Recipes of 'The Stars' 57:Dirk 'Faceman' Benedict.












This week,legendary ladies man,bon viveur and professional shenanigeniser Dirk Benedict shares with us a traditional recipe from the family vault.Mr B,a convivial host,tells us that this particular recipe is variation of one handed down to him by his grandmother that he has refined with his own subtle style and panache.You will need a pan,lard and some eggs.


Eggs Dirk.

1.Place roughly half a kilo of lard into pan,turn the gas knob all the way to the big flame picture.
2.When the lard 'goes on fire',gently add 2 to 8 eggs,taking care to remove the hard outer "shell".
3.You're 'frying' up them eggs!
4.Remove eggs and serve,perhaps on some bread or a plate.
5.Enjoy!
You are now ready to experience eggs the way 'Benedict' intended!Don't get carried away though...you don't want to end up with egg on your "Face"!

Next week,Nigel Havers shows us how to cook fish-fingers,the halal way.

About Dirk Benedict
Although Tim Dunigan played the part of face in the original pilot, "Mexican Slayride", Dirk Benedict will be forever remembered as pretty-boy con merchant Face. Dirks birth name was Dirk Niewoehner but he changed it on the suggestion of his agent (inspired by a plate of eggs). Some basic information about Dirk is given below:

Born : 1st March 1945.
Place of Birth : Helena, Montana, USA.
Spouses : Toni Hudson (1986-1995).
Children : George and Roland (both by Toni Hudson).

Yeah,I thought about face man,but discarded the idea as too 'facile'.

Ere,interesting that Dirk went for the name 'Roland' for one of his sprogs.Must have been pissed.
