baked beans ARE part of a traditional english breakfast. lambs kidneys? steak? for breakfast? what a load of bollocks. don't know what your talking about william. He's talking shite.
@WilliamGruff right, well you talk to most english people about what a standard fry up will be in england and it won't be lambs kidneys and steak, mate. fact ;o)
@stellaCURRYsorted: 'Standard fry up'? That'll be the sort of grease ridden slop that used to be served in scruffy transport cafes the length and breath of the kingdom then. My comment described a traditional breakfast, which I make a point of pointing out is not the same as a fry-up, and into which a great many ingredients can go, in a multitude of variations. Your culinary experience seems to be rather narrow.
@WilliamGruff well, i have to be honest - ive been to well respected hotels and had a 'traditional english breakfast' and i've NEVER seen these items on the menu, sorry mate. and i was a chef for 13 years ;o)
@stellaCURRYsorted: 1) 'Traditional' is a meaningless word used by sales people to convince the gullible that what they are buying is not second rate rubbish. 2) Commercial caterers are primarily concerned with making a profit from supplying cooked food to customers. Profit is the bottom line and while they will happily use the word 'traditional' to persuade the gullible to part with their cash they are unlikely to spend too much maintaining a genuine tradition. Cont:
Contd: 3) The 'traditional' English breakfast is a product of home cooking, not commercial catering; it was developed in a domestic context in which cost was not the principal concern. 4) Gordon Ramsay has shown the world that far too many 'chefs' are bloody awful cooks. Perhaps you are also. 5) There are many reliable sources of study for details of what the English eat and have eaten historically. Try reading a few before offering opinions that are clearly not well informed. Contd:
Contd: 6) You're not making intelligent or informed contributions and I'm disinclined to bandy brickbats with buffoons. I've said all I wish to so this thread is ended as far as I'm concerned.
@WilliamGruff 1) if the 'traditional' english breakfast is a product of home cooking then it's pretty much the same, generally, as the the ones you will find commercially. ie; bacon, egg, sausage, beans, fried bread, mushrooms, tomato. no kidneys. no steak. NOT ALWAYS but generally...your words.
2) if your gonna write lines and lines of drivel, i'm glad you want to stop. i've had enough of talking to a cretin who thinks he knows it all, but has so fundementally lost the argument.
Hash browns a no no - thats American -(and sceptic motorway service station..) \black pudding missing - so not traditional cafe - Finally and most important where is The TOAST which the eggs rest on - and another slice for the beacon or beans. Where is the the cup of tea?And the toast rack with more toat for Jam and marmarlade. No luv that aint an english breakfast your eating - Just a pile of preserved by the heatlamp poo...
You need black pudding, fried bread and lose the hash brown. Unsmoked bacon only. HP brown sauce, big mug of tea and tinned tomatoes, two slices of Sunblest white bread on the side. The Irish and the Scottish have only jumped on the bandwagon and copied the English breakfast. Otherwise a good try and you are beautiful.
I prefer the tinned Tomato's but she's missed out the black puding and the toast plus and the coffee or Pure orange juice and she's got kecthup it's got to be brown sauce on a full English mmmmmm
I love a full English breakfast, I usually eat mine around 11.00 am, fills me up for the day with no room for lunch, don't need to eat again till evening.
Hash browns and baked beans are not part of a traditional English breakfast. They have been added to the menu by commercial caterers because they are filling and cheap. For a proper English breakfast use smoked middle or back bacon, butcher's sausages, a Bury black pudding with pearl barley and large nuggets of fat in it, a white pudding, eggs, fresh (not tinned) tomatoes, fried lambs' kidneys (still pink inside), potato cakes, Staffordshire oat cakes a chop and a small steak.
@WilliamGruff Thats incorrect full english is Fried egg, fried bread, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, fried toms beans. With a seperates serving of toast with butter and marmalade and a pot of tea.
Bullshit, an authentic British breakfast ( or English ) is not served with hash brown potatoes, that is an American breakfast item. Black pudding is also part of an full British breakfast, in Scotland they would also serve a full breakfast with potato scones.
The trouble is, although it is very tasty (and the best hangover cure) it's also very fattening and full of cholesterol, which is bad for the arteries.
I'd recommend grilling most of those ingredients and instead of fried eggs, go with poached or scrambled eggs.
energy my ass. i ate me an english fry up once. i had two eggs, mushrooms bacon sausage and two pieces of ried toast and ended up sleep for what seemed like forever. tasty as hell though!
@zachcow when you eat too much often your body simply can't cope and you need to sleep as all the energy is being diverted to digesting the food... works like a charm when hungover tho :P
@Lo94s10: No, no. HP sauce is best used on a bacon butty, if it is made with sliced white bread, or pie and chips, but the pie and chips must come from a first class chippy.
