Back bacon, fried eggs, pork sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, and fried bread with a large mug of tea is my preference when it comes to a Full English breakfast.

Forget the fried bread and substitute hash browns. Then add an apple at the end.

I'm going to add kippers with bread and butter to the list of English breakfasts although I'm aware that very few people now eat kippers - I think this is due to the herring fishing ban between 1977 and 1982. Kippers are awesome and cheap!

So true. Since covid and working from home (almost) all the time, I have 'breakfast' some time between 9 and 11 and it can be literally anything I fancy, then nothing else until tea time. For me that is usually a pasta dish but it varies. I gave up cereal for breakfast a long time ago because I found it made me ravinously hungry at midday so I would end up eating too much for lunch.

One of my big treats these days in retirement is a monthly visit to a local caff to get a great English Breakfast , fried bread , bacon , eggs , sausages , beans , fried potatoes and loads of toast .

@gennytun 3 месяца назад

Breakfast priorities - what I most regularly have, starting with most frequent choice: 1 Coffee 2 Coffee 3 one of the following: a) porridge (made with water), chopped fresh fruit to sweeten b) uncooked oats with yoghurt, seeds and lots of chopped fresh fruit b) toast with butter and homemade jam or marmalade and a piece of fresh fruit on the side 4 Far less often (instead of any of the items under 3 above) scrambled egg on toast, poached egg with avocado on toast, mushrooms on toast, or some combination of these. 5 Full english/fry up only on holiday, maybe once or twice a year (simpler version of fry up for lunch at home more often). 6 Far too rarely (because don't have the luxury of domestic staff to make it for me) delicious tasty kedgeree. Will make this for lunch or dinner instead sometimes .

In the US the pancakes and waffles and other sugary items on the Denny's menu are only part of the menu. Many of us go to diners and have variations on eggs, bacon/sausage with hash browns or other versions of potatoes with toast/ muffins, etc. Much more toward the savory area and not so much the sweet stuff. In the south the potatoes are often replaced by grits.

@johnleake5657 3 месяца назад

I agree with your comment about airport food, and I have often had a cooked breakfast before leaving the UK for a while. However, I've changed my mind (not least because a heavy fry-up is not great to fly on as you are sitting down for so long). So now I recommend Wagamama at the airport, who do a British *kedgeree,* a really traditional cooked British breakfast containing curried rice, fish and an egg. Wagamama's kedgeree has a slight Japanese twist as they use a katsu curry rather than the traditional British curry powder, and a poached egg rather than a hard-boiled egg.

When I was in Scouting our go-to breakfasts on weekend camps were bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns on Saturday morning; and gruel/oatmeal made with water on Sunday morning (we wanted an easy cleanup on leaving day). I've had both of these breakfasts at home, though I put milk in my oatmeal (our milk has added sugar).

@user-se7es6uc8v 3 месяца назад

Going back many years a traditional English breakfast ( in upper class households) would include kippers ( smoked herring fish) and kedgeree ( smoked fish, hard boiled eggs and rice with curry spice). I think you're correct about the sweet/savoury divide ( until it comes to cereal).

If you are ever up there, you should try a traditional "Potteries" breakfast. My mother's side of the family all lived in the Potteries and as kids, we were there all the time. My granddad would be gone by the time we got up, makings pilgrimage to "his" oatcake shop. Everyone in the Potteries used to have "their" oatcake shop, almost always the one closest to where they were born - or here the parents had been born. I think the last of them has gone now, but the original oatcake shops were "hole in the wall" operations, where a family on a street had converted their downstairs into a kitchen and served fresh oatcakes out of their front window, straight onto the street. These places provided an early version of the "take away" breakfast and workers would grab a few on their way to work - they would buy theirs filled, with things like bacon and cheese, but you could also buy them plain to take home and fill yourself. My grandparents - like most families had several favourite ways of serving them, savoury and sweet and they were an absolute staple in every home there - they still are, but nowadays they are made by one or two large companies. When we left my grandparents, we'd always bring a few dozen home with us, they are the Staffordshire version of a tortilla or wrap - but so much tastier

Since I retired, breakfast is my favourite meal because I no longer have to rush. However, what I eat is not exactly exciting. Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with blueberries or porridge and blueberries when it is cold, followed by brown bread toast with a spread (Bertolli (because I don't like butter), chocolate and Hazelnut Spread, cheese spread, peanut butter, or peanut butter and jam), and always a glass of juice, usually Clementine, or maybe Orange. Sometimes, I might have crumpets, bagels, or croissants on rare occasions. I always take my time eating breakfast, having previously taken it on the go (a couple of pieces of toast to eat in the car). To me, it's not what I eat that is important, but that it is a calm and relaxing start to my day.

I usually have chopped up fruit and nuts (always with apple), topped with Alpro organic soya yoghurt - delicious, creamy, and very healthy! I have to admit I do like bubble and squeak, or potato rosti with an accomplement of one’s choice

Sounds lush!!

Creamy *yuk* made with soya is not yoghurt. Why do vegans have the need to appropriate meat and dairy food words to describe their food? Yoghurt is made from the milk of ruminants and it is very healthy to eat. Eating lots of soya is most definitely not healthy.

Not really that healthy just a load of fructose and soya

As a kid I always had cereal with a spoonful of sugar sprinkled on. As an adult, my sweet tooth has chilled out and I don’t bother. But that was the hack to save the bland cereal here.

Breakfast mostly depends on your job in the UK, I'm a builder, usally I don't have time for breakfast first thing in the morning, maybe just a bit of toast (with real butter) and marmalade or marmite with a coffee to wake me up, but when at work, around 10,15am I would normally go to a cafe or canteen for a full English, very rarely in London have I seen an office worker sitting down in a cafe at that time, they tend to go for a takeaway coffee plus a sandwich or Croissant, I believe most offices have kitchen facilities these days, where the microwave gets a good bashing, tea/coffee also made on site.

I am British and used to have toast - but as I have got older the sweet tooth has come in and I love pancakes, bacon and syrup - but I do use the fruit derived ones rather than just liquid sugar 😅. I have this at the weekend.

Are you sure you are British, Pancakes Bacon and Syrup ?

British born, but raised in Canada. My dad often made porridge for breakfast, but he did not often make it well! So I lost my taste for it at a very young age. I always eat breakfast though - usually a bowl of cereal. On special days like holidays, I will make pancakes or waffles with real maple syrup. Juice to start, bacon, and tea at the end. Sometimes I'll put frozen fruit in the pancake batter. Or cinnamon. As a shift worker, though, sometimes my breakfast could be a supper time. :)

Porridge or Greek yoghurt with blueberries and honey are my go to. Nutrition bomb and filling. A full English on a rare occasion when I have the time to make it.

I tend to eat streaky bacon but to help my arteries I buy the very thin pancetta style and cook them until crispy in my air fryer..

Porridge with blueberries and raspberries. Rolled Oates and Irish Oates with unsweetened almond milk to be pre-diabetic compliant.

UK here. Porridge for weekday breakfast. Fruit and/or golden syrup optional.

I'm retired and my usual breakfast is porridge, made with oats and water, with a sprinkling of dried fruit. I would love to have a full English (or Scottish), but coronary bypass surgery 5 years ago has made me more cautious about fatty food.

Great vlog Alanna ❤ I have a sweet tooth so I prefer the American breakfast. Pancakes 🥞 and bacon 🥓 with warm maple syrup...lush 😍 As I have my breakfast once I get to work it's either a porridge pot or a yoghurt with some grapes and nuts thrown in, not the most exciting of breakfasts 😂 While holidaying in Florida, one day we went to Dennys for breakfast, there was a chap at the next table eating steak 🥩...for breakfast 😲 I'm sure he would of loved the good old British fry up 🍳🥓🍞

Judging from the amount of emojis, by 'work', you mean 'school'?

@sardonicus1966 3 месяца назад

Full English with black pudding, bubble and maybe a cheeky hash brown is my absolute favourite, especially from Pellicci's in Bethnal Green, London. What I actually have every day is Bran Flakes with berries....😂

@EmilyCheetham 3 месяца назад

I rarely eat breakfast buy my mum has either fruits with Greek yogurt for her breakfast OR porridge & my dad has either wheetabix or porridge. If I do have breakfast I have crunchy nut cornflakes OR if I’m on holiday/at a hotel I’ll have a full English.

@johnsmith-ky5qg 25 дней назад

When working (now retired) my breakfast was almost always 2 cups of tea washing down two slices of toast. The idea of putting syrup near ANY savoury food makes my flesh creep. In retirement I can either have a fry up, Eggs, bacon, sausages with tomatoes and toast/fried bread and lots of tea....or a bowl of Rice Krispies with milk NO sugar added.

I always thought crumpets were the equivalent of our English muffins in America. Boy was i wrong! Crumpets are divine though. ❤

@wearetomorrowspast.5617 3 месяца назад

A great Welsh breakfast is Bara te. Take a bowl, chuck in crusty chopped up bread, a good strong cheese, cut to thumb sized blocks and pour in the tea of choice.

@johnspear3452 3 месяца назад

My usual is some brioche as easy to eat driving to work. On days off, i love an eggs benedict, kippers are good and if only i could find somewhere that serves kedgeree. So savoury for the win.

@t.a.k.palfrey3882 3 месяца назад

My absolute favourite breakfast is Finnan Haddock with a soft poached egg, with wholegrain toast and butter on the side. I rarely get the chance to savour this these days, but it was a Sunday staple when I was at school. I do like a short stack & maple syrup with crispy bacon when I'm in Canada, though. In the US, I opt for country hash browns with bacon and two eggs SSU. Decently brewed Kenya Highland Arabica is a must too!! 😋🤗

@MarkGovier 3 месяца назад

Porridge (oatmeal for the foreigners). Add some dried fruit (not too much) and quarter teaspoon of mixed spice. made with milk. That’s if I want anything more than a glass of water.

@stevewesley3841 21 день назад

Work days - toast with pate and a cup of tea. Weekends - toasted egg and bacon sandwich..

@jefftucker975 3 месяца назад

My ultimate, once or twice a month, would be: corned beef hash, 2 eggs (over easy), hash browns, and either sourdough or rye toast. Then at home Breakfast varies between cereal, toast, scrambled egg sandwich with cheese, and then anything left over from the night before or whatever tickles my fancy that morning.
