DIY Bacon Rolls
While I was shopping at Tesco Dingwall, I was suddenly overcome by hunger while passing the bakery section, so I parked up my trolley and headed for the Eatery.
On arrival, there was a slight queue,I took a sharp intake of breath but decided to join it anyway.
I checked to see what was on offer, but was not hungry enough for a full breakfast,
just then a lady approached the counter and began replenishing the bacon and sausage recepticles, I said:excuse me, Do you do bacon rolls?
Yes she said, Oh! great I said, I will have one then, and I moved along and started to pour my tea, she then shouted over to me Do you want Butter or Margarine?, Oh! Margarine please I replied,by this time I arrived at the till and told the operator that I was having a bacon roll,which the other lady was preparing, and she charged me accordingly.
I looked back over the counter to see where my bacon roll was and the lady approached me with a large plate with two small rashers of bacon in the middle, and another large plate with a roll on it , not cut and no butter or margarine on it . What!!!
I went to the table and checked to confirm I was right, yep just a bare old roll,
I rushed up to the cuttlery area and got a knife and butter and returned to the DIY roll, I feared by now that the two bacon rashers would have undergone a severe cooling process, exposed on such a large plate, I quickly cut and buttered the roll and placed the rashers in, and took a bite, Your right, stone cold.
What are the chances of that, I sat back and started to laugh out loud, good old Tesco,at least they are consistent.
I enjoyed the roll and the tea was acceptable.I returned to the shopping thinking to myself, this is worth a blog entry.

I have not looked at the blog for some time but felt compelled to click the link today... I was glad I did as the bacon roll saga was highly amusing. What can be simpler than making a bacon roll, I believe I was allowed to make my own at about 7 or 8 years old, yet Tesco staff seem unable to construct this simple snack! Merde! Merde I say to Tesco's Cafe. MERDE! Do you hear my cry TESCO!!! MERDE!!!
Bloody Tesco! Bloody Tesco and their shit cafe, there, I've said it.
I seem to remember going through a similar ordeal in Tesco Dingwall, I can't quite remember who was with me. On asking for a sausage roll the young lady behind the counter looked like a wabbit caught in the headlights. At first I thought she was confused because it sounded like I wanted a sausage-roll rather than a saugsage in a roll. She eventually managed to gesture towards a reseptacle that held the rolls and I worked out that I had to get them myself! and also help myself to the sausages.
Good grief!
I was with you at the sausage on a roll fiasco. I was sitting down scoffing a breakfast while the subnormal serving girl was pointing at the roll depository and making noises. I was embarrassed for you and the idiot girl. The whole situation was even more ridiculous as we were the only customers. It was quite sad really.
My work canteen does sausage & bacon rolls in the morning. The smell of bacon is sooo iresistable. Sometimes though you get a really salty bit which makes you thirsty for hours though...
given the dearth of photos and specific information, I have come to the conclusion that toastboy, paul milk and plum tomato are simply alter-egos of the same person (which, don't get me wrong, is fascinating.) You (singular) might be interested to know that Pinky Diablo's Texas breakfast consisted of an omlette made of farm fresh eggs, little chunks of what we call Ekrich sausage, a chopped tomato, cheddar cheese, and a chopped jalepeno. Sorry, no tea. Coffee.Eaten on the patio with our bottle-fed miniature Zebu calf, Birdie.
