Not my Idea of proper fry up . But Harvey Nichs this time. Selfridge's too pretentious for my liking. Sautéed potatoes and oregano on uncooked tomatoe.. plus very weird cooked bacon.. plus the sausages looked very wrong...😅😅😅
@@tancreddehauteville764 😂😂😂 You sound so pretentious mate. And pretentiousness falls in the category of paying for a name and not the real Mckoy. Don't be fooled by the premises... The simple and original honest ingredients the better... Fyi, I am a chef.... 😉😉😉
You can say what you like about greasy spoon cafes, but I would rather pay under a tenner for a full English breakfast than pay £17 for a sparse breakfast where your only paying for the the name of the high end outlet
Selfridges looks way superior in every respect not least cost performance. Actually Selfridges and John Lewis are the two department stores I may be prepared to visit, as both have proven to be of good value for money at all times.
Making me hungry chief. Circa 10.57. Fried potatoes. Nuff said. I'm 64 now, always lived in Glasgow Scotland. My mum cooking the Sunday Fry-Up would add sliced leftover tatties to the sausage and bacon grease until crispy outside and like mash inside. An exceedingly rare treat as.... leftover potatoes in Scotland! Naw. Thanks for the content.
Definitely Selfridges for me! Those potatoes looked amazing, and the eggs cooked to perfection. I thought Harvey Nichols was a poor show for the price.
They both looked great breakfasts and from your review. Think only I would answer as a full English is a home made treat 2/3 times a month however when staying anywhere always have them. So if I was staying near these great establishments over a couple days. Like you I'd try both. With Selfridge's I did find the sausages odd as if the chef cut the ends off for his own breakfast. The Harvey Nicks sausage looked preferable from your description. However top looking breakfasts in very smart surroundings
For £14 I thought the Harvey Nicks looks stingy. Drop the black pudding (bit of a waste as you either hate or like it). Should have been 2 eggs. And why does no where in the U.K. do breakfast hash or potatoes (fried diced potatoes). Which I’ve had plenty of times. Hate hash browns that look as if made in a factory. Cheap. Selfridges looked much nice and my style.
2 superb plates here. However, my only pet peve is a little too much bean wet in both. I feel this is a common issue when serving beans in a side pot. To fill the pot, they focus on the bean wet rather than the bean itself to make it cost efficient, which at £14 is mildly unfair. I am for using these pots all the same as it should be your choice if you want the bean wet to touch the sausage.
We do pretty good English breakfasts in Australia. I’d choose the first of these. The bacon and the toast looked really yum, though I’d rather fried bread.
I think Harvey Nicholls looked the best. I know it was expensive but it looked way classier. I was put off the Selfridges one by the sausage. I've used canneloni beans before in stews.
The absolute best thing in an English Breakfast is when u get 2 slices toast and uncooked tomato ...then u make a toast and tomato sandwich with good butter salt and pepper.
The Selfridges one might be a perfectly nice meal, but it looks too far away from a full fried breakfast to me. I want a cooked breakfast to be familiar as well as good
hey! Nice channel, no full english breakfasts here in Italy but i'll take good note of your advice when i get over there! I'd love to have a rich and tasty plate like those! Keep up the good work!
This is the first vid the tube of u has shown me of yours. While the Harvey Nichols bacon avoided the white gunk oozing out of it like the Selfridges muck, I think I'd prefer the latter, just for the feel of getting more novelty and more scran. Those potatoes looked great, and the unevenly cooked HN sausage wasn't brilliant.
Harvey Nichols needed two bits of toast, one for the egg and one for the beans. I need toast with those things. I am a massive black pudding fan. Sefridges looked better but I would have liked black pudding. Happy with two toast and fried potatoes, that was good.
I've never had black pudding, but it looks tasty. My dad used to like it, but he grew up in Mexico. I live in the US and I've never seen it in stores. What does it taste like? BTW, I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for posting!
Selfridges for me. BTW the thing you spread the butter on the toast with is called a knife. You can use them to cut the sausages, tomatoes etc into bite size pieces I stead of stabbing them with a fork and lifting them up to gnaw on. Definitely not etiquette. It really annoyed me.
It is not the shop. It is the quality of the Chef in the shop. Just remove all the burnt bits please. See how much is left, then decide. Agree Selfridges wins as less burnt bits and more variety
breakfast perfection would be, oatmeal and frozen berries with creamy soy milk and protein powder, bacon crispy, beans, sourdough bread and butter, lots of mushrooms, tomato, and seared scallions or leeks, maybe a crisp hash browns patty.
Both Brekkies look pretty decent& i do like the Tea Pot( it adds a nice touch) but man i'm a big Yorkshire Gold or Irish Tea Punter so it has to be Gold& Brown and strong( they both looked way to weak& watery for me)..But that an side,both Breakfasts were impressive!
Oh my Lord... If M&S V Waitrose is Arsenal V Man City well Harvey Nic's V Selfridges is the Champions League Final... Well one would assume... but maybe M&S could mix it with them... I love this channel 🦍💪🏾🍳🥓🥳
Harvey nickles wow ,nevet known this place excised it is amazing, better food service than harrods . 🇦🇺😀 harvey nickels did properly plated breakfast. Selfridges is impressive just as much .the set up was on point . Breakfast there looks nicely done , Balanced plate not to disappoint. Both i love ,but selfridges wins .🇦🇺😉💖👍
Yuk runny York and black pudding 2 things that shouldn't ever be on a breakfast! It's my personal opinion as I hate both of those things! For Harvey Nichols that was expensive and for what?? I thought you had ordered the kids breakfast til you said the price! Shocking! I wouldn't pay that even if it didn't come with Black Pudding and runny yolk it was way too costly! Selfridge's that looked like a breakfast even with that weird looking sausage! Ya can't have toast without butter! Sourdough toast yummy. Selfridge's breakfast for the price outstanding and looked very appealing too! Selfridge's for me
Harvey Nicholls for me if price point isn't included in the overall choice making. I felt the Selfridges one looked a bit flame shy (but if thats how their customer base enjoys it which matters).
Hi you seem to have had a lot of Full englishs over the last couple of months. Back in the day there wasn't a lot of difference in the quality at the same price points but there was a big difference between the different price pints. I mean cheap ones were cheap and expensive ones were expensive. Recently i think the cheaper ones are more expensive and the more expensive ones are cheaper so that they sell. You seemed to like the Selfridges Breakfast ( and it looked nice) which was only slightly more expensive than ms which was only slightly more expensive than say morrisons. So would you say that Selfridges was better value than morrisons? I used have breakfast at whetherspoons and used to go to Mcd's for a burger. I have worked out that whetherspons are now not worth going to, and have upgrade mcd's for 5 guys.
I think my overall best value breakfast in terms of price and quality of ingredients is M&S, Its not really cheap and not really expensive either but the quality of the ingredients was great and it tasted really nice too!
Fried potatoes are not that unusual on a breakfast but sadly not so common now. The dreaded frozen hasbrown has taken over as its far less effort! No buissness being on an English breakfast in my opinion. American hashbrowns are totally different and they look really nice. I definitely wouldn't object to those ones being served to me.
Both looked nice but who can afford to pay over £10 for a breakfast, give me a large Witherspoon's brekkie any day of the week. Comment of the video, the black pudding... Loved the colour!!! Not expecting the blackness then? 😂😂😂
The traditional English breakfast has never and should not ever have baked beans on it. And without Black pudding ( bury ) is again not an English breakfast. Toast v Bread is up for debate however you cannot make a butty without a FULL slice of Bread ( white warburtons ). And for anyone on the European continent if I ever see chips on my breakfast I am going to invade. You only have fried potatoes if you have them left over from the night before. AND while I’m at it where is the FRIED BREAD ???? 😂. Great video ❤
It a shame nobody seems to do fried bread anymore. Seems hash browns have replaced fried bread. Hash browns, in my opinion have no place on an English breakfast. Only potato dish the should be on an EB is bubble and squeak.
