    Slap's Full English Breakfast reviews

    Thirteen million Londoners have to wake up to this. And murder, and All Bran, and rape. And I'm sitting in this fucking shack and I can't cope with Withnall. I must go home at once and discuss his problems in depth.



    I was nursing a twat of a hangover last Sunday after having celebrated my friend's pending nuptials. Reluctantly, I left the hotel we'd stayed in - I say reluctantly because the general public are extremely fucking scary indeed when one is snared in the bosom of unrelenting angst - and made a blinkered beeline for Wetherspoons where I ordered a strong pint of lager and a full English breakfast. After somehow managing to summons the hand-eye coordination to maneuver the pint glass towards my mouth, I upturned the fucker with one gargantuan effort and poured it down my gullet.

    AHHHHHH! THAT'S BETTER!

    Now that I'd recaptured the status of a semi-functioning member of the human race, I put paid to my food, settled the bill which was the friendlier side of a fiver, and promised myself a similar feed the following week, when I would perhaps savour the flavour a tad more.

    So today I ventured into town with a view to indulge myself with a plate of definitive British cuisine.

    I located a cafe and inspected the menu.

    'All Day Breakfast 1' pretty much ticked all the right boxes: 1 egg, 2 bacon, 1 sausage, beans, mushrooms, 2 toast, tea, coffee or a can - £6.10.

    Expensive, granted. But I nevertheless placed the order and read about Liam fucking Gallagher's lovelife in the paper while I waited. Why would I care if some Mancunian retard shags about? The Sun seem to think it's very important. But they also think that 'Sexy Georgia Salpa posing in a black swimsuit in a sizzling new photoshoot' is important, too - so they can just about be forgiven. The fucking lecherous kunts.

    Ok, so breakfast has arrived. Let's eat and analyse:

    Upon initial inspection I was appalled at both the meager serving and the presentation. With half the plate comprising a massive baked-bean spillage and my one and only sausage having been unceremoniously dumped on top, I wasn't at all impressed. Although I was most encouraged by the presence of the perfectly cooked egg and the two buttered wholemeal slices:



    Marks out of 10:

    Egg: 9 - perhaps a little overdone

    Sausage: 7 - although the taste was there, I didn't expect to have to fish the fucking thing out of a lake of beans

    Bacon: 9 - succulent cuts of back bacon. again could have done with a minute or so less in the pan

    Beans: 5 - too many and barely tepid. on the plus side I shall soon be basking in the fruits of my labour

    Mushrooms: 8 - tasty, but not enough attention to detail - I generally don't want to be eating rogue stalks

    Toast: 10 - healthy door-step slices with a liberal smear of butter

    Overall: 6.5/10 - not the most financially feasible of breakfasts. you'll definitely get more bang for your buck in Whetherspoons. but by and large a satisfactory dining experience.

    6 quid for that, looks awful.

    just plopped on to the plate with disdain, probably by a fat unshaven fuck of a turkish cook whos just had a big morning shit and not washed his hands.

    Ahh the famous watering hole of Wetherspoons I always enjoy the company of blue nosed, charitiy shop suit wearing patrons who at 9.07am can get their first dose of alcohol.
    Yes the breakfasts are very good value, and the ale is cheap. But there is always a slight sniff of dependency and sometimes a blatent, this isnt the first drink ive had this morning ( hipflask, can or bottle )
    After 10 am the dynamic changes and you get the up market patrons who have done their shopping, placed a bet and now look forward to drinking Transalvanian cider all day or whatever they like to call their tipple.
    I love the place.

    No black pud, half a can of beans slapped all over, one egg, a sausage that looks like a burnt turd.
    Sorry slaps, it's shite. 3/10 being generous.

And their overmuscled "babyfathers" (kids are not called bastards anymore they have "babyfathers") FFS. Its only the polish that are healthy, and speak english.

    Not surprisingly, I was greeted by a sultry Polish harlot who asked me, 'vot sos ahd like with my brakvazt'.

    The brown, please...

    Come on, Sonia...let's be appalling....

    Yep, forgot about the black pud, but I still think 6.5 is a fair score for this one.

    It could have been. The place was full of fat, sunburnt pondlife...

    Correct. Half of this country's a fucking freak show. If they aren't hyper on steroids, they're spaced on heroin - in Croydon anyway.

    It's definitely easier to come across healthier food in Siam - but I certainly wouldn't call English fare horrid.

    If you take a look at lunch, for example. In Thailand freshly prepared meals - noodle soup, fried rice, fried pork etc - are available absolutely everywhere. It's convenient, cheap and, for the most part, very healthy.

    In England, however. Unless you want to spend a small fortune for a freshly prepared meal, you invariably end up in Tesco taking advantage of their 3 pound meal deals, which although aren't particularly toxic - pre-prepared sandwiches, pasta dishes, crisps and soft drinks - aren't great in terms of nutrition either.

    Viva la Siam!

    Sounds like a plan. I have to give 2 months notice where i am living, work is about the same. I will have a gander at the locations. To be honest im not looking for big bucks, I just want to do my best and work for a fairly decent school. Cheers Slap.

    ^Haha, I expect as a trucker you're a fair connoisseur of the English Brekky Nige?

    I must admit, I've had more than my fair share of 'em having worked in the buiding game for years, it's a tradition for me to have one on a Friday if there's somewhere nearby to get one and I'd agree: I'd feel really ripped off paying £6.10 (!) for that.

    For £6.10 I'd want 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 egg, 2 toast, black pudding, hash brown, beans, tomato/'shrooms even though I don't eat 'em, and a big mug of coffee or pot of tea!

    For all that I'd pay £6.10, but it can be found for around a fiver a lot of places.

    I'd expect a brass band and a "happy ending" for that much.
