This is the staple of UK cuisine, consumed 2-3 times a week in every British home. Other nights it is fish and chips without gravy, and as a treat on Fridays, beans on toast. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to try a full English breakfast next Good choice but make sure the baked beans are on the plate, not a separate dish. it should consist of sausages, bacon, fried eggs, black pudding, mushrooms, beans and toast. For me, quality produce over quantity is the key to a good English breakfast! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Im more than happy with hash browns but I like them extra crispy so that's 30+ mins in the oven and that's too long I need to start taking a slice of toast out and adding in a slice of fried bread but I usually can't be bothered I'll eat tomatoes if it's a cafe breakfast but don't cook them myself for my own And I go red if there's no tomatoes, brown if there is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I had it before on previous holidays with haggis as well but I was disappointed by the lack of haggis anywhere. I never thought of black pudding making it particularly Scottish, just a bit northern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 In Devon we also have a local variation - hogs pudding. A peppery white pudding type sausage with pork, bread, barley and spices - it’s bloody lovely (and dare I say it, better than black pudding!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Haggis is another one where I just don't have the time, the one you can get in Morrisons is perfectly fine but I think takes an hour in the oven You can microwave it but then from my experience it ruined it Never had bad haggis though, love the stuff and I was the same when I drove around Scotland a few years back its surprising how many places didn't actually offer it, i wouldn't call it common, I'm sure I had at least 4 hotel breakfasts in different parts of the country and none of them had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
