I used to enjoy the sausage and egg pasties from the Pasty Koop when I lived in Appleton. Authentic Yooper cuisine it was, and mighty scrumptious. And the Third Street Diner in Menasha has the best potato pancakes. There's nothing better than hot grits with a little butter and salt and pepper, though, when they're done right.

Does porridge count?
The full Scottish definitely must have potato scones and a nice slice, or 2 of Stornoway black pudding.
Rarely at home, mostly in hotels. Breakfast of choice is:-
Proper back bacon with fat trimmed off and NOT supersaturated with salt solution.
2 well cooked sausages of very decent quality.
2 eggs, scrambled or poached according to whim of the day.
Grilled tomato.
Mushrooms, preferably flat and black.
Beans.
2 small pieces of fried bread.
HP sauce.
All served on a proper plate IF you please, no ceramic swans or absurd riffy baskets or mini saucepans.
To finish, toast and fine cut marmalade.
All with coffee or strong sweet tea.
Had one on holiday in August. First one this year. However, reading this thread means I'm now off down the shop for some sausages!
For me sadly it’s generally only the customary full English at the airport on our annual Ski Chalet holiday once per year; granted the filling week will then comprise a cooked brekkie option but not quite a full English. The rest of the year it’ll be overnight oats flavoured with vanilla protein powder, berries and soaked in almond milk.
Much like others here until a few weeks ago it was when staying away with work, now I've jacked that and I'm gonna be back on the road it will be a weekend treat. I lived with my grandparents when younger and my Nan cooked a breakfast for Grandad and me every morning that he worked... with him being from Belfast originally no cooked breakfast was complete without potato bread... I can almost taste it now.

In honour of this thread, I had a root around the fridge this morning and came up with some bacon, mushrooms and a tomato. Grilled the lot and had some scrambled eggs and toast with them. I’m stuffed!
Home; when visitors stay we always do a fry up.
Work; more interesting;
I used to eat a full cooked breakfast for years when business travelling but its a killer.
These days I ask for 2 poached eggs and 2 rashers that I only eat the round bit of meat off.
I just cant get away with it.
Essential:
Decent butchers sausages x 3
Back bacon x3
2 free range eggs, fried or scrambled
Fried mushrooms
Tinned plum tomatoes
Beans
1 slice black pudding
Fried bread
Toast
Good coffee or Yorkshire builders tea
Optional :,
bubble and squeak , potato Rosti or hash browns
fried onions
Kidney
Minute steak
How likely the complete above menu is served at ours depends on which one of us is Cooking 🍳 and if we have guests. A slutty supermarket sausage banjo is a more regular option.

Very rarely even when in a hotel. Favourite brekkie at the moment is a Bagel toasted with blue cheese and Banana.
Always the naughty option!Originally Posted by ktmog6uk
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Fond memories of Thursday morning brekkies in HM Submarines - sauté kidneys on toast. Universally known as “Shit on a Raft”. Yum!
Stayed in a hotel last night as it was our wedding anniversary. Had a very nice 3 course meal so I had no reason to be hungry this morning. But I was, and as I'd paid for breakfast as part of the deal it was time to blow out:
Orange juice (went back for seconds)
Pot of coffee
Toast and jam
Bowl of frosties
Croissant and more jam
Sausage, 2 x bacon, fried egg, hash brown, mushrooms, grilled tomato.
I was eyeing up the cold cuts and cheeses but decided I'd probably had enough by that point. Apart from a couple of snacks I haven't needed to eat for the rest of the day.
Apart from that, can't remember the last time I had a fry-up. 6+ months ago..
Cheers,
Plug
Three sausage, three bacon?
Crazy talk. That's a daddy breakfast right there.
Been out in Cape Town for last 3 weeks and what I'd give for one of the wife's good old English breakfast.
I could smash a good old sunday roast but that's another story.
Xmas morning is the only hard and fast day although when younger my mum always made croissants and we'd have a truck load of them as a full english was a sunday 'brunch' tradition. Occasionally nowadays we'll indulge on a rare weekend morning when we aren't busy.
For me a proper 'full english' is as follows.
Plum tomatoes and toast as a 'starter' anything with juice on the main plate of a full english is an abomination as it contaminates everything.
At least 2 fried eggs, fried in smoking hot oil and never flipped, just gently splashed with hot oil over the top. Crisply edges and runny yolks are a must.
Fried bread, white middle quality bread that soaks up the fat and has crispy edges with enough give in the middle not to shatter into crumbs when cut.
2 Rashers of good bacon, smoked or unsmoked as you like but for extra points should have the rind intact and crispy.
2 good quality sausages again variety up to you but must have a high %age of meat content.
2 thick slices of black pudding crispy on the outside, soft inside, should hold its shape when cut
Some from of potato, in the past this was sauted potatoes but for ease it is now usually hash browns (I know, but modern life...).
Enough toast to choke a goat, spread must be real butter, lightly salted.
Optional.
Mushrooms. These must NOT violate the 'Juice' rule above.
Beans. If you really must then please put them in a seperate pot, personally I think it the height of poor taste to smother the perfection that is a good full english in beans.
Sausagemeat / square sausage. A staple for out xmas morning breakfast but a lot of faff so it's not always on the cards.
Kidneys. Must be slightly crisp on the outside. Only done this a few times but it brings something different to the party.
Condiments.
Salt. Maybe a sprinkle on the eggs and fried bread, salt should come from the bacon though.
Pepper. Freshly cracked black, none of this sneezing powder white or pre ground rubbish, the yolk of your egg should be covered
Ketchup. Personally I class this as 'juice' and so consider it to be anathema to a good breakfast.
'Brown' sauce. Borderline acceptable but only dobbled on the side of the plate, not sprayed all over everything.
Mustard. A possibility if kidneys or poorer quality sausages have to be used.
Worcestershire sauce. On the tomatoes only.
To Finish
More toast and proper butter.
A good quality marmalade, Thursday Cottage was a favourite of ours their orange and ginger being the pinnacle.
Beverages.
Coffee. Freshly ground good quality percolated is preferred but if all you have is a nespresso machine then that's ok. Instant is not coffee, go buy a nespresso.
Tea. I understand that some prefer this, fair enough you deviants but it's not for me.
As we are talking about a full 'English' things such as pancakes/flapjacks and maple syrup, grits and the like while nice in their own way should not be considered, multiculturalism has been addressed with the inclusion of hash browns as permissible, this is sufficient.
Once a fortnight or there about for me, normally after the gym or a few hours mountain biking so I feel a little less guilty but all the talk on this thread and a early run to the train station to drop the wife off meant I got this.
Not bad for £4.95, on the south coast in sight of the sea!

You know what I meant! (I hope)
That's my local cafe!
I hear it's closing soon though, sad times :(
It's not too far from Brunel so if there is a Watch fair soon, it's worth seeking out.
I work along side a bubble head.. "choir boys tadgers".. "Seggies"... he explained to me when you are "deep"..you can tell what day it is by the menu..I am also in Plymouth /Guz..

Correct! Seggies are tinned grapefruit segments and were considered a treat on Sundays. Boy, we knew how to live!

2 Sausage
1 Black pud
1 Fried egg

Is it lunch time yet?!
This thread has been on my mind whilst out of the country... first morning back and just had to have a gut buster with 2 cups of tea. This will be the last one for a good while now as the summer has not been kind to my waistline!

Very rarely a full English but at a Hotel next month that charge £17.00 for the full monty and as i am getting it thrown in i will indulge must admit they use the best ingredients sourced locally ( Lidl just joking) and properly cooked so will be set up for the M25 and A12
You really must try an "Ulster fry" if you are ever in this last outpost of the empire. Usual sausage, bacon, egg etc but the addition of the local breads fried, soda and potato, makes all the difference.
At Headfort for a golf tour this weekend and plan to over indulge.

That Ulster Fry is the same as the ones I used to get in Dumfries. There was a close connection between the two places a long time ago.
Ahh yes, two eggs. Two eggs is the law in England I believe.This thread has been on my mind whilst out of the country... first morning back and just had to have a gut buster with 2 cups of tea. This will be the last one for a good while now as the summer has not been kind to my waistline!

I'm afraid I go off plan and favour scambled.
Usually have something cooked most weekends - but the main ones are when out and about B&Bs or hotels.
The other significant regular occasion was the CalMac breakfast on the way from Craignure to Oban after the Mull rally.
I remember reading about some guys who did the ‘Ulster Fry Challenge’ – each consuming a full Ulster Fry in each of Northern Ireland’s six Counties, all in the course of a single day. Took them about 10 hours to do, and presumably also took about 3 months each off their life expectancy.
I can,t manage a full English breakfast in the morning but will eat one at tea time ...black pudding and mushrooms included.
I think the law states they should be fried, but scrambled acceptable if part of a plan to impress the missus with a healthy diet. But there should still be two.
Ian
Thursday tomorrow. Thursday is shopping and breakfast day.
We like Thursdays..........
Ian
No questioning the deuce of eggs, regardless of the form they take.I think the law states they should be fried, but scrambled acceptable if part of a plan to impress the missus with a healthy diet. But there should still be two.
Ian
Damn hungry after reading this, not had one for a while and tend to reserve it for a posh full English at a local farm.
Just do not like fried eggs, poached or soft boiled but like an omelette and proper scrambled eggs some of the “scrambled” eggs that occupy breakfast buffets you know the powdered version all white and watery are just awful same goes for IMO tinned tomatoes and tinned mushrooms.
OK chef i will have the proper eggs oh and that bacon and sausage are winking at me oh alright a field mushroom and maybe a hash brown or two fried bread ? oh go on it won’t hurt this time😋
A cooked breakfast is usually a Thursday morning treat in our house and I have just had:
2 sausages
2 rashers of bacon
A grilled tomato
Fried mushrooms
2 hash browns
2 slices of toast
Baked beans
😀
Are you American?
Surely hash browns have no place on a UK breakfast, many better options are available, bubble & squeak, potatoe scones etc. ;-)
