The Perfect Full English

Jints

This has made me realise I haven't had a full English since before Lockdown 1. Need to rectify that soon. A posh one at Hawksmoor or a classic greasy spoon one at the Regency...?

Mushrooms and tomatoes...  No 

Double sausage,triple bacon, fried egg,black pudding,fried slice(2 if you want) 

Bread and butter (white bread )

2 big mugs of tea 

Alternative 

Stewed kidneys on at least 2 slices of fried  bread with as much bread and butter as you want plus tea as above 

All of you this is the law,the 11th commandment any wrongdoers are sentenced to a life of special k and muesli 

Stewed kidney?!. WTF is wrong with you?!

No, we'll just eat more fish

We never have a fry up at home. The pleasure of a full English is reserved for hotels.

Fish will be off the breakfast menu due to not quite taking back control. 
Unless you develop a taste for stickleback.

We buy Braughing Sausages from Tesco. They may not be available elsewhere as they are a Hertfordshire sausage, but they are delicious. If you spot them, give them a go.

Hallelujah!

The Braughing is the King of the Sausage World. 

We live quite close to the village and discovered them some years ago.  The butcher (Doug White) has now moved to Newmarket, but all the local farm shops still stock Braughings.  Once you've tried them, there is no turning back.

We actually run an illicit trade with packs traversing the Herts borders on a regular basis.  In fact there is a consignment heading to my brother-in-law in Maidstone on Monday.

"You'll never take me alive, Copper!"

Love The Fleece in Braughing, Dave.  We go there a few times a year

Give it a go - a bit of a revelation...

Had never ever heard of kedgeree until I see it on this thread.

Remember going to a Denny’s in Vegas for breakfast, and I ordered two sides of hash browns with it. 

The waitress asked if I was sure and I said yes. 

Now I was expecting two hash browns like you get at McDonald’s but each one was a full plate of shredded potatoes. The waitress gave me a ‘I tried to warn you’ look as she served it to me.

Love the breakfast potatoes with onions and peppers you get in western states / Texas in the US

Yea I remember wondering what the grated potatoe was on my plate in Florida many years ago. One thing I could add to my full english that the Americans do is corn beef hash.

I'll never forget having my breakfast in the bellagio at 8.30 am and watching some chap next to me pouring maple syrup over his fried chicken legs. Strange.

Not as classy as The Bellagio, but the only decent breakfast in New York New York was the 24 hour Chinese. The full on spare rib / sweet and sour pork ball / egg fried rice breakfast experience was remarkably enjoyable.

Now that this thread has strayed into the world of alternative breakfasts, I can reveal that ...

... we were so poor in our house when I was growing up that, for breakfast, we had ... Ordinary K.

Ah, The Fleece.

Streets ahead of the Axe and Compasses.

We must be neighbours?

Full English requires the following:

All meat from the local butcher, with pork from farms within 10 miles of shop.

Fried using lard, no oil allowed.

Lincolnshire sausage x2

Dry cure shortback bacon x2

Free Range fried eggs x2

Local butchers black pudding.

2 slices of white bread from village bakery. 1 toasted spread with hand churned butter, 1 slice fried.

Grilled tomatoes

Fried Mushrooms

Bubble and squeak

Cup of Darjeeling, with raw milk no sugar.

Any supermarket sausages are rubbish, no matter what the packet says.

Love a full English though usually I have it for my tea rather than in the morning because I don’t usually feel in the mood for food early on. Obviously I have to veganise it so use Richmond’s meat free sausages, This Isn’t Bacon bacon (made from soya protein), tinned plum tomatoes, mushrooms cooked in vegan butter, tofu scramble for the eggy part of it and beans done in the consistency of those left to fester under a heat lamp in a service station for a few hours. Three slices of whole grain toast, one slice with Marmite on. All drizzled with a bit of HP. Bloomin’ lovely.

Can you stop with this Tea lark.
Its Dinner

Egg, sausage bacon, tinned tomatoes and CHIPS

No, it goes breakfast, dinner, tea. That’s just the way it is.

Why do you think they’re called dinner ladies?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, except on a Sunday, when it breakfast, dinner and tea.

Regional variations are fascinating...

Lunch and dinner is the same thing, it just depends whether your class is middle or working.
