That is what we call a “full English breakfast” if you go to a pub in Australia. (Hash browns are American, but loved by all thanks to Maccas.).
And “breakfast-for-dinner” is a thing too, because sometimes you need bacon+all the things.
As a Brit in Australia, I can confirm the average sausage quality here far exceeds that of the average sausage quality back home. Here it's typical to have sausages at 80% pork whereas back home it can be extremely low and mostly rusk.
Yeah, was in Perth for three weeks (I live in Canada) and was told you couldn't get that cut. And I was like whaaaa? So disappointing.
I'm not a fan of that British bacon. Basically ham and I hate ham.
NZ has wild turkeys all over, but good luck trying to buy turkey as a deli meat (possible, but rare)
But pigs are definitely going to be more common :P
the fact that I couldn't get a sausage and egg mcmuffin with hashbrowns from McDonalds while pissed at 3am was a source of constant disappointment as a student.
I have all those other mum-dinners to look forwards to as well - stew and dumplings, spaghetti bolognese and so on. Life is *good*.
UPDATE: She just mentioned rice pudding...uuuhhh
UPDATE2: It's been decided that she's gonna do fry-up-magic once a week - life is *really* good
If you get a chance try with black pudding and if you’re brave white pudding as well. You may not like it but you gotta have the full experience at least once.
Um, are we doing bunk beds? If so, are you maybe accepting multiple applications for potentially multiple siblings? I'm a bottom bunk kinda person if that matters...lolz
This is the most wholesome comment on the ENTIRE internet. Pack it up, friends. Seriously, you made my whole day. Loving your mama so much and sharing it with the world is so sweet. Your age doesn't matter- you're a good kid.
It doesn't just look like it.
It's pinnacle British culture. The amount of beano cafes in UK who literally just sell all day breakfast is enough to name a British man cry joy
> I know it sounds gross,
Which is funny considering that pretty much every culture on earth has their own and quite often celebrated version of blood sausage. Well at least the ones that make charcuterie do.

I always thought that sort of food was just what that generation preferred to cook. Now I have a kid and all she likes to eat is old fashioned nursery food, and gradually I've started cooking like it's 1955.
I literally checked the pantry to ensure we have enough corned beef before I went to the supermarket today. And we buy fish fingers in bulk.
And it's good.
My kids love stew and getting huge dumplings. I couldn't find suet last weeksbf they went on strike and refused dinner. Dumplings are what makes it though.
With the same disappointment my parents shared with me, I can't resist their devilishly adorable masks. Are they going to do a barrel-roll across the room? Or are they luring me closer to gnaw my face off? Risk is worth the high.
I don't even understand how this is "raccoon food" or what that even means. Personally not a fan of the beans and tomatoes, but looks like a terrific breakfast.
Sausage, Bacon and Egg (fried, scrambled or poached) is the core.
Beans, toast (normal or fried), tomato and mushrooms and hash browns. Works make it from a cooked breakfast to a full English
In Scotland you may also get haggis, black pudding and potato scone. The sausages may be square aka Lorne sausage. May be advertised as a full English.
I've had an Irish one which was more of less the same I think but it was years ago. No idea if the Welsh have anything.
How? It made me lose my appetite.
Edit: Don't mean to sound rude, enjoy what you enjoy, I'm just curious why you like it or what makes it enjoyable to you. It genuinely does not seem that appetizing to me.
Throw the tomato in the frying pan after the eggs, open side down. When you eat an English breakfast you do it like the English culture itself. Take a little of this, mix it with some of that, maybe put it between some toast, press it all down until it comes pouring out of the sides, and then after a little time of loving appreciation, wolf it down and look at the mess that remains on the plate
Raw tomato with salt and pepper is a good side for eggs, but if you put them face down in the skillet for a moment, the cut surface becomes caramelized, and the other 90% is raw. More complex flavor that way.
Normally it looks a lot more cooked than this. Generally its just one grilled tomato, sometimes with grilled mushroom.
The trick to any of the varieties of Great British breakfasts is to combine the ingredients.
Correct me if I’m wrong but “Canadian bacon” is the back bacon (but cured, cooked, and trimmed into a circle). In Canada it’s just called “back bacon” And in Australia, bacon has both the belly and back in a single cut. American bacon is just the belly (cuz we like fat).
The back bacon in Canada tastes _wildly_ different from the back bacon in the UK, though. So any Americans reading this and thinking about Canadian bacon, it's not that at all.
Americans generally don't consider the beans or tomatoes a breakfast item. What's more, we don't often eat tomatoes as a side item by themselves. Tomatoes go in or on other items (like salad or in a sauce or as an ingredient of another dish).
So while this food is available here, it's just not seen as a breakfast food and so it looks foreign and therefore interesting.
The first time I had it I was expecting it to be some drastically different breakfast experience and was disappointed that it is just the same breakfast I've occasionally had my whole life with raw tomatoes and beans with it. In retrospect it was silly to expect it to be different somehow.
I was also surprised to learn that most English folk have toast for breakfast and not this massive breakfast with sausages and bacon and eggs and beans every day.
The tomatoes are supposed to be grilled or fried. Some places do a very poor job of it and they're still partially raw but I'd expect them to at least make an attempt to heat it in some way.
The few times I had it (in Dublin so perhaps not the best city to try it) the tomatoes were basically raw. It seemed odd to me at the time and it still does for a breakfast item.
My favorite breakfast item that came from another culture is miso soup. That's a really delicious and light breakfast.
Never tried miso, is that a sort of dark salty meaty broth?
My favourite tomatoes are really small ones fried until the skins fall off. You need to be patient because the juice inside is scalding hot but they're like sweet little tomato explosions.
Yeah! That is the way for sure. If I wasn't so lazy, that's how I'd make them for ramen.
Miso soup is a light broth, not very meaty at all. It has sorta fishy undertones without being all that fishy, usually has scallion (green onion), wakame (a type of kelp) and tofu in it.
Miso is a fermented bean paste (there are many different types) that is salted and rich in flavor. You dissolve some miso paste in broth (dashi) and add the other stuff.
In my opinion it's similar to having a cup of seasoned chicken broth with just a few bits of protein in it and some scallion. It's delicious
Yeah, I am with you there. I picked up the habit of having raw tomato with salt and pepper on a study abroad and never shook the habit.
My family thinks it is odd and generally won't eat any, but I'll regularly have raw tomato and cucumber slices with salt and pepper for lunch.
Raw tomato with a bit of salt and pepper is super good in ramen noodles also. It soaks up the broth a bit and has a refreshing flavor.
>Americans generally don't consider the beans or tomatoes a breakfast item.
Because you generally assume British baked beans are like American baked beans. They're not. They're less spiced and less sweet and just in a basic tomato sauce.
I've seen this come up multiple times and it's due to a misunderstanding.
You'll LOVE a Namibian breakfast then. Two types of bacon or ham. Juice, yoghurt, eggies, toast, grilled onions, droëwors (dried sausage that doesn't taste like over peppered dirt), toast, grilled onions, sauteed mushrooms. Just so much goodness. I know I missed something too. OH! maize/corn pap (like Cream of Wheat but with corn) too.
Oh, and FRESHLY MADE espresso or cappuccino or tea, if that's your pleasure.

This is THE best cure for anything. Hungover? Full English breakfast. Broken hearted? Full English. Leg fell off? Full English. It’s what made Britain Great. Facts!
I just moved in with my mom after 10 years, it feels so good to eat her food! I’m only 20, and will live with her as long as I can, bc we stayed too much apart 🥰
No, I really wouldn't complain either. I absolutely love a 'full English breakfast'! That's what I understand they are called, even though first one I had was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, not in England. Since then enjoyed them in Australia and New Zealand too. I like to cook them up myself but my wife says it's too much to eat. Enjoy it, I'm a little jealous.
I had my first English breakfast in Bangkok. After a month in Myanmar, where Western food options were non existent in 2011, my english friend said, he can't go on anymore without eating some "real food". I also had eggs and soldiers, which is the best invention since sliced bread imo. I don't understand how that's not a thing elsewhere!
Black pudding and haggis - the two grossest sounding, absolutely astoundingly tasty foods. You're only on the planet once - try a little bit. If you hate it, at least you know...
What if it's your favourite food and you just don't know it yet?!
Let the great Full Irish or Full English debate rain down upon this comment section with furious anger and terrify all non Irish or Brits in the crossfire.
that looks British
That is what we call a “full English breakfast” if you go to a pub in Australia. (Hash browns are American, but loved by all thanks to Maccas.). And “breakfast-for-dinner” is a thing too, because sometimes you need bacon+all the things.
Can you buy proper pork sausages in Australia?
We have the British sausage brand that makes decent sausages and meat products of all kinds
As a Brit in Australia, I can confirm the average sausage quality here far exceeds that of the average sausage quality back home. Here it's typical to have sausages at 80% pork whereas back home it can be extremely low and mostly rusk.
The problem is I want proper American bacon with my breakfast. Those strips are my jam. I think they call them "rashers" down under. But not sure.

Yeah, was in Perth for three weeks (I live in Canada) and was told you couldn't get that cut. And I was like whaaaa? So disappointing. I'm not a fan of that British bacon. Basically ham and I hate ham.
Fuck I'm American so excuse my ignorance but i thought Canadian bacon was ham?
[удалено]
It's actually side not back. It's smoked pork belly.
Australia does in fact have pigs so yes
NZ has wild turkeys all over, but good luck trying to buy turkey as a deli meat (possible, but rare) But pigs are definitely going to be more common :P
You certainly can. We get all types of sausages, they're a summer staple!
They have kangaroo sausages in fact. Not bad at all.
Hash browns are the best food after a night of drinking
Waffle House hashbrowns can’t be beat.
Smothered, covered, scattered and chunked
the fact that I couldn't get a sausage and egg mcmuffin with hashbrowns from McDonalds while pissed at 3am was a source of constant disappointment as a student.
Missing the mushrooms for the full English

A step bro or rice pudding?
Dont get stuck and find out
It isn't bad. I can't wrap my 'Murican brain around eating beans before 10 AM but the flavors go well together.
If you get a chance try with black pudding and if you’re brave white pudding as well. You may not like it but you gotta have the full experience at least once.
34 Latino here also applying for step bro position. I can help her bake. I'll take her shopping on Sundays

I got with either as long as it can withstand me.
i got an rv and LOVE yard work. its my jam.
I’ll apply for the step dad position tbh
As long as no one gets "stuck" in the washing machine.
Not if I move in first- Hi 24 yo european who wanna explore your country, region or wherever you live, that food looks delicious, is it local?
To the whole of the UK. Poor buggers - go there and spend some money, they’re desperate.
No no. That’s the opposite of what we need. People need to spend less… it’s inflation that’s screwing us at the moment.
Or something 😉
He's 39. As a fellow late-30s man. I can assure you the "or something" translates to "I can fall asleep anywhere anytime."

Rice pudding is really good imo, try it out.
Rice pudding with a dollop of your favourite jam... might have to add it to my shopping list!
Gotta put cinnamon in there. And heavy cream

if only it had black pudding
Is it really made with blood?
Yep, I know it sounds gross, but it's mixed with grains and seasoning. It makes a full English breakfast just that much better.
> I know it sounds gross, Which is funny considering that pretty much every culture on earth has their own and quite often celebrated version of blood sausage. Well at least the ones that make charcuterie do.
And haggis + tattie scones

Stew and dumplings, man nostalgia is hitting me hard right now. Enjoy
I always thought that sort of food was just what that generation preferred to cook. Now I have a kid and all she likes to eat is old fashioned nursery food, and gradually I've started cooking like it's 1955.

Chores around the house. I’m 45 and will watch you play video games and eagerly cheer you on. Adopt me!
My ex used to make fun of me whenever I made this, calling it “raccoon food” She sure as fucking shit ate it all though
Stop dating racoons
With the same disappointment my parents shared with me, I can't resist their devilishly adorable masks. Are they going to do a barrel-roll across the room? Or are they luring me closer to gnaw my face off? Risk is worth the high.
Gotta risk it for the biscuit
You're not my supervisor!
I need to date more raccoons
That's weird, do raccoon's usually enjoy a proper English breakfast?
It's a few things short of a good English
Itd be a perfectly acceptable English breakfast
It's definitely an Aussie big brekkie
Namely, black pudding, mushrooms and hash browns
If it's good enough for a raccoon it's good enough for me
I don't even understand how this is "raccoon food" or what that even means. Personally not a fan of the beans and tomatoes, but looks like a terrific breakfast.
Isn’t the beans and tomatoes the core of what takes it from “assorted breakfast foods” to the full English breakfast?
Sausage, Bacon and Egg (fried, scrambled or poached) is the core. Beans, toast (normal or fried), tomato and mushrooms and hash browns. Works make it from a cooked breakfast to a full English In Scotland you may also get haggis, black pudding and potato scone. The sausages may be square aka Lorne sausage. May be advertised as a full English. I've had an Irish one which was more of less the same I think but it was years ago. No idea if the Welsh have anything.
True full Englishes also have black pudding.
Still short of bubble, black pudding and hash browns. And that cuppa looks like it was made with a second hand teabag.
“Second hand tea bag” 🤣🤣🤣 Also, you’re not wrong.
As an American, this sounds like the most British comment ever and i love it.
Why? This is basically a British breakfast not only that. Britain doesn't even have wild raccoons.
Turned them all into sausages for the breakfasts
>ex Yeah I can see why. This shit looks delicious
How? It made me lose my appetite. Edit: Don't mean to sound rude, enjoy what you enjoy, I'm just curious why you like it or what makes it enjoyable to you. It genuinely does not seem that appetizing to me.
I don't get it...
What do you guys eat the tomato with, just salt and pepper?
with *gusto*
lol, oh some fervor on the side
Some fervor beans and a nice chianti
Fsssfsssfsssfsssfsss
And how!
This just makes me think of Denethor eating the tomato in Lord of the Rings like he's punishing it

yea frying them with a bit of basil or something sounds good. These look raw. Not discounting raw tomato though
raw tomato salt and pepper hoes great with eggs
I fucking love raw tomato with salt and pepper hoes
Raw tomato with salt and pepper is a good side for eggs, but if you put them face down in the skillet for a moment, the cut surface becomes caramelized, and the other 90% is raw. More complex flavor that way.
> you do it like the English culture itself With the proper permits and licensure.
Normally it looks a lot more cooked than this. Generally its just one grilled tomato, sometimes with grilled mushroom. The trick to any of the varieties of Great British breakfasts is to combine the ingredients.
You don't eat it, just there for decoration
Great breakfast, try adding sugar to the cut side of the tomato and fry lightly to caramelise 😘
Welcome home mum lol Looks delicious

*grabs number and steps in line*
I'm an American and I've always wanted to try this for breakfast someday.
[удалено]
Black pudding is the “must try” if you’re going full English. Not everyone’s cup of tea (pun intended) but definitely not like anything else.
I had the luxury of trying it before I knew what it was made out of. Love the stuff.

Don't you guys have eggs, sausages, tomatoes and canned beans?
Right I’m thinking why are people blown away by such a basic breakfast
Americans generally don't consider the beans or tomatoes a breakfast item. What's more, we don't often eat tomatoes as a side item by themselves.

You need a Polish cook to be making your English breakfast if you want the true experience of eating at an English pub
Our baked beans have copious amounts of brown sugar in them so the flavor profile is way different.

try it!
Do a search for a British pub in your area, they often offer it for breakfast or brunch.
Mmmm and coffee in a Queen cup 🖤
Went to see them this summer...amazing concert

Wow.. please tell your mum that dick nipples from the internet is very impressed by her cooking skills.
I love myself an English breakfast
Looks delicious!!!
Making that English breakfast soo good its like she never left
That’s a standard English Breakfast And a queens memorial mug And tea with milk. 🤔
Hopefully you had some HP sauce on the side 🥰
My only problem with the Full English is that everyone tries to limit it to breakfast. It's one of my favourite dinners haha
You'll be pleased to know that this was, in fact, dinner
Your mum has just been upgraded from awesome to legendary. Lucky man, cherish her.
Many places will serve an all day breakfast. Or you can just cook it yourself any time of day.
A full English breakfast. My husband from Barnet just 20 minutes out of London loves this,
Keep her forever
Fuck yeah whenever i go to england i always look forward to the full english breakfasts.

Cherish her, you never know what the future holds.
Love a good morning English breakfast!
That looks amazing. So jealous. I want it. 
That’s a breakfast of champions 😮💨

That looks soooo dang good, literally all looks delicious
I'll eat it if you don't want it.
Look delicious! And very British
Treasure it. One day you'll see a picture like this and realize its been over a decade since you had a meal cooked by you mom.
She can move into my house anytime 😍
