I'm eating half a quiche lorraine and it's simply divine.
I'm gonna take the other half to work tomorrow in a packed lunch.



Quiche.

Your gonna eat what?





I'm pretty sure that's a very juvenile nickname for a sound that a girl's special no no place makes.





I said vagina.

Once again

Mmmmmmm...

I ate some today, and it was tasty. But I play by the rules. CRAP.

Quiche has a strange reputation as being a wuss food.
Is it just cos of the name? I don't get this reputation.

It's a pie made out of fucking eggs and bacon. This is not a wuss food.

Let's call it egg pie from now on.

My girlfriend makes a quiche with shrimps and dill. I can tell you this is one of the best things in the world. It´s ambrosial...

Quiche can be a great pleasure. Eating too much of it (it basically consists of flour and butter) can cause you excruciating pain.


NOT CRAP!

home-made quiches with nice ingredients are a thing made in heaven.

however, the vast majority of quiches in existence are those insipid, slightly slimy affairs purchased from the local supermarket. usually they are also left to sweat gently for a couple of hours beforehand when part of a company buffet.

CRAP unless made by my mum.

I recently had an awesome quiche with smoked salmon, cream cheese and dill. So great! I will post the recipe here when I can find it.

It's sadly true that most mass-produced quiche is crap. Marks & Spencers, perhaps unsurprisingly, do a good line of quiches.

I may make one tonight. NOT CRAP!

Man, I fucking love quiche.

There is a recipe in Thomas Keller's Bouchon book that is about the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.

Quiche is much, much more interesting than kitsch.

Two things:

a) the pastry is super crumbly and a bit of a bitch to work with before it's cooked, which can lead to:-

b) fissures, collapsing shell walls and leakages when you add the custard

Egg Pie = ANTI-CRAP
