 The best laid out "Full English" for me has a baked bean "Afro" atop a couple of fat mushrooms for eyes, a nice fat vertical sausage as a nose, rasher of bacon for the mouth and a nice face outline carefully drawn from the brown sauce dispenser with two tomato halves for rosy cheeks. Stick a couple of fried eggs where you'd hope the waitress is a little bit better endowed and a triangle of fried bread for the skirt with black pudding legs sticking out the bottom.................Bob's your uncle!  I'll put me pinney back on!

I think Phil we will have a problem with our TFF train ride and breakfast day out, we will have to make sure the train has a first class carriage for our snobs, maybe you and I will end up riding with the driver  I mentioned recently that I was reading Inverting the Pyramid, a history of football tactics by Jonathan Wilson. I enjoyed the book immensely and towards the end the author makes the perfectly valid point that we should really stop looking at formations in terms of three lines (eg 4-4-2; 3-5-2; 4-5-1 or whatever). Instead we’ve got to extend the mind and see four dimensions: 4-3-1-2; 4-1-4-1; 4-3-2-1; etc, etc. I’m doing my best to adapt but – when it comes to the breakfast plate – I struggle to get my head around the more complex formations. I can’t remember the starting line-up at the Signal Box in Totnes last week but, during the final minutes, I threw caution to the wind by happily mixing my egg with the baked bean sauce. As this didn’t involve too much tactical re-arrangement I fear there could be those amongst us who might be disappointed by the Signal Box's initial formation. I might be wrong because I wasn't really paying attention as I’m afraid I belong - together with Dave - to the flexible “it’s all food on the plate” Total Breakfast approach. I'm sure Johann Cryuff would agree that the sausage sometimes needs to take on defensive duties as the mushrooms push forward. |

Don't have a huge problem with the formation of food on the breakfast plate. So long as the beans have been stewed for long enough they tend to keep themselves to themselves. Chewy beans, now there’s a real outrage. As are foreign elements to a fry up such as hash browns, chips or – horror or horrors, "vegeburgers".

Next time I cook a Chelston Train Drivers All Day Breakfast at home I will take a sneaky pic and post up - perhaps a 'Breakfast thread' should be started.
I tend to have the 'healthy option' of toast rather than the traditional heart attacking bringer, which is Fried Bread.

I once ordered Spaghetti Bolognaise in Wevelgem in Belgium and was aghast to have it served to me with the spaghetti ON TOP of the bolognaise ~ I mean, these ruddy foreigners!

A Dutchman's English Breakfastbelow is a picture of Rolf's the Dutchman English breakfast, note he did not want any beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and did not ask it to be put on the plate in any set order. ;D

Andy, I think with any team, you have your key players. For me these are (and in no particular order): Billy 'Unsmoked Back' Bacon Eddie 'Free Range' Egg Billy 'Good Quality' Beans * Sammy Sausage Marty Mushroom * A good quality bean is ESSENTIAL to the overall performance. |

I would have Hasher on the left with Stuart 'Saute' Potatoes * on the right. * We are talking proper saute spuds here - boiled in their skins until almost firm and then shallow fried. Has anyone got any football related talk before the Gruffalo wakes up? |

Look Phil, I know Billy well but I think he is a bit sloppy at the moment with some of his distribution over the plate, and I do think Marty should be a regular.
There has to be a place for Brian Bubble and his best friend Simon Squeak, and I'm thinking about bringing in Herbert Hog's Pudding for a rare start as well.
Billy needs a couple of weeks in the cupboard to get back to match freshness and I know the rest of the toast on the side plate agrees with me.
Sort it out Buckle!

Sorry Andy, but I refuse to have anything with the word 'pudding' on my breakfast plate - not natural I'm afraid. You'll be bringing on Timmy Tripe next! * Some might say that is what this thread is turning into! |
