American breakfast vs Full English

[Mindful]

Everything. With peas.

I love them.

 

[Mindful]

Am I the only one who thinks the wirdest part of a full english is fried bread?

To an Englishman it isn’t.

 

[Leviticus]

you never grilled bread in a pan with butter?

Toast is faster and easier. One less pan. Grilled cheese is one thing but why dirty a pan for plain bread?

I've had both and i find no real difference in the flavor so i go with toast

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

Oh, we had toast with ours. Never saw the fried bread. Hmmmmmmmmmm.........

Nobody ever went to England for the food.....Ever.

Plus they like SPAM.

It depends on the bread and you can use the same pan you use for the eggs

My tip for the Brits.

hold the beans....stop burning the meat....and frying the bread.

What do they go for? A bit of crumpet?

You can come to this place for the spam.

Back bacon is less fatty than normal bacon.

Normal bacon comes from the belly, and is fatty. Back bacon is the prime stuff.

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.

My family eats black pudding. I don't. Otherwise I have enjoyed English breakfasts.

You forgot the Kellogs corn flakes and orange juice.

Looks good but I never understood baked beans for breakfast

The magical fruit...the more you eat the more you toot....

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".

I think that "black pudding" is made from blood

Pig’s blood.

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.

White pudding is basically black pudding without blood. It's oats and pork fat. I prefer black pudding because the cooked blood has a lot of nutrients and gives it a more spicy flavor.

Never tried it. Fussy bout my black pudding as well. We get it from a proper butcher. The supermarkets sell it wrapped in plastic and its just not right.
