Brown sauce or at a push ketchup but anything else is complete anathema around these parts. A little bit of mustard mixed in marmalade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause that really enhances the bacon-ness of the sandwich for me rather than hiding it behind the albeit delicious taste of butter, yet without losing any of that precious fat. Then stick it in the air fryer for a sexy fried bread addition Edited March 26 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 What is the correct proportion of items on a good Full English? How many sausage/bacon/egg/hash browns and that? I'd always rather have more bacon than sausage (ooer), but I do like an extra hash brown. And, it has to be the correct balance of wet and dry together. Not too much beans, egg, sloppy toms, but not too dry. I don't think people consider this enough. 3 rashers, 2 sausages, 2 hashy b's, 1 egg, ramekin of beans, ramekin of tomatoes, maybe a touch more, and then two portions of some kind of bread (toast, fried, or just bread). That's me. So 3:2:2:1:1:1:2 for the bacon/sausage/hb/egg/beans/toms/bread (don't do mushrooms, so add a zero to the end for the mouldy devil lumps) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, thanks for asking. 2 sausage, 2 egg, 2 bacon, 2 hashers, 2 slices of toast, 2 slices of lightly friend bread (sometimes), a ramekin of non sloppy beans and maybe a grilled tomato for garnish. Mushrooms and black pudding in the bin. Hot drink and glass of juice. Usually followed by a big poo about 30 mins later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I will so, very wary about people that have as many sausage (ooer) as bacon, and anyone that has more saus than bacon - No. Red Flag. I think eggs, toms, beans needs to be measured against the carbs. Two eggs, fine, but you gotta have enough Hashy B there. Extra beans? Extra bread. That's gotta be the rules.

You may want to mix, but it should be your choice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 11 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11 (edited) 3 bacon, 1 or 2 sausages, 1 or 2 eggs, 1 sliced fried tomato (not tinned), beans (on the plate), 1 large field mushroom (or a handful of sliced closed cup mushrooms), 1 or 2 black pudding, 2 fried bread. Hash browns acceptable, but not canonical. Salt. White pepper. 2 toast (white), butter, marmalade. Orange juice. Tea or coffee (depending on mood), milk, no sugar. All ingredients must be of top quality. Edited April 11 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 2 of everything. Aside from toast, then its 1 toast and 1 fried bread. Any separating of beans makes us no better than chimpanzees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
