We were away for a wedding recently and stayed in a B&B. They asked what we would like for our cooked breakfast the next morning. I don't eat sausages or bacon so I just said I'd like eggs, mushrooms tomatoes and beans. I got a beans??? Hmm So what do you think Mners? Weird or a nice addition to a cooked breakfast? :)

Beans are just an abomination. I'd tip my breakfast in the bin if it was contaminated with the filthy pustules known as baked beans.

without poncy changes to make a full English/Scottish/Irish 'healthy'.

taste, not health, is the issue.

No Beans, I dont even like their colour next to a fried egg, and no tomato either.

But yes to Egg, Bacon, Black Pudding, Haggis, Mushrooms and a Tattie Scone.

Of course beans go on a cooked breakfast

2 sausages
2 bacon
2 poached eggs
2 hash browns
Beans
Toast with proper butter

(Add mushrooms for dp)

But keep the bloody tomatoes away. Yuck

NO THEY DON'T.

I think they're an accepted staple part of an English Breakfast, but I wish to god they weren't. I usually get the Hmm when i ask for no beans or extra mushrooms/ tomatoes instead. They're vile and i could never understand why so many people love them so much. Bleurgh.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 19/07/2015 07:20

Only if in own little pot not touching anything.
And heres the healthy bit-fried in the bacon fat till sticky. Followed by rennies. Bloody lovely.

I am now going make fried egg, beans, hash brown for my breakfast. Yum.

Don't care if beans are traditional or not, they count towards my 5 a day! Plus I love them, with a drop of smoked Tabasco! We are not very traditional here. DS had hummus on toast for breakfast yesterday!

My prefect breakfast would be:

Sausage
Bacon
Fried Bread
Fried egg (lightly, so the yolk is still runny)
grilled tomatoes
fried mushrooms
And some tomato ketchup Grin

And that's it, definitely no beans, pudding, hash browns, etc

dontthinktwiceitsalright · 19/07/2015 14:55

No beans here either. (NI)

I loath mushrooms, black pudding and hash browns. These are some of many people's favourite ingredients, I understand.

My favourite breakfast is scrambled eggs on toast (must be fluffy and not like a 'foo yung') - with a sausage and some bacon on the side. Also partial to a grilled tomato but tip all the juice out. I might eat a small spoon of baked beans and agree with other posters, it must NOT touch the eggs!

We aren't a particular bunch at all, are we? Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/07/2015 15:03

... and no, absolutely NO, fried bread... Shock

Fluffyears · 19/07/2015 15:26

Beans are an English breakfast, they are anabomination in Scotland! Why would you eat them with egg...boak! If you are in Scotland it is rare to find beans in a cooked breakfast. Tends to be more common now as more tourists ask for them.

Fluffyears · 19/07/2015 15:41

My breakfast is:sausagex2 (square belongs in a buttered roll not a fry up, smoked back bacon x3 rashers, fried tomatoes and mushrooms, fried egg with runny yolk, potato scone fried till crispy and optimal toast and butter. Hash browns are ok but much prefer a tattie scone.

TheMoonOnAStick15 · 19/07/2015 15:50

I like baked beans, but I esp love mushrooms. Those big flat ones are wonderful. Also essential are decent quality sausages. And crispy bacon.

Not keen on black pudding at all. I will eat a hash brown if pushed, but potatoes in a cooked breakfast seem odd to me if I'm honest. And hash browns are often very greasy.

On to condiments...only English mustard is on my radar. And Tommy sauce. Don't like brown sauce.
