The Breakfast Thread

God there are some food perverts on here.

Anyway, best full English breakfast variant I've had was a Cumberland breakfast in a weird grass roofed sustainable visitor centre/café type thing at the Kendal end of the A66 - everything was just right.

If I go for a home made full English it's Lincs sausage, scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, butter/olive oil fried mushrooms, MIXED toms and beans, fried bread and black pudding.

Having said that, my absolute favourite breakfast is smoked haddock and poached eggs to start, followed by a smokey bacon sarnie in toast.

I've had white pudding, I kind of thought it was a Scottish thing
Not as good as black pudding, but I'm unable to comment on it's similarity to the arsehole of a tramp

Nibbles Sunday teatime in my pub was white and black pudding and haggis, white always last to go, but it went.

Don't apply a no touch rule at all. It's every item for itself on my plate.

Nothing should be eaten separately.

Combos of two, three or even four items at a time are a necessity.

There are many.

For example, fork up beans and bacon in a ratio of two to one for a chewy savory sensation with a slightly sweet undertone. Sweeten further with a measure of tinned tomato.

Add a sliver of fried egg white for a quadruple item combo as above but with a hint of metallic aftertaste.

And so on...


The combinations, whilst not infinite, should keep you going for the whole breakfast without hesitation, deviation or repetition.


However whilst a plated free for all is acceptable, indeed to be encouraged, twatting about unnecessarily is most definitely not.


Here is a no-no of the highest order:

Oh, and tea. Several mugs of it, strong and sweet and hot.

It should be drunk between mouthfuls of food and never be in the mouth at the same time as the food.






Other than that, I'm easy really.

What the **** is that?
 
There's some wrong 'un's on this thread, (beans and toms? tinned toms? tomato gravy? chillies in scrambled eggs? not on my watch, Buster).

The definitive Full English:

Eggs (fried or scrambled, both acceptable).
Bacon (I prefer streaky and cured - not smoked, though back bacon is also fine, just so long as it's not covered in white blobs of salty water).
Black pudding (separates the men from the boys).
Sausage (I agree with the general consensus that a good breakfast can be ruined by a cheap sausage. Lincolnshire my personal favourite, though generally not fussed just so long as they're quality).
Tomatoes (cut in half and grilled - never tinned).*
Mushrooms (grilled or fried, button or flat, either is welcome on my plate).
Toast, muffin or bagel.
HP sauce (not ketchup).
Mug of tea.

*I will accept baked beans if there are no tomatoes. But if it is beans they must never be placed next to the eggs. Obviously.

Tinned tomatoes are significantly superior to Boring fried Tom's. They are ace with the toast/fried bread. Soggy tomatoey deliciousness. What the cock do you do with fried tomato?

Bagel? Which part of "English" breakfast did you not get?

Back to Fez. Spam is ****ing disgusting cooked. I almost divorced the wife for her penchant for spam fritters.

When I was A wet behind the ears youth the gaffer used to send me to the shops for the bacon/sausage sarnies.
One greedy ****er used to ask for two tomato dipped.
Two bread cakes dipped in the fat off the bacon/sausages and then dipped in tomato. So he just paid for the bread cakes.

Not thought of that for thirty years.

Used to get "bacon and tom" and an extra "best cake" from Pop Ins Café back of Oxford Street off Wincolmlee. You could make a second sarnie with the extra best buttered cake.

True story.
 
Just a thought, for a quick fry up, no toms, but a small tin of Heinz beans and diddy sausages - what's not to like ...
