delboy54 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 No HP sauce and no butter on the toast....I mean the toast isn't even on it's own plate, high risk of bean juice soaking into the toast, and two portions of beans ???......poor effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter viscosity Tomatoes yes or no?, tinned or not?, in a separate dish or combined with the whole breakfast? Black or white pudding? but never both Bacon cooked correctly to the same properties of a plastic rule (i.e. held at one end the bacon should remain horizontal and never droop) Sausages size, shape and black or not on the outside HP or tomato sauce (never both) Fried eggs cooked correctly Mushrooms? (absolutely not) Hash browns? up for debate, essential if no toast or fried bread available Tea or coffee?.....always English breakfast tea Buffet style or not? and is it good form to go up again for second helping? And no salad stuff like cucumber, cress, sprouts or lettuce should make itself present within the confines of the English Breakfast What else have I left off?? You can tell I am slacking at work today VTID Derek Going back to this. This lot couldn't even agree on how toasted the toast should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with beans flooding the middle of the plate, when there is the separate bowl for them? You are going to get bean juice all over the eggs. And the bacon looks like it has been murdered with ketchup. You just need a small condiment, preferably on the side of the plate, not slathered all over the engine room of the fry-up. No sausage, black pudding or mushroom. Frankly it's a poor show. Edit- it looks like square sausage which suggests it could be a scotch fry-up. Personally I would stick with the link sausage, less chance of it drying out. Edited March 21, 2023 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans in an orange juice glass and on the plate is just mad. Beans should not be separate, as it wastes some of the lovely moist (moist which gets left in the glass). Put the feckers on the plate with everything else. It's supposed to go on the toast a bit and mingle freely with its friends, the other ingredients. IF you don't want beans, fine, don't ask for them, but don't do baked bean apartheid and discriminate against them, walling them off in a silo of cold, unforgiving fruit juice glass. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted March 21, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2023 FFS it's all kicking off again. Bean juice is all part of the FEB. It won't kill you if it touches your toast, egg, etc. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If you’re worried about beans mingling with the eggs before you’re ready, usual etiquette is to use the sausages as a ‘bean barrier’. In the above pictures, what’s with cutting the sausages in half? Pre-slathering the bacon and sausages in sauce is wrong as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I am late to the party but for the record THICK CUT bacon. Good quality sausages. fried eggs (not crispy bottomed, not snotty, runny yolk), black pudding, mushrooms (cooked slow and low in butter), beans (on the plate obviously), Bread and butter (or better still bread and dippy) MrsVM has tomatoes (either kind) instead of beans and often wants scrambled eggs so I'll have both types of egg. I'm not making anyone poached eggs anymore. I'll eat tomatoes but I'm not fussed. Ambivolent towards toast and fried bread. chips/hash browns - U Wot M8? HP and Red on hand (unless there's LOADS of bean juice obviously when they're not needed) Mug of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer toast to bread and butter, think you need something with a bit more rigidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
