![We Were NOT Ready For This [PATTY MELT] Recipe !! WTH !!](/img/n.gif)
Eggs and bacon and sausages ,mushrooms,black pudding , tomatoes, beans , fried bread , toast and a cup of tea on the side
Two cups of tea ❤️❤️🇬🇧
You can have my black pudding and I'll have an extra fried slice.
Spot on. There will always be people that can take or leave the tomatoes, mushrooms, and/or black pudding. I can leave the tomatoes but the rest is essential to me.🤤
When Debenhams was still on the high street they offered proper bubble and squeak as an option for their breakfasts in the cafes
On the side of where ?
There's no better hangover cure than a full english. A good one will change your life 😂
Black Pudding is the oldest pudding going, dating back thousands of years
Yes, it's delicious. And it most definitely is a pudding.
And I'm just about to start cooking some clonakilty right now 🤤🤤
+ bacon, sausage, hash browns, soda bread, potato bread, mushrooms, egg (poached)
Yes. 'Pudding' originally meant meat and grain boiled in something like an intestine. Then it included boiling in a cloth (Xmas pudding).
The English word 'pudding' derives from the Old French word boudin meaning...black pudding
It does, it's a very old recipe, i read that the first mention of it in any literature is in Homer's 'Odyssey'.
I used to have a choice when renting a house with friends. Sunday Roast or a full english breakfast on Sunday. Couldn't physically do both!
If we chose the breakfast, we hung out at a cafe which was renowned for its massive platter for for four people to share and bottomless mugs (not cups)...of tea. It was beautiful! Sharing a massive platter of an english breakfast with your friends. Afterwards we stayed on the sofas in the cafe window seat, full to the brim, rolling around like walruses, drinking what was left of the tea! Happy Days🎉
When i was a kid (born in 54) when brits could afford a beef joint on Sundays served with mash potatoes, greens, carrots etc., if any mash and veg was left over, mum always made what we call "bubble and squeak " thats just all the mash n veg fried up in bacon fat served with the full English or left over beef.....omg havent had it in decades but am salivating at the memory 😂😂😂
Love bubble and squeak. ❤️
Mmmmm.....Bubble and Squeak!
A beef joint isn't expensive!
@@fleshen Yes it is, by comparison to other options! I've just checked on Sainsbury'd website, and beef joints rnge from £11 - £15 per kg, whereas whole chickens cost between £3- £9 per kg.
Now you can certainly argue the higher price for beef is justified, but it is high!
Oh the taste of good bubble and squeak!
Tea, definitely TEA!
Also, "bubble and squeak"
was involved in an English Breakfast
(replacement for 'hash browns')
Black pudding has been around for centuries. The version you see now stems from 600 years ago
We do Bury Market every so often ( about 45mins away) specially for black pud.. Freeze it & it keeps well. Sains does the Bury one but its sliced.
The Spanish love a blood sausage. Not sure if they're related?
That's pretty cool!
@@emmsue1053 I'm lucky, I'm about that far if I take the tram. if I were to drive I'm about 20 mins away.
I am in accrington
Shes like i just make a sausage patty. He's like its the best thing ive eaten. Wow you two are amazing. True genuine love
Full English is very much a saturday morning breakfast.
You have it in the morning and can then go out for the day, shopping, doing stuff with the kids etc and not really have to worry about lunch. Aside from snacks it keeps you going till your evening meal.
Or, Sunday mornings. If youve been out on the beer saturday night there is no better hangover cure than a full English on the sunday.
Midweek people do anything, cereal, bacon sandwich, stop at mcdonalds and grab an egg mcmuffin..
That makes sense! :)
Cooking it is easy. The skill comes in the timing. Everything needs to be ready at the same time. Looking forward to seeing you make one.
Hi guys. Tattie scone (potato cakes )are lovely. I like mine fried till they are crispy. You can make your own and they are so easy to make. We were taught in cooking classes at school. 😋
Fried bread is best.
You can also have 'hash browns' and plum tomatoes [instead of the grilled/fried ones].
Yes very nice. My German relatives love it and always want it when they visit! lol
I worked in a cafe/deli for a long time and I made a couple of hundred Full English Breakfasts daily . At home I make them on weekends and make them if family are visiting . I can do a full English for 12 people in around 30 minutes , it’s all about getting your timings right.
Send me an invite I'll be your friend lol
@@Garyskinner2422 Lol
What time do you open? On me way.
@@tmac160 I still remember the best seller …. The Belly Buster 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 Sausage, 2 toast , tomatoes , mushrooms ,
baked beans, black pudding, cup of tea, red/brown sauce . Queue up nicely Lol 😂
@@mariejoyce5150 I just call that a Normal Breakfast.
Theres one key thing missing from this... The brown sauce. Most people would say 'HP' is the best, but for me I prefer 'Daddies'.
"Its not really a pudding, its more a type of sausage": The word pudding comes from the word boudin, which means.... sausage.
Boudin actually means Black pudding. and a Pudding can be anything boiled or steamed in a cloth or casing or even in a pudding bowl.
Looking at it a little further, though the literal translation of boudin is Black Pudding it comes from the latin, Botellus and that means small sausage, to be fair it's hard to distinguish between the 2, i think it could be argued it's both. If you are from the US you may think of it as Dessert, but in the UK we have a lot of savoury Puddings, such as Steak and Kidney Pudding.
Puddings like Black pudding, haggis, white pudding and lost of other variants come from long long ago. Past ancestors never wasted any part of an animal after slaughter but some parts would be either tough or very wet so needed to be combined with grains and slow cooked. However, cooking for a long period was very time consuming and required a lot of attention if you were to ensure it isn’t overcooked in parts etc. Consequently, encasing the ingredients in a sealed tube (usually a natural casing from the body of the animal such as stomach or intestine etc.) and then cooking in a pot of gently boiling water would keep all the ingredients (wet stuff) together and allow the tougher bits to cook long and slow without drying out. Additionally, keeping the pudding casing sealed would also keep the food from going off so could be stored (by hanging).
The term pudding originally related to anything that was cooked encased and with wet heat (immersed in water or over steam). The idea developed to using other encasings like suet pastry and cloth. In Scotland they have a steamed fruit pudding (I like it with a full Scottish) that is called a clootie dumpling (clootie is Scot’s for ‘cloth’ because the dumpling is wrapped in a muslin cloth or tea towel these days and them steamed/boiled).
'Pudding' is actually from an old Celtic word 'put' meaning 'bag' and an inflated skin used as a buoy. The word in this form is found all around northern Europe. A derivation is 'puddle' as in short and fat. Like Welsh 'pwtyn' a short and fat body.
It's quite common to have orange juice with a Full English! It cuts through the fat and savoury a bit! Also, I can confirm what other comments are saying - black pudding is veeeeeery old, definitely pre-war. Black pudding in England goes back at least to the late medieval period, and cooked blood foods have existed in cultures across the world for a long old time! They also really don't taste of blood - the only way I can describe it is that it tastes "meatier than meat itself"! Thanks for the video you two!
a good full english breakfast will set you up for the day, lasting all the way through to an evening meal, I will always have a full english while staying at a hotel as it means I can work through the day without having to stop for a snack at lunch time.
It's the best Hangover Cure too! Always settled my husband's stomach and got him back in the land of the living! 🤭
I would imagine so!
Yep ! I recall a colleague of mine saying that he couldn't manage breakfast. By seven o'clock that night he was famished. The words "Told you so." may have passed my lips ...
@MiningForPies Not if you enjoy it occasionally. Don't have to eat it daily, do you?
FRIED BREAD
is a must how did she not have it in her video
She did say “Toast or Fried Bread”
@@ArsenaISarah Me: Toast and Fried Bread.
Fried bread makes me feel sick. Toast only for me. And/or bubble & squeak.
@@mehitabel6564 wtf is bubble and squeak
Potato and cabbage mixed together and fried@@aaronoriain229
To make you feel full longer, protein is the way to go. Black pudding goes back thousands of years, nothing from a 'kill' should go to waste. Skins for clothing, sinew for stitching etc etc.
Only thing not used from a pig is it's squeal.
Proteins work for some people, don't work for others. If I need to be going for a long time, I need to stay away from proteins, because with most proteins I am famished an hour later, but with meat (especially with beef) I get literally ill. I need carbs and lots of vegetables. Carbs give you calories, the fibers in vegetables slow the carbs down and keep you going for much longer.
@@alicetwain I find this very interesting, most meats travel slowly through the stomach and gut due to the increase in time that it takes to digest. Carbs are processed more quickly, thus triggering the brain to request more food.This is why eating a Chinese meal leaves you wanting more after an hour or so. Perhaps pulses are the way to go?
@@zeeblats Hence the beanz. I just have 600ml of an home made Kefir vegetable smoothie, containing Banana, Carrot, Broccoli, Spinach, Tomato, Scallions and Sprouts all raw and defrosted if frozen overnight in the fridge, the thawed water included. Keeps me going until dinner in the evening. Only 250ml of Kefir needed and some low fat milk to make pourable.
@@alicetwain 'calories' don't "fill" you long term. You can have an extremely high calorie meal and feel hungry shortly after, or a relatively low calorie meal and feel fuller for longer. Higher calorie food tends tends to give a more 'short term boost', and people often get hung up on checking for calories vs actual overall nutrition. Strange that carbs sustain you for longer than proteins, as they 'burn' faster, but interesting you should say.
I served in the British Army for 10 years. I can honestly say I had a Full English every day (unless I was away on holiday or 'other things')
Puts hairs on your chest lol
Met plenty of WRACs like that!
@@petersmithm9 Nothing wrong with a full English on a Sunday morning after a Saturday night with a WRAC girl......
@@mickg8306what about breakfast with a WRAF, there’s nothing like the smell of kerosene at an airfield first thing in the morning!
I have it every Monday evening for my tea (dinner) but with tinned plum tomatoes.
Plum tomatoes are very english! I love them on cheese on toast.
Plum tomatoes and real tomatos 😋 oh yep.
Everytime I see her face it's just makes me so happy.😂
The name pudding has been around a long time. In Tudor times they could be sweet or savoury and involved stuffing an intestine with what you cook. Rice pudding, for example, would have been milk, sugar, rice and fruit boiled in a sausage-like skin. In England a haggis would also have been called a pudding. Christmas puddings would have been cooked this way. Over time the foods changed shape but retained the pudding identity. Steak and kidney pudding, for example, migrated from a boiled intestine to a boiled suet pastry. If the dessert (or savoury dish) has the name pudding it probably harkens back to these origins (even if ingredients and style of cooking may have changed).
As a young girl, I would go horse riding on a Sunday. Dad and I would be up early, he would cook toast, fried eggs and mushrooms. Our special time and a yummy brekky 😊
Just made one in Rotterdam. Fried eggsx2 ,fried bread, 3sausages, beans, 2 rashers of bacon, and mushrooms. No food now until 5-6 pm I've had a good meal
Exactly, i always have it before a hike because it means that i dont have to carry snacks around with me or make stops.
@geoffbeattie ... You're like me, no black pudding 😂... I never have black pudding, it's usually 2 eggs, 2 or 3 sausages, 3 rashers of bacon, beans, mushrooms and two halves of fresh tomato, and either fried bread or toast.
I have never as an adult been a fan of breakfast, so when I was at work my morning trip on the London Underground to the City was Newspaper or Library Book and a Mars Bar, but since retirement I have changed my ways it's Porridge Oats every morning and I find it sticks with me to around 3 PM.🧐
Per the Encyclopaedia Britannica:
"Black pudding has been a recorded item of British cuisine since at least the 1400s, although it is certainly far older. The Odyssey of Homer mentions a sausage 'filled with fat and blood.'"
Thats strange, as its from great Britain and Ireland. But of course yous brits alwasy try to claim everything as yours
as a brit i aprove of this breakfast looks like a good representation of a standard full English, though we do have toast, fried bread is almost a must on an English breakfast, it varies between regions, lorn squares, tatty cakes and even haggis in Scotland, could also find hash browns in some places. I love black pudding and i'ts been around for thousands of years, but for the love of god steve don't you dare put fruit on a full English other than tomato, it's supposed to be kinda unhealthy lol
Black Pudding is amazing..
Not if ya get from a bleeding "big chain" supermarket, 6892 !
Black pudding , definitely not full English definitely Yes
never had a full English served with toast in 74 years, always fried bread. Toast is served separate for after you have finished to eat with marmalade/jam.
English breakfast varies from place to place me fried eggs.... bacon... sausages... black pudding... tinned tomatoes....fried bread.. mushrooms...
It sounds heretical, but I prefer the tomatoes tinned...I'll make my own way to the Tower of London!
Gotta be tinned tomatoes and fried bread for me too!
OMG That's ateast a 20 year lock up in that tower
Fried bread certainly, but tinned tomatoes? Just No! 😁
Tinned tomatoes are good for one thing only, making sauce!
Full Scottish breakfast has square sausage, tattie scone and sometimes a haggis slice. There are many regional variations of black pudding. Stornoway black pudding has protected status.
Stornoway black pudding is a work of art
Personally, I only have a full English if I'm staying at a hotel (although another favourite when someone else is cooking is kippers). At home, it's muesli, orange juice and coffee.
What would you have with Kippers? Iv'e never had them.
@@mydigicraftscrafts8649
Personally, I have them with brown toast. If they're cooked in butter they should be quite moist.
@@mydigicraftscrafts8649 God, I love kippers.I just have them with good, brown bread. Sadly, they're one of the few foods we can't get , since emigrating from the UK. The other things I miss are crumpets, pork pies and pasties 😢😢 I've learnt how to make a good pasty, though
I normally have a cooked breakfast on a Sunday as I have time to prepare it. During the week its porridge with a mixture of chia, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, golden linseed, brown linseed, and protien powder. I use unsweetened almond milk this breakfast is low in carbs but high on the GI scale so it is a slow release meal
Where is the fried bread ?
That's what I thought! lol
I like plum tomatoes and hash browns too.
She did say ‘Toast or fried bread’
I gave it to the dog under the table! 😏
@@anglosaxon5874 You may like Hash browns, but they are bloody American.
@@ArsenaISarah Both is the only answer.....
Potatoe scones is mash Potatoes and flour seasoned into a dough rolled flat and fried dry it a griddle or frying pan
Aussie here - best "Full English" i have had was on a Cruise in 2019. I ordered room Service one morning, Had 2 scrambled eggs, toast on a side plate with spreads eg jam/peanut butter, hash browns, mushrooms, baked beans, sausages, bacon, a small pot of coffee and a glass of apple juice and a container of BBQ sauce. no tomato or black pudding for me as i don't like either. Cost me 28 bucks Au and worth every cent. one of the best breakfasts i ever had.
That wasn't a Full English breakfast though.
@@williamdom3814 that is how it was listed on the menu, also why i used the quotation marks. Consider it a regional variant for the Australian cruise sector.
@SlowmovingGiant What you describe in the full English you got on your cruise ship actually to me, sounds quite passable. The trouble is, whenever anyone brings up the topic of what a Full English breakfast consists of it's enough to start a war! 🙂 It's a very personal thing like 'brown' sauce or 'red' sauce. Personally I would have sausage, bacon, fried eggs, fried bread and baked beans as the 5 basic ingredients. I don't like tomatoes (except in a salad) but can take or leave mushrooms. As for black pudding I have never tried it, just the thought puts me off though I've got a mate who couldn't have a full English without it. I don't consider hash browns as part of a full English though I have enjoyed them when there has been no fried bread available. Unfortunately, since being diagnosed with diabetes and having suffered strokes I am unable to have a full English. I sadly miss them. At the end of the day it's what ever you personally like in a full English that should go in the full English. 🙂
Weekday breakfast at home is often toast, porridge or other cereal, however it is also common to grab a sausage or bacon roll, perhaps with fried or scramled egg added, and a cuppa on the commute to work.
Some people might also have a croissant or other pastry with a coffee, at home or on their commute.
If there is a choice between fried bread or toast it's always fried bread for me and tinned tomatoes.
I choose both.
Hi Lynsey, I think you might be thinking of the short story Vendetta by Guy De Maupassant, about the widow Saverini who lives in Sicily, Italy, and who seeks revenge on Nicholas Ravolati after he murders her son. The widow makes a scarecrow and stuffs it with black blood sausage (black pudding) and trains her dog to attack it in her plan for revenge. We also covered this short story at school in Scotland. In Scotland we have bacon, egg, sausage, mushrooms, tomato, fruit pudding, black pudding and fried potato scone in our breakfasts and you can buy an all day breakfast at any time of the day here, it's good.
May I have one sausage done until it's blackened. Bacon, tomato, could you please splash my eggs?
Can I have double that amount of beans and mushrooms. No black pudding. Oh and can I have two pieces of fried bread? Thank-you.
This used to be our Christmas morning breakfast. We didn't do breakfast until I had my sons and they had porridge before school.
We will sometimes have this now as an evening meal because I'm disabled and my son, who is my carer does all the cooking now. We both get bored of food so I have asked for this once a week for the last month or so. He just doesn't give me the two fried bread I dream of lol
My family run one of the biggest black pudding companies in the U.K. We have over 200 awards for our products. It used to be a way to use all of an animal but us Brits love it so much that our factory alone produces tonnes of it a week. Absolute must on a Full English.
I absolutely love black pudding ❤ And it's very good for you
Black pudding is something I would never put on a full English breakfast, in fact I wouldn't put it on anything, the bin is about the only thing it's fit for.
@martinwebb1681 I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong 🤣
@MiningForPies well it's not like I eat it everyday 😅 I'm iron deficient and black pudding along with leafy greens helps with that . Best regards to you 👍❤️
@MiningForPies As the French say ' all things in moderation , except moderation ' ❤️👍👋 I guess that's irony 🤔 Best wishes to you
When I was a child. A full proper breakfast consisted of first half a grapefruit, then the fry up.(full English breakfast) and you would finish with a toast and marmalade. 😮
Unfortunately as much as I love grapefruit I can't have it because it affects my blood pressure tables, but the full English doesn't 😂😂😂
I am retired now, and yep about one a week, but when i was working had one practically every work day, but as lunch, sp most days i have porridge as breakfast
You can't beat a good full English breakfast😊
We'll definitely have to try it when we make it across the pond! :)
Well, you could beat the eggs ...
@@reactingtomyroots
ua-cam.com/video/WU994CLrFHI/v-deo.htmlsi=O3gzsx34uousHCSW
A full Scottish beats it, hands down!
Full Irish beats it in its sleep.
In the week I eat either cereal/toast with jam/crumpet with jam/potato cake with butter/fruit. Full English sometimes at weekend or at work if I feel really hungry around 10:30.
In my opinion, what is shown in the video is just the third course of a proper four-course Full English Breakfast. First course is a bowl of porridge; second is something fruity - my choice is a grapefruit, or a bowl of tinned grapefruit segments. Then comes the fry-up - fried bread essential, and I like fried AND scrambled egg - accompanied by a nice glass of orange juice. Finally, a nice cup of tea with slices of toast and marmalade. Then off to A&E!
I dont do grilled tomatoes, i love tinned plum tomatoes with some juice to mop up with your bread and toast. Im partial to some fried potatoes on my breakfast, no chips or fries.!! Cook a few baby potatoes extra with your lunch, let them go cold and slice them into coin sized pieces and simply fry in your bacco fat until they start to go golden and crisp up slightly. Wonderful.!!
The 2 main sausages- Cumberland and Lincolnshire. Cumberland is mainly seasoned with black pepper and Lincolnshire is a more herby sausage
And they're both c**p.
I like the Lincolnshire sausages personally, but not on a full English, just plain pork sausages for me, but for any other meal I have the Lincolnshire sausages.
What about pork and leek sausages….or from our local butcher cracked black pepper pork sausage….it really livens up the breakfast!!! …and don’t forget the brown sauce!!!!
I had friends over from USA and they wanted to try the traditional Fish N Chips. So while there I bought black pudding and chips. They tried it without knowing what it was, loved it and then made the mistake of googling the ingredients lmao
In some cafes and restaurants near me they add a few hash browns, which isn't traditional but i like them, i don't bother with them or black pudding if i'm making it at home though. Yes you are right, a full English keeps you going all day! i usually have it if i have a long day ahead and going out somewhere, then have a snack in the evening.
We love hashbrowns!
She is wrong Black pudding fits into the old definition pudding is more about the shape and consistency so tou can have sweet savoury etc. its essentially something soft contained in a skin. For example a pudding on a ship is essentially a filled rope bag used as cushions.
If you've ever wondered how the British created an Empire from such a small nation it was the Full English breakfast that did it. Apart from when they were eating weevil infested ship's biscuits on long voyages or salty porridge if you were Scottish.
I think you need to revist History. How deluded.
@@Nutrient-Gold Which bit,, the salty porridge or the weevily biscuits ?
An All Day Breakfast is the same as a full English, can be eaten at anytime of the day..
Usually gets served with hash browns now & can ask for chips at most cafes/pubs aswell, especially on a All Day 👌🏻
We still have a full English breakfast here in South Africa (our British roots) over weekends when there's time to cook. But black pudding never caught on here as the thought of eating blood is disgusting and there are biblical prohibitions about eating blood (we're traditionally a Calvinist Christian country....). Our full English consists of usually: crispy fried bacon, sausages, grilled tomato and mushrooms, toast and eggs - either fried or scrambled eggs. Sometimes fried potatoes too if its late in the morning i.e. brunch
With Mrs Balls on the side....or tomato sauce.
Fried potato is an excellent addition which you used to see more often in England but not so much now due to hash browns becoming popular, and easy.
@@hardywatkins7737 ... Hash browns on a full English is criminal, I'd rather have chips or sauteed potatoes if I was having a potato option with it, but never hash browns.
2 sausages,
2 smoked back bacon rashers,
2 fried eggs,
Baked beans,
Fried mushrooms,
Grilled tomatoes,
1 fried slice of bread,
2 slices of toast,
And a very large mug of tea to wash it down.
Optional extras:
Black pudding,
Hash browns,
Etc.
On a regular day I usually eat eggs on toast, or beans on toast.
Alternatively other popular breakfast items are a combination of cereals, fruits, yoghurt, pastry, toast
Have you ever heard of fried slice, basically a slice of bread fried in oil until golden brown 😃
Morning guys…..I’ve just had my breakfast…Fruit and Fibre flakes and 2 coffees lol…..Full English is a treat! 😊
Your arteries are thankful.
Hopefully unvaxxed.
@@mikeoxlong4110
I like what you did there.
Brit here too, I've just had Fruit and Fibre flakes, a round of wholemeal roast with Olive spread and a cup of tea. Full English is very rare in my house, but I do love them! 😃😃
@@trytellingthetruth.2068 my arteries have hereditary heart disease, so my food needs to reflect that!
Lindsey you could totally make the link sausages. You just need to get your hands on sausage casings, and stuff them with the mix you're already making. You can get synthetic casings these days, you don't need to go for natural casings if you can't find/don't like them.
Tinned tomatoes were the traditional thing rather than fresh cooked tomatoes although the posh would expect a fresh tomato grilled so now most places now do grilled unless you go to a greasy spoon café (cheaper café).
Also black pudding can be eaten fresh rather than grilled but most places say it should be cooked because of the ingredients in it but it's actually steamed when it's made
I am a working class Northerner and we always had fresh when i was growing up in the 70s and as the Full English has it's origins in the 14th century, way before canned Toms existed.
@@nealgrimes4382 ... I agree, it has always been fresh tomatoes every place I've been, and that's since the 1970s, although I did get served a full English breakfast once many years ago in a café in Essex that had tinned tomatoes on it, and what a mess that was, literally a plate swimming in watery tomato juice and a single soggy plum tomato, a simply revolting mess.
A couple of slices of toast and Flora buttery spread for me for breakfast most days. Usually need some dried fruit mid morning though to keep me going for lunch.
Hey Steve and Lindsey,i promise black pudding does not taste as bad as it sounds,it's not like you can taste the blood or anything,its really yummy but if you truly can't get use to the blood factor,you could try white pudding,it's made the same way as black pudding but no blood also very yummy.
Thanks for the tip!
Seconded
saturday morning break at work was a fry up there was 8 of us and each person would bring a breakfast item enough to feed 8 .. we used to feel well full when it was time to go back to work...
Hi guys , black pudding actually goes back to Roman times but later produced up in the North of England . I love it its not what you think it's going to taste like . Yummy 😋
The Bury Black Pudding (I'm lucky I don't live far from Bury) is my favorite pudding the others just don't taste as nice
@@williamronneywilliams2639 proper authentic black pudding .I'm in Kent and love the stuff .
Not just in the North of England, ... lots of places, and worldwide.
@@hardywatkins7737 that's true . But if we are talking in terms of the uk it's the north that popularised it . 🙂
@@claregale9011 Perhaps popularised or just made particularly good ones, but black pudding has always been made in other parts of England too. White or 'hogs' pudding too.
black pudding =delish! I have been eating it since I was a kid. my hubs who isn't Irish likes it, but we had my in-laws for an Irish breakie and my FIL LOVED it and he asked what it was I said black pudding, it's a sausage of course his son my hubs said it's made out of blood, that was it my FIL was done, he wouldn't eat it any more LOL
As an Englishman I will shout out for my favourite sausage, the Scottish square sausage, absolutely delicious.
Lorne sausage
@@petergordon4525 Thank you, I didn't know that was what they are called. I was introduced to them at countless truck stops and cafes across Scotland. Only once found them in local supermarkets.
Actually Larne sausage
@@nicksykes4575icelands sells them. The only place I know where to get them
We used to have what we call a fry up on a Sunday morning growing up,I now eat cereal or porridge for breakfast.
The Full English is a variation on a theme and people will have their own preferences as to what to include and what to leave out.
Full English; Full Irish, Ulster Fry, Full Welsh or Full Scottish... They are all variations on a similar theme, and they are all choose from a list anyway.
Growing up in Scotland sunday breakfast would fill you for most of the day it was bacon,eggs,black pudding,fruit pudding,white pudding,haggis,lorne sausage and fried bread occasionally also with fried clootie dumpling
I remember a "Full English" as a feature of a hotel stay. When travelling on business, or on holiday. Usually hotels prepare cook their full English in the oven. A tray of sausages, a tray of tomato halves etc.
its name depends on the country you are in, only a full English in England the local cook names it! but the ingredients change too more local items
I changed over from hob to oven years ago because it makes cooking volume and timing easier when doing it for more people. It's generally only the eggs and fried bread I do on the hob, but you need a bit of the bacon fat to flavour up the pan so that the fried bread is optimal. I dont do fried bread every time though. I love it though!
Busy day breakfast is classically either toast with butter and a topping (jam, marmite, marmalade, peanut butter) or cereal like corn flakes, weetabix, shredded wheat, muesli with milk.
An old saying in Britain is eat like a king st breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper in the evening.
That apparently works if you’re looking to loose weight.
The one missing ingredient from that was Colman's English Mustard on the sausages and black pudding. Also Brown Sauce goes well with all these things, especially bacon, as any bacon butty eater will attest to
Weetabix with eggs? Fry-up with fruit?
Whatever next?
Yuck! I could still understand a fruit juice, or maybe I'd go as far as having fried bananas, but eggs with Weetabix? NOooooo!
Yeah, utterly rank
Perhaps scones called biscuits and biscuits called cookies. Funny old world.
I agree that way leads too anarchy
Heres a thought guys...maybe he meant alongside...like for breakfast...not actually on the same plate.....🤔 duh
You definitely should try Black Pudding, it's amazing, my kids love it too. It's one of those things that you tell them what's in it once they know they like it.
There are a few different things in British cuisine that come from times of hardship.
In times of war especially when food was severely rationed in the UK, as you correctly say, everything had to be used. You couldn't waste anything.
A good example of this was during WW2 Hitler knew the UK could not support it's food needs by itself and needed food imports to survive. This is primarily the reason why the battle of the Atlantic occurred whereby Nazi Germany used it's U boats to sink as many British cargo/transport ships as possible that were bringing such as wheat over from Canada. In essence the Nazis were trying to starve Britain into surrendering.
This led to things like the dig for victory campaign where any and every spare plot of land, however tiny here in the UK was dug over and used for growing vegetables. The vegetables you grew yourself were "off" ration so it was a good way to provide yourself with extra food. People like my grandparents never saw such as a banana in five or six years because you just couldn't get them here during WW2.
A legacy of that is that even today, some people like my parents still have a vegetable garden/plot or allotment. I remember growing up as a child and we were more or less self sufficient in terms of vegetables.
Some of the cheapest, survival food is still some of the tastiest. The best example is Yorkshire puddings and our version of pancakes.
There is no reason why Britain couldn't sustain itself, if it had been managed properly.
We have an abundance of fruit, vegetables, meat and fish.
Of course, these days, people want oranges, pineapple and melon and other fruit and veg that can't be grown in our climate.
@MiningForPies I never said we have sustained ourselves, I said we should be able to with the right management.
I'm 73 this month and I had the full monty every single day of my working life. Now I'm retired, I still have a fried brekkie but toned down a bit as I no longer need the calories.
For the record, I'm still fit as a butcher's dog.
Wow, I can’t believe you had a fried breakfast every single day of your working life. I have never met anybody that has done that. Congratulations that is some record.
Beans on toast... It's amazing.
Black pudding Aldi might have it in the US,it comes in with a few slices and sealed,just ask the store staff for it,you can freeze the ones you do not use too.
We don't count carbs we just eat what we like
That's him, Rocky. Too much bollocks on here.
While it may sound like the word bread the welsh breakfast food laverbread is NOT a bread replacement. It's an algal seawees combined with oatmeal.
the easiest way to describe the origins of black pudding, is basically it's the worlds oldest form of 'leftovers' as you Americans would say, it was originally taking every last piece of a kill and making something out of the scraps and iron rich blood, instead of letting it go to waste, obviously over time it has become a lot more refined and the risk of getting an illness from it has declined to almost zero as a result of proper food hygiene standards.
They look really good!
When I was in my early 20s I used to meet up with friends every Sunday for an early morning swim followed by a Full English at a very cheap cafe. These days (now in my late 40s) I only have them a handful of times a year, but usually on holiday or for treat at a nice cafe or pub, somewhere with good quality ingredients! I can't even remember the last time we actually cooked up our own tbh, I have eggs every morning without fail, and hubby has a flapjack (the US equivalent is kind of a chewy granola bar) and/or banana.
That's a pretty good representation of an English breakfast... the thing about it is, you can customise it to your liking. Don't like black pudding? Don't have it. Scrambled eggs instead of fried? Fine. Some people prefer tinned tomatoes instead of the beans or the fresh tomato. Best served the morning after a heavy night at the pub. You could probably come up with a good approximation of it over there with some 'canadian bacon' and Lindsay's home-made sausage recipe sounds good, especially with the sage she mentioned.
I normally don't do breakfast at all, unless coffee counts as a meal. But on a Sunday, yeah... it's a treat for getting through another week, lol.
'Blood sausage' is what Norwegians and such call Black pudding. You should check out a full Scottish breakfast as we use slice square sausage as well as links. We also use tattie scones, fried bread, and white pudding.
You forgot haggis
@@andrew-ih8sw I did. I'm ashamed that I did. I've even got some ready for my breakfast in the morning 🙈
Is that Lorne sausage ? I used to get that from a Scottish butcher north of Durban, SA. Delicious.
@joyelmes7814 It is. It's lorne, slice or butchers slice, depending on where you come from.
What's white pudding made from.? I've never come across that.
I've only ever had a full English once when I was a kid in a local café back in the 80's! I prefer porridge or some other cereal in the mornings.
I think you two should do a video on cooking a Full English breakfast that would be ace to see your reaction but please please please use HEINZ baked beans 😂
Nah.....Branston baked beans are better
We've definitely thought about it! Just wouldn't have the black pudding.
@@reactingtomyroots Branston baked beans are a very good alternative, can't you guys get black pudding from your local butchers? Or is it banned in the USA?
Heinz are too runny, Branston are better
In Scotland we have a slice of haggis aswell as bacon, egg, square sausage, black pudding. Beans tattie scone fried bread. Mushrooms and tomato optional. Some of us like tin plum tomatoes. Lynsay can easily find a scottish square sausage recipe as its made with steak mince. Corsely ground. Formed in to a large long rectangular shape. Its then sliced (some like it think and aome like it thin)
Thank goodness! A proper British breakfast! None of that disgusting hash brown nonsense. ❤
Nothing wrong with hash browns. Each to their own but people move with the times.
@@Nutrient-Golddoesn't mean you have to put something in the breakfast just because faddies say so!
@@CarolWoosey-ck2rg you clearly know nothing about the History of the breakfast and how things have been added and changed over time. For example in Victorian times they would have cold meats. Eggs weren't part of it until later. Tomatoes were foreign. Move with the times. Things evolve unlike your thinking. If it was up to you we'd still be having oats/porridge as the defacto English breakfast as per the Medieval times ‐ "what is this faddy nonsense about bacon, black pudding and sausage?" 🤦
@@Nutrient-GoldInnovations are supposed to be an improvement, not make it worse!!!
bubble & squeak.
The Tatty Scones are also popuar in Ireland but they are called Potato Farls or Potato Cakes.
Potato Cakes warmed in a toaster and lightly coated with some butter, and eggs + bacon make a great, simple evening meal.
Black pudding is very popular in France, Germany, Spain and Portugal, Ireland have the white pudding which is my favourite, the French has plenty of garlic in theirs. Ive just finished 2 Bury black pud on toast
Scotland also have white pudding lots of crossover between Scottish and Irish we also do a fruit pudding do they do that in Ireland?
On weekdays we usually have toast or cereal in the main, fry ups’ are usually sat and Sunday breakfasts
Looks pretty good 😋, can also include bubble n squeak, and personally would swap the fresh tomatoes for canned Italian plum tomatoes, they seem to be perfect on a breakfast plate. With the baked beans we also have bbq beans which are delicious plus can get cheesy, curry and chilli varieties all of which are great on baked potatoes, i was always wary of trying black Pudding but absolutely love it now especially with a touch of hp sauce 😋
That sounds good! I had no idea there were so many different bean varieties but I guess that makes sense. haha
What is bubble n squeak?? Haven't heard that one I don't think.
@@reactingtomyrootsbubble & squeak is basically all your left overs fried up with an egg to make something similar to a fratata
@@reactingtomyroots
Bubble & Squeak is what you make with the leftovers from Sunday roast.
You take the veg and potato, chop it up fine, firm it into patties, flour them and fry them.
While being cooked, it bubbles and squeaks.
We always cook far too much veg just to make it on a Monday.
@reactingtomyroots bubble n squeak is basically left over potatoes and veg, mainly cabbage, carrots etc, mashed up together and reheated in frying pan with little oil or butter, is delicious especially with bacon and sausages, still a few good transport cafe's about that serve a good breakfast 😋, also some chain restaurant/pubs like toby carvery and Stonehouse carverys serve a pretty nice all can eat buffet breakfast, I'm sure there's a good few followers myself included that would happily treat you and your lovely family to that breakfast
Either is good but agreed, tinned is better IMO, slightly sweeter
British baked beans on toast is the usual dish. I put a large knob of butter and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce in my beans as they are warming on the hob. Yummy.
A good full English is from a cafe in U.K.
Making your own is always better.
There's a cafe literally a few minutes down the road from me that does a full English if you don't fancy making yourself.
@iandrew6347 ... Agreed, but some cafe's are far better than others, so choose wisely I say.
british baked beans are softer and smaller and the tomatoe sauce has a slight sweetness xx
I prefer tinned plum Tom's more bacon than normal, the rest the same as in vid
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Monstrous! My sister in law would include the sauce from the tin in a big sloppy mess.
No, fresh Toms every time.
The sausage patty you described with ground pork and sage is essentially what Lincolnshire sausage is in the UK except in sausage shape instead of patty
