English Breakfast!

[justnotcricket]

For a second I thought you meant the Twinings 'English Breakfast' tea ^_^ Which gets two thumbs up, in any case.

Someone who understands! All I hear is Earl Grey this, PG Tips that.

But English Breakfast is a subtle tea, a refined tea! Tea for the modern gentleman.

I think you can thank our friend Picard for that ;-) If he'd been mad keen on English Breakfast, it would be more popular than Earl Grey now =D

Mind you, I am rather partial to the Lady Grey tea Twinings make...but English breakfast is the tea I learned to drink tea on, the tea of my youth, and the perfect tea to brighten up any rainy morning...

Exactly!

Although my favourite is my blend of Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong, and English Breakfast, all in one pot.

Try it, it's divine.

OOoo!! Mixed tea recipe! Will definitely try that one ^_^ What are the proportions - or is it a secret? ;-)

At the moment I'm liking a tea I get loose from a local teashop called 'Monk Tea'. It's a bit like the 'nepal marsala' type teas you can get but it has the most wonderful perfume. It (and the name) almost make you want to drink it with yak butter, atop a mountain, ascetically ;-)

To not completely ignore the original topic while eulogising about tea: I had never had HP sauce until I went to London and it was placed on the table along with the cooked breakfast. Now I cannot live without it. It's like Vegemite, but in sauce form!! Also good: cheese, tomato and HP sauce sandwiches, or the same as a topping for toast...

I enjoy a good Canadian breakfast - back bacon, eggs, toast, and hashbrowns.

So an English breakfast then.

Bloody colonials, thinking that replacing a word or two makes it their own.

*sips tea*

Yes, quite.

Yup, like an English breakfast. But less greasy, less messy, more edible.

Bloody imperials, toss random items available to family in the northern hemisphere and thinking the result is a national symbol.

*Sips orange juice*

Eh?

Still have our queen on your money though, don't you

 

[putowtin]

Umm, okay...discussion value?

Does there need to be?! Just struting around with a top-hat, monocle, cup of tea held with pinky outstretched and saying what-ho! not good enough for you?!?! =P

that is the only way to strut!

O.P But I agree with many other posters, that fry up is missing black pudding!

I currently go one teabag of each, 2 tea cosies, let it brew for a while...

Vegetarian and proud!

YUMMY YUMMY. Eat up everyone!

I've actually had Quorn, and it tastes pretty damn good.

The texture and appearance aren't really that great though.

We still have our queen, of course. She's the queen. But we have our own money, land, and titles. Essentially, you knighted us. I am insufferably pleased by that thought.

Arise, Sir Canada.

Arise and do that maple syrup thing that you do.

 

[Delsana]

Sigh...

The best breakfast I've ever had or made for others is as follows:

4 strips of bacon
4 links of sausage
4 eggs and a quarter cup of milk turned into flaky and bright scrambled eggs.
1 strawberry sensation smoothie.
3 slices of white buttered toast.
1 large glass of OceanSpray cran-grape juice

Afterwards, I would suggest since this is a morning breakfast going outside, taking out a nice creamy and mild or mild-medium cigar, and enjoying a 45 - hour cigar with a friend preferably (who also eats this) while having some nice Dessert Wine (a Moscato D'Asti would be best).

A nice crepe would be good to go along with the cigar.

---

As bad as mine may sound to some, it is actually quite healthy in its various ways and is also quite good for you in its various ways. It's also quite delicious in its various ways (even the cigar if not inhaled as one does not do when enjoying a cigar).

What the OP listed made me want to gag.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I could do without the beans, mushrooms and tomatoes, personally. I don't really like those, but they're not so bad that I wouldn't eat them.

I don't usually eat breakfast, actually. I usually sleep to late. It's either that I sleep through breakfast or I don't have time in the morning before school. When I find that I've slept past breakfast time and I'm hungry, I just get out a bowl and pour myself some kind of sugary cereal. With milk, of course.

Edit: What is this Black Pudding that people keep speaking of? I've never heard of it before, and I'm curious.

 

[chowderface]

I normally sleep through breakfast and skip straight to lunch (also I'm an American, where "breakfast" usually means "something crazy sweet so the sugar kicks you into warp but ultimately unsatisfying") but fuck if that doesn't look so damn delicious. I might wake up in time for breakfast more often if I knew something like that was waiting for me.

Nah, the Canadian breakfast is different, he just didn't list it.

Canadian Breakfast: fried eggs, back bacon, sausage, pancakes, and maple syrup poured over everything.

 

[Hoplon]

Can't beat a nice big ulster fry

Agreed

Ulster fry > English Breakfast

The english don't have tatie bread!

Who do you think we stole it from in the first place?

I will admit I do love a potato farl though with a big fry up.

 

[Philol]

My hangover cure generally consists of 12 hours, preferably more, of sleep, but as a breakfast a fry up is unbeatable.

 

[Coldster]

Yuck. That looks absolutely putrid. I guess I'll have to try it someday though, since judging a book by its cover is not something I do. I'll stick with my orange juice, cheerios, and a fruit thank you very much.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

I prefer a Scottish fry-up to be honest. Black pudding, square sausage and potato scones are a must!

Haggis? You definitely forgot the Haggis. A nice portion of spicy haggis for breakfast is awesome. Aside from that, I agree.

I went to a family wedding in Scotland a few weeks ago and had a Scottish fry-up every morning in the hotel. I will say that square sausage is a little weird, it's not my favourite but tastes good enough lol.

 

[Nouw]

Funny that. I had bacon, egg, baked beans and sausage with bread this morning. The joys of living in New Zealand. And I'm Korean!

 

[game-lover]

Eh... the beans kinda turn me away. I just don't see that as breakfasty. Then again, I'm not English.

Plus I like something sweet in my meals. A mix of sweet and savory.

Maple cured bacon for you then!

 

[Lilani]

I've always been quite fond of a sausage biscuit, tater tots, and an apple but maybe that's just because they're the only edible foods I can get from the school dining halls on a semi-regular basis...
