They mentioned their "famous" Olympic Brekkie. Looking at it, if they'd invested in ramekins, thy might still be trading. Due to my health issues the only items on that plate that I could taste is the beans. I don’t eat any of the other stuff now. Breaks my **** heart. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if you've ever (middle class siren) made a potato rosti with your left over roasties, and had that with your breakfast, that is a game changer. Some diced onion, bit of garlic, couple of runny eggs too, get in me you dirty bastard (kw) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon, sausage, tomatoes, hash brown (not chips), possibly an egg, but would have to be boiled. I'm in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 My take on this if I could wield the ultimate breakfast sausages - Lashfords, there is no better sausage, they literally just make those they’re that good. bacon - always smoked, and both streaky and back bacon (2 of each) potato Rosti - none of this American has brown nonsense, grate and season potato and crisp it up in the pan using the bacon fat eggs - good quality eggs, fried for traditional or if going fancy do poached. Scrambled if you can be arsed. mushrooms - I don’t like them but when I cook them for others, good amount of butter and fry them off in the pan tomatoes - seasoned and grilled, dash of lea and perins on top for some caramelisation fried bread - soak up the bacon fat if you have any left over from the rosti or just make some fresh. toast - at least two slices per person beans - again not traditional but a modern stamp, expected and delivered. black pudding - if you’re going big it has to be added. One portion rogue items - if you want to add even more but go rogue, add frankfurter sliced sausages to the beans to smoke them with some lea and perins, or if you want to be really rebellious, try grilling cheese on the fried bread. pot of tea to wash it down. At least two mugs required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) A bit late to the party but the reason why Little Chef closed is that they were utterly crap, and as soon as there were other options to eat they went out of business. Don't understand this nostalgia to the place. Staffed by spotty teenagers who couldn't cook and served up plates of grease. Dreadful.

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I like to add a bit of Chorizo to my fry up. Chopped up and fried off. Mix it in with the mushrooms and beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell these in all the cafes around here (Shirley) and loads of people rave about them. Can’t say I’m that impressed. For me, the best place for sausages is Don Guest butchers in Halesowen. These are incredible, a variety of different flavours as well. The chilli and Garlic ones are immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 3 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3 Actually let's hear it for the minimalist version - bacon and eggs (plus toast and tea/coffee). EBL (English Breakfast Lite) as I call it. Sometimes it's all you need. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
