Davkaus Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Xela said: I'll throw this out there - I don't mind a veggie full English every now and again. Bits of it are pretty good these days. If you don't mind cheap sausages, there are loads of veggie ones that hit the spot. The Richmond ones are good, they taste just like I remember the meat ones and probably have the same meat %. I hated black pudding anyway. A Saturday morning with toast, beans, hash browns and sausages, and I'm a happy camper. The bacon is shit though, it all tastes of frazzles, and to go a step further and go for a vegan full English, nobody has come anywhere close to something like a fried egg, so I really miss those two. Whenever discussing veggie breakfasts, I remember a time back when I ate meat, one of my exes ordered the veggie breakfast from a Spoons at an airport years ago, and the server walked over, put down mine with a "here's the breakfast", then turned to her and said "here's your....whatever this thing is". Thanks mate. Bon Appetite to you too. Edited September 21, 2022 by Davkaus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Yeah I'd say no way that's crazy wierd I'd never do that... I once had a curry served in a giant yorkshire pudding it was mad how well it worked Like I said I've yet to find a breakfast I said no to so I'd give it a go, it'd need more beans than what's in that photo to work though Edit - same with the normal breakfast photo, 3 hash Browns, 2 slices of fried bread, that needs a good sized portion of beans Edited September 22, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The egg looks a little floppy and some black pudding wouldn't go amiss but overall it looks edible. The plate on the right I mean, the Yorkshire is a step to madness.

"Yeah let's cook the eggs in the healthiest way possible then chuck on a loaf of deep fried bread!" There might be black pudding in the middle. The sausages aren't even visible.

I’ve only eaten it on a breakfast a few times, I can stomach a little bit if it’s cooked but I’m not a fan. It’s entirely possible that a greasy spoon cafe doesn’t sell the best quality black pudding and maybe I’ve not tried good quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of my favourites I'll be honest. I've had it often enough and will again, but generally if it's part of the default I'll always swap it for white pudding over here (because duh, that's the 2nd best thing on the plate) or get an extra egg (the first best). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
