English Breakfast promo thread

Honestly, everyone I have said that beans on toast is a fantastic lunch thinks it's absolutely crazy. They won't even try it. It's totally alien to them. And yet they try to push peanut butter and jam to me, get outta here with that.
Beans on toast with some white pepper and cheddar is a solid quick and easy lunch no doubt but I have to say the yanks got something right with PB&J, it's delicious.
If there's ample butter. Love it when it hits light brown. Quality stuff though.
I just had it for supper at 11pm this evening. Beans goes peferfectly anytime especially with a breakfast.
In New England we have a thing call fluffernutters. Basically a staple of any kids diet growing up lol. No clue if you can get fluff over on that side of the pond though.
Great breakfasts, inspired me to do a fry up tomorrow, but intend to Keep the beans away from the other stuff.
You can usually find marshmallow fluff in the baking or American sections at bigger UK supermarkets. I've used it to make marshmallow buttercream for cakes and cupcakes.
The update we all wanted and needed to bring this saga to a close.
I'm a poached egg man rather than fried but I suck at making them.
Also I'm a Heinz Beaner but the wife is Branston and branston are on offer more so they win out usually.

An easy way I've found to do them is to fill up a mug 1/3 full of cold water, crack an egg in and then microwave for 1 minute. Obviously depends on the power of your microwave but once you've got the time right for your specific machine (which may involve at least one exploding in there because you've put it in too long!) you can knock them out without fail.

I will try that. How does it scale up for two eggs? Double the time? 150%?
Dunno, I've only ever done one at a time.
If you're using two mugs I'd probably go along with 1.5x time.

Yeah it's not really something that confounds expectations. If you like meat and eggs you're going to like a plate of meat and eggs. If you don;t like meat and eggs you're probably not going to enjoy it.
I suppose the most surprising things is why it's not more popular in places like the US. Eggs and bacon I understand is commonplace but then it seems to move in the direction of pancakes when you want something bigger, rather than towards sausage and toast, And then these is the beans issue.
it's a fairly simple dish when you think about it, there are places in the US that understand that and work towards providing, but there's still some 'alien' elements
black pudding needs a bit more time before the US can pick it up
beanz luckily are a bit easier to come by, my local Kroger has them in stock at all times (in the foreign food section lol)
Hmm, I'd give your brekkie about a 6.5 out of 10.
Don't like black pudding or that kinda bread, lack of mushrooms also. However, your beans look spot on as does your hash browns (I prefer premade though).. If I could be bothered, I'd show you have to make a proper one :)
Also. THE best way (and nearly easiest way) to make a poached egg is in a frying pan!
Like this but without the cover for me, was a revelation coming from a normal pan:

looks great. Although i have 2 quibbles, which is to be expected when you're posting a picture of a fry up.
1. Where are the mushrooms?
2. beans and tomatoes??? come on its one or the other.
other than that looks good. Finally some good fucking food

it's fine, OP
a full english should be adaptable and conforming to some degree, especially depending on the location
ive heard of a vegetarian full english

Agreed. Anything goes really.
People have haggis, white pudding (whatever the fuck that is, never got to the bottom of it), cabbage, potato bread things, fucking chips/french fries (also personally I consider that BAD), minute steak (might be Australia that does that)
This is far too reasonable and rational a position. Waging holy war over what a full English should have is far more fun.
this dog from West Virginia knows all about eing laand
and it's break fast
HEINZGHOST
White pudding is black pudding without the blood - still tasty but not as strong tasting as black pudding but stronger tasting then a regular sausage (also still has oats and stuff in it) Very good with a bit of vinegar on it.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!
A full English HAS to include bacon/sausage, egg, beans and some sort of bread - toasted or fried. It can optionally include mushrooms, tomatoes, hash brown, black pudding - though in my mind mushrooms, tomatoes and black pudding are not optional.
Once you start adding things like haggis, white pudding, potato farls, soda bread etc it's no longer a full English. Hell, add soda bread/potato scones and you're moving more into Ulster Fry territory.
Thank you all for your attention, here endeth todays lesson. Good day!
