Asda had the police in this morning. Someone had got in, stabbed the rice crispie boxes, put poison in the cornflakes and tied rope around the weetabix. Obviously a cereal killer! Dave you started it!  |

In fact I'll even eat scrambled eggs in an emergency  On toast with a lot of black pepper and HP sauce is absolutely fine. Scrambled eggs however, have no place in the purists Full english though  With you there JM. On both counts. |

 Here is a decent effort, could perhaps do with an extra egg and sausage but this is clearly someone who knows their fry up  Note the mushroom and sausage protecting the more delicate items on the plate from too much bean juice seepage......and the use of HP sauce to spice up the beans themselves. Its got to be an 8/10 i reckon |

I certainly wouldn't turn that down on a Sunday morning JM. But I can't give it any more than 6.5 unfortunately.
Though I like hash browns, they're a foreign import. I love the breakfasts on offer America - steak and eggs, delicious pancakes, grits...my God grits...absolutely beautiful food, drinkable coffee...but I wouldn't have any of that with my fry-up and mug of tea.

Yeah given the choice i'd substitute the H.B's for bubble and squeak or little fried up potatoes.....
Agree that B'Fasts in America are the next best thing to an English, why the hell don't Macdonalds try a bit harder than the absolute muck they try and pass off as a breakfast?

Sloppy presentation in my book - nothing should be on top of the other!! Nearly right - but what about fried egg on top of fried bread? Fried bread - might as well eat lard!! |

Its got to be an 8/10 i reckon I could just eat that now - where is the cafe? |

What the effing hell are grits? Grits are basically a porridge made from maize (sweetcorn). That may not sound the greatest, but my meal of buttery, garlicky, spicy grits served with bacon, eggs and biscuit (not to be confused with the quite different English biscuit) in a greasy spoon in New Orleans ranks up there with the nicest meals I have ever eaten. |

Nothing wrong with black pudding, but with sausage AND bacon it always seems a bit like pork overload to me with a fry up.
Incidentally, northerners might be proud of their black puddings, but did you know that black pudding is also a French delicacy - only they call it 'boudin noir'. I think the Germans call theirs blodwurst. I don't think they have theirs with a fry-up however.
