When we go out on the hoy in London , breakfast is usually at the greasy spoon place on Covent Garden market ... sausage , bacon, eggs , chips ,buttered bread and a mug of tea ( some weird ones have beans with it but let's not talk about them) , it won't win any awards for services to food , but by jolly its just what the doctor ordered to resuscitate you 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 24 minutes ago, Phil Silvers said: What's the maximum number of courses one is aloud at breakfast? If it’s an all you can eat breakfast buffet, such as you’d find at Premier Inn for example, then three courses is the minimum. Something like a full English containing bacon, sausage, fried egg, mushrooms, beans, hash browns and toast. Make a sandwich from the toast to further boost your first course. Second course is a bit more of the cooked stuff that you fancy, followed by a third course of pastries and or muffins. This is the minimum I’d expect, of course the maximum is only limited to your stomach size and whether the manager asks you to leave. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 On the subject of school puddings, we were given a slice of grapefruit with a bit of sugar and a glacè cherry on top. No kids like the sour foulness of grapefruit, so that was pretty cruel. On other days you might get tapioca, or if really lucky chocolate sponge and pink custard.

I always assumed they kept an eye on how long a table had been occupied, I always scoff at top speed so they wont notice. Ps.

Follyfoot Posted June 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2020 What are the views on pie, mash, chilli vinegar and liquor and the ‘double double’ variant. Basically the pies are slightly burnt, the mash generally lumpy, covered in eel juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also known as "French Toast" to those posh nonces (and maybe what they are called elsewhere). Wayland's Yard in town actually do Eggy Crumpets which are particularly good! They are bit posh with Halloumi, chillis and what not, but my stomach doesn't complain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if your school rice pudding came with a blob of optional jam, ours did.. One for the confessions thread: I've never had a school dinner. Not one. At primary school, I lived close enough to go home for lunch. When I went to grammar school, I was a notoriously slow eater, and my Mum was convinced I'd never get enough food down in me in the mad rush of the two-sittings school dinner hall, so I took a packed lunch instead.

sidcow Posted June 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2020 I remember in infant school dinners imagining the horrible main course was poison and the apple crumble was medicine for the poison. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
