Seriously, what is an English Breakfast? |

Dude! English breakfast ROCKS!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_English_breakfast
| Quote: |
Whether the fry-up is accompanied by orange juice and an abundant supply of tea or coffee, or only bacon, eggs, and toast, it is regarded as a ritual comfort and a wholly satisfying start to a day of work or leisure.
The ingredients of a fry-up vary according to region and taste. At its heart, the meal consists of bacon and eggs, but to earn the title of a "Full English" a number of other ingredients are expected.
English breakfast
Chips and beans with a boiled egg.The bacon and eggs are traditionally fried, but grilled bacon and poached or scrambled eggs may be offered as alternatives. Some of the additional ingredients that might be offered as part of a Full English breakfast include:
toast, fried bread ("fried slice"), or bread and butter
sausages
fried, grilled or tinned tomatoes
fried mushrooms
black pudding (a little less popular in contemporary times and in the south, but usually available)
baked beans (reasonably standard in caf� breakfasts, but not in more upmarket establishments)
possibly saut�d potatoes (uncommon),, hash browns (American in origin) or fried leftover mashed potatoes. Bubble and squeak (originally a way to use up leftover vegetables from the day before's main meals) has become a breakfast feature in its own right in some parts of England
condiments such as brown sauce (usually HP Sauce brand) and ketchup (sometimes called "red sauce" or tomato sauce)
When an English breakfast is ordered to contain everything available, it is often referred to as a "Full Monty", and often attributed to Field Marshal Montgomery, the prominent British military officer of World War II.
A full English breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, baked beans, hash browns, and half of a tomato
One breakfast permutation: two eggs, bacon, sausage, fried tomatoes, and bubble and squeak.There are many traditional caf�s in Britain that specialise in serving breakfast meals throughout the day. The Full English breakfast may therefore be listed as the "all day breakfast". Such caf�s (also called "caffs" or "greasy spoons") are typically frequented by construction workers working in the local area, or passing lorry drivers. As a consequence the very strong tea that is often served in such establishments is colloquially known as "builder's tea". |

I think I've had British envy most of my life for some weird reason. Maybe it's because my mom studied in London for five years when she was in high school and university and always told us these cool stories about the UK.

In Ireland we call it an Irish breakfast. Beans though-I would rather leave them out of the equation. Ditto chips (french fries to you North Americans). Also, it's much nicer grilled than fried if possible.
2 sausages
2 rashers (strips of bacon)
1 fried egg or 2 scrambled eggs
black pudding
white pudding
mushrooms if they're handy. Cook in a pot with a little milk, some butter and salt and pepper. Lovely.
grilled tomato
potato bread or hash browns or similar.
lots of bread
pot of tea
BROWN SAUCE essential. The closest you get here is A1 steak sauce. However, HP or YR brown sauce is the best.
I am getting back to Ireland in 12 days' time and that's what I want to have first. Been dreaming about it for months! |

If only you really could make an English breakfast in Korea. It would be very hard, not because certain things are literally unavailable, but because they don't have the same taste, particularly bacon, sausages and bread.
Also, Korean eggs won't fry with the same result as I am used to achieving back in old blighty. Korean eggs seem to go very rubbery and the yolk will break if you stare at it hard enough.
As for black pudding....exactly where have you seen that on sale?
Another tin of Kimchi please, Mr Kim. |

they used to have them at O'Brien's in Busan, but there wasn't enough demand, so they stopped.
we make ours. but we can't find decent baked beans or sausages in our rinky-dink bumblefreak town. |

I have the same problem. The beans are clearly a different variety - a bit bigger, for a start. The sausages available in my town are more like hot dog sausages, and the bacon is a full four leagues below the Premiership. The quality of meat in the small towns/countryside is often quite shocking. Obviously, I also can't get black pudding but I can understand that. It was great taking a trip to Thailand in the summer - great English breakfasts, with black pudding made in Thailand that was just as good as in England. |

The Campbells brand of baked beans are indeed big and I don't like them. They are also expensive.
I have found harmony and moderation with an E-mart sourced variety known as First Family Baked Beans. They are normal looking and tasting, not too big and much more reasonable at 700 won a tin.[/list] |
