English Breakfast/Fry Up

[JamBrit]

Have you ever had one with the works? I went to a British pub on Friday and ordered their version, which I haven't had in ages. I couldn't eat half of it! When I was living in England, we ate "fry-ups" pretty often and it was huge! I can't believe I was able to put all that food down. Our fry-ups (or one person's plate) would consist of:

2 Eggs
2 Sausages
1 Beefburger
2 Fish Fingers
2 Slices Bacon
Fried mushrooms
Baked beans
Fried tomatoes
1 or 2 Slices of toast

Here's a picture of something similar and a typical English Breakfast:

Another favourite English b'fast is baked beans/eggs on toast. We used to scramble our eggs then mix it with the baked beans and serve it with the toast on the side.
(That way the toast would remain crispy).....mmmmmmmmmm....

Love those breakfasts JamBrit...and the British sure know how to eat huge meals!

I grew up with Scottish parents...and a full breakfast was something we always had on the weekends. I did notice something missing though...a favorite of mine. Blood pudding...not for the 'faint of heart'.

Now I feel like having breakfast for supper. Great pics!

You know, I did notice the &quot;blood pudding&quot; when I googled English Breakfasts....I had no idea it was a part of the traditional breakfast for some...definately, not for me though....

BTW ~ They're not my personal pics....

Re: English Breakfast/Fry Up

When I visited England and stayed in B&amp;Bs we were always offered a choice of an &quot;english breakfast&quot; or cereal. I always thought this was a sort of requirement for owners to have available to guests. I always had it in the morning and it was sufficient to last me until tea time I never had an English b/fast I didn't like

Re: English Breakfast/Fry Up

Back in our early years, David would always try to get me to do a fry-up. I think I did it once to accommodate him but no sah! Now if he wants it, he does it himself, and only when I'm not here... that shyte is not healthy man...

As for the beans or eggs on toast thing I just don't get it... maybe it's cause I can't stand wet bread...

Re: English Breakfast/Fry Up

I don't do the fry up....but egg whites and beans.....

Re: English Breakfast/Fry Up

I had never heard of the typical English breakfast. It looks good but enough to feed a whole family lol. I might not eat it all, but I would be willing to give it a try.

Now the beans on toast on the other hand I have heard of but never with eggs too. I don't like baked beans so you know how I feel about that one.

I like watching &quot;You are what you eat&quot;....with Gillian McKeith...that woman noh joke!! She really does make you think about what you're eating though...not that I eat much to begin with so I don't have a weight issue...but I do eat quite a bit of fast food...*shame*

Let me tell you, a fry-up is VERY TASTY!!! Yum-O!! Especially with some good hot sauce...that's the biznizz...

Baked beans mixed with scrambled eggs, is delicious....

I don't believe it is an &quot;everyday&quot; breakfast....maybe two/three x week....We used to have it twice a week at the most (Sat/Sun).....
