We have pancakes for a evening desert. British pancakes are what you would crepes. We don't eat sweet things at the same time as having a full English. What we do is to have tea/ coffee and biscuits a little while after breakfast. When it comes to potatoes try bubble and squeak. It's a sort of hash made with leftover vegetables from a roast. Personally I don't like tomatoes.

[@yvonnephillips9710]

I love your videos, UK bacon is usually back bacon either smoked or non smoked and US is streaky bacon which is rather fatty. We do use streaky bacon but usually to put on chicken or for pigs in blankets.

[@stevenmaguire6854]

Beans should be on the plate with fried bread and brown sauce

[@1ninjatiger]

Loved watching you guys..Laura daintily eating her breakfast and John inhaling his 😉😂 beans should be on the plate with everything else not on the side…toast (buttered) should be on the side. 😘

[@faithpearlgenied-a5517]

For me personally the perfect fry up is sausages, bacon, 2 runny fried eggs, fried bread, mushrooms, Branston beans and tinned plum tomatoes with a slice of bread and butter, fruity brown sauce and a cup of tea. Not that into hash browns/black pudding.

[@raisethevibes719]

Can't beat the tinned plum tomatoes 😋

[@lauren906]

Laura is right the beans,egg&toast is a perfect mouthful!😋 chopped tomatoes is also a common trade for the grilled, I definitely leave the best till last in every meal!

[@lynnemacfadzean4855]

[@eddiebirdie1545]

Hiya L&J, when you first started eating i think Jon was having a Homer Simpson moment "can't talk eating" lol 😂.

[@jennetscarborough5145]

As per John's comment about liking something sweet to complement the fry-up, If staying at a hotel that provides breakfast buffet, I like to get a bowl of fresh fruit salad topped with a spoonful of natural yoghurt and have that as a follow up to the fry-up. It's nice to finish the greasy meal with something that feels nice and fresh and slightly sweet. We actually typically have two (or even three) types of bacon available in the UK. You can buy "back bacon" which has a large section of meat from the loin, and a small section of the belly, and "streaky bacon" which is made from the belly just like your "American bacon", though cures may vary. It's less common, but sometimes you can also find "middle bacon" which is simply both kinds still attached. You can always make your own back bacon by buying pork loin steaks/chops (remove any bones prior to curing) and curing with salt, brown sugar and herbs/spices and slicing after curing. Hash browns go great with beans and egg.

[@felonmarmer]

If you want something traditionally British for a breakfast potato item, try bubble and squeak. Plenty of recipes online.

[@IDTV66]

Was this breakfast cold by the time you finished your introduction?

[@wenglishsal]

Hello both, I'm glad you enjoyed your 'fry-up'.. I like to put my beans on the toast and then put the Fried Egg on the top.. YUMMY, its like the best bite, lovely runny yoke, mixed with the beans and the crunch of fresh toast.. I'm not too keen of tomatoes, in any shape or form, but I do like my Baked Beans .. Gotta love a good Cumberland Sausage, too and the Bacon and Mushrooms.. A lot of folks 'over the pond' here like Black Pudding, not my fav personally but each to their own.. Best wishes to you both, from Wales.. :D

[@littleannie390]

Hash browns are now quite common in UK breakfast but it is an import from the US. When I first visited the US in the early 80s it was the first time I had eaten hash browns. We call American bacon streaky bacon and what you call English/Canadian is back bacon. We have both in the UK.

[@DrDaveW]

In the UK, your bacon has the great name of “streaky bacon”, because of the stripy streaky appearance. It’s sold everywhere that sells bacon, and in similar quantities. We ten to use it for other things where it’s more an ingredient in a whole dish like the Italians would use Pancetta, or the French Lardons. Some people prefer it for breakfast, but it’s not an American influence. Just a matter of taste.

[@ellisdimond8037]

I would usually dip my toast or fried bread in the egg yolk and bean sauce

[@shestewa6581]

Really loved how much you enjoyed this. You should maybe try a full Scottish at some point. It’s very similar but includes: black pudding slices, (optional) white pudding slices, haggis slices and what is called a “potato scone”. A potato scone is a fried flatbread made like half and half from flour and potato. It’s utterly delicious and can be easily made in bulk at home and frozen. You can easily even use the leftovers by keeping them in the freezer and just throwing them in the toaster in the morning or lazily on a frying pan for a couple of minutes. Tattie scones are one of the country’s favourite breakfast items and one of the - if not the - favourite hangover foods. They’re cheap, easy, tasty and filling. Also in terms of fish! I’m kind of amazed! It just occurred to me that I grew up in a seaside city in Scotland and fish was basically ubiquitous growing up. I turned vegetarian quite young but I got to try everything and it was always available. It hadn’t occurred to me that for people like yourselves that saltwater fish would be unavailable to the point of being unusual. I wouldn’t even think twice about going to my local fishmongers and getting some sole, plaice, haddock etc. Even monkfish is readily available. If you come to Scotland you’ll find that fish is quite important to our local cuisine.

[@keza92]

That looked great, yum! i haven't had a full English breakfast for a while now but when i do i usually have all that but also include 2 hash browns and also got to have HP sauce with it & yes i mix it all together, i usually put the eggs on top of the toast, i never have black pudding though never even tried it! and for drink its definitely tea and /or orange juice. its something i have occasionally if im going to be busy or going somewhere as it keeps you going lol.

[@what_im_eatin_uk]

The potatoes are usually added if the breakfast is being eaten for brunch. So after about 11am. The potatoes can be diced and fried, sliced and fried or even chips (fries).

[@billygoatee4905]

Hi L&J, I have a fry up most weekends in the local cafe, as most cafes do a build your own breakfast on the menu I have 2 fried eggs, 2 crispy bacon, sausage, beans and toast most of the time but depends how hungry I am, after breakfast I rarely need to eat again til evening. It’s a great start to the day! I don’t like black pudding, it tastes ok but the texture can be a bit gritty, there is a white pudding that is much better, but it’s harder to come by! If you come to the UK almost every cafe will have a fry up on the menu, there is also ‘all day breakfast’ options so you can have your fry up any time of day!

[@bigmatt2896]

the perfect english breakfast for me is..... 2 x smoked bacon 2 x lincolnshire sausages 2 x fried eggs with black pepper (runny) 2 x slices of fried bread 2 x hash browns extra crispy heinz beans tinned plum tomatoes HP brown sauce and heinz tomato ketchup after i like to eat a peach yoghurt for that sweet taste glass of fresh orange juice and a strong black coffee

Also is the bacon smoked bacon? I personally don't bother with bacon unless its smoked. Just nicer tasting

Never separate the beans also tin tomatoes are the norm and you must have black pudding and a mug of tea all good otherwise

[@stvbee7479]

Hi John and Laura, I really commend you for giving it a go and making it yourself. The joy of a good "fry-up" is mixing it all up on the plate. Each mouthful can be a different taste sensation. It takes a lot of practise, particularly the timings, to get it just the way you like it. So don't take this as a negative comment but here are a few pointers for your next try. Grilling some of the items instead of frying can mean using a little less oil and freeing up cooking space.Beans should not be on the side. It is important they get to mix on the plate with all the other items. Add them to a small pan over a low to medium heat. Most importantly add a little water to the can and swirl out all the bean juice. Heat them until the extra liquid cooks off, this means you cook them a bit longer allowing the beans to become softer and slightly mushy. Tomatoes should be halved sprinkled with salt and put under the grill 10-15 minutes before putting the bacon in. The salt helps draw out excess water from the tomatoes and also enhances the flavour. Tinned tomatoes can be used if preferred. Just heat them gently in another pan, putting them on around the same time as the beans. Bacon, generally we would use back bacon (English) but streaky (American) is widely used as well. The bacon should be browned on both sides. Keep in a little longer if you want it crispy or take out sooner if you like the bacon fat soft and squidgy. Good quality pork sausages, preferably from a butcher, should be gently fried in a frying pan with very little oil as a lot of the fat will come out of the sausages. If having black pudding add it to the pan about half way through cooking the sausages. Turn once to make slightly crisp on both sides. Once the sausage and black pudding are ready, remove from the pan and place on a bit of paper towel to absorb excess oil. Now add sliced mushrooms to the frying pan and turn the heat up to mid to high, add a good knob of butter and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slicing them means they cook quickly and adding the butter, salt and pepper really enhance the flavour. Remove the mushrooms and put a couple of slices of bread into the frying pan to soak up the grease and oil and brown on both sides. Remove the fried bread and add a good amount of oil into the frying pan, turn heat down to low and gently fry a couple of eggs. While the eggs are cooking arrange the breakfast on the plate, keeping the fried bread clear so the egg can be placed on top. Scrambled or poached eggs can also be used if preferred or just to change it up a bit. Bubble n squeak (potatoes dish) or hash browns can be added if you like, they are often found on a full fry-up. Best served with a couple of slices of well buttered toast on the side and a large mug of TEA. Enjoy!!!! Of course, you could always make it a full Scottish and add tattie scone, slice sausage and fried dumpling. If you feel inclined you can even add sliced haggis.

[@cyberash3000]

onn my perfect full english is: sausage bacon fried tomatoes baked beans canned tomatoes Black pudding toast mushrooms fried bread hash browns cup of tea Fried eggs

[@KanmuriXV30]

Full English in my Area of England (Stoke-on-Trent, Midlands) Bacon, sausage, hash browns, eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, black pudding, fried bread, toast and Staffordshire Oatcakes. With a pot of tea, fresh orange and coffee. If you ask for the works this is typically what you'd receive. I personally don't have beans or tomatoes but have extra mushrooms and/or egg.

[@alexwright9253]

In England we have real bacon 🥓😁

[@Stephen-Fox]

I usually go for scrambled eggs when I'm just having eggs, but fried is the simplest to use for an English breakfast so when I'm making them I go for that. The minor things I'd have done differently - Black pudding aside - is full size tomatoes rather than cherry tomatoes, thinner bread for the fried bread (Although you mentioned later that it was toast, so - fried bread rather than toast if that's actually what you did), beans on the same plate as the rest of the breakfast, and cooked all the dry ingredients in the same pan rather than seperately. All of those are preference rather than anything else, though. Hashbrowns aren't too uncommon on a full English, either, but I don't personally go for them when making my own (Though if I'm ordering a breakfast and they're on the list of things, I don't ask to not have them either). Weirdest one I've seen is Yorkshire pudding as part of an English breakfast, which no-one at the place I was eating had a clue why they were there. You mentioned waffle - I remember having a breakfast served on a very large potato waffle once, I forget the details of that breakfast aside the way the ingredients fell into the holes so you just slowly worked your way through the waffle and got the non-waffle stuff as you went.

[@jimreid4367]

A Full Scottish & A Full English Fry ups are very different , As a Scotsman i remember my first trip to England in Blackpool and i went to a cafe for breakfast and asked for a Full English . a short time later the waitress brought out my order and to my shock & awe on the plate was egg , bacon , sausage , beans , mushrooms , tomatoes and a slice of toast . I said to the waitress that i ordered a Full English and she replied that is what i got . I was really disappointed as i had a huge appetite . A Full Scottish that i was used to was egg , sausage (2 types) , bacon , black pudding , fruit pudding , haggis , potato scone , hash browns , mushrooms , tomatoes , beans and toast . The English version only had 7 items the Scottish version has 13 items so you can see were i was disappointed lol . Some would say 13 items on a plate is too much , to consume the lot in one sitting would be too much . But we Scots are great at not wasting food and any leftovers on our plate were put into sandwaches and wrapped up for lunch . Next time try the black pudding what's the worst that can happen ? Don't think about what's in it and just eat you'll be surprised .🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS your beans should be on the plate not in a bowl .

[@DaveS25]

Thank you for another video 😊

[@andrewfitzgerald2327]

A full English breakfast in a hotel would include cereal, fruit juice and then the full breakfast including tea or coffee. Bacon comes in many styles what you call bacon we call streaky bacon used mainly for covering turkey or chicken breast to maintain moisture. We get American style bacon this is cut very thin and goes crispy very quickly. Ideal for blt, when we're at home l always include some potatoe dish bubble and squeek but l'm married to an American along with the mother in law. We have breakfast Sunday, no time the rest of the week. What l don't see in the USA is a choice of bacon, we have smoked normally Oak, dry cure no added salt or water and maple cure to name a few. We change depending on the mood, baked beans, sausage once again choices pork, beef, tomato or beef and tomato once again to name a few. Eggs free range fried or poached depending on mood, would sometimes put beans on the toast and the egg on top. Tomatoes either fresh or tinned, (canned) personally l don't enjoy mushrooms but do them for others. Toast with jam or marmalade l have cranberry juice. If l make an omelette l have cut bacon in to cubes and slice sausage in to a pan and cook them before adding the omelette mix, pour baked beans on one side and flip. Breakfast has many choices do hope that one day you get at least one here.

[@TonyG-gk7qr]

I have fried egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding baked beans and fried bread. I always add the beans on top of my fried bread it’s so awesome

[@nadeansimmons226]

The beans go on the plate with the rest of the food. Some very pretentious places trying to present the breakfast differently put them in little ramekins but i always tip them straight onto the plate. For one thing thy get much colder faster if they are not on the plate.

Hash browns is also included but it's optional but yeah and brown sauce (HP) or ketchup we have as well with a fry up

[@claire4167]

I’m a little behind on videos due to a holiday :) I would generally eat a little of each together. I usually have a dribble of HP sauce on my egg yolk and butter on my toast. I’m still watching but what type of sausage did you buy? Traditionally it would be plain pork sausage on a breakfast with other flavoured sausage inc Cumberland sausage for evening meals (like sausage and mash or toad in the hole). We never used to have potatoes on breakfast until a few years back hash browns were introduced (a USA thing) ..our hash browns are triangle pieces of hash browns don’t thing it’s the same as yours. I prefer smoked bacon on breakfast up but unsmoked is fine too. If you have a brunch breakfast option it would come with chips (fries). Some places serve fried bread as well as toast, some serve instead of toast (not a fan of fried bread it’s too greasy for me). I like a thin slice of fried black pudding but it’s not for everyone, mushrooms are always a plus but I like them fried .. some places boil them (which is vile lol).

Being from Devon, I prefer White (Hogs) Pudding than Black which is good. Prefer tinned tomatoes to fresh at breakfast. Also like to wet the bread before frying. Good Sausages and bacon a must. Potato rounds as a special extra, you need some Liquid from beans/tomatoes and a soft egg for the best.

[@chriscambridge5737]

You have essentially all the correct components of an English breakfast, for sure some people add potatoes waffles or hash browns, but many don't. The Scottish try and inset Black pudding but most people in England would complete disagree with this. Indeed that is one component that differentiates and English from a Scottish breakfast.

[@joshualiley]

My ideal full English: Sausages (at least 2) Bacon (at least 2, definitely British style) Heinz beans Hash browns (at least 2, British style) Black pudding Toast (2 slices exactly, on occasions swap out for fried bread or even rarer, plain buttered bread) Fried egg (2, swap out for scrambled egg sometimes) Grilled tomato (1 decent sized one, will often swap out for tinned tomatoes) Not into mushrooms. Don't think it needs a sauce either because you've got bean juice and the egg yolk to give you moisture (and sometimes the tinned tomatoes), I don't think you need any extra flavours. But if I had to pick a sauce, brown sauce first choice then tomato ketchup second

[@raisethevibes719]

I had one today 😋 sausage, bacon, mini omelette, hash browns, fried mushrooms, tinned plum tomatoes, baked beans and toast 😆

[@angelavara4097]

You can grow your own mushrooms if you have a warm space. Bit of marmite on that toast before you spread the yolk is nice.

[@iainsan]

A Scottish breakfast is similar, but will usually include potato scones (tattie scones) and squares of fried sausage meat rather than sausages.

I don't think you would find one English person who has never had a Full English breakfast - its part of growing up in the UK- often on a weekend or part of a hangover cure!! There are vegetarian and vegan versions common now as well.

[@leedshunk]

Great vid as usual ! You've probably realized that the full English is interpreted in many ways. In Yorkshire it would contain bacon sausage eggs then possibly black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns or fried potatoes, fried bread or toast and beans . I hear you regarding black pudding, but many countries in Europe have their own black puddings its not just the UK. Personally I LOVE black pudding and it was listed as a superfood several years ago 😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@KirkhamWesham]

Have you buttered your toast? The baked beans go over the top of everything. I love white pepper with mine.

[@peterw4867]

Try Eggs Benedict, Florentine or Royale. Benedict is English Muffin with Wiltshire Ham and poached egg with hollandaise sauce. Florentine is the same but added wilted spinach and Royale is with smoked salmon instead of ham and spinach. For a full English everything on one plate with fried bread (and toast if you like) cooked in the same pan as the bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs. Squidge all you can on a fork and get stuck in.

[@loveandjunkfood]

Eggs benedict is in fact one of my all time favorites! I don't love breakfast but when we do have it-that is my go to! Soooooo good!-L

[@eviltwin2322]

In terms of seasoning, in most British cuisine the seasoning is added by you at the table to suit your taste, rather than by the cook during the preparation. Some Americans who do videos like yours say they find our food under seasoned, and I think it's because they are unaware of that fact and so haven't added their own.

Oh I find it a bit unusual that you had the beans on the side, I guess that was because you didn't have much room left on the plate? I'd just pour a portion on over the other things if it was a smaller plate. I was also sitting there at the start going quick, quick eat it before it's cold! hehe I rarely have full english / fry-up breakfast but if I did I wouldn't have the mushrooms as I don't like them and I wouldn't have black pudding either, just don't like the thought of it. For seasoning, I'd just put a little bit of black pepper on the egg, that's probably it as it already contains a lot of salt with the bacon and sausages.

There are so many variations of breakfast in the UK - Scottish breakfast has square/lorne sausage and potato scones - I would normally make square sausage bacon eggs (fried) potato scone branston beans sometime hash browns too with HP sauce toast and good cuppa to wash it all down yum yum lol

Hello Guys, don't worry bout the blood think of it as an iron and vitamin boost HA Ha if you ever get the chance to try Scottish White Pudding I've been told it does not contain blood. Now, this is all personal opinion so...only flip a fried egg if it's going in a sandwich or in a bun with a burger or you end up wearing it, on a plate, wet yolk, gives you a chance to mix it up, especially with bean juice and you get the fun of mopping up with your bread/toast 'our' back bacon comes from higher up the pig and as you can see has less fat, as far as I know, most Brits (wait for response) don't have their bacon crispy. we also have streaky bacon from the belly but since the war commercial pigs have been bred leaner so less fat my way of cooking mushrooms take small closed cup or button mushrooms gently saute them in a small pan in a little butter and oil when ready give them a small glue of Soy sauce stir and put aside to concentrate on other items stir occasionally while still cooking when you serve them you will have a dressing that accentuates the Umami within the mushies 😇

It's funny, but I just can't get away with having beans for breakfast. It seems to have become more and more of a thing here in the UK over the last couple of decades. I don't remember as a kid [ I'm an old git of 60yrs now] beans being part of the classic British breakfast served in most hotels/bed & breakfasts etc, or even at home [if you wanted to be posh you could have the eggs scrambled!]. I think it may have started in what we call 'Greasy spoons' [ I believe you would call them 'truck stops']. The daft thing is I will eat beans with bacon/sausage & egg as an evening meal, and enjoy it. The other point I would make is that I believe Hash browns in the UK may be different to those in North America, when I used to visit my aunt in Canada if we went out for breakfast/brunch Hash browns were usually slices of fried potato, and not the frozen triangles served here. Can anyone confirm or correct that thought?🤔 Glad you enjoyed your breakfast anyway.😀

Curious. What type of sausage are they? Do they just say "British sausage". In the UK the 2 main sausages are "Cumberland", which is a sausage with black pepper and "Lincolnshire", which is sausage with herbs. Ofcourse you can get generic sausages to.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

I sometimes make it like beans on toast with an egg on top and bacon on the side

[@loveandjunkfood]

Now that sounds just perfect!

[@annab9129]

Personally i prefer scrambled or poached egg with my brekkie...there are dozens of variables for a full English breakfast depending on personal preference and often there are strong opinions on what should be included!!

[@CrypticHowl]

Have you tried our apple crumble with custard?? It's amazing!

[@beccasmama63]

if I am cooking, I make scrambled eggs because they are faster. LOL If I go to a restaurant I get sunny side up eggs so I can dip my toast (soldiers) LOL And most restaurants offer fried potatoes(precooked potatoes that are sliced and fried) instead of hashbrowns.

[@davebirch1976]

I once did a full English that involved no frying, there was such a difference in taste, it actually tasted nicer, I boiled the mushrooms, did toast instead of fried, and had poached eggs, the bacon sausage and black pudding were cooked on the George Foreman grill, the only thing that was done normal was the beans

[@gavingiant6900]

Your Yorkshire card is taken away.😉

[@neilgayleard3842]

Cooked in a air fryer.

[@annab9129]

Jon - often there are potato waffles with the full English breakfast but sorry, definitely no sweet waffles!!

[@charlotteharden9162]

I’d love to make you an English breakfast as I add loads of extras to make sure it’s perfect. For example, mushrooms cooked in loads of butter with salt and pepper.

[@andypandy6830]

Ooh yes, I'm on my way. Mushrooms are delicious cooked in butter. I hate when people cook mushrooms in oil and the mushrooms soak it up. Yuk.

[@davebirch1976]

The UK hash browns are slightly different to the American ones as they are frozen and formed into usually a triangular or oval shape

[@neilgayleard3842]

McDonald's style.

[@billnoble2806]

Grandpa loved tomatoes with breakfast

[@elizabethcochrane9015]

John makes this brekky looks so good. Laura you are to picky lol born and bred in Dundee Scotland so used to this breakfast. And sorry to say our bacon is far better lol But I live in Canada . Thanks for the video love you guys

[@loveandjunkfood]

I was so looking forward to this video and then woke up feeling horrible. Not my best video ever. I really just didn't want to eat, but it was our last day on vacation and the food wouldn't travel. I can be picky yes, but also breakfast isn't my favorite meal and then sick on top :( It was a bummer! Still glad we did it, but ready for a do over at some point! x
