    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. 
    Denny’s is great. Went a few times when I was in Florida. They certainly do put a lot on the plate. I found myself having breakfast and then not eating again all day.

    bubble and squeak instead of the hashbrowns, no black pudding and a few more tomatoes and that opening picture is about right - maybe another egg or 1 less sausage to get the proportions right

    Found a great place today down in Exeter, Brody's Breakfast Bistro.

    Basically all you can eat on a full English and also pancakes and waffles, plus a juice bar.

    Really good quality sausages, black pudding, bread etc.

    Went for lunch more than breakfast so while I loved the all day breakfast, the kids were happy tucking into waffles & toppings etc.

    Anyone that has chips with a breakfast needs to be shot between the eyes.
    There is one universally agreed exemption to this; the caff fry up when you take the car in for its MOT.

    A perfect fry up would have to have sausage, bacon, egg, beans, mushrooms, hash browns, toast. 

    Other bits can be added, but that’s the spine of your side.

    I like hash browns but I feel like they are an optional.  If a full English came without them I wouldn't think it was that odd, whereas no beans or toast etc would be.

    https://youtu.be/qJryfTK4UnQ Watch how a northerner does with a ginormous breakfast. I’ll translate if needs be. Forward to around the 9m15sec mark to see the monstrosity served up.
    When is the funeral?

    PWR all but the first page, but has anyone mentioned a pint with their fried breakfast? Obviously available in Spoons throughout the Kingdom, but I had a blinder down in Bristol once, the next morning after a 2-1 midweek defeat. Stayed over with a City supporting mate and he took me to a quality cafe the next morning. They had a handpump cider,  but it was a bit too strong, so I went Magners. Great stuff.

    Used to spend a bit of time in Edinburgh - Sunday morning Scottish Breakfast (white pudding, lorne sausage, NO hash browns) and a pint of Guinness...(so not entirely Scottish...)

    Used to be quite a few pubs open for the market workers at Smithfield. Not many open early now. One example is https://www.foxandanchor.com/  still serving full English with a pint. Not sure you will see any market traders, likely too expensive these days.

    I’d genuinely rather have a fresh orange juice with a fry up than a pint. You’ve the rest of the day for all that.

    tea before, OJ with, coffee after (with a pastry)

    I actually work on Charterhouse Street, and that pub is about 200yrds from my office! Have walked past it a couple if times and thought it looked decent, but it's been shut. Will have to pop in at some point. Cheers!
