The Great English breakfast. It is that good isn''t it

1 Jun 2008

Just occasionally the 'works' English breakfast is a blessing bestowed on man by god. My ideal is an Egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and a piece of bread. I'm not keen on beans or anything else. I guess i'm a purist. Accompany this with great coffee and OJ. hey, what more could one ask for on the occasional morning. heaven on a plate. I must say though i'd have to be up for at least 2 hours before eating one.
Mrs Lost however, would rather eat your fruit compot (compot ffs rolleyes

and some funny type breads with jam (jam is for teatime imho not breakfast confused

) Oh yes and tea. To me thats not breakfast thats just weird. Then Mrs lost can also enjoy Sardines on toast :uhoh: loon

Stayed in a gorgeous little hotel in North Wales called Sygun Fawr (fabulous place for a long weekend away from the kids etc) and the menu for breakfast offered Full Welsh Breakfast.
I couldn't see a difference to the English version - but it was delicious and made from local produce.
I love a cooked breakfast and occasionally get served one in bed biggrin

:D:D:D:D:D:D But I really have to be up for a while before I can fully appreciate it.
My ideal daily breakfast is porridge, not too thick and not too runny, no salt (unless going Scottish and having salt only) brown sugar (some underneath, some on top) and a rim of cool milk running round the edge. HEAVEN.

good job i've got bbq to eat now!

Mind you don't break your teeth on the charcoal :shock:
kiss

Love the good ol English breakfast, can't do fried bread tho, or black pud, everything else just sling on the plate!
Not sure whether I would call either of these breakfast tho, cos I have to be up a good couple of hours to enjoy it to it's max, more of a lunch really dunno

1 Jun 2008

Today, for the first time in ages I had a full cooked English breakfast at a transport caff.
Bacon
Mushrooms
Sausages
Fried egg (runny)
Fried bread
Builders tea to wash it all down - am still full up now!
It's not often I have this but when I do it's just fab.
:P

I'm with you Lost, my ideal cooked brekki is Egg, Bacon, Sausage and mushrooms (all grilled of course so the halo doesn't drop :angel: ) and my favourite non cooked brekki is Yoghurt and muesli with OJ and black coffee.

1 Jun 2008

Well we love a good full English. Guests at ours usually get treated to a full English in the morning. Except if MrFB is working - in which case they get a bacon sandwich! lol

Yuk @ muesli!
I usually have a yoghurt and a banana, or Branflakes or Special K.

I rarely eat breakie! If Im away my friend cooks me a lovely one, bless her... with gallons of tea!!!

Hi Lost
I agree with most others.. a Full English has to have Tea with it, not coffee.. having lived out in Scandanavia for a year now I do occasionally miss a good brecky, cos you cant get decent bacon out here.. its the streaky variety that frazzles down to nothing when you cook it. Or Even proper sausages. They're like rocking horse shite here.. few and far between. THe ones they have here are more like hotdog/bratwurst sausages.. and if you do find some real ones they cost a fortune!
Having said all that when I was living back in the UK the only time i used to eat a full brecky was when I was on holiday or visiting my parents anyway, and having been back recently to visit the folks and been pining for a decent slap up for some time, I was kind of disappointed when I finally had one.. it wasnt as good as my memory said it was.. left my mouth feeling like it was full of lard.. weird. You dont think you'll ever adapt to coffee and pastries for breakfast, but you do, given time :shock:

I'm thinking of writing a book at the moment called the kryps anti-diet, and Breakfast is prescribed as medicinal biggrin

the anti-diet works like this, whatever health advisers, nutritionists and Doctors say, do the exact opposite :D
so throw away the rabbit hutch sweepings aka museli, stuff ya 5 portions of fruit and cereal where the sun don't shine and have a hearty breakfast :D It isn't traditional for nothing.
I have 2 fried eggs, 2 bacon (fried, streaky preferably) sausages (the german sort) fried mushrooms, beans and a bucket of tea :D
in the 3 months on this diet I managed to lose 3 stone where as on the docs advice barely lost anything or put some on :shock:
Have a happy breakfast lol

I don't like the B&B, cafe, style full brekkie where there's beans and canned tomatos so the bacon egg and sausage is floating in a kind of revolting reddy brown gravy.
Heaven is two fried eggs over easy, a couple of rashers of bacon, possibly a sausage, and NOTHING ELSE. Surrounded by lots of clean white plate. A little Colmans on the edge. On the side, toast and marmalade. It has to be because marmalade and bacon are together flavours.

:thumbup: couldn't agree more, and the thought of that bacon swimming in all the grease with rind and fat still attached.... :scared:

Reading this at 1am doesn't half make me feel hungry ... smile

I'd like a fried egg, crisp streaky bacon, fried mushrooms and fried tomatoes (fresh, not from a can), and possibly a tasty sausage ... don't need beans ... do like tea, very hot.
And then some wholemeal bread or toast and butter and marmalade ... the marm is crucial, has to taste strongly of orange and not be too sweet, M&S sicilian blood orange marm is my current fave.
Perhaps I'll go and put the kettle on wink
