    For me, the magic of a full breakfast is not the individual components but how well they all work together. One mouthful with rashers, black pudding, egg. The next with toast, beans, and mushroom. And so on ad finitum. But you've really got to use a knife to create that kind of magic. The lack of knife here held you back.

      I'm really triggered by the fact that he isn't pairing them in the right way. You can't have beans first. And you def cannot have egg on its own. Just no. The beans have to be eaten after you've taken a bite of hash browns or some toast bread with egg. Sausage is ok to have on its own. The bacon rashers should probably be paired with the egg and had on a bit of toast and then you might want to cleanse your pallet with a scoop of beans.

      This is what a full breakfast should look like: 2 eggs (cooked the way you like them), bacon, pork sausage links, hash brown (not preformed garbage), toast, and either waffles or pancakes. I think beans other than in chili is disgusting. I know I'm not alone in this feeling. Whenever I travel and stay in hotels with full breakfast buffet, the one thing that's almost left alone are beans.

Or a fillet of beer battered cod, it's not a rainbow of flavours because it's fish but a solid piece of fish will be rich and crunchy. Hash browns aren't a British invention but bubble and squeak has got plenty going on. And yes it originates from India but British curry is strong on its own, though milder than the likes of a Madras. Our pastries are far from bland, just try a Cornish pasty or a steak bake. Sunday dinners are about the only thing bland I can think of that we eat. Compared to Asia, all European cuisine is bland, but France gets praised for its food. At least British food isn't all full of butter and cheese (as good as our cheeses are)

    What I would say, is a breakfast this size is generally eaten on a weekend and usually accompanying a hangover. You'd then either try and get out and walk some of it off (potentially to a pub) or just back home and spend the day not doing much.
    Some people may eat a smaller version of this before work, but mainly manual labourers I would say, I personally could never eat this and then go sit at an office, I'd be asleep by 10am...

      I went to cornwall and tried all sorts of pasties. About ten in fact. It's not true to say that chunks of meat are better than ground. Both varieties were on offer and there are advantages and disadvantages to both types. I actually prefer the ground beef. And I have had the best of the best in Cornwal.

We’d never have it black and would never leave the tea bag in to stew for too long. Try it like that next time.

    A full English usually comes with square toast cut diagonally. I take one triangle, dip the corner in runny egg yolk, then do the same with the other corner. The triangle becomes square, I put an egg on it and eat it with a knife and fork. I leave the other triangle to the end of the meal to wipe the plate clean. ))

As for the bubble and squeak I don't know where that comes from for the Traditional Full English, as Bubble and Squeak is traditionally left overs from a Sunday roast, but more commonly leftovers from Christmas Dinner on boxing day.

    Bubble and Squeak is great but more common for breakfast on Monday morning since it uses leftovers of the Sunday roast, not usually part of a Full English which is usually consumed on the weekend (unless you're a builder who eats it every day because you need tons of calories).
    I would always go for an English breakfast over an American breakfast. Cheese is not needed, but you could always have the other classic English breakfast if you want cheese: Cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce.
    One thing missing from your Full English was a fried slice (a piece of toast fried in the oil used to cook the other ingredients). Other than that, this was awesome.

    If you travel as far as Hull you need to try a pattie from a chippy, they are amazing, and come in several varieties, also try the chips with chip spice, it's the norm up there and they might not even ask before putting it on. You might get a patty in London, they're also called savories but I've been to chippies around most of the UK and very few serve them. Also if you can find a chippy that still cooks in beef dripping, the chips are on another level.

    Here it is: " Black pudding is a kind of sausage, except that unlike normal sausages, you make it with blood. To make a black pudding, you cook blood mixed with a filler (oatmeal) until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled and because of this, black pudding is one of those things people either love or hate.

You cannot get these in an average cafe. They get their sausages for crappy wholesalers and the bacon is just water logged rubbish.
      Hashbrowns are a recent addition to the Full english but are valid.
      To have proper British food you need to stay in London to ensure proper quality. That's were 90% of the best restaurants and markets are in the country, I'm from the north and I've lived in Midlands and London. For food quality its way way higher in london as there is more of a restaurant eating out culture plus it has way superior deliveroo uber eats choices so the average Londoner has tried a wider variety of higher quality food and inevitably will have a superior palette.

    Black pudding is generally as an extra, or included in "big breakfasts" on menus, I find it gorgeous mind, but I think most Brits who don't eat it have never actually tasted it, and the only reason they don't scran it is because they know what it's made off... But, when they do brave a try... Overall, they turn.
    Also, in some restaurants, you will find black pudding as a starter, usually with bacon stacked up on top of it and smoothered in peppercorn sauce, and yes... It's really good, something I'll automatically go for if it's on a menu.

    Lol Ben just created the “American full English” cheese on top of the whole meal. Not a bad idea to be fair

    👏 Well done sir for trying black pudding BEFORE finding out what it's made of. So many people throughout my life have said "I don't like black pudding" and when I ask "have you ever tried it?" they say "no but it's made of..." 🤣 so bravo to you for trying it first and getting the truth of the taste 😊

    My standard American weekend breakfast consists of 3 eggs over medium, 4 bacon strips, 4 sausage links (or two sausage patties), 1/2 pound hamburger patty, hashbrowns, rye toast, and a Michelada.

    Youre right about the cheese. I actually make crumpets with butter, cheese on top then fried egg,mushrooms and bacon on top. Then use knife and fork to eat it all together. Thats usually my english breakfast when im too lazy to cook the whole thing :)

    You should try a Scottish breakfast now. They have square sausage, stornoway black pudding (aka blood pudding), fruit pudding, and potato scone on theirs.

    With Greggs definitely get both a regular sausage roll, a vegan sausage roll, a meat pasty, pepperoni pizza and a dessert like a donut
