I buy sliced gluten free white bread for fried bread. A good way to cook the mushrooms is to slice them and fry in butter. It gives them an extra nice taste. I have always cooked sausages in the oven and bacon under the grill. Your meal looked good. I don't like black pudding so avoid that. I sometimes use the fried breakfast as an evening meal. But I love it. I like putting the egg on the fried bread and eat them together. Best wishes

The ultimate, absolutely best way to experience a fry-up, is to have someone else prepare it! A really good 'greasy-spoon' cafe fry-up is really hard to beat!
That is actually the first time I have ever watched someone turn over eggs in the frying pan! (For next time, try your breakfast with a runny yolk. So much better, especially when you dip the toast into it.)
@@dianef4227 So does over easy mean they turn it over and fry the other side, and sunny side up means you get what any British person would consider to be a normal fried egg?
@@MrDannyDetail yes over easy the yolk is still runny but all the white is definitely cooked. Over hard the yolk is not runny. Uncooked egg white prevents the absorption of the biotin, a B vitamin, in the eggs. Also it tastes unpleasant.
For health reasons I always grill the sausages and bacon, most of the fat drops into the grill pan and not into your arteries and of course, no added oil. I also use back bacon instead of streaky because it's leaner. You didn't do it wrong, it's just a health choice you can make and they taste just as good grilled. You can also grill the tomato halves. Overall you did a pretty good job, the end result looked like the fry-up you'd get in an English cafe. We tend to prefer our eggs sunny-side up but hey, whatever suits. HP brown sauce is the best so you got the right one, it's best with the sausages and bacon.
@@annother3350 I was in a chip shop the other day and the guy in front of me squirted sweet chilli sauce all over his Fish & Chips. It's a good job social distancing was in place or I wouldn't have been responsible for my actions! 😂
My new wife asked me to cook for dinner. when she went on duty as a nurse, that's for us and my two stepsons, no pressure then, I had the things and no idea. but it all worked out, nearly all together
To be fair, I'd have eaten that! A full breakfast these days is more of a treat than a necessity, and the black pudding looked spot on! It's good hangover cure for the morning after the night before! You altos gave the tomatoes and mushrooms more than just a flash in the pan, which so many breakfast outlets / restaurants / cafes just get wrong. A good char is lovely!
1. Cook all at same time 2. Don't flip the eggs. 3. Slice the shrooms into 3 slices 4. Open bread at the end so not to go stale. 5. Missing hash browns Thanks for the content
Yes to all of that except you've got to start the sausages first - fry em slowly so you get a nice bit of caramelisation going. Oh - and no hash browns!
Take the stalks out of the mushrooms, fill with garlic butter then cook slowly with the sausages, the garlic butter cooks the top of the mushroom and tastes delicious.
Hot sauce on an English breakfast is against the law... Brown sauce goes on ur meats. If you don't like Hp then daddies is an OK alternative imo. That wasn't a bad attempt at cooking a breakfast... By no means perfect but a good try. Once a month as a treat as there are 8 million calories in a cooked breakfast
Not at all, I always have a hot sauce on my eggs... Tabasco usually, absolutely lovely... Also I try and cook it healthier by grilling/oven cooking the sausages ( Cumberland for me normally ) and bacon ( definitely smoked ), fried and sometimes poached eggs, black pudding, beans (sometimes) hash browns and mushrooms also... tomato sauce also for me, with toast and a nice cup of red bush tea... 👌🏽

This One is spot on it is Fried and is placed in the Pan when all the other stuff comes out you may have heard it called a Fried Slice ie a fried slice of bread
My favourite customisation is something we often do on Christmas Day, when you want to have special breakfast but not eat a lot because there are other celebration meals to be eaten. We call it "little big breakfast" - it's a full English, miniaturised, so … quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, cocktail sausages, slices of bread cut from a hot-dog roll and so on. Serve it on a saucer with a shot-glass of orange juice and you feel like a giant eating a regular breakfast!
Alan Lake The hardest part at first for me was cracking quail eggs without destroying them. Eventually I figured to saw into them with a serrated knife (I use a grapefruit knife but a junior hacksaw would probably be good) until I can pull them apart with my thumbnails.
Gordon hear is as also to as youll get its the sort of thing you have the morning after a night out say for example a Stag or Hen Night or any other sort of occasion some people have it more than others it was often some thing you had on the way to football others it was say on Boxing Day some even did it on a Saturday as a treat its the fact we have Butties roles and pieces (sandwiches) that all get mixes of these placed on them which brings in the RED or Brown saws debate
good effort! you'r right, it all goes on at once, it's called a fry up but I mostly grill it all, poach the eggs and fry as little as I can to be "healthy" it costs us about $8-$9 of you cash at a "GREASY SPOON" cafe or road side truck stop, so at most once a week for me depending on my work load. HP sauce stands for "Houses of parliament" to make it an English breakfast. That will keep you going until about 5:30 when you get your "tea" (northern English expression")
Great effort! I cook everything in one pan on a lower heat to cook through and not burn, and so it’s ready at the same time so everything is hot! Start with sausage, then bacon, fried egg, mushroom and tomato. I season my beans and add onions to them. Fry my bread also and a cuppa. Don’t think many ppl have black pudding at home. And pilling up or wrapped in your toast is a must!! Packs the flavour. Fry up Saturday! Avocado is a good add too.
@@DaveF. Spinach makes everything better, or at least, adds nutrition without even knowing it's there. I go through a bag a day, just throwing handfuls into everything.
I cook my full English at home mostly in the oven and finish them all off together on a low heat in the pan. Hash brown, bacon, sausage, in the oven for 20 minutes. Prep the scrambled egg mixture, I do my beans in the microwave to heat them up in a mug to save on washing up. I substitute fried tomato for tinned. They're amazing! You bite into it and it just turns into a nice tomato soup in your mouth. Again, just heated in the microwave in a mug to save washing up. 2 eggs scrambled, 2 irish breakfast sausages, 2 smoked back bacon rashers, 2 home style hash browns, 2 tinned tomatoes, good ladle of beans, and a slice of fried slice. (Bread fried in remaining grease in pan) Typically once the sausages start to cook, I cut them almost in half lengthways and brown them off spatchcocked. Use the remaining grease in the pan that's kept everything hot while prepping the meal to fry a slice of bread. Its glorious.
@@Justin-ny6un HP was originally 'Houses of Parliament' and the sauce used to be made in Aston, Birmingham until the overvaluation of Stirling drove production abroad. Real men use Worcester Sauce but save it for fish and chips not breakfast.
A few pointers being from England. The blood sausage is called black pudding. I use Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausages and generally bake in the oven with the bacon and black pudding. Ketchup is the sauce we use not brown, although this is normally a preferred taste and the tomatoes are normally chopped tinned ones for us. Sometimes we have a hash brown as well. The only thing I fry is the eggs( sunny side up) We only cook this on a weekend and maybe only once or twice a month. Enjoy
This Women is close to preparing every thing Posh style not wrong But as the original idea was to use one pan to make as much as you could its a we bit off most people try to get it done fast so for example Posh Bacon ie bacon placed on a baking tray covered with tin foil the tin foil is folded over the bacon and a on a baking tray on top a sort of sandwich in then placed in a hot oven to cock be careful cooks quick But to be Fair to Amanda scrambled egg was/ is often a fried egg alternative as is the Posh poached egg in fact a lot of places when they ask how you want your egg that's what they are asking Tomato is an alternative but brown is way better a hash brown is a very modern (American) addition if you need the Potato get a tatty scone and stay in side UK of things
Despite being called a fry-up, when it comes to Sausages, I always cook mine in the oven. They don't burn and by the time they've cooked, so have all the other items. Also, fried eggs are traditionally placed on top of fried bread. In the Royal Navy, they call that 'Chicken-on-a-raft'.
Yes, I've been doing the same for a while, roast your sausages on a bed of thinly sliced onions. No oil/fat needed, what comes out of the sausages will do the job.
Eric and Grace, I'm probably one of your older subscribers and as such can remember a time just after the war when most women would give up their jobs when they got married to become full time housewives and mothers. As such they had more time in the mornings to prepare a more elaborate breakfast than most of us do these days. Most mornings my mother would cook eggs and bacon and fried bread, followed by toast and marmalade. She would add variety to the bacon and eggs by adding black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes etc, but never all at once. I suspect a tourist wandered into a 'greasy spoon' café early one morning and wanted to try all the strange English food items. And the café owner seeing a business opportunity developed the full English breakfast and things took off from there!
The full English actually comes from grand Victorian breakfasts. They would serve many things together an people would plate what they liked. This slowly evolved into the fry up we know today.
this was brilliant. i used to work in a café for a few years so I'd eat that everyday but it's different from person to person. i prefer tinned tomatoes compared to normal tomatoes and i would have added some fried bread as well, some people have bubble and squeak which is traditionally made from left over mashed potatoes and cabbage from a sunday roast. other than the eggs the breakfast looked pretty good but i would have crisped up the bacon a bit more and put the beans on first so they cook slow and low to create what i like to call a bean reduction, also your sausage and bacon will be warmer when you eat it.
@@darrellbruh1335 my nan only drank loose tea and she used so much the tea strainer couldn't cope. She died 35 years and to this day I leave a little tea in the bottom of my cup. I love strong tea but I'm not exaggerating when I say you could stand a table spoon up in her teapot
Great effort at the full English breakfast - a national institution. Personally, I don't have it as often as I would like - takes too long to make and too much washing up afterwords but when staying in a hotel, for example, you automatically choose the full English breakfast and enjoy the fact that someone else has the hassle of making it. Another option is to visit a cheap cafe, affectionately known as 'a greasy spoon' and enjoy breakfast for a fiver or less. There are many regional variations. In Scotland, for example, as some of your viewers have said, we like Lorne sausage aka square sausage and potation scones with our 'full Scottish' and also, of course, the ubiquitous haggis. Hash browns are pretty much a standard item in England and Scotland. As some have said fried bread is also good. Personally once it's fried I like to splash it with a liberal amount of malt vinegar - it softens the bread and takes away the greasy taste. A piping hot mug of tea is also a must for cutting through the grease. Brown sauce is very popular and most people favour HP. You might also care to try Branston Pickle. I would say (or my palette would) that the best tasting sausages and bacon on the market come from Ireland and the tastiest black pudding comes from Stornoway in Scotland. If you like the black pudding then you should try a black pudding supper from a chip shop where the pudding is deep fried in batter - sheer heaven. Someone mentioned spinach - yuk - there should be nothing green, or healthy, on the plate!
I have to add that not all black puddings are created equal. There are definitely supremely delicious versions and others that are just meh. Clonakilty black pudding is the best by a milestone but you might have to come back over to NI to find that, not sure if it's available in England. The one you bought looks a little solid, not very crumbly, and i I find those types quite flavourless so perhaps why it tasted of tortilla, too much binder ingredient to make it cheaper to produce.
@@lindaclark7 yes, I turned my nose up at it for years, then I was working putting pilings under falling down stuff (digging holes) that is when you understand the point of a builders breakfast.
As a man who carries a few extra pounds, I know my way around a fry up. Firstly. You needed more food on the plate. It’s a 3 sausage / 3 rasher minimum for sure. Bacon had to be crispier + needs to be smoked bacon otherwise it’s just hot ham 🤣 Those sausages were getting there. You could have still cooked them for longer tbh. The caramelisation on the outside is the best part... if you had kept them in a pan off the heat, they would have been perfect. Sausages looked like a decent thick sausage which is the most important thing - don’t skimp on the price of a good sausage! Black pudding I’ll have once every few months...not burnt at all....deceivingly takes longer than you think.,,. . I like to add the fat juices from the sausages / bacon / BP into my baked beans to give them a more meaty flavour. I’m partial to cheesy beans too so ignore the others, load up the cheddar whilst you’re cooking . Ignore those who say brown sauce, I’ll stick to ketchup thanks. No spinach. Not allowed. Nothing green allowed near a fry up. If you want spinach, you go for poached eggs. Save that for Sunday brunch. What you are lacking is 100% you need potatoes to help soak up the Alcohol from the night before. A fry up is a perfect hangover cure. That’s why it’s mostly eaten on a weekend. Hash browns ideal but cafes up and down the country will serve it with chips too, although not something I’d go for at home. Flipping eggs is ok as long as you keep the egg just runny enough so it oozes when you dip your sausage. As I’m from London, toast is acceptable. A fried slice is more of a northern thing but never whole meal bread. White bread only for a fry up. It’s a vehicle for the fry up after all. Apart from that. I’d go for a big glass of OJ on the side and a cup of tea. Good effort. Ingredients: A- Cooking: B- Overall: B+
Beans on toast with grated cheese.....quick and easy and lush.... but your brekkie is deffo looking the part, apart from the hot sauce....!!! Fry up after the night before to recover.....not necessarily a 5 days a week job - but couple of times a week / weekend got to be done... BTW HP is the only brown sauce and Heinz is the only tomato sauce....there are no others - that's the law !!!!! And I'm hungry now - wanting a fry up.....thanks !
@@rach_laze - 'ere we go..... daddies red sauce is a desperation sauce only when you can't find or get Heinz....there is no comparison, at all, ever, period.
We have a full English at least once a week but we use to grill or air fryer to do it all apart from the eggs, which are fried in a lot more oil and we don't turn the egg, we flick the hot oil over the egg with a spatula to seal the yolk. That way the yolk stays runny but cooked.
In my house we would not normally flip the egg, we would keep the yolk on the top then we dip our toast in it. I do think you need a toast rack so that the toast goes/stays crispy and crunchy. Also in our house we would use tomato sauce, Ketchup, on bacon and brown sauce with sausages.
Did a great job, just forgot the fried bread! Also you turned over the eggs whereas I think pretty much everyone here would have as yokey an egg as possible.
As someone once said to me, as a general guide: “if it’s brown, it’s cooked. If it’s black, it’s f**ked!” As for Sausages, the brand I buy is: ‘Heck’ The Sausages contain 97% Pork, rather than the much lower percentages found in other brands. Obviously, I have no idea which Supermarket serve the area where you are presently located, I believe Heck are sold in Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and of course Waitrose. They are also dairy and gluten free. By the way, your breakfast looked delicious, as well as toast - try fried bread. www.heckfood.co.uk/
You may choose to add seasoning, but it's not necessary. This is the full English breakfast, grill or fry a range of pork products, add eggs, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, toast or fried bread optional. Eat it and then go back to bed, because you'll probably need a lie down.
This should be fun, personally I tend to cook my Sausages and tomatoes under the grill rather than in a pan. Mushrooms are best chopped then cooked on a low heat in a saucepan with some butter. All in all, I wouldnt be disappointed if I was served that, so good job! (I worked in the kitchen at a cafe that did lots of fry ups so I've got a fair bit of experience here)
No worries, you can improve the tomatoes by baking or grilling with a bit of olive oil and some mixed herbs. I tend to use cherry tomatoes and cook them until they split, but that's just me. Please don't add cheese though! One of the things I noticed when I was last in the states was that they put cheese in everything. Most will probably disagree but I do like some hot sauce with a fry up, especially if it's at a wetherspoons
Absolutely. Grill as much as possible. Some like tomato ketchup or brown sauce. However if you add hot sauce or, God forbid, spinach you will need to leave the country! Keep safe.
@@WanderingRavens Please make a video about things that are different than you expected in the UK, and if anything disappointed/pleasantly surprised you :)
slice the mushrooms and quarter the tomato's fry the bread dont toast it, fork the sausages before frying, add a dollop of brown HP sauce, black pudding is already cooked you only have to re-heat it in the frying pan, also HP sauce was originally called houses of parliament sauce hence the HP, the sauce you dip the sausage in, dip the bacon in, adding hot sauce like that takes away the flavor of all the other ingredients, you can replace the fried bread with potato waffles... also i use one pan for the entire breakfast... before i retired i always stopped at the road side cafe on the way to work and had a all day breakfast (full english breakfast) i also made my own at the weekends, it sets me up for the long day at the office, or in the garden... i know americans like to have cereal then a lunch then a dinner, brits almost do the same now but many still make a decent breakfast to set them up for the day ahead...
You did really well, guys. I would have called your bacon "back bacon". I actually grill or oven cook most of mine, but I am with others here, too much faff to make at home. Best from a cafe, where you can choose what you want on your breakfast,
Black pudding isn't burnt, bacon & sausage & mushrooms aren't cooked enough, beans can be fried as well in the bacon pan. We have toast or fried bread also. Once a week in our house, usually a Sunday
In my experience most people like the egg White fully cooked, but the yolk runny. Best way to get that is to flip it and allow the top to cook for about 40 seconds. I think the yanks call that "over, easy" (flipped and runny).
Good effort you two! My wife and I tend to grill the meat rather than fry as it's healthier, also we have scrambled eggs instead (just personal preference). Usually you cut the mushrooms up smaller and fry them in butter. You can also use the oven to keep everything warm if you're struggling to juggle everything. We don't have it very often, usually if on holiday (B&B's and hotels tend to serve them as standard) or maybe a couple times a year. Its more often than we do a "mini fry up" which is just bacon eggs and toast.
Cumberland sausages, smoked bacon, fried bread (deep fat fry bread and dry out), sliced mushrooms (fried ofc), sliced onion fried, tomatoes chopped in half, hash browns (is a shredded potato and onion egg flour mix, can buy them made here not sure if same there, is why I've listed what they are made from), toast, baked beans, blood sausage, fried egg. Use brown sauce (brand is hp). Jobs a good-un, enjoy.
@@neuralwarp That`s like saying Fish and Chips are English or Roast Beef is English the Basic idea of the breakfast was one that started with working class people in cafes close to markets (and latter truck stops see above) in major metropolitan areas like London or Birmingham or Glasgow its why as we see hear there are regional variations on a them So to Keep you happy maybe we should use the term UKGBNI Breakfast with local variations No wonder the Yanks get a shock when the try any were out side London and see the real England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland. Next you'll be telling me its not a pastie unless its from Cornwall or that a plowman's has to have English cheddar chess crnwell is a type of pastie and plowman's was a meal a plowman if he was very lucky may have eaten any were were people were ploughing
Great job on the Full English. The beauty of it is that you can (as with other things) tweak it to your requirements. For me, brown sauce on the meats, tinned tomatoes - fresh ones have a snotty texture when fried, sliced mushrooms. There will always be howls of outrage, however you prepare it because it's a personal thing. I would definitely eat what you made. You are no longer Americans (official)
brown sauce is for the sausages, Toms: cut them the other way and cook 'em slower, should be so soft that the skin are nearly black and just slips off...BUT still looked like a good plate and yummy to me. (and NO NO NO to spinach..sorry.)
Definitely. I use Canelli Beans with tinned baby tomatoes (with a splash of honey and mixed herbs) for homemade baked beans. Pouched eggs on fresh bread (toasted). Mushrooms, Black Pudding, thick Lincolnshire or Turkey Sausages (grilled), Back Bacon (grilled), Tomatoes (grilled with a tiny splash of balsamic and a sprinkle of sugar on top). Then fried bread (but with olive oil and a faint hint of garlic). nom nom nom nom nom nom.
Even though its called a fry up, the main ingredients are grilled or baked, namely sausage, bacon,black pudding and tomatoes Eggs are fried in a good amount of hot oil and the oil is flicked over the egg until cooked you do not flip the egg, when the eggs are cooked then you add bread to the same oil until lightly brown on both sides, this should have soaked up a lot of oil so place bread on kitchen towel or in toast rack to drain, Drain off remaining oil from frying pan and empty a tin of chopped tomatoes into it, season to taste and let simmer, stirring occasionally then poor onto whatever's gone coldest and enjoy The best sausages can usually be found at your local butchers or large supermarkets that have a butchers counter Hope that helps
When I was a teenager delivering Sunday Papers, the whole village smelled of bacon and egg cooking. That was a long while ago though... people do different things now.
I've always called brown sauce - 'daddy' sauce. Yes there's a brand of brown sauce called Daddies but HP is deffo the best. Ketchup I've always called 'baby' sauce as it's for kids. HP separates the men from the boys!
A wonderful optional extra is “Bubble and Squeak” - left over mashed potatoes mixed with left over cabbage (and possibly other cooked vegetables) all mixed together and, you guessed it, fried!
@@WanderingRavens depends on the variety. To be uber authentic you'd have picked your own while taking the dog for a walk before breakfast. If they're bought they're usually button mushes & are better sliced..
brown sauce goes on the sausages, and or bacon, we upt north tend to make a bacon butty, with tomato sauce for the best, but brown sauce is just as good. we never add salt and pepper or flip eggs.the mushrooms are best sliced into small strips, and fried, the fry up is supposed to give you energy for the day instant energy then usually a mealat 6 after a hard days work, maybe something at 1pm
@@RichardBarclay Ah, but in some places the tradition is for 'Through-Cut' also called 'Irish Roll', where they don't cut the back from the streaky, but roll the whole thing up. It gives you a great big disc of a rasher. Really Good.
You should prick the sausage a few times before cooking, maybe a slight slice down the middle. And cook on a low to middle heat. The idea of a breakfast is getting it right so everything comes together in the same pan at the end. It just takes practice. Going back to sausages, I always have one in the pan as a taster to cut bits off and taste as I go.
Another great Vid. Thanks guys. I'm with Eric on the chilli sauce on fried eggs - makes an eggcelent buttie. Grace gets 10mins in the naughty corner for the cheese comment.
In Scotland, you might have tattie scone, lorne sausage and haggis. Stornoway black pudding is best - it doesn't have the white bits in it.. It can be consumed in cafes most days by manual workers such as building labourers; but most people would have it less often - that said, many places offer breakfast rolls, which are buttered bread rolls containing one or more of the items - bacon rolls are very popular. Some parts of the country have other names for these, such as 'barms'. Breakfast alternatives can included steamed fish - especially kippers; and porridge is often served as an alternative to cereal in Scotland. tea or coffee is the usual breakfast drink, but fresh orange juice, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and muesli are often served as a first course, before the main fry-up... likewise, toast is often unlimited and thickly spread with butter and jam, marmalade or a yeast extract called marmite. Cafes often allow you to choose your own items, or have everything available as a self-service buffet. They don;t call us the cholesterol capital of Europe for no reason
Brown sauce deffo HP and yea eat it with everything except the mushrooms and black pudding and tomatoes. I always eat brown sauce with fry up, and also with cheese on toast or cheese and beans on toast. I probly eat fry up like every month or two... Can't be bothered to make it often... And I don't often eat it actually in the morning... I have for brunch, lunch, or dinner at night xxx
As the late John LeCarre described it; "over-cooked tomatoes and undercooked sausages", for George Smiley's typical small London hotel's breakfast offering.
I generally cook the sausages in the oven, its easier to cook them through consistently and you don't have to keep turning them. I also usually cook the bacon in the oven as well. Then the eggs are fried. I fry the tomatoes but I generally stew the mushrooms until all the liquid evaporates then add some butter right at the end to finish them
So, I use Cumberland sausages, grill till no pink bits then keep warm in a low oven Grill smoked back bacon, put in oven with sausages Slice and fry the mushrooms in oil and butter Fry the eggs (don’t flip them though) Fry the bread instead of toasting Heat the beans Dump it all on plate and serve with some bread and flora spread
True,though I usually make it no more than once a week unless I've got extra stuff to use up,and it tends to be more typically at the weekend,most typically Saturday morning.
good job and here are a few observations. 1) sausages are not burning they are browning and that is good 2) i would slice the mushrooms and fry them with oil and finely chopped garlic 3) bacon could have been done a little more but that is personal preference 4) i would fry the bread and add in some hash browns
Corned beef with mashed potatoes - all in one pot - the essential element to add to a full English breakfast. The hangover cure. Sausages - on a low heat and cook throughout whilst everything else cooks. Slice the mushrooms though, and fry those in butter, for extra healthiness. And HP sauce (beans/bacon and egg - always sunny side up) is essential :)
"Blood Sausage" is normally called "Black Pudding" in The UK.
We know what it's made of, and don't need reminding. ( I'm like it with haggis too. I don't like offal of any kind, but I love haggis🤷)
ALWAYS called black pudding
and the best lancashire black pudding, made with fresh blood, is one of Britain's best products, fried crisp and sprinkled over perfect runny poached eggs on buttered wholemeal toast. perfect.
To make it more paletable than BLOOD Sausage :D
I don’t know why he said blood sausage when it would clearly say black pudding on the pack.
“What kind of sausage do you use?”
The kind that hasn’t been left on the plate for 20 minutes getting cold.

Yes, a "fried slice" (as they call it in some parts of the country) is a must.
Fried bread is fairly common all over the country, not just in the north.
I buy sliced gluten free white bread for fried bread. A good way to cook the mushrooms is to slice them and fry in butter. It gives them an extra nice taste.
I have always cooked sausages in the oven and bacon under the grill.

@@nigelpayne1236 Yes, it has saved my bacon (pun intended) a few times.
Why are are you calling it blood sausage when it says on the packet it's black pudding and you know it's black pudding? It's black flipping pudding !
🤣🤣🤣
i dont understand why either its really frustrating
potato potato
Because in America that would be called racist 😂 society has really gone downhill.
Why is it racist, if something is black then it’s black, it’s only a sausage
‘I think we might have burned some things’
Yes that is the correct way to cook a fry up. Good job 👍
Its OK if that's the case can often add to the taste
Keep everything you’ve cooked onto a warmed plate and pop into a warm oven x
I always say rather than it's burnt is "its caremalised" especially the sausages they are so much better when they go a little "caremalised"
That is actually the first time I have ever watched someone turn over eggs in the frying pan! (For next time, try your breakfast with a runny yolk. So much better, especially when you dip the toast into it.)
Over easy is popular in the US, a lot of breakfast places looked at me like I was weird for wanting sunny side up
@@dianef4227 So does over easy mean they turn it over and fry the other side, and sunny side up means you get what any British person would consider to be a normal fried egg?
@@MrDannyDetail yes over easy the yolk is still runny but all the white is definitely cooked. Over hard the yolk is not runny. Uncooked egg white prevents the absorption of the biotin, a B vitamin, in the eggs. Also it tastes unpleasant.
@@toomuchjam I do exactly the same. Or a few seconds under the grill does the same.
I was horrified that someone would ruin eggs like that 😂😂😂
You called black pudding, 'blood sausage'. That's 1 wrong thing immediately
Shoot! 😂
@@WanderingRavens It is a _type_ of blood sausage, though, even if we don't call it that.
Unless he wants to be all Viking and butch by calling it blood pudding 😂 but he just sounds a bit of a dope.
I disagree. I'm from Lancashire and both names are totally acceptable!
@@olorin1.414 but you are also wrong 😛
For health reasons I always grill the sausages and bacon, most of the fat drops into the grill pan and not into your arteries and of course, no added oil. I also use back bacon instead of streaky because it's leaner. You didn't do it wrong, it's just a health choice you can make and they taste just as good grilled. You can also grill the tomato halves. Overall you did a pretty good job, the end result looked like the fry-up you'd get in an English cafe. We tend to prefer our eggs sunny-side up but hey, whatever suits. HP brown sauce is the best so you got the right one, it's best with the sausages and bacon.
You were doing pretty well until you added the hot sauce. Don't get me wrong, I like hot sauce, just never on a full English
It's good man. I've been doing this for years. Try a sweet chilli sauce -- you may never go back to Ketchup!
@@annother3350 I was in a chip shop the other day and the guy in front of me squirted sweet chilli sauce all over his Fish & Chips. It's a good job social distancing was in place or I wouldn't have been responsible for my actions! 😂

Thank you!! 😁
Roast dinner s easier , because you can keep things on hold and pour hot gravy on . Fry up is more immediate with timing
yes and then they'll have the leftovers ready for bubble and squeak, its a 2-in-1 video idea win-win situation
My new wife asked me to cook for dinner. when she went on duty as a nurse, that's for us and my two stepsons, no pressure then, I had the things and no idea. but it all worked out, nearly all together
If in doubt ..baked potatoes every time .. always a winner , and a blank canvas to add any toppings you want..good comfort food 😀
To be fair, I'd have eaten that! A full breakfast these days is more of a treat than a necessity, and the black pudding looked spot on! It's good hangover cure for the morning after the night before! You altos gave the tomatoes and mushrooms more than just a flash in the pan, which so many breakfast outlets / restaurants / cafes just get wrong. A good char is lovely!
1. Cook all at same time
2. Don't flip the eggs.
3. Slice the shrooms into 3 slices
4. Open bread at the end so not to go stale.
5. Missing hash browns
Thanks for the content
No hash browns... Keep it British!
Welsh and yes missing hash browns.
Yes to all of that except you've got to start the sausages first - fry em slowly so you get a nice bit of caramelisation going. Oh - and no hash browns!
Take the stalks out of the mushrooms, fill with garlic butter then cook slowly with the sausages, the garlic butter cooks the top of the mushroom and tastes delicious.
I’d say eggs can be done to taste. Not everyone likes over easy. *i* wouldn’t flip my eggs.
Hot sauce on an English breakfast is against the law... Brown sauce goes on ur meats. If you don't like Hp then daddies is an OK alternative imo.
That wasn't a bad attempt at cooking a breakfast... By no means perfect but a good try.
Once a month as a treat as there are 8 million calories in a cooked breakfast
Not at all, I always have a hot sauce on my eggs... Tabasco usually, absolutely lovely...
Also I try and cook it healthier by grilling/oven cooking the sausages ( Cumberland for me normally ) and bacon ( definitely smoked ), fried and sometimes poached eggs, black pudding, beans (sometimes) hash browns and mushrooms also... tomato sauce also for me, with toast and a nice cup of red bush tea... 👌🏽

But I agree just slap everything in the pan, just make sure the eggs are last
I always do bacon last. I hate cold bacon and black pudding will not touch my lips again, bad eperience when young ... it involved a dinghy and chef hat
Mustard or ketchup, all day. Or brown sauce I guess but not personally a fan 🤣
Should've fried the bread as well, but toast isn't a crime.
Toast with plenty of butter.
This One is spot on it is Fried and is placed in the Pan when all the other stuff comes out you may have heard it called a Fried Slice ie a fried slice of bread
Or just plain buttered bread, you need something to mop up the juices.
My favourite customisation is something we often do on Christmas Day, when you want to have special breakfast but not eat a lot because there are other celebration meals to be eaten. We call it "little big breakfast" - it's a full English, miniaturised, so … quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, cocktail sausages, slices of bread cut from a hot-dog roll and so on. Serve it on a saucer with a shot-glass of orange juice and you feel like a giant eating a regular breakfast!
I love the sound of that.. you get to enjoy all the amazing flavours of a proper breakfast and still have room for Christmas dinner.. must try that !!
Alan Lake The hardest part at first for me was cracking quail eggs without destroying them. Eventually I figured to saw into them with a serrated knife (I use a grapefruit knife but a junior hacksaw would probably be good) until I can pull them apart with my thumbnails.
@@nodroGnotlrahC Good tip.. thanks
Omg that's so cute! Going to try that brekkie xx
Gordon hear is as also to as youll get its the sort of thing you have the morning after a night out say for example a Stag or Hen Night or any other sort of occasion some people have it more than others it was often some thing you had on the way to football others it was say on Boxing Day some even did it on a Saturday as a treat its the fact we have Butties roles and pieces (sandwiches) that all get mixes of these placed on them which brings in the RED or Brown saws debate
You can grill most of it for a healthier approach and never flip your egg, never hot sauce, always fried bread not toast and eat hot not cold 😁
nah, you fry that shit into oblivion, thats a real english breakfast
If you’re a master of the genre you got for the “one pan fry up”
yup fried bread done last will soak up most of the fat used making clean up easier.
@@deejayy2k I thought I was the only person who did it like that! Congratulations, you're right lol 😄
You should of cooked it in the oven. Apart from the beans and the egg
Gotta do it all in one pan to make it quick enough and not as much hassle
2 pans as one is gf and it stops contamination
Grace: "I would add cheese". And that's how we found out who's the americanest of them all.
😂😂
Cheese? For breakfast with a fry up? OMG!
+1
good effort! you'r right, it all goes on at once, it's called a fry up but I mostly grill it all, poach the eggs and fry as little as I can to be "healthy" it costs us about $8-$9 of you cash at a "GREASY SPOON" cafe or road side truck stop, so at most once a week for me depending on my work load.
HP sauce stands for "Houses of parliament" to make it an English breakfast.
That will keep you going until about 5:30 when you get your "tea" (northern English expression")
STOP putting metal things in the non-stick pan!!
You will damage the coating.
Where was the fried bread?
The main error is that ideally you should eat a full English breakfast with a massive hangover. It is the absolute best hangover cure.
Great effort! I cook everything in one pan on a lower heat to cook through and not burn, and so it’s ready at the same time so everything is hot! Start with sausage, then bacon, fried egg, mushroom and tomato. I season my beans and add onions to them. Fry my bread also and a cuppa. Don’t think many ppl have black pudding at home. And pilling up or wrapped in your toast is a must!! Packs the flavour. Fry up Saturday! Avocado is a good add too.
Cheese NO, Spinach NO and it's Black Pudding ffs 😂
yeah that's one way to put it
😜
Nah - you should try the spinach - it's really nice and goes well with the eggs and tomatoes to balance the meat.
@@DaveF. Spinach makes everything better, or at least, adds nutrition without even knowing it's there. I go through a bag a day, just throwing handfuls into everything.
Omg the eggs being flipped... why 😂😂😂
This video really made me smile though. Love seeing British stuff through the eyes of others!!!
And they always get it wrong. Or make out it’s not as good as theirs. 🤬
flipping the eggs proves you are American, English dont do that
I cook my full English at home mostly in the oven and finish them all off together on a low heat in the pan.
Hash brown, bacon, sausage, in the oven for 20 minutes. Prep the scrambled egg mixture, I do my beans in the microwave to heat them up in a mug to save on washing up. I substitute fried tomato for tinned. They're amazing! You bite into it and it just turns into a nice tomato soup in your mouth. Again, just heated in the microwave in a mug to save washing up.
2 eggs scrambled, 2 irish breakfast sausages, 2 smoked back bacon rashers, 2 home style hash browns, 2 tinned tomatoes, good ladle of beans, and a slice of fried slice. (Bread fried in remaining grease in pan)
Typically once the sausages start to cook, I cut them almost in half lengthways and brown them off spatchcocked.
Use the remaining grease in the pan that's kept everything hot while prepping the meal to fry a slice of bread. Its glorious.
HP sauce definitely go's on sausage and bacon. Not a bad attempt.
Daddy's brown sauce HP source is no longer British (made in Britain) cheaper to be made in poland. How wrong now!
@@phillip2010cowley Daddies is Polish made , HP is Netherlands
Use ketchup, if you prefere, some "purists" might bust a blood vessel, nuts it's your breakfast, do it your way!
@@Justin-ny6un HP was originally 'Houses of Parliament' and the sauce used to be made in Aston, Birmingham until the overvaluation of Stirling drove production abroad. Real men use Worcester Sauce but save it for fish and chips not breakfast.

I don’t mind the Brit way of using forks for many foods but how do you handle peas, rice and other such smallies..??
@@larrybothe8246 with a fork?? How else??
A few pointers being from England. The blood sausage is called black pudding. I use Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausages and generally bake in the oven with the bacon and black pudding. Ketchup is the sauce we use not brown, although this is normally a preferred taste and the tomatoes are normally chopped tinned ones for us. Sometimes we have a hash brown as well. The only thing I fry is the eggs( sunny side up) We only cook this on a weekend and maybe only once or twice a month.
Enjoy
This Women is close to preparing every thing Posh style not wrong But as the original idea was to use one pan to make as much as you could its a we bit off most people try to get it done fast so for example Posh Bacon ie bacon placed on a baking tray covered with tin foil the tin foil is folded over the bacon and a on a baking tray on top a sort of sandwich in then placed in a hot oven to cock be careful cooks quick
But to be Fair to Amanda scrambled egg was/ is often a fried egg alternative as is the Posh poached egg in fact a lot of places when they ask how you want your egg that's what they are asking
Tomato is an alternative but brown is way better a hash brown is a very modern (American) addition if you need the Potato get a tatty scone and stay in side UK of things
Despite being called a fry-up, when it comes to Sausages, I always cook mine in the oven. They don't burn and by the time they've cooked, so have all the other items. Also, fried eggs are traditionally placed on top of fried bread. In the Royal Navy, they call that 'Chicken-on-a-raft'.
Not forgetting Shit on a Raft either!
I do the same
Yes, I've been doing the same for a while, roast your sausages on a bed of thinly sliced onions. No oil/fat needed, what comes out of the sausages will do the job.
Eric and Grace, I'm probably one of your older subscribers and as such can remember a time just after the war when most women would give up their jobs when they got married to become full time housewives and mothers. As such they had more time in the mornings to prepare a more elaborate breakfast than most of us do these days. Most mornings my mother would cook eggs and bacon and fried bread, followed by toast and marmalade. She would add variety to the bacon and eggs by adding black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes etc, but never all at once. I suspect a tourist wandered into a 'greasy spoon' café early one morning and wanted to try all the strange English food items. And the café owner seeing a business opportunity developed the full English breakfast and things took off from there!
ANYBODY remember Les Kellett the wrestler? He had his own cafe in Yorks somwhere. Anybody brave enough to eat there?
The full English actually comes from grand Victorian breakfasts. They would serve many things together an people would plate what they liked. This slowly evolved into the fry up we know today.
this was brilliant. i used to work in a café for a few years so I'd eat that everyday but it's different from person to person. i prefer tinned tomatoes compared to normal tomatoes and i would have added some fried bread as well, some people have bubble and squeak which is traditionally made from left over mashed potatoes and cabbage from a sunday roast. other than the eggs the breakfast looked pretty good but i would have crisped up the bacon a bit more and put the beans on first so they cook slow and low to create what i like to call a bean reduction, also your sausage and bacon will be warmer when you eat it.
"Cheers" ?!?! It's a mug of tea, not a bloody pint! 🤦♂️😆

Great effort at the full English breakfast - a national institution. Personally, I don't have it as often as I would like - takes too long to make and too much washing up afterwords but when staying in a hotel, for example, you automatically choose the full English breakfast and enjoy the fact that someone else has the hassle of making it. Another option is to visit a cheap cafe, affectionately known as 'a greasy spoon' and enjoy breakfast for a fiver or less. There are many regional variations. In Scotland, for example, as some of your viewers have said, we like Lorne sausage aka square sausage and potation scones with our 'full Scottish' and also, of course, the ubiquitous haggis. Hash browns are pretty much a standard item in England and Scotland. As some have said fried bread is also good. Personally once it's fried I like to splash it with a liberal amount of malt vinegar - it softens the bread and takes away the greasy taste. A piping hot mug of tea is also a must for cutting through the grease. Brown sauce is very popular and most people favour HP. You might also care to try Branston Pickle. I would say (or my palette would) that the best tasting sausages and bacon on the market come from Ireland and the tastiest black pudding comes from Stornoway in Scotland. If you like the black pudding then you should try a black pudding supper from a chip shop where the pudding is deep fried in batter - sheer heaven. Someone mentioned spinach - yuk - there should be nothing green, or healthy, on the plate!
It was going so well until you flipped the eggs 🥺
And then you added "hot sauce". And Grace wanted cheese. No. Not ever. That's not English.
+1
I have no problem with a flip , but...... It no more than like 10 seconds max !!!! You want a runny egg
The "blood sausages" are called black pudding.
Thank you!
Yes, black pudding. ‘Blood sausage’ sounds horrendous. I do like a bit of black pudding with a breakfast though.
I have to add that not all black puddings are created equal. There are definitely supremely delicious versions and others that are just meh. Clonakilty black pudding is the best by a milestone but you might have to come back over to NI to find that, not sure if it's available in England. The one you bought looks a little solid, not very crumbly, and i
I find those types quite flavourless so perhaps why it tasted of tortilla, too much binder ingredient to make it cheaper to produce.
Yay, I know when they kept calling black pudding/blood pudding, blood sausages I was like saying in my head it called black pudding.
@@lindaclark7 yes, I turned my nose up at it for years,
then
I was working putting pilings under falling down stuff (digging holes)
that is when you understand the point of a builders breakfast.
As a man who carries a few extra pounds, I know my way around a fry up.
Firstly. You needed more food on the plate. It’s a 3 sausage / 3 rasher minimum for sure.
Bacon had to be crispier + needs to be smoked bacon otherwise it’s just hot ham 🤣
Those sausages were getting there. You could have still cooked them for longer tbh. The caramelisation on the outside is the best part... if you had kept them in a pan off the heat, they would have been perfect. Sausages looked like a decent thick sausage which is the most important thing - don’t skimp on the price of a good sausage!
Black pudding I’ll have once every few months...not burnt at all....deceivingly takes longer than you think.,,. . I like to add the fat juices from the sausages / bacon / BP into my baked beans to give them a more meaty flavour. I’m partial to cheesy beans too so ignore the others, load up the cheddar whilst you’re cooking . Ignore those who say brown sauce, I’ll stick to ketchup thanks.
No spinach. Not allowed. Nothing green allowed near a fry up. If you want spinach, you go for poached eggs. Save that for Sunday brunch.
What you are lacking is 100% you need potatoes to help soak up the Alcohol from the night before. A fry up is a perfect hangover cure. That’s why it’s mostly eaten on a weekend. Hash browns ideal but cafes up and down the country will serve it with chips too, although not something I’d go for at home.
Flipping eggs is ok as long as you keep the egg just runny enough so it oozes when you dip your sausage.
As I’m from London, toast is acceptable. A fried slice is more of a northern thing but never whole meal bread. White bread only for a fry up. It’s a vehicle for the fry up after all.
Apart from that. I’d go for a big glass of OJ on the side and a cup of tea.
Good effort.

That English breakfast looks AMAZING!!!!
I haven't had one in about a year, but I hopefully I can have one this Sunday!
So glad you approved!! It was delicious :D
Beans on toast with grated cheese.....quick and easy and lush.... but your brekkie is deffo looking the part, apart from the hot sauce....!!! Fry up after the night before to recover.....not necessarily a 5 days a week job - but couple of times a week / weekend got to be done... BTW HP is the only brown sauce and Heinz is the only tomato sauce....there are no others - that's the law !!!!!
And I'm hungry now - wanting a fry up.....thanks !
So glad you approve of our fry up!! :D
Chop sauce ftw
Beans on toast with cheese and a tiny amount of chilli. It's amazing.
daddies sauce is better for non-breakfast related saucing
@@rach_laze - 'ere we go..... daddies red sauce is a desperation sauce only when you can't find or get Heinz....there is no comparison, at all, ever, period.
We have a full English at least once a week but we use to grill or air fryer to do it all apart from the eggs, which are fried in a lot more oil and we don't turn the egg, we flick the hot oil over the egg with a spatula to seal the yolk. That way the yolk stays runny but cooked.
Tip I was taught about cooking sausages is cook on lower heat for longer so they don’t dry out or burn
The best sausages I ever ate have been from farm shops. I always keep an eye out when travelling past farms for them.
In my house we would not normally flip the egg, we would keep the yolk on the top then we dip our toast in it. I do think you need a toast rack so that the toast goes/stays crispy and crunchy. Also in our house we would use tomato sauce, Ketchup, on bacon and brown sauce with sausages.
I use brown sauce for almost everything. Bacon, sausage, ham, eggs, chips etc
Your sausages are fine if they aren’t slightly charred then they ain’t english
Good to know 😂
Absolutely true
Did a great job, just forgot the fried bread! Also you turned over the eggs whereas I think pretty much everyone here would have as yokey an egg as possible.
Bacon looked under-cooked to me
As someone once said to me, as a general guide: “if it’s brown, it’s cooked. If it’s black, it’s f**ked!”
As for Sausages, the brand I buy is: ‘Heck’ The Sausages contain 97% Pork, rather than the much lower percentages found in
other brands. Obviously, I have no idea which Supermarket serve the area where you are presently located, I believe Heck are sold in Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and of course Waitrose. They are also dairy and gluten free. By the way, your breakfast looked delicious, as well as toast - try fried bread.

*EVERY CHEF EVERYWHERE:*
_’Where Was the Seasoning on the Tomatoes & Mushrooms!?!?’_
They threw it onto the eggs instead before they flipped them so that there was no runny yoke to dip toast into.
@@olinpaul 😱😱😱
You may choose to add seasoning, but it's not necessary. This is the full English breakfast, grill or fry a range of pork products, add eggs, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, toast or fried bread optional. Eat it and then go back to bed, because you'll probably need a lie down.
The best time to have an English breakfast is the morning after a good drinking session the night before as it's a great hangover cure.
Sometimes tho you fancy one at tea time
This should be fun, personally I tend to cook my Sausages and tomatoes under the grill rather than in a pan. Mushrooms are best chopped then cooked on a low heat in a saucepan with some butter. All in all, I wouldnt be disappointed if I was served that, so good job! (I worked in the kitchen at a cafe that did lots of fry ups so I've got a fair bit of experience here)
Thank you for the tips! We'll take all the pointers you can throw our way :D
No worries, you can improve the tomatoes by baking or grilling with a bit of olive oil and some mixed herbs. I tend to use cherry tomatoes and cook them until they split, but that's just me. Please don't add cheese though! One of the things I noticed when I was last in the states was that they put cheese in everything. Most will probably disagree but I do like some hot sauce with a fry up, especially if it's at a wetherspoons
Absolutely. Grill as much as possible. Some like tomato ketchup or brown sauce. However if you add hot sauce or, God forbid, spinach you will need to leave the country! Keep safe.
Try bubble and sqeak with it. Some people have been Brown's or chips.
You undercooked everything. And fry the bread! Fried bread is amazing
Often called a fried slice.
Eggy bread is better
I'd want fried bread and toast.
Instead of toast I like to fry the bread in the bacon fat, it's amazing! Great when having just a bacon butty too.
bacon butty with fried bread - Mmmm heaven!!
My wife does fried toast? well she was born in Kenya so she makes up her own versions of the British food ( most of them very nice).
Sounds delicious!!
As much as I appreciate this English breakfast representation, that is a VERY nice kitchen
Red or Brown sauce is needed too, but great effort, you two are so sweet!
"Hungry Ravens"? - surely that should be "ravenous Ravens"!
You're right!! We'll say that next time 😂
@@WanderingRavens Please make a video about things that are different than you expected in the UK, and if anything disappointed/pleasantly surprised you :)
sausage first, mushrooms, tomatos beans fried bread black pudding and eggs last but not flipped
slice the mushrooms and quarter the tomato's fry the bread dont toast it, fork the sausages before frying, add a dollop of brown HP sauce, black pudding is already cooked you only have to re-heat it in the frying pan, also HP sauce was originally called houses of parliament sauce hence the HP, the sauce you dip the sausage in, dip the bacon in, adding hot sauce like that takes away the flavor of all the other ingredients, you can replace the fried bread with potato waffles... also i use one pan for the entire breakfast...
before i retired i always stopped at the road side cafe on the way to work and had a all day breakfast (full english breakfast) i also made my own at the weekends, it sets me up for the long day at the office, or in the garden... i know americans like to have cereal then a lunch then a dinner, brits almost do the same now but many still make a decent breakfast to set them up for the day ahead...
Watching you two - this is why I only have a full English in a cafe or on holiday. Too much going on to do it myself 😋
Makes sense - it's a chore to cook! But my what a pleasure to eat :D
Yeah but would cost about 10 quid for the stuff they cooked lol
Workmans (persons) cafe is best. A regular when I worked on water utilities.
@@WanderingRavens I think most people eat out! Usually under £5, far too much hassle to make at home, and so many pots!
You did really well, guys. I would have called your bacon "back bacon". I actually grill or oven cook most of mine, but I am with others here, too much faff to make at home. Best from a cafe, where you can choose what you want on your breakfast,
I prefer my full english mostly grilled these days and got to throw a couple of hash browns on there
No hash browns try Tatty Scones in stead way better
no place for hash browns on english breakfast
Sliced cooked potatoes fried. 👍🏽
Black pudding isn't burnt, bacon & sausage & mushrooms aren't cooked enough, beans can be fried as well in the bacon pan. We have toast or fried bread also. Once a week in our house, usually a Sunday
Most people in England have their eggs “sunny side up” rather than “easy over” but it’s still a personal choice.
In my experience most people like the egg White fully cooked, but the yolk runny. Best way to get that is to flip it and allow the top to cook for about 40 seconds. I think the yanks call that "over, easy" (flipped and runny).
Sunny side up, no snot for me. Just splash a bit of hot fat on it.
Yep, eggs need to be cooked with real butter ideally and I turn them over in the pan for ten seconds with the heat off.
Sunny side up almost always for me.
Good effort you two! My wife and I tend to grill the meat rather than fry as it's healthier, also we have scrambled eggs instead (just personal preference). Usually you cut the mushrooms up smaller and fry them in butter.
You can also use the oven to keep everything warm if you're struggling to juggle everything.
We don't have it very often, usually if on holiday (B&B's and hotels tend to serve them as standard) or maybe a couple times a year. Its more often than we do a "mini fry up" which is just bacon eggs and toast.
Cumberland sausages, smoked bacon, fried bread (deep fat fry bread and dry out), sliced mushrooms (fried ofc), sliced onion fried, tomatoes chopped in half, hash browns (is a shredded potato and onion egg flour mix, can buy them made here not sure if same there, is why I've listed what they are made from), toast, baked beans, blood sausage, fried egg. Use brown sauce (brand is hp). Jobs a good-un, enjoy.
Can’t be a proper breakfast without a Lorne sausage (or as the non Scottish call it square sausage)
Aw I used to luv square sausage xx
Not English, so not part of a Full English breakfast
Or slice lol 😂
@@neuralwarp That`s like saying Fish and Chips are English or Roast Beef is English the Basic idea of the breakfast was one that started with working class people in cafes close to markets (and latter truck stops see above) in major metropolitan areas like London or Birmingham or Glasgow its why as we see hear there are regional variations on a them So to Keep you happy maybe we should use the term UKGBNI Breakfast with local variations No wonder the Yanks get a shock when the try any were out side London and see the real England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland.

Totally agree but, it's a moot point, as it's an English breakfast. I'll see your Lorne sausage and raise you an onion Lorne...Mmmm....cannae beat it!
Great job on the Full English. The beauty of it is that you can (as with other things) tweak it to your requirements.
For me, brown sauce on the meats, tinned tomatoes - fresh ones have a snotty texture when fried, sliced mushrooms.
There will always be howls of outrage, however you prepare it because it's a personal thing.
I would definitely eat what you made. You are no longer Americans (official)
@rxp56 Booooo! Team tinned toms all the way babyyy!!
You should try an Ulster Fry - but make sure you've drawn up your will beforehand.
brown sauce is for the sausages, Toms: cut them the other way and cook 'em slower, should be so soft that the skin are nearly black and just slips off...BUT still looked like a good plate and yummy to me. (and NO NO NO to spinach..sorry.)
I would recommend that any cooked food, put on a plate & put in the oven on a low heat to keep it warm, while the rest is cooking.
Just to let you know the HP on the sauce stands for House of Parliament brown sauce. That's why there's a picture of it on the bottle.
You can grill most of the components for a healthier version.
@John Smith Haven't had fried bread for years!
Get out.
Definitely. I use Canelli Beans with tinned baby tomatoes (with a splash of honey and mixed herbs) for homemade baked beans. Pouched eggs on fresh bread (toasted). Mushrooms, Black Pudding, thick Lincolnshire or Turkey Sausages (grilled), Back Bacon (grilled), Tomatoes (grilled with a tiny splash of balsamic and a sprinkle of sugar on top). Then fried bread (but with olive oil and a faint hint of garlic). nom nom nom nom nom nom.
@John Smith o
I do my Sausages and Bacon in the oven.
Leaves more room on the Hobs for frying other stuff.
And cuts down on the oil use.
Even though its called a fry up, the main ingredients are grilled or baked, namely sausage, bacon,black pudding and tomatoes
Eggs are fried in a good amount of hot oil and the oil is flicked over the egg until cooked you do not flip the egg, when the eggs are cooked then you add bread to the same oil until lightly brown on both sides, this should have soaked up a lot of oil so place bread on kitchen towel or in toast rack to drain,
Drain off remaining oil from frying pan and empty a tin of chopped tomatoes into it, season to taste and let simmer, stirring occasionally then poor onto whatever's gone coldest and enjoy
The best sausages can usually be found at your local butchers or large supermarkets that have a butchers counter
Hope that helps
When I was a teenager delivering Sunday Papers, the whole village smelled of bacon and egg cooking. That was a long while ago though... people do different things now.
No brown sauce for me. Ketchup every time! An argument I have with my sister every time, she prefers HP sauce
I've always called brown sauce - 'daddy' sauce. Yes there's a brand of brown sauce called Daddies but HP is deffo the best. Ketchup I've always called 'baby' sauce as it's for kids. HP separates the men from the boys!
I have to agree with you on this one!
Gotta be brown sauce
A wonderful optional extra is “Bubble and Squeak” - left over mashed potatoes mixed with left over cabbage (and possibly other cooked vegetables) all mixed together and, you guessed it, fried!
Mushrooms tend to be cut then cooked but overall that looks pretty good.
Oh! Thanks for the tip!
@@WanderingRavens depends on the variety. To be uber authentic you'd have picked your own while taking the dog for a walk before breakfast. If they're bought they're usually button mushes & are better sliced..
Me getting actually angry when he added hot sauce and flipped the eggs 😅🤣😩😩😩
brown sauce goes on the sausages, and or bacon, we upt north tend to make a bacon butty, with tomato sauce for the best, but brown sauce is just as good. we never add salt and pepper or flip eggs.the mushrooms are best sliced into small strips, and fried, the fry up is supposed to give you energy for the day instant energy then usually a mealat 6 after a hard days work, maybe something at 1pm
Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey are quaking in their boots 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I have a friend from America and when I showed him our bacon in the UK he asked if it came from a rhino 😂😂😂
😂😂
That's amazing 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny thing is that bacon means back and UK bacon is from the back but US/streaky bacon is actually from the belly.
@@RichardBarclay Ah, but in some places the tradition is for 'Through-Cut' also called 'Irish Roll', where they don't cut the back from the streaky, but roll the whole thing up. It gives you a great big disc of a rasher. Really Good.
You should prick the sausage a few times before cooking, maybe a slight slice down the middle. And cook on a low to middle heat. The idea of a breakfast is getting it right so everything comes together in the same pan at the end. It just takes practice. Going back to sausages, I always have one in the pan as a taster to cut bits off and taste as I go.
Another great Vid. Thanks guys.
I'm with Eric on the chilli sauce on fried eggs - makes an eggcelent buttie. Grace gets 10mins in the naughty corner for the cheese comment.
I eat this as dinner sometimes. And you need to add hash browns!!
In Scotland, you might have tattie scone, lorne sausage and haggis. Stornoway black pudding is best - it doesn't have the white bits in it.. It can be consumed in cafes most days by manual workers such as building labourers; but most people would have it less often - that said, many places offer breakfast rolls, which are buttered bread rolls containing one or more of the items - bacon rolls are very popular. Some parts of the country have other names for these, such as 'barms'. Breakfast alternatives can included steamed fish - especially kippers; and porridge is often served as an alternative to cereal in Scotland. tea or coffee is the usual breakfast drink, but fresh orange juice, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and muesli are often served as a first course, before the main fry-up... likewise, toast is often unlimited and thickly spread with butter and jam, marmalade or a yeast extract called marmite. Cafes often allow you to choose your own items, or have everything available as a self-service buffet. They don;t call us the cholesterol capital of Europe for no reason
"How many, one or two?"
Me: about 13
You've made the locals feel hungry!
Brown sauce deffo HP and yea eat it with everything except the mushrooms and black pudding and tomatoes. I always eat brown sauce with fry up, and also with cheese on toast or cheese and beans on toast.
I probly eat fry up like every month or two... Can't be bothered to make it often... And I don't often eat it actually in the morning... I have for brunch, lunch, or dinner at night xxx
Sausage looks raw and burnt. You’re doing british bbq sausages perfectly 😂
As the late John LeCarre described it; "over-cooked tomatoes and undercooked sausages", for George Smiley's typical small London hotel's breakfast offering.
I generally cook the sausages in the oven, its easier to cook them through consistently and you don't have to keep turning them. I also usually cook the bacon in the oven as well. Then the eggs are fried. I fry the tomatoes but I generally stew the mushrooms until all the liquid evaporates then add some butter right at the end to finish them
So, I use Cumberland sausages, grill till no pink bits then keep warm in a low oven
Grill smoked back bacon, put in oven with sausages
Slice and fry the mushrooms in oil and butter
Fry the eggs (don’t flip them though)
Fry the bread instead of toasting
Heat the beans
Dump it all on plate and serve with some bread and flora spread
You were doing fine until you mentioned flora.
"More distance between the egg and the beans. I may want to mix them but I want that to be my decision. Use the sausage as a breakwater."
Jurassic Park!
Your kidding!
When the bean juice and runny yoke mix on the plate it creates a taste sensation.
Lol, this needs more likes
You usually have fry ups as a treat, there isn't really a certain time when you have them
True,though I usually make it no more than once a week unless I've got extra stuff to use up,and it tends to be more typically at the weekend,most typically Saturday morning.
Unless your a lorry driver 😂
good job and here are a few observations. 1) sausages are not burning they are browning and that is good 2) i would slice the mushrooms and fry them with oil and finely chopped garlic 3) bacon could have been done a little more but that is personal preference 4) i would fry the bread and add in some hash browns
Best time to eat this is when hung over, so how often to have it depends on your alcohol intake really!
Never flip the eggs 😂
Corned beef with mashed potatoes - all in one pot - the essential element to add to a full English breakfast. The hangover cure. Sausages - on a low heat and cook throughout whilst everything else cooks. Slice the mushrooms though, and fry those in butter, for extra healthiness. And HP sauce (beans/bacon and egg - always sunny side up) is essential :)
Now, after you have eaten it all, out into the fields for a full day of manual ploughing to work it off!
