Traditional Full English Breakfast (Fry-Up)

I head to Little Portland Cafe in London, England for a traditional fry up consisting of eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomato, and a hashbrown. All for £4.95. What a deal!

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 Thanks for the clarification. The menu you've mentioned sounds delicious. I'll be sure to try the next time I'm there.

@fezzin1992 Wasn't on the menu unfortunately. Made up for it by sampling elsewhere. Delicious though!

That ain't a legit English breakfast. Change your title of the video.

@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.

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.

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:
