Smile English Brekkie...???

...How often do you have one? And what do you have?

FTR, I plump for:-

2 sausages
2 unsmoked rashers
1 fried egg
Mushrooms
Tomatoes (sometimes plum, from a tin)
Black pud (sometimes)
Half slice fried bread
HP sauce
Salt
Black pepper
Half slice buttered toast
One slice bread & butter
A cuppa (sweet & strong)

Not too bothered by baked beans though - makes it a bit 'sloppy'.

Yeah, chips. Common to see that in English tourist haunts, in Spain. ... May as well be called Full English Fried Tea lol

Sounds fairly standard. I would add hash browns to the above.

I know its not the most high brow of places to eat but Wetherspoons full breakfast is good value and usually edible.

Sunday morning, normally cook for the family:

Scrambled Eggs with sliced, fried sausage or ham, chives and garlic
Bacon, several rashers
Oven roasted Tomatoes
Mushrooms
English Muffin
Soft Boiled Egg occasionally
-=-=

I have a new passion for Hairy Bikers (ooh-er) so I might try their Eggs Benedict recipe tomorrow although I think I'm going to mess up the hollandaise sauce.

Chips? Sacrilidge

I prefer smoked bacon, 2 rashers
2 eggs. If I want to be posh, I'll ask for them to be poached.
2 slices of toasted white bread (or one fried and one tosted)
Hash browns
Baked Beans
Black pud
Mushrooms
Tomatoes must either be cremeted to an inch of their life, or tinned or chopped+fried
Cuppa Tea...one sugar, no milk (or add extra sugar and milk if its shyte tea/hard water).
Glass of fresh orange juice (no bits).

Just spotted this on HotUKDeals:

Eat the "KIDZ Breakfast" with no help within 60 minutes and it's FREE!

It is named the "KIDZ Breakfast" because it weighs the same as a small child. The ultimate breakfast weighing around 9lb and served on a plate covering over 2 and a half foot!

You will be faced with:

- 12 Bacon - 12 Sausages - 6 Eggs - 2 Hash Browns - Saute Potatoes - Mushrooms - 4 Black Pudding - 4 Bread & Butter - 4 Toast - 4 Fried Bread - Beans - Tomatoes

Leave over half a stone heavier for just £15, or free if you eat it all YOURSELF within 1 hour.

2 rashers of thick smoked bacon
Fried Egg
Beans
Toast with loads of butter
Strong tea with milk and 1 sugar

I spend a lot of time in hotels and so limit myself to one a week. However, when I am offshore, breakfast is so early I always have one to get me through to lunchtime!

The carb overload would indeed be the killer... on top of the rest. Either on their own would be okay.

That said, if you were ravenous and refrained from bolting it down, then it's doable.

Is that a large pancake too! - in the centre at the bottom?

EDIT: Oh, it's the salute potato?

2 Sausage, 3 Bacon, 2 Eggs, Black Pudding, Tomatoes, Mushrooms (optional) and a Fried Slice

And a mug of tea strong enough to stand a spoon up in

Beans and potatoes (in any form) have no place on an English Breakfast
