American Reacts to British Breakfast!

[@0saintsfan0]

Black pudding absolutely is a pudding, "pudding" describing the way it is cooked; steamed or boiled.

[@JacknVictor]

It's actually even more literal than that. The word pudding actually comes from black pudding itself, as the French word for it is "boudin" and the word itself was used when it was introduced here, and because of the way we would pronounce french words more phonetically to how they are spelt than how they sound in French, (they pronounce it more like "boo-dan") this became anglicised over the centuries to "bu-din" in England, which then becomes "pudding" as time went on. This word was then given to the type of bowls that the black pudding would be steamed in if no skins were available to use as a casing (the type of bowls that steamed puddings are now typically made in) so black pudding was literally the actual reason why puddings and pudding bowls are called such, and also they are the very first pudding to have been made.

[@alexbishton527]

Can't say I know anyone who has a full English most weekends. Most people see this as an occasional treat.

[@WookieWarriorz]

Maybe for a full english but, My dad gets a 'fry' most days at work. But ulster fry has soda bread, pancake, potato bread and often no beans and definitely coated in brown sauce.

[@gillianrimmer7733]

We only ever have it as an evening meal and call it what it was always called until the tourist trade cashed in on it recently - a fry up. We always had just bacon, black pudding and eggs with bread and butter as a breakfast on Sunday when I was a girl in the 1950s.

[@makavelismith]

Black pudding is actually fantastic. Seriously, it's not at all gross textured or offensive tasting.

[@vincentvega9863]

Hmmm subjective. I find it can be quite gritty which I find unpleasant

For most people a full english (Irish/Welsh/Scottish) breakfast is more likely to be eaten as a brunch these days, unless your a lorry or delivery driver(they make their own rules) A fry up from any of the British countries is very filling and is commonly used as a hangover cure. Our bacon doesn't tend to have alot of fat released into the pan when cooked it is very different from American bacon.

[@keithsowerby8179]

You are right about one thing - the fried eggs have to be cooked last, and by the way laverbread is wonderful. The plate is one course; cereal or porridge is eaten before l, perhaps fruit conpôte or prunes and orange juice. Toast with jam/ spreads follow. Coffee and tea are both acceptable. Alternative breakfast would include kippers or poached smoked haddock. The most criminal aspect of Kate’s presentation was the exclusion of fried bread from the main plate

I recently moved to Yorkshire from Scotland and 1 genuine grievance is no potato scones. Anywhere! I like my full English, but tattie scones would definitely improve it.

[@KINGK20092009]

Those are usually in the squash drink or the jam. Some people like orange marmalade which is like a jam with pieces of the orange zest in it, squash is a concentrated juice that you dilute in water. The whole Idea of frying the mushrooms and tomatoes is to release and enhance their umami flavour and natural sweetness.

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

In Scotland we have a saying " as Scottish as a square sausage" this is a Lorne sausage and totaly fantastic. A Tattie scone or 2 as part of the breakfast are amazing. I love black pudding its very good for you with plenty of iron, it is a super food, i was very aneamic in my teans and allergic to iron tablets, so plenty of black puddng sorted that out. Only Smericans call black pudding blood pudding, it realy annoys me, im sure its done just to sound bad. Its like when they talk about Haggis which is yummy with neeps and tatties. The only reason the US does not have Haggis is because the way the US butchers animals is different from the UK's, guess which is cleaner. There is another reason we have a excilent breading and farming set up, which has been part of the Scottish culture for hundereds of years. You can get wild Haggis, farmed is cheaper of course but wild has a slight hint of heather in its flavour and its not so fatty. The Haggis season is very short, just 5 weeks long. Dont knock any of these wonderful foods untit you have tried them, they woll suprise you.

[@hardywatkins7737]

The main reason people outside Scotland don't have haggis is because nobody really likes it all that much. I'll take the Lorne sausage though. Black pudding technichally is a blood pudding so it's not wrong to call it that.

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

[@timmellor2599]

I can't say she sells it well, but go with the flow- it's breakfast! I agree with him that the eggs are better cooked in the bacon fat, but some purists will say that the cooking fat for the eggs be clean. Grilling is an alternative to frying most of the breakfast, except the eggs. And yes, many of us do drink orange juice (pure, if we can, not the stuff made from concentrate). The black pudding is essential for me, and white pudding if it's an option! And one thing to throw you as an American- yes, the beans may make you fart all day. But make light of it on occasions (there are some phrases we use regularly for that) and don't hold it in or you'll explode!

[@nicw5574]

I don't mean to be critical but, that's bacon we get over here, we have streaky bacon, but that was back bacon, it's more meaty. Black pudding is delicious. Personally I prefer tinned tomatoes instead of beans. Mushrooms from a tin are a bit slimy, but a whole field mushroom fried is lovely I haven't had a full English for ages Wishing you well 😀

[@mattaddley]

When I first discovered your Chanel I initially didn't take to the ambience. The YT algorithm pushed a few more times so I decided to watch. After that first watch..... I'm still watching.

I understand that your production is edited etc but it seems to work. Kudos Mucker. 👍

[@bobhale7302]

You are right that uncooked tomatoes are fine ON A SANDWICH or IN A SALAD. With ANY cooked food, including a full English, they MUST be cooked or they simply don’t work. As for mushrooms I really wouldn’t know. I am allergic to them.

[@jemsjemski533]

[@lenaoxton8827]

She did it in the wrong order. Ash browns in the oven, Sausages in pan, bacon later while the tinned tomatoes are warming in the pan, fry an egg and make a slice of toast while the kettles boiling. Bingo

[@nolajoy7759]

The way she cooks the hash browns could well become "ash browns" 😅

[@maddypower4032]

Oscar worthy acting dude!

[@Stannington]

She did it all wrong. Fried bread is the best, although some people swap it out for hash brown, but I have both. In fact nearly everything should be fried except maybe the beans and tomatoes (canned toms with juice), but I've seen people fry these too. Only people who think they're posh have sliced tomatoes and it does my tree in. Hardly anyone on KZbin uses canned tomatoes, I mean, what are they playing at? It's the sort of dirty trick they pull daaarn saaarf. For dressing it has to be brown sauce and a mug of hot steaming tea. Coffee just doesn't taste right with a fry-up.

[@colinbrown9549]

The UK tinned plum tomato's aren't available in the US as far as I can tell, I've never seen them 🤥

[@hardywatkins7737]

Stop pretending fresh tomatos are not the norm (tinned plum tomatos are fine though). Personally i dislike brown sauce and prefer tomato ketchup, although i agree about the coffee.

[@watfordjc]

If you're interested in the full English, you might also be interested in how the full English ended up including bacon. The story of the history of "Danish Bacon" also involves American and Russian wheat, German trade barriers, the Pork war that partly led to America shifting towards favouring free trade, and the reason "UK pigs" (those raised in Denmark destined for British tables) started being segregated. Not sure if there are any KZbin videos on the subject, but there are probably quite a few Danish Bacon TV ads since "Good bacon has DANISH written all over it". The default bacon emoji should be back bacon. Google says the French word for streaky bacon is "lard".

[@hardywatkins7737]

Ended up? I always assumed it started with bacon and eggs.
