The "Full English" essential components...

[Dibble]

Following on from the "Picture of your breakfast" thread, and the discussions thrown up there about what is, or isn't, acceptable in a full English, I thought I'd run a poll...

My choice would be:

• Sausages
• Bacon
• Black pudding
• Fried eggs
• Fried bread
• Baked beans
• Mushrooms
• Toast
• Bread
• Potato cake
• Pint of tea

I realise the condiments is a whole separate argument, so I've left it to the main constituents, some of which have had to be lumped together. Damn you, Haymarket, and your restrictive poll conditions!

Never mind that, more worrying is the fact that the poll shows eggs as the favourite ingredient in a full English!

You seem to have missed chips off your list.

[redtwin]

If the "Potato Cake" option included other potato products I would have included it in my vote.

Exactly. MY list.







Go on then, I'll edit it.

Mmmm. I missing a full english. Fish and chips, TVRs, decent roads and full english - wot I miss about the UK.

[Truckosaurus]

No Brown Sauce/Red Sauce/Mustard options? For Shame!

[Shaw Tarse]

Could do with oatcakes

[^Slider^]

All bar black pudding.

Dibble, you opening a cafe?

[Cotty]

My choice would be:

• Sausages
• Bacon
• Black pudding
• Fried eggs
• Mushrooms
• Pint of tea

I like to vary things so the odd hash brown might make an appearance, as do potato cakes and bubble & squeak. Mushrooms might vary from button to chestnut. I am strugling to find decent bacon so might replace that with a gammon steak next time.

No sliced Haggis?

I'm upset.

[Shaolin]

Ok c'mon who thinks a Full English doesn't need bacon or egg? eh? stop hiding - show yourselves.

I don't think Nolar is worried about following rules.

fking chips on a fry up, that's sacrilegious.

You need charger plates (or at the very least a Cotty-esque plat de le scam) but:

4 Rashers Hand Cut Smoked Back Bacon
4 Sausages (I favour a Pork and Leek)
Half a ring pudding, sliced length ways
Two eggs
Fried Slice
Beans
Pint of tea

Mushrooms and hash browns could possibly make an appearance but aren't the cornerstones of a fry up like everything else listed.

Tomato ketchup (I'm of the correct latitude, thanks) ideally squeezed out of a plastic tomato and white, not black pepper all over the pudding.

Served with a dessert of the sunday papers and a snooze before starting on Sunday lunch.

Bliss.
