My wife hates vinegar, so if we're sharing I have to forgo it.

I ordered an all day breakfast yesterday and they told me that after twelve they replace the toast and fried bread/hash browns with chips. It sounds interesting, but it turns out that it really doesn't work.
Imagine not liking salt and/or vinegar. Why even exist.
I quite like chips on a breakfast, but I want the decision to be mine. And they are by no means a replacement for toast.
Chips and toast? Fucking hell lads.
I'd have a pack of crisps too if an option.
I skip the vinegar at a chippy because by the time I get home the chips are a soggy mess, plus they don't add enough.
You’re a soggy mess.
And then putting said pie into a buttered roll.
A few months ago I had "Steak on a Pie" at a Hungry Horse pub It was only about Ł11.
I bet that gravy is 90% salt as well.
Its failings became apparent as soon as I bust the egg and it just flowed around the other items. They had also done that wanker thing of giving you the beans in a separate cup, no doubt because they knew that once you tipped them out the sauce had nowhere to go.
How do these places manage to get it so wrong? I bet they gave you half a disgusting runny tomato as well. Weatherspoons used to let me swap that for a sausage, but they will only let me have extra beans instead now.
I had already swapped the mushrooms and the tomato for more sausages, so that went a long way in their favour.
Love a fried tomato, can be doing with beans on a fry up though, totally unnecessary.
What's wrong with a gooey egg-yolk?
A fry up without beans is just too dry. I want every mouthful to contain at least some bean juice.
You sound like Magics wife. Stop it.
Nah how you're a deviant mate, you get the vinegar splashed on at the chippy then add extra at home. Although if you're having chips from a chippy without gravy you should be sent to the gulag.
He doesn’t do well in that part of Europe.
Or this part, so fuck it.
I tend to lean the other way, there are also certain things that the bean juice should never touch (the egg for instance) and it's not always possible to create a barrier with the bacon/sausage. Dryness is a factor but I find whatver sauce you have (HP for preference) ably fills that role.
Square sausages are perfect for making a barrier between beans and egg.
Rosemary chips work well. A burger place near me does it and it makes them better. Especially served on a wooden board.
And only 13 Drachma.
Chinese chips. Delish.
I dunno . . .
Edit, out of the way quince, you spanner.
What?
I know you're taking the piss, but on this topic: this pretty good burger place here in stockholm does some great chips that they actually put a bit of dill on, which I thought was going to be an aberration really when I saw it, but it actually tasted alright. Now, they didn't put that much which I think is pretty key.
Then again, I'm not sure why bother. So long as chips are cooked properly they taste nice, they don't need much more than being fryed the fuck outta and a load of salt.
Had a breakfast with chips today. They really are a cornerstone item.
2 bacon, 2 sausages (extremely low grade ones), black pudding, 2 eggs, beans, tomato, fried bread, toast, chips. Still feeling it now.
Of any "chain", Harry Ramsden's do the best chips, although their portion size leaves me hungry.
I think I've been to the same one Jimmy mentioned in Amsterdam if it's the place near the train station. The menu was just chips but about 50 different choices of sauce.
My local greasy spoon does a great breakfast.
2 bacon, 2 sausage (surprisingly decent), beans, 2 fried eggs, tomato/mushroom if you're a weirdo and the best toast I've ever had slathered in butter.
You know, I bet there's less than 5 times in my life I've not enjoyed a sausage (). Are they all delicious, or do I just have low standards?
My comment about the quality was meant as an endorsement. Super processed greasy spoon sausages are quite excellent.
They're all great. The cheap nasty stuff has its place, similar to shit quality kebab meat, sometimes you just want that rather than the posh stuff. A 'proper' kebab after a night out isn't the same.
Stolen from reddit - a "Full English" in Cyprus.
Kudos on the arrangement.
Getting hit with a hot dog as part of a fry up is comfortably the worst thing about going abroad.
Beef sausages in Tunisia were one of the 5 times I've been let down with a sausage.
