Bigger one adds fried bread, an extra hash brown, extra egg, black pudding and a big curly cumberland sausage thing instead of 2 standard ones. Price difference? Cos I'm not sure I'd finish it but I'd have to go bigger (kw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, a Full Welsh or Full Scottish breakfast is different to an English one so the Union Jack has no place being on that plate. 1/10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 On 19/09/2022 at 18:12, villa4europe said: those rules in mind... start with the bread, 2 pieces of toast actually toasted and well buttered, 1 piece of fried bread, for me personally 1 fried egg cooked in a clean pan in clean oil sunny side up (i hate cafe fried eggs with the burned bottom), 2 sausages, 3 rashers of back bacon (smoked or unsmoked doesnt bother me) black pudding cut in to slices that enable you to crisp the outside but leave the inside kind of medium rare, chopped mushrooms, 2 hash browns but near overcooked they have to be crispy verging on crunchy or get them out of there (spoons nail the hash browns to be fair to them) beans cooked until the juice has gone and then served on the plate slightly covering 1 piece of the toast and the fried bread and you have to get the bread to bean ratio right no tomato and definitely nothing green brown or tomato sauce doesnt bother me, ill use either Is the correct answer.

It has to be unsmoked back bacon. Ive lived in many countries and the hardest thing to find around the world is bacon that isn't streaky (that and good sausages). When I find proper bacon it's like a god send. Streaky bacon belongs nowhere near a FEB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streaky bacon belongs nowhere near a FEB. Living in Germany I definitley agree, even when they do special "British style bacon" it's shite that's too thin and goes to a crispy brittle waste of time after 30 seconds in the pan As a side I also can't quite work out what they do with their black pudding, not convinced they put oats in, the flavour is OK but it doesn't keep it's disc shape when cooking, it falls apart Sausage I obviously have no problem with (kW) Edited July 8, 2023 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially confused by its full description as a veggie sausage stack. It’s a veggie patty, of veggie not meat. But it was fine, one of those ones where if you didn’t tell someone it was veggie there is no way they’d have questioned it. Certainly significantly better than the reheated Starbucks equivalent which I don’t think any ‘bucks in the country has ever heated one to a point that the middle is warm, without the outside being heat dried to being inedible. They appear to have a basic problem with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
