[Food] Silly Season Food Arguments - Part I - Breakfasts

[WATFORD zero]

For me black pudding would make the OP breakfast a Scottish one rather than English.

What if the black pudding were Clonakilty, Boudin noir or even Morcilla de Burgos

For me black pudding would make the OP breakfast a Scottish one rather than English.

I would have thought black pudding was more of a midlands/northern thing and the Scots differential would be white pudding

Scottish breakfast would include Lorne sausage, like sausage but made in a block.

And Tattie (potato) scone

Good Scottish breakfast to be had at Necot in Kemp Town with the option of haggis.

and no pictures of crumpet yet, disappointing

Outstanding eggs Benedict that.

When they are done well they are heaven on earth. Too often though…

…a lot of disagreement as to what constitutes an ENGLISH breakfast, IMO, stems from confusion with American, Irish and everything in between.

Hence arguments over whether baked beans, hash brown etc belong. Actually they don’t, because those are other nationalities take on.

Really, ENGLISH is very simple. It’s:
Bacon
Egg
Tomato
Black pudding
Maybe a sausage as well
accompanied by tea and toast.

Job done. Oh, and HP sauce or even mustard (Colmans obviously) if a condiment is desired.

Bacon
Fried eggs
Sausage
Beans
Mushrooms
Tomato
Hash browns
Potato or bubble
Toast
Coffee or Tea

Job done

Haggis is an excellent addition to a fry up.

Anyone seen the Fry Ups from around the world series on Tiktok?

Hash Browns are American. Bubble and squeak should definitely be in though.

Two cafes in Shoreham yesterday did not have English breakfasts on their menus anymore! The third one we went into, two English breakfasts and 2 flat whites came to £29.60 !

Was were the hot food alternatives (if any?) assuming the word smashed was involved

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Yep the English breakfast is in sad decline, unless you want to visit truck stops, workmens cafe's and the like.

Is the Chalet cafe still going?

Haven’t been for a few years but recall it was highly commended by Scania!

There is NO place for hash browns. King disgusting American crap.

Hash browns are GREAT, you weirdo.

I had a lovely one with breakfast at St George's Park yesterday morning, the home of English football, so there.

I LOVE a good hash brown!

I LOVE a good hash brown!

hey hey each to his own

Whilst I love a hash brown, (and one of my guilty pleasures is the McD hash brown ... when freshly made and blisteringly hot) it has no place in the English breakfast. Fried bread is king here.

They charge a penalty for having coffee with an English breakfast and not tea.
