Tea's got too much milk in it, toast looks like it was cooked with a light bulb and black pudding remains wrong, no matter how tasty it may be - I just can't get over the idea of eating blood. However I'll happily eat snouts, trotters and aholes in a sausage so the hypocrisy is strong.

Still, 8.9/10 from me.

The tea is strong. Its the pic letting it down.

I have no excuse for the toast.

Black pudding is vital to a FEB. If you like offal I can happily do one with kidney and sweetbreads.

I agree, black pudding is required to complete a breakfast, and white pudding too if available. I prefer the Irish breakfast to the English, which has puddings, and leftover spuds that are peeled, sliced and fried.

My ideal breakfast:
2 sausages
2 bacon
2 fried eggs
Good dollop of beans (nice and reduced)
Smaller dollop of tinned tomatoes
Fried spuds
A few slices of black and white pudding
Cheap white sliced toast with plenty of lurpak.

Cup or 2 of builders-spc tea.

Magic.

My only objection to that would be the tinned toms, but it's a personal thing, either you do or you don't.

White pud, tried the local butcher's offering ( ooh er stop sniggering) and was completely underwhelmed, quite tasteless, just some sort of fried discs of unidentifiable substance. Is there some recommended version to try? For the record the butcher is an excellent one, black pudding for example is superb. Dry cured hand cut bacon, mmmmmmm, etc.

....With red and brown sauce.

Booth’s own pork sausages, sliced white bloomer, salted butter (the merest scrape...). Ketchup added after photo.

Yes, the snags on the left look particularly underdone, but they were fine. They’d already had about 30 minutes in the oven and I was too hungry to wait any longer.



I shall readily admit that this is not my best work.

Had grandson over last night, did warn his mum he may not want much for tea....

Very impressive. So impressive I'm prepared to overlook the black square plates, the toast not cut on the diagonal and the reference to 'tea'. Brilliant work, and your grandson will hopefully catch the brilliant breakfast bug.

+1.

Superb work. But get those beans in a low pan when you start the sausages, and put those plates in the bin to keep gone.

Used a black plate as I know how much love for them there is in this thread :-) He wanted the toast done that way for making a breakfast sandwich in only the way a 10 year old can and blame "tea" on living up north for the last 15 years...

Top marks for starting him young. He'll need the head start to learn all of the rules laid out by the grandfathers of the sport.

Whats with the waffles, they look dirtier that usual.

They are "Mini Hash Brown Waffles" from Aldi, first time I've seen them so thought worth a go at least - they have the texture / crispness of a hash brown but shaped like a mini waffles instead, not tried one yet but grandson raved about them.

Quick and easy this morning - just some streaky bacon and some pancetta hiding under the egg.

[Sticks.]

Fancied a quickie yesterday. Bread looks dry but wasn't. Ketchup and mustard

The runny shot



(Bacon doesn't look cooked in that shot but it's just the light).

Yolk in the crook of thumb and forefinger - yep, that's where it always seems to end up!

Sorry, yoke, my mistake

I've got some Tesco sausage patties to try at some point.

[Gluggy]

Another total disaster - broke both duck eggs and 0/10 for presentation.....



On the plus side, reduced beans and no black plates :-)

[SpeckledJim]

I like it. It's happy.
