Thread: The Best Breakfast in the World Step by Step.: the Full English

^^ they also got all their timings wrong apart from the egg, its either passed too close to the sun and straight from fridge to plate.

It's probably underneath with the beans and gravy

^ Good luck. I always thought that the absolute best thing about the full English breakfast was some other bugger cooking it.

Indeed it is, over an hour from start to finish.

A lot of effort for a heart attack on a plate, a bowl of cornflakes would have sufficed.

Used bacon chops instead of that wafer thin bacon you get in the UK nowadays.
The plummed peeled tomatoes were a good call.

Here you go TD members , a full monty...

Anyone recognise the face

Look, it's gotta be said. The best black pud comes from the black country, next to brum- that's known. It comes in a big sausage format, not pre-sliced and packaged in plastic from yer local supermarket! But kudos anyway- black pud with brekkie, you're most of the way there.

^^ It is Dill, right?

Exactly. Just bacon or sausages with eggs and a cup of coffee is no worries but once it gets to the point of having more than 4 or 5 ingredients that all need cooking at the same time and the effort/mess ratio is off the charts, it's time to say "come-on let's go somewhere for breakfast"

Ferk it, lets order egg mcmuffin delivered. Thus did civilisation fall.

Nope but I am once again sleepless in Seattle. If you shoved that in front of me I would shovel it down.

It gets worse Shutree as I do not remove the teabag even after adding the milk. I like a stewy brew and the lurking teabag builds its strength as you sip your way down.

Good effort Chitty. Solid and sturdy looking bacon and tidy symmetrical presentation.

This was the full option from our shop. 135 baht. Although whoever ordered that and uploaded it to our page must've asked for no mushrooms.

Very nice Dirk but that lettuce has no place on the plate

thai lettuce has no place on any plate.

Looks pretty good. Even reversed the knife and fork to fool the early riser.

I hope there's more toast on the way though...

That looks excellent.

Is that haggis next to the black pudding?

My wife had a request for white pudding about 2 years ago and since then has sold quite a few to regular customers mainly northern Brits.

I know nothing about black or white pudding but am told white pudding is a healthier option.

"Black pudding is a good source of protein, essential for building strong muscles, repairing tissue and maintaining an effective immune and hormonal system. It can also provide important minerals including an easily absorbed form of iron, essential for transporting oxygen around the body."

More iron in our food is no bad thing, as government surveys have consistently shown that a proportion of the UK population, particularly young women and children, have low dietary intakes of iron. This can lead to anaemia, which has symptoms such as tiredness, palpitations and shortness of breath.

"It also contains zinc for cell growth and immunity, potassium for balancing fluid levels and is sugar-free," says Hilary.

Why black pudding is a superfood (netdoctor.co.uk)


It is high on fat & salt though. Na, the main thing that holds people back is squeamishness.

Joe's gammy handed. It's amazing what you can tell from food pics.

I reckon JP is as well.

I'm gonna do an alternative full monty tomorrow.

The likes of which no one has ever seen before.

Stay tuned...

I get both black and white pudding from a really good butcher near mine when I'm home, and white doesn't contain pig's blood nor seem to be as fatty.

I like them both but, contrary to what sabang says, the best black pudding is the world famous black pudding from Bury!
