Did full English brekkies ever have fried bread? Has that now been replaced by toast or the hash browns? I remember having fried bread when I was a little girl. I'm now 51, it was a long time ago!!

If she has 25% and you have 66% who has the remaining 9%?

I just don't like them with breakfast. When did they become a traditional part of an English breakfast?

That must make your hands messy.

I'd take beans over tomatoes but wouldn't be too bothered if beans weren't available.

I'd rather have homecooked chips over hash browns but again wouldn't be too bothered.

I love baked beans but NOT with a full English.

Yes but it depends if the place offers it.
Personally I prefer buttered white sliced.

See post #31. Of course breakfast includes fried bread! What eegit wouldn't?!

[gottago]

I like baked beans, it's when they use canned tomatoes that really, really gets my goat. I can only handle a grilled tomato, anything else is minging.

I hate baked beans so much I can't put it into words.

I make a big point of saying no beans on my breakfast, sometimes a place will offer an extra hash brown or more tomato, thats cool, if not, then thats cool too; it's my issue that I won't eat beans.

One time I was with the OH and my folks, in a cafe and they brought out four brekkies all with baked beans. I said I'm I didn't want beans and sent it back.

Waitress was a bit off, as if to say well you've paid for it, just leave them.

NO, don't want to see beans and their sauce flowing towards my bacon.

Sorry, bit weird about baked beans

[Rab64]

NO The only way I can eat beans, is on toast

[Lushness]

If I'm making it myself I will most certainly have beans. I pimp mine up a bit too with some onion and a few drops of hot pepper sauce.

[ladyloulou]

I dont mind the beans but it makes me gag when they put them over the fried bread making it soggy

[Bingette]

I prefer chooped tomatoes with mine

[SuperDude95]

I love beans with a full English breakfast

[Lain Andrews]

Mushrooms and black pudding? Yukk

[Richieboy87]

Aye I do

[fizzle90]

Bacon, eggs, thin cumberland sausage, fried bread, beans, hash browns, soda bread, potato cakes, toast and lots and lots of brown sauce, and a cuppa tea. Bliss!!

[SULLA]

My choice

Two/three sausages
Two/three rashers of lean back bacon
Two fried eggs
Two/threeHash browns
Baked Beans...Not runny
Grilled mushrooms
Grilled tomato
Two dry toast
Coffee.

selection of newspapers while you are waiting

Don't like black pudding or butter on the toast because I'm on a diet

I have found that most cafes that advertise all day breakfasts close at 2.0pm

I think most people think of the amount of fat/oil in one slice and give it a miss. Love it as a treat once in a while though.

The problem, I find, with a lot of cafes, butty bars etc, is that the oil is not hot enough when they fry the bread.

If the oil is hot enough it only needs about 15 seconds on each side and absorbs little oil. Heat too low and it just sucks up the oil. Several times I've just left the fried bread served with a breakfast. Sent it back on occasion as you could ring it out.

It still isn't something I'd have every day. I agree it's a treat.
But done right and it's excellent.

Sausage
Bacon
Beans
Tomatoes
Fried bread
Mushrooms
Fried potatoes if i have some spare from yesterdays meal
Bread and butter
Mug of tea.
I cant eat egg as i'm allergic to them, so if we are having breakfast out, i always ask for the egg to be replaced with extra mushrooms or something.

I can't think of any other foodstuff that has risen so steeply, so quickly

Beans have been cheap for years, my friends in Idaho grow them and recently have been getting better prices. They say it's because of demand from poorer countries due to crop failures caused by extreme weather.
A bit of useless information, I believe the English are one of ,if not the biggest consumers of Baked Beans in the world.

Nobody has mentioned "Bubble & Squeak"

I love beans with full English, hat I can't stand is if the juice drips on the edge of the plate. Drives me nuts

[muddipaws]

A twist os beans on toast add hot Tabasco sauce to the beans and either toast or make a fantastic toasted sandwich

I prefer two rashers of bacon, one sausages scrambled or poached egg, beans, mushrooms and two slices of buttered toast. It's either brown sauce for me or Worcestershire sauce
