English Breakfast!

As we all know, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day.

Some say this fact was fabricated by breakfast corporations to shift more cereal, but poppycock I say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

But one breakfast is considered higher than all others.

A veritable god amongst breakfasts.

The one breakfast...


To rule them all!

"But Daystar, you effigy of handsomeness, what makes this breakfast better than any other" I hear you cry.

That's a good question guttersnipe, allow me to explain.

Two words:

Hangover cure


Get me a bacon sandwich, but do it quietly.

Yes, our scientists spent three billion years concocting the exact combination of foods needed in order to combat the effects of the Morning After.

Sausages, eggs, baked beans, bacon, tomotos, hashbrowns, toast and fried mushrooms.

These are the defenders of British Breakfast, bestowed the honour by the Great British Food God to vanquish all the nasty after effects of alcohol.

All holiday destinations that the British frequent abroad, are home to a myriad of pubs and bars that function for the soul purpose of making sure our lads and lasses can still get a top quality hangover cure when they're away from Blighty.

How do you think we built an empire?

Not by eating poncy croissants or nasty German sausage, that's for damn sure.

For Science!

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

Oh okay, just talk about...breakfast in general, I guess. As for regular breakfast, breakfast, I just skip it as I generally can't be arsed with it, which stemmed from me not wanting to waste time and miss my bus during secondary school/sixth form then spilling over to weekends and I just became indifferent to the idea. However, I do enjoy a good English Breakfast every now and either have one homecooked on the odd sunday or having it once in a while at Whetherspoons. I suppose I'm kind of odd in that I don't like beans, mushroom or tomato, but other than that everything the English has to offer is delish. :)

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

As for the actual cooked breakfast, provided you remove any trace of baked beans, and use a decent quality sausage, I'm totally there.

Especially if there are hash browns.

OMG hash browns..if it were possible to subsist entirely on these morsels of ambrosia, I would do it...

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

Where's the black pudding? That's not a proper breakfast without a bit of fried blood clot.
You'd be surprised how hard it is to find an image that doesn't look terribly unappetising. That's the best one I could find.

Oh great, now I'm hungry again.

Also, where is the black pudding in that breakfast? And only one sausage, what heresy is this!? ... That bread doesn't look very fried to me!

Give me two pieces of toast buttered and I'm good. You European people are silly.

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.

OT: I approve of this topic. Nothing that can't be improved with a good bit of sausage and bacon.

Nothing.

Well done everyone now I'm hungry.

English food is normally terrible but nothing beats a good english breakfast, you can just ignore English food for the rest of the day.

Who let Al Murray get an account on The Escapist?

It is the god of all breakfasts, as long as it stays as a treat, not the norm. Other countries actually have brilliant all-week breakfasts that us Brits don't have. I'm a brit living in Berlin and (although it sounds like a bad sitcom from the 80's) I really like the fresh bread rolls with meat, cheese and all sorts on top. Its light enough to have everyday, but also very tasty, and varying in health depending on your mood.

On Sunday though...get me ma bacon
