English breakfast 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (flag edited by MNHQ)

[Wishitwouldsnowsomuch]

I live abroad and make an English breakfast about twice a year 😂
I have fond memories of being a child and coming downstairs to the smell of bacon and cracking of eggs.
I fancy doing one this Sunday, what are the ideal things to have?
We had the full things as kids (no beans though! 🤮) but we had fried bread etc, I’ll likely just do toast, but it will be white and it will be Warburtons. Love mushrooms too, tomatoes I’m not sure as I’d do normal, proper tomatoes fried, but we had plum tomatoes as a kid? Which is best?

For me, the perfect cooked breakfast would have:
Thick back bacon
Sausages
Mushrooms
Egg (fried is best but any way will do)
Beans not essential but ok in small amounts..
No hash browns - they're always disappointing
White toast and coffee.
I like a bit of fried bread occasionally but it's gilding the lily in a fry up - better as part of a minimal brekkie - fried bread, fried egg on it and bacon. Yum. .
I need to try a proper Scottish breakfast and an Ulster fry before I die.

FFS I'm dying for a fry up now despite also being really full from dinner still. 🤯

Not english breakfast but cooked breakfast we say in our house

Sausage
Bacon
Fried egg
Black pud
Mushroom
Tinned tomato
1 Fried bread
1 bread and butter
Or
Bacon
Mushroom
Fried egg
Wilted spinach
Fresh tomato
Toast

No specifics or names or arguments of what type of breakfast, just what I like. not very often I have one though once or twice a year but I could eat either rn thinking of it

Bacon, sausage,black and white pudding, fried egg, fried bread and AVOCADO. I await my flaming from you traditionalists 😂

@trippily What? Where am I from then?

Reporting @Sallyh87 to the home office. BEGONE FOUL ALIEN.

Kidneys, traditionally.

Enormous grilled mushrooms with salt on them so a little soup forms in the cup. Trust me.

Bacon, fried egg, sausage, mushrooms, hash brown, black pudding, grilled tomato. Brown sauce. No beans 🤢 I'm normally too full to have toast with it but if I do it has to be white buttered toast to mop up all the juices. Washed down with fresh apple juice.

Spinach on a fry up? That's just wrong.

This without white pud
But yes avocado

Would it be weird to make the mushrooms garlic ones? It would, wouldn’t it

Here i do sausage, bacon, mushrooms, fried potatoes with onions and peppers, scrambled eggs and sometimes sautéed spinach with butter. Can't stand beans, tomatoes or egg whites.

More often I make omelettes instead with toast

England obviously? Nobody else would make the mistake of thinking they are the whole of Britain's culture. Nor would they want to.

Think I'll be at Lidl tomorrow morning buying the ingredients, so much for dieting!

Quite

Anyway

My cooked breakfast (not English as I don't live in England)

Link
Lorne
Bacon
Poached egg
Tattie scone
Fruit pudding slice
Black pudding (preferably Stornoway)
Mushrooms
Beans (for wetness)
Fresh tomato

Pot of tea and some toast and butter

Grill em, bake em, fry em, eat em. 😀

Green stuff has no business being on a full English 😢

English, you say, what? Garlic? None of that foreign muck, old chap.

2 x sausage
2 x bacon (ideally one each of streaky and back)
1 x fried egg (scrambled sometimes acceptable)
Mushrooms
Tinned tomatoes AND baked beans or
Fried fresh tomatoes
White toast with an obscene amount of butter
Extremely large mug of tea.

That's a proper English breakfast.

I would have Lorne sausage with scrambled eggs and maybe hash brown/bubble and squeak and tinned tomatoes.

I would throw black or white pudding in the bin and haggis isn't allowed over my threshold 😁

A traditional Scottish cooked breakfast would be some or all of this -

Egg(s) (probably fried)
Black pudding slice
Haggis slice
Lorne Sausage Slice
Link Sausage
Bacon rasher(s)
Fried Tattie scone
Fried bread
Beans
Fried mushrooms
Brown or Fruity Sauce

Tea or Irn Bru to wash it down.

@trippily I did it by accident, okay? It was just a lighthearted thread, not one to be nasty or put people down on, just a thread about my excitement about my breakfast on Sunday. I don’t even live in England anymore, I didn’t think, was just posting about my breakfast. How to put a downer on things.

YABU for making me want a giant fry-up in the morning. I've put on 3 kilos over Christmas and that isn't going to help me shift it!

Didn't fried bread use the day from the bacon but with grilling and leaner bacon there's hardly any!

I love a full English at a hotel buffet. It makes my stay.
I go for everything except baked beans. Never liked the idea of black pudding but am a convert after being given it with fish. I eat it often now.

I prefer a poached or scrambled egg.
I like a tinned tomato if I have toast or fresh tomato if having fried bread.
