American breakfast vs Full English

[Leviticus]

I was wondering whether anyone here have had a full english breakfast, and how they feel it stacks up to it's American cousin.

For those who dont know, a full english is a traditional meal in england. It is so traditional that its considered a dish on its own.
It includes eggs, back bacon, sausage, black pudding, baked beans, fried/grilled tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, bubbles& squeak (mixed cabbage and potatoes), and toast/fried bread.


For the American breakfast, I'm gonna use what would be considered a large breakfast where i come from.
Eggs, bacon, sausage, fried potatoes/hash browns, pancakes, oat meal/grits, biscuits &gravy/toast.

Looks good but I never understood baked beans for breakfast

I have had the English breakfast.
It was plentiful and it tasted great.
They call sausages "bangers"

The only thing I disliked about the Full English I ate at a hotel in York was the Cumberland sausage -- too much filler.

Edit: mine didn't have black pudding. I had a variety of black pudding while I was there which ranged from heavenly to "Excuse me while I go brush my teeth".

Buffet breakfast is one of the few compensations of staying in a hotel. In Ireland they also have white pudding which I believe is a form of black pudding.

I couldn’t eat it.

I tend to go for this:

What my auntie would feed me…

But instead of Bacon we would have back bacon instead or ham steaks…

And yet so good!

Yeah, bangers suck. Half sausage half some type of flour filler. Probably a carry over from WW something or other. Bland as fuck, with a nasty texture.

 

[Mindful]

German sausages are the best.

Back bacon is less fatty than normal bacon.

I had many big English breakfasts when I was there. They were very good but way too much food for me.

Other than their breakfasts the food was rot. The dinners came with peas. Everything. With peas.

However.

I was not a tea drinker but in England?? Um. What we had here, at least in the 80s, was not tea compared to that magical ambrosia they cook up. I drank pots of it there. And switched back to coffee here.

Am I the only one who thinks the wirdest part of a full english is fried bread? We have toasters for a reason.
