WHAT IS THE BEST FRIED BREAKFAST IN THE BRITISH ISLES?
Well, the key thing about a Full English is the variety within it. Ultimately it’s personal preference. I will not eat black pudding on any account (just answered a question similar) and these days we are health freaks so a lot of things which made up the traditional breakfast are now not chosen e.g. fried bread. So, for instance, I will have 2 grilled rashers of back bacon, a fried egg on dry toast, tinned tomatoes and brown sauce. If I eat sausages they will be the low fat variety. I like mushrooms too -but would never fry them as they soak up so much fat. I love the way Americans serve a Full English (very streaky bacon, flipped over fried eggs) and fried potatoes. What I can’t stand is the way they they put pancakes and syrup on the same plate. Ugh!!! I’ve aquired a real liking for toast and grape jelly (instead of marmalade) – but on a separate plate! I think Eggs Benedict are truly the most disgusting thing ever invented -but that’s just me. Also very popular as part of an Englis
