As I understand it baked beans are not a thing over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to move back, even if it did mean cheese for breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Only on Villa Talk I have learned so many new technical terms and important things to consider that are critical for a proper English breakfast:- Baked bean juice segregation and how important it is and how it causes degradation of the whole breakfast experience Toast type (granary or white etc? - but never French bread) Fried bread (but never with toast as well) Butter pre loaded or left in a small packet for user to smear on, or in a separate mini dish? Butter viscosity Tomatoes yes or no?, tinned or not?, in a separate dish or combined with the whole breakfast? Black or white pudding? but never both Bacon cooked correctly to the same properties of a plastic rule (i.e. held at one end the bacon should remain horizontal and never droop) Sausages size, shape and black or not on the outside HP or tomato sauce (never both) Fried eggs cooked correctly Mushrooms? (absolutely not) Hash browns? up for debate, essential if no toast or fried bread available Tea or coffee?.....always English breakfast tea Buffet style or not? and is it good form to go up again for second helping? And no salad stuff like cucumber, cress, sprouts or lettuce should make itself present within the confines of the English Breakfast What else have I left off?? You can tell I am slacking at work today VTID Derek 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2022 Absolutely can have fried bread and toast, black and white pudding, HP and ketchup (but have to question why when Fruity exists). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
