Yep, don't know why this is such a 'hot' topic. Just bring it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 - Back bacon, smoked. 2 rashers. Fat lightly crisped, not chewy - Sausages, nicely grilled - Fried egg with runny yolk - Square sausage very option as only likely in Scotland sadly - Fried bread but lightly toasted toast instead if not available -Hash browns - Baked beans - Mushroom optional -Haggis in lieu of black pudding - No fried tomato Accompanied by a lovely mug of breakfast tea, or failing that a good mug of coffee. Haggis and eggs on toast is a regular for me these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have just the been the B&Bs I've stayed at. I cant say I enjoyed having chips for breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the old Birmingham wholesale market where the workers eat. It was something stupid like 6 eggs, 6 raches of bacon, 5 sausages and a mountain of beans, mushrooms and tomatoes. oh, and fried bread. No more food that day Edited September 20, 2022 by Tegis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the burnt toast - I prefer mine very lightly golden. Bacon you can cook in the sun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 As a meal, I think a full English is great, and I’ll happily have the full works, beans on the plate, black pudding, mushrooms, you name it. But there is no way in hell I can eat all that before noon, and then only if I’ve not eaten anything earlier in the morning, by which point it’s for all intents and purposes become a (heavy!) lunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Looks as though I'm alone with preferring bread and butter over toast with a fully. Way better for soaking up the bean/egg juices lol. Oh and a nice sweet cuppa to go with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever that is appears to have been served with a weed from the garden. Weeds have no place in a breakfast even as some sort of window dressing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
