Slop, slop, slop, egg and slop

Slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, slop, baked beans, slop, slop, slop and slop

(Vikings: Slop! Slop! Slop! Slop! Lovely slop! Lovely slop!)

Or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provençale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and slop
