Bacon, well cooked/borderline burnt. Good quality sausages. Eggs either fried or scrabmled. If fried, yolks to be firm. wtf?  |

I have to say that the best breakfast I ever had was in Jamaica
Akee and salt fish, dumplings, plantain and god knows what else. Filled me up all day. Without doubt more stodge than a full monty and you could probably cut cane all day in the hot sun without needing to stop at 11 for a full monty! of course drinking red stripe helps. |

Greek breakfast...
20 B&H and a Frappe. Black pudding... varies greatly. Best for me atm is M&S black pudding, 4 slices around £1.25 |

Anyone like daddies sauce? That's my brown sauce choice. I will add, baked beans (which I like, Branston only for me) have no place on a full English because I hate the mix with beans and a runny egg...even if poshly served in a separate bowl.

This thread appears to be about "Essential Components for a FULL ENGLISH"
So What possesses folks to post stuff about Greek or Jamaican breakfasts is beyond me. Is this an attempt to show off, pretend to be rich or posh or merely a wish to appear superior to other posters. I know not  What I do know is that these posts have no place, and little to add to a fred about a FULL ENGLISH Breakfast. |

I tried the Sausage Patties recently ... far superior to actual Sausages
 though cost a bit more & only 6 in a pack .so for me: 2 x SAUSAGE PATTIES 3 x smoked back bacon egg (can't cook a breakfast without one) Beans (are a Must) Mushrooms (cover with bit of butter) Fried Tomato (never forget the sizzling tomato) Hash Browns (just bought some actually McCann are the best but far overpriced for small bag) Fried bread (do it last to get all the juice out of the pan) Brown sauce (prefer HP it's stronger) MILK (to swig it all down with) followed by a nice Cup of Tea ! |

Beans have no place on the plate. There is a danger of egg contamination. They are acceptable only in a small ramekin.
Two fried eggs. Similarly tinned tomatoes should remain in the tin. Fresh toms only please. Soda farls is a good call. Must remember that one. Sausage and bacon only from a good local butcher - otherwise you will be eating carp. Mushrooms should be sliced and cooked in fat from sausage and bacon. Hash browns have no place in an ENGLISH breakfast. The frozen ones are ****. I don't mind proper ones (cubed or grated potatoes) but only ever had them in the U.S. (not bragging blackbarn!) Plenty of freshly toasted (ideally low GI) bread with proper butter. |

i worked alongside some Polish people, they thought we were mad
when they saw the full english breakfast. especially when brown sauce was produced. got them laughing at it? |
|
By:
Irish potato bread is pretty good with a fried breakfast. Surprised it isn't more popular outside Ireland. I'm also partial to fried salami with my 'English' breakfast.
And for those who want to explore new breakfast meats, liverwurst on rye toast is good. |

Eggs either fried or scrambled. If fried, yolks to be firm. He may as well of said Halibut, or is it Jehovah. Whichever, Stone Him. 4 x smoked bacon, streaky. 1 x quality sausage, pre poached (8 mins for a fat one) then fried to char. 2 x fried eggs, RUNNY yolks. 2 x flat mushrooms 1 x portion of beans, as mentioned Branston (with additional tabasco sauce) - Toms fully acceptable for others but I'm allergic to the seeds and skins (love the taste though). 1 x fried white slice 2 x toast and proper butter 1, 2 or occasionally 3 sploshes of rosie. Jobs a goodun. 1 x fried slice |

What a delight to read - a 'proper' Chit Chat thread, like the old days!
Absolutely bostin' fun seeing people getting so irked by the yays and nays of what's acceptable practice to put on breakfast plate! Crackin' stuff! |
|
By:
Egg yolks should be liquid, if they happen to run into the baked bean sauce then its no big deal.
Important for me though is that toast should not be cut into fcking triangles. How am i meant to make a spur of the moment sausage sandwich out of triangular toast? Its not mathematically possible. |

By:
Yeah I don't like bullit eggs!

certainly there is something very unbritish about an obsession with food.
I first stated to notice this perhaps in the 80s when in work people started to talk about what they had to eat the previous day. There was something odd about that. |

My cafe of choice does a brilliant breakfast.
I have it in 3 stages - a three course breakfast. Bacon and Egg with toast and butter Sausage, black pud, mushroom and tomato with toast and butter Backed beans (from the ramekin) on toast. £7.95 including pot of tea. All top quality ingredients. |

remember going to hotel with my brother
waiter asked which breakfast - english or continental I said continental sounds good watch my brother eat English breakfast all the trimmings I had two slices of toast , jam an coffee |

Can all you 'continentals' respectfully start your own thread. As far as I'm concerned a FULL ENGLISH is known, and indeed available, all over the world. So please take your croissants, plantains, liverwurst and haggis to where they belong!

Full English is the finest hangover cure on earth, I have been known to eat two of em when feeling particularly grim, back in the day.

A full English is not available all over the world.
In Scotland its a full Scottish. |

Pedants are also freely available, as 'lovegod' has proven.

We were up in Edinburgh a few years ago and asked for a full English only to be corrected very promptly that is was a full Scottish breakfast they served.

I've never had black pudding or fried bread but am willing to give it a go. Never heard of a square sausage either.
A fry up is great after a big night. |

The best place for me to get a breakfast is in fact a Portuguese cafe/restaurant in West Norwood. This morning I had two runny poached eggs on granary toast, 3 rashers of crispy streaky bacon, mushrooms, beans and a mug of strong tea all for £4.95. I'd give it a very solid 9/10 with the thumb.

None of these of course are worthy of a good English breakfast .. sounds more like part of the elite's Population reduction plan & i'd personally blow a guys head off that puts Liver anywhere near my plate!

"Can all you 'continentals' respectfully start your own thread. As far as I'm concerned a FULL ENGLISH is known, and indeed available, all over the world. So please take your croissants, plantains, liverwurst and haggis to where they belong! Wink" Excellent, Cooperman! For fried bread aficionados: You can buy pork dripping to fry your fried bread in, seeing as there's rarely enough fat that comes off grilled/fried bacon to make fried bread these days. Well, in Stoke you can. There's an excellent local pork butchers - Brown's (est. 1875) - who trade in Hanley Market. They sell tubs of pork dripping (with the pork jelly underneath the fat), which is perfect for multiple fried bread scoffings. Although it's not listed on their price list, if you give them a ring I'm sure they'd tell you how much it costs plus p+p. http://www.brownsofhanley.co.uk/pricing.html |
