I love breakfast. Mostly I love breakfast for dinner. When I make an English breakfast I have; bacon, sausages, fried eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, hash browns and toast.

I tried making an American style breakfast the other day with bacon, french toast and hash browns. I even had maple syrup. It felt quite small though, what was I missing? What does everyone else like for their cooked breakfasts?

A couple of slices each of square (Lorne) sausage, black pudding and bacon. With fried egg, mushrooms and maybe a wee bit of baked beans.

Big mug of tea and white bread to mop up.

BUURRRRRRRP!

i love a fry up Smile that, the roast dinner and the nhs are what make me proud of this country Laughing

its got to be 2 sausages, 2 bits of smoked bacon with a nice bit of fat on, egg, baked beans, mushrooms - done in a little bit of butter and garlic with parsley, chopped tomatoes - with a little bit of red chili ( just for a bit of zing ), toast with proper butter - none of that plasticy marg nonsense. now and then i'll have some black pudding, but i rarely have any sort of potato thing - i did have some waffles a while back, but they weren't very nice.

heres one i prepared earlier

For me a typical "American" style breakfast is eggs, scrambled, toast (not French), bacon (turkey bacon for me now), hashbrowns, and some pancakes or waffles. I also like a nice cheese omelet or my eggs over easy. There are two great greasy spoons near us called 'DeLuca's' and 'Pamela's' Pamela's has the best pancakes and potatoes with the eggs etc and DeLuca's has the best sausage and waffles. Of course, you can also get a cheeseburger or ice cream and pancakes for breakfast at DeLuca's as well LOL

My ideal would be:

Smoked lean back bacon, cooked well, but not crispy; some baked beans; a fried large green sliced tom, or some fried red cherry toms; a Linconshire sausage; two slices of white bread fried separately and slowly in extra virgin olive oil; a lump of fluffy scrambled eggs and a whole mocca of really good black coffee. All covered in heaps of freshly-ground black pepper (except the coffee). Accompanied by watching a previously unseen episode of QI-extended, while the wife takes the dog out for a walk and leaves me in peace, coming back when it's time for her to wash-up.
Very Happy

In my current Austria place of employment they do a pudding for the main course (as an option) every Friday. Today it was 5 fried balls of dough with a jam sauce.

Calorifico!

It's a pancake sundae and as eefan said, it was a birthday breakfast. However, you can order those everyday at DeLuca's YUM!
