Yup. Beef bacon is a common substitute here. It's good enough for me.
My mate's dad just arrived in the north so I picked him up at the train station.
Ordered a Caesar Salad from the cafe outside the door. I really should have known better.
A little bit of Farmhouse bread with your bottled salad cream, sir.
Left overs.... mash and tomato with an egg that needed using, broke the egg
I recently stayed at a seaside Dorset pub with the daughter, 225 quid a night for a shared bed which seemed a bit unfair... especially on the daughter as I was farting like a trooper every night due to the real ales.
But anyway, the full Englishes weren't great either, which annoyed me somewhat. They used smoked bacon instead of the normal which I prefer, and it was a bit dry, as was the black pudding. And they only had sachets of sauces rather than proper bottles.
On the third morning I gave up on the full English and reverted to my usual fall back and one of my favourite breakfasts; sausages and beans with nothing else but toast and brown sauce (even kt was this fancy sourdough toast instead of normal toast).
At me mum's it was usually fruit or cereal followed by a slice of toast with home-made marmalade. With hindsight it seems criminal not to have made the most of all the lovely sausages on offer but you've gotta look after yourself.

I'm going to have to get my thumb near as damn bitten off by a semi-rabid cat more often. I was served up breakfast in bed this morning!
I must admit that it wasn't the Quaker's porridge oats with milk and golden syrup that I had envisaged, but a Thai rice porridge with shrimps.
It was OK I guess, and at least it didn't have a snotty egg dumped on the top this time.

Runny yolk eggs are the best. I send my meals back if I dont get one.
Fussy bugger.
^ I'm talking about a snotty egg... runny yoke, runny white
Basically a raw egg cracked open on top of the porridge. If you like it, all good, but not for me.
The soup (or rice should be hot enough to cook it) just needs mixing.
Tried that biscuits and gravy that our American friends rave about for breakfast today.
I have to say that it didn't really work for me.
Am I doing something wrong?
Possibly the worst ever from Rate My Plate:

I reckon only Chits could do worse than that.
Smoked herring on toast.

nice, good looking bread too. Now all you need is a 22 rifle for the pigeons from that vantage point, or pellet rifle as i know you are a buddhist at heart. You can even shoot the gardener up the arse when you catch him playing with the dogs bollocks. You know what they say about one up the bum.
Yeah, the bread looks good. Did it taste as good as it looked, Mendip? If so, where did you get it?
