Help with English breakfast, please

[theoriginalmadambee]

Scandi here, need your help with tips on making the perfect British breakfast, please.

We have exported our best bacon to you , but I have our version. For the first time I have imported Heinz beans. So trying beans on toast.

Soo having read recipes I know what to do, but do you have any top tips to make it better/perfect. Also what way to prepare the mushroom best?

Any advice much appreciated .

Yes HP sauce is brown sauce

Sorry , but your bacon is horrid, leaks white watery stuff, sulphates ? Etc

Brown sauce is HP sauce okay?

HP sauce is THE only sauce allowed. By law!

Dear God! You have to put marmalade on that toast or you'll be arrested. Tinned tomatoes are better than fresh for cooked breakfast.

You'll have to wash this down with tea.

@Thesuzle couldn't agree more. You should never buy the pre-cut, it is water and salt.

I generally buy a big chunk and slice it myself. The bacon cuts we export to you are more like 'cutlet cut' and soo much meatier. Our on the other hand is smoked harder and that is lovely.

I think someone rosti would work well too.

If you must have something fresh, how about grapefruit? Not on the same plate though.

@ThighThighOfthigh
Got to admit, I hate tea with a passion. Perhaps we should drink whisky with our dinner as some of our Scottish friends used to do.

100% fat & 100% alcohol, hope we live through it .

I would have roasted vine tomatoes as my 'fresh' bit but I know you said you don't like them. In Australia it's not uncommon to have avocado and/or spinach with a breakfast but it's not a traditional full English. OH likes to have both with his to make it feel a bit healthier.

I don't like beans or mushrooms so I would have bacon, sausage, eggs (fried), toast and tomatoes, I'll have sauteed potatoes or a hash brown if on offer.

cut some big tomatoes in half and cook them in the oven or under the grill until soft. That's should offset the fat a bit.
You can grill the bacon and sausages (are you using British style sausages as Polse will not be the same!).
Butter for the mushrooms but otherwise you don't need to fry anything unless you want to (though some would say you ust have fried eggs, I quite like a poached one).
A full English need not be really fatty/greasy if you don't want it to be..

Very true, i don't like it too greasy and have grilled bacon, good sausages, tinned tomatoes, toast and marmalade. Poached egg if any egg at all.

Square sausage and tattie scone are of course an essential (Scottish breakfast, not English!)

Toast butter and marmalade on the side.

You can have orange juice to counteract the fat!

Bore

Dead dead crispy bacon,
Decent sausage,
Fried potatoes or hash brown,
Beans,
Buttered toast,
Pot of tea.

No sauce, no egg, no tomato, no mushroom, no lettuce, no black pudding.

Thank you all very much for your help .

It looks good, was it tasty?

It was delicious , thank you.

It's personal and imo less is more.

smoked streaky rashers
good quality chipolatas
Yumptious fresh eggs fried
sauteed mushrooms in a little butter and oil - be hot and served before they go watery
roasted cherry toms

Trick: cook bacon until crisp and chipolatas until brown and pop in a warm oven, where the toms have been roasting. Add plates. Then focus on eggs and mushrooms. Eggs must go into hot oil and be basted. Eggs must have crispy edges and bubbles from the hot fat basting.

Somebody else has to be in charge of toast. Hot and white. Needs to reach table as plates do. Enough for marmalade afterwards.

English breakfast tea and fucking good coffee available.

Heaven!

Oh sauce - preferably Houses of Parliament but heathens like Tommy K.

HP sauce is THE only sauce allowed. By law!

Treason! TREASON!!!!

@Madambee your meal looks lovely I'm so pleased for you!

As you can tell we get a bit set in our ways and will argue until the cows come home about the perfect full English! tomato sauce is superior

You can fry in very little oil with good non stick pans, and grill sausages, bacon, tomatoes etc so it's not too fatty really orange juice with it cuts it (NOT instead of tea but as well as ) but I'm SO pleased you didn't add the lettuce!

Hi @Coffeeandchocolate9
Thank you . If we are doing the full one ever again, I promise you I will find a way to cut the fat . But now I know the correct taste and what to aim for.
This was a first with the beans and we quite liked them. Much better than those we get in tins here.

Soomknow how set in the ways you can get. We have lots of those here, too. Everybody makes the same traditional dish, but all does it differently (they are all wrong, mine is the only way ).

Soo know

No you need more fat
Fried bread anyone 🍞

Care to share your traditional dish with us?

@Coffeeandchocolate9
Smørrebrød - open sandwiches. Not the ones you see on TV those are touristy, fake ones.
We have them for all meals and they are much more flat than the ones you buy. You combine cuts and 'accessories' but in a specific traditional way, which causes endless confusion when foreigners try .
If you can get your hands on rye bread, I will tell you how to master this.

These are bought, but not too extravagant

Oh and we have something called 'remoulade' a dressing great with meat cuts and to die for with chips. If you want a recipe, just say and I will post tomorrow .
