Louisa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I always love a holiday in Maspalomas cos there is a cafe I go to which does a full Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Ulster fry, and regional English breakfasts. All on the same menu! Ahh happy times. Louisa.

Louisa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I don't get why people are so hung up on a posh josh sausage. Nothing wrong with a mostly bread and rusk sausage that's smothered in sauce. Opting for an expensive sausage will inevitably up the price of the whole breakfast, which to me destroys the down to earth nature of a fry up. Louisa.

Louisa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Now if you said bacon I'd totally understand. But sausage? Who knows or cares what the filling is as long as the sawdust is well processed and seasoned to hide any other dubious tastes :) Louisa.

KidKruger Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm with you on sausages to a point Louisa but once in a while they are SO bad that they don't really pass as a sausage just because of their shape. A non-shite sausage doesn't have to be gourmet.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Poor second rate sauce (red and brown), terrible sausages that are longer than the plate and non Heinz beans are 3 things that go a little way to ruining my brekkie. Always trade the sausage.Haggis, along with black pudd makes a rare treat with any brekkie. No chance of finding that on any of the fluorescent stars that act as a menu around here though.Don?t get me started about chippies!

Horsebox Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 After reading this thread I gave in to gluttony and went to the work canteen for double bacon and black pudding sandwich with brown sauce.Stuffed.

numbers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 No one has mentioned the brekkies at Mon Petit Chou. I am assuming it is still there? They did excellent veggie fry ups (halloumi mmmmm) & freshly squeezed juices, service is super quick and efficient.I expect a potato scone in Scotland but not dahn south. On field trips to Castleton, there's an excellent b&b that provides a 'Full Derbyshire' with an oatcake/potato thingy. Excellent. I love the regional variations.Beans with a fry up are just wrong, no matter where you are.

MrBen Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Full of swingers with the Prince Albert. A Waitrose. And safest Tory seat in the country. What's not to like?Bubble and Squeak - after burns night I made some patties from the mash, turnip and a little haggis, added some fresh spring onion and there is a champion "base" from which to add eggs, bacon as required.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hang on a mo, spring onion? You are adding greens to a fry? Never seen that done before. Prettys adds a little flourish of greenery to their fried brekkies but this is easily put to one side.MrBen Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Full of swingers with the Prince Albert.

Louisa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Bubble n Squeak or Colcannon or whatever reginal variation, has always contained left over Sunday veg usually green cabbage carrot etc mashed with potato and burnt to within an inch of its life and smothered in salt. It's a breakfast tradition at my house. Beckenham is also the home to one of the largest Jedi communities in England and Wales (as per the 2001 census). And I once saw Katie Hopkins (my idol) perusing the aisles at M&S.Louisa.

Bhoy in Singapore Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Fried potatoe scones. Black pudding. Thats so cruel to mention them. You cant get them in Singapore and I do so miss them. Mabye I am sad. I did almost wet myself when I came across Irn Bru in one supermarket here.Strangely though, you can get Waitrose curry sauces here - sorry Louisa but they are actually pretty good!
