believe that not even Noah with his limited culinary knowledge (\"What is a 'ladle'?\" has been asked on at least one occasion) could screw this one up!<\/span>\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The benchmark for all following breakfasts is this fine effort from one of our reviewers, Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42\/revisions\/64"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/megson.me\/brunchclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
