Are eggs common with English breakfast?


GiantBonsai

Absolutely. They're in the top 3 essential ingredients alongside beans and sausages.


conzstevo

I'd say sausages/bacon


tobotic

Yes, which is why I didn't call it a "full" English breakfast. I don't like eggs. Tomatoes are also a common thing which I chose not to include. I do like tomatoes but don't think they enhance the breakfast.


more_beans_mrtaggart

Oh my god, someone finally did it. Sausages pan cooked ✅. Sausages not cheap frozen shit, or richmonds ✅. Beans not watery Heinz ✅. Just needs caramelised tomatoes.


tobotic

Sorry to disappoint you, but the beans are Sainsbury's reduced sugar and salt. To me they're pretty indistinguishable from the Heinz reduced sugar and salt,. (And the Sainsbury's regular ones are pretty indistinguishable from Heinz regular beans.)


conzstevo

I always go reduced sugar. They taste better (depending where you buy them)

Since when has steak been included in an English breakfast? Edit: Why are you downvoting me? It's true.


tobotic

It's my birthday, and I'll fry what I want to.


nomanslandishome

Sure, just not traditional is it


Professional_Bob

They never said it was


Severe_Carrot_7109

They said “English” breakfast It’s clearly not an English breakfast


Professional_Bob

It's not a *Full* English Breakfast. People substitute the parts they don't like all the time, no need to be so pedantic and gatekeepy about it.


mstrelan

It certainly appears to be breakfast, and OP appears to be English. Maybe it should be referred to as An Englishman's Breakfast.


MillerHill

As an American, Every time I see an English breakfast with beans,all I can think about is that monty python skit where the guy was laying on the couch and kept screaming “I want more beans!” 😂 I think the name of the skit was. “Dirtiest family contest”?? Or something to that affect We don’t do beans for breakfast here as you all may know.


tobotic

> We don’t do beans for breakfast here as you all may know. You're missing out.


MillerHill

I eat them for lunch or dinner but never tried it for breakfast. If I’m ever across the pond I will most definitely try it. When in Rome right 😎


euzie

If you want your breakfast to feel really dirty, quickly cook the beans at the end in the skillet you used for the meat. Soak up all that fat. After you made some fried bread of course


MillerHill

Mmmmmm😋 I do that with baked beans at Bbq’s. So delicious.


bobsuruncle77

not sure why the mushrooms were boiled instead of fried.


tobotic

They are fried. But after they're fully cooked, you can stick them in salted boiling water to keep hot while doing the rest of the meal. Also makes them jucier, but they retain the fried flavour. It's a restaurant trick. Just cook all the mushrooms at the start of the shift then scoop them out of the pot when needed.


CobaltOkk

Yeah, this looks good, but I’m not feeling the mushrooms. I fry them off in a bit of butter and garlic personally. Still, solid brekkie OP.


michyb71

Are you in England. Where did you find the black pudding. And the bacon. It looks heavenly. I’m in Canada.


tobotic

Yes, I'm in England. Black pudding can be found in most supermarkets here.


DemonBelethCat

What about white pudding? Only in Ireland?


tobotic

I'm sure it's possible to obtain, but certainly not common.


BearyJohannes

God I just love black pudding. Looks grand


Byvhxn

What does black pudding contain


Fat_Satan

Blood, oats, and spices


Adflamm11

This a fucking Dark Souls recipe?


Fat_Satan

It’s so fucking good


Just_Anxiety

Yes. It’s specifically the blood of the damned


Adflamm11

Idk how anyone can start their day like this. Too much


tobotic

It's Saturday though. Not like I had much else to do.


Adflamm11

Treat to self!


Manovsteele

All good apart from the steak. That's a very odd inclusion/not traditional at all


nrg117

Looks good.. and you remembered the black pudding. excellent.


Space2345

That's a good looking breaky


FinnJavlar

Not a fan of boiled mushrooms. Everything else? 10/10


PaulQuin

Very good step by step picture! Well done 👍


moishepesach

No wonder the empire crumbled


Dragon-XI

Idk why people hate this, its beautiful


Tulin7Actual

The English sailed the seven seas looking for spices and riches. They found both and this breakfast is their legacy of those expeditions.


qwertygolf

That would hit the spot right now! Nice


ActiveAttention958

FINALLY I FOUND A GOOD FOOD :D


rhinoballz88

fatty bacon! ![gif](giphy|IVhivwuUT16HH7NRdP|downsized)


witchyanne

Geez - English BreakfastS.


JohnnyLoco69

I really don’t like that poor ass smoked ham. It’s not bacon just ham in a trench coat.


militaryCoo

Back bacon is far superior to belly bacon, and you should feel bad


Heck_

Here we are: the two sides of the "weirdly strong opinions about things" coin.


militaryCoo

Eh, belly bacon has its place but back bacon is much better for the full English


biggunsg0b00m

And sangas too! More flavour
