It may not be the most cohesive dish out there, but having just returned from my favourite city Melbourne, the Eggstraordinary eggs & snags ($24) certainly took me back.

I've never cared much for asparagus, roasted or not, which I mainly eat out of obligation. For me, it was all about the spicy chicken harissa sausage, and crumbed crispy soft boiled eggs (the vegetarian equivalent of scotch eggs), with oozy yolks the colour of sunshine.

Both were balanced out by the sweet and zingy freshness of rocket leaves with balsamic and Parmesan shavings, tomato and beetroot purée.
