The Paupered Chef Every time I've eaten a form of pan fried egg-coated bread, it's been sweetened—that is, your basic French toast. It never occurred to me that a unsweetened version could be just as tasty until I read about Blake Royer's discovery of eggy bread on The Paupered Chef.

We're not the only ones, are we?...

Sometimes two slices of toast on a plate can look pretty dull and unappetizing, but imagine if you could jazz up this boring breakfast staple with a cool picture or a sweet note to your significant other—that would be pretty neat, right?

Since this thing can print literally anything, the possibilities are endless. The toaster is still in the design phase (it was a finalist in the 2008 Electrolux Design Lab competition), but if it ever makes it to a store near me, I'm...

19 year-old Dayne Gilbey of Coventry, Wales volunteered to let tattoo artist Blake Dickinson ink his skull with the image of a full English breakfast: "bacon, eggs, sausages, beans and even cutlery." Frankly, I'd be amazed by Gilbey's foolhardiness except that I'm too busy appalled by how ugly that tattoo turned out to be, especially when you consider how pretty the photo of an English breakfast that ran with Graham Holliday's In Defence of British Food feature today is! What do you make of it?...
