    Seriously disgusted as Cyprus has some quality sausages (Pastourma ) which would be amazing as part of a 'Full English' abroad.

    That's just reminded me of the disgrace that Americans call a breakfast sausage to go with the horror of the 'biscuit and gravy'.

    Toggle Spoiler


    That photo actually makes them look better than they are. They're tiny, dry and just a waste of everyone's time.

    Had a beef sausage when I was travelling through Northern Ireland yesterday. I'm all for beef and masses of grease but there's still something not right about them.
    It was made up for by them having scotch eggs on the deli counter though

    Americans get most things about breakfast wrong. The only exception is their crispy, seventy percent fat bacon, which is terrific.

    I used to make Waffles in the shape of Texas every morning in the hotel. With the aforementioned crispy bacon, they were fucking epic.

    @Spikey Well I mean, children DO have superior taste in food. They don't have to worry about things like diet, nutrition.. they just want things that taste delicious.

    We have that in common, me and the children.

    Because a full English is all about diet and nutrition.

    Right, but a full English has to come with a side of sorrow. Here in America we just put chocolate chips into things and draw smiley faces with whipped cream.

    My ideal fry-up:

    LOADS of black pudding (not that Bury Black Pudding stuff as it's shite), two fried eggs (really really crispy white, hot oil poured on yolk to seal it in but still...yolky), a few GOOD QUALITY sausages (i don't might cheap shitty meat in a burger or something but gristly sausages are fucking wank), hash browns, bacon, slice of fried bread, brown sauce, fried/grilled tomato. I wouldn't do beans but I'll eat them if they're there. Would happily substitute hash browns for other similar potato products (but not chips). Mushrooms if they're not shit. bye x

    Would be quite happy with a black pudding sandwich with shit loads of butter and brown sauce though. It's comfortably my favourite fry-up contributor.

    Black pudding is great. Plenty of well salted butter on a crispy roll with black pudding and Tiptree brown sauce is my go to breakfast if I haven't got time for a full fry up.

    You're a slice of toast away from perfection there.

    If someone put a proper fry in front of you you'd have to order another one, because you'd have wept all over the first one in deep sorrow at all the children's nonsense you've been eating over the years.

    Fucking chocolate chips and whipped cream for breakfast.

    For such a hellhole, and even for the lack of pudding, the nordies do the best fry. 3 kinds of bread

    I tend to avoid bacon in fry-ups when you can select your own items. If it comes with it then whatever, it isn't worth swapping out, but ninety-nine times out of a hundred places offer you pink shitty under-done bacon, so when you see it there sweating in the tray you end up going for more sausages.

    I wish they'd use streaky bacon more. Back bacon just isn't as good.

    I had pulled pork on nachos smothered with green salsa and a couple of fried eggs for breakfast in America. It was amazing and so much better than their sweet shit.

    I can't stand undercooked bacon. Why do so many places get it wrong? Most places serve it so it's basically like warm ham.

    There's a fine line though isn't there? I like a little crisp to my bacon but I also don't want it crumbling into an oily mess when i try to pick it up.

    We tend to use back bacon, which actually comes with meat attached to the fat.

    I have my cooked breakfast with spaghetti rather than beans because I just don’t like beans.

    Come at me boys!

    Ooh and the more hash browns the better. They battle it out with mash for the best way to eat potato.

    Rosemary works with potatoes. It's no piss take.

    Four on that little chart, but with an additional ten seconds of frying with the spatula pressed down on it.
