The English Breakfast Society has said that hash browns do not belong on a Full English

Some of the cafes in london give you a portion of chips with a full breakfast.

I gotta admit, whilst that should no way be on a full english, the kind of places that do that tend to give you a decent breakfast for the money.

I love going out for breakfast, I easily prefer it to going out for an evening meal, where I often end up feeling very disspointed. Its much harder for places to screw up an english breakfast, and its usually not too expensive.

Ok, but it’s an English breakfast so black pudding stays.

Lets keep some tradition lol

Exactly, and that's why I love my French toast, Danish Bacon, French eggs, American baked beans + American ketchup, Spanish black pudding, Moroccan sausages, American hash browns and Italian toms on my English fry up :cry:

I see some café menu's also have French fries that can be added to a breakfast :eek:

:pFrench toast is a dessert, Danish bacon is an abomination, American anything is generally inferior sugar filled pap, Morcilla is lovely but it is not a black pudding replacement for a fry up, if it ain't a banger what is it doing on a Full English. Hash browns are kind of ok they're an update on bubble and squeak for me, and Toms are toms.

And seriously Danish bacon is an abomination.

Hash browns aren’t a patch on a well fried crispy bit of bubble

Thanks for making this thread OP. With all that's going on in the world, we really need to focus in on the more important matters. :)

You joke, but I had the most profound moment over a fry-up 10 years ago.

I was sitting in a B&B having breakfast alone, boss upstairs sleeping off a hangover after finishing a TV project. My view from the window was a bay in Stonehaven, Scotland, and it was just stunning. Boats, sea, mountains, totally solitary. The whole world melted away and it was just me and the plate. I was completely centred.

Ever since then fry-ups have been a religious experience for me. When I'm fighting with my partner, we go for a fry and cleanse ourselves, start again.
 
Has to have:

  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Egg
  • Beans
  • Mushrooms
  • Carbs - can be buttered toast or hash brown, I'm not fussed
  • Tomato I'm not fussed, can take it or leave it
  • I don't like black pudding so thats a no from me, but perfectly acceptable if you like that kinda thing
Fry up is like a roast dinner, its more a concept than a fixed list of ingredients. Funny thing is I was in Spain recently and a waiter was asking me what veg should be on a roast dinner, for thier menu and the best answer I could think of is whatever you want withing reason, peas, parsnip, cabbage, carrot, etc, etc. or happen to have laying around.
He also couldn't get is head around having multiple carbs in one dish though, Like mash, and roasties, he was like why 2 types of potatoe?? what for??
