The BFG Recipes

Book

The BFG
by Roald Dahl

Follow Sophie into Giant Country to see the BFG’s home and his huge dream library, but be careful to avoid the other, less-friendly giants. Then, return to England with the BFG and Sophie to dine on giant BFG's Breakfast and Frobscottle with the Queen.

Snozzcumber: an icky-poo vegetable that grows in Giant Country. They are half as long as an ordinary man but much thicker - black with white stripes along its length and all covered with coarse knobbles.

Fizzy frobscottle: sweet, juicy, delicious pale green liquid - and the bubbles travel downwards.

Cook

BFG's Breakfast

Complexity: Easy, just prepare potatoes and cook, plus cook other breakfast dishes.
Time: 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Eggs
Butter or margarine
Bacon
Bread
Marmalade
4 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 tablespoon Lawry's seasoned salt
pepper

Directions

Rinse, peel, and dice potatoes. Heat griddle to high heat.
Place oil on the griddle. When warm, add potatoes and seasoned salt. Mix.
Cook potatoes, flipping and stirring frequently, for about 25 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. Potatoes should be soft but have crispy edges.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon according to package directions.
When potatoes are close to done, heat a nonstick pan or griddle to medium-high heat and drop in some butter or margarine (about 1 teaspoon per egg - enough to coat the area where you’ll crack the eggs).
Crack the egg and drop it onto the melted butter.
When the edges of the egg have set, drop about ½ tablespoon of water onto each egg. When the water has evaporated, flip the eggs. When they reach desired doneness, they are ready. Test for doneness by tapping the yolk very gently with a spatula.
Toast your favorite bread, spread with marmalade, and plate everything on one huge plate.
