The thing most visitors don't get about a fry up is that you've got to mix things up on the fork. Don't just eat the beans, use them as a topping on a chunk of sausage and egg, mixing and matching is where you enter breakfast heaven!

[@tilerman]

Back in the early 1990's in Central London (somewhere, cant remember!) there was a small cafe chain that done 1 set breakfast with tea or coffee. You could not change the breakfast or choose what you want. The queue was out the door and the cafe was mainly for builders/contractors. You sat down and the food appeared instantly, literally. And the second you finished, you were asked to leave, that was the deal and every one knew it and no one minded. In, eat, out. Great breakfast and cheap.

Yoo ur EXACTLY right

[@georgea6364]

Facts

[@goblinbarrel25yearsago55]

But our bacon in England is different to American bacon because our is similar to gammon but American bacon. Is usually more crispy and streaky

[@Wotdermatter]

Before beginning, I must ask, have you even been to the States? I have many times because I lived in Windsor, opposite Detroit, and St. Catharines which is close to Niagara, new York, and have travelled extensively throughout the U.S.A. In the U.S.A. they have a bacon similar to streaky bacon, and we have the same in Canada. English bacon, as you say, is not similar to gammon, which is closer to ham in style and curing but comes from a different part of the animal. A common bacon in England, other than streaky, is back bacon. People in the U.S.A. prefer their "streaky" - they do not call it that - bacon crispy. . They also have what they call Canadian bacon, which is Pork Loin that is salted, cured, and smoked and covered in peameal. In Canada, it is simply known as back bacon/Canadian bacon and can be known as peameal bacon 'nuf sed. plamuk aka travellingchef

[@Wotdermatter]

Sorry, but salami is not made from blood as you state but from beef, pig meat, can be venison, chicken or other meats. Always check before putting fingers to keyboard or foot in mouth. The meat is stuffed into a casing and allowed to dry while hanging. To prevent the cintents from becoming mouldy, the casing is usually punctured during the drying to allow any trapped pockets of air to escaape and for the meat to reduce in size which leads to a concentration of the flavouring from the added spices and or herbs.

The 'ham' was just bacon rashers which is the most popular bacon in the uk. American bacon is called streaky bacon.

[@ImplyDods]

Amaricans butcher pigs differently, it isn't streaky bacon it is cut in a different direction.

100% recommend to go to a Wetherspoons or Morrisons when you're next here for an English Breakfast, they do huge portions for like £5/6

[@vilstef6988]

Bobby calls it ham because it's what American ham looks like. I will keep in mind this is 'bacon' if I ever go to England.

Ollied Two of the worst places for food. Embarrassing

Morrisons breakfasts aren't very good from what I have tried at least, but I would assume they're all the same.

[@Ollied]

@@nick260682 I for one like a Morrisons breakfast, great value and good for what you pay. If you want great quality food go to Bills and pay £12 for half the portions which for me is embarrassing

[@nick260682]

Ollied It’s clearly not the whole point. It’s half the point at best. English food can be amazing, but it’s people like you that ruin it by recommending shithole places like Wetherspoons, and valuing big portions over quality.

[@mrbrown2186]

To be technically correct ,England uses the exact same cut as America, but England/UK/Britain/Ireland etc also have other cuts too. We have streaky. (the 'american' belly cut) back bacon (the 'chop' cut in the video he called ham) we also have middle bacon which is both of those cuts still joined together, and even rarer (and better) than all these is Collar bacon, a Big cut from the neck which has a deep flavour.

[@zupermaus9276]

British food is an assortment of your ground materials which you mix n match on your fork for different affect = flavour combinations in layers. You rarely eat each ingredient one at a time or standalone. Thus slice of sausage + dab of mustard, plus baked beans and a corner of toast = meaty, savoury, edge of pungent, then sweet then starchy.

[@k.jamescarters9557]

Go to a working class area (ideally Irish) and get the full works with white pudding, bubble and squeak and whatever else they can find. You have to eat it as brunch (although don’t say that out loud!) as it’s so big you can’t eat lunch

[@andrewcullen8635]

The Third meal, Same problem yet again only one of every thing although looked better quality. Trotters are Pigs Feet which suggests they have been added to the Baked beans? However some places actually add diced Belly Pork and some will have BBQ them first or Smoked them. One thing that is the same in that very few places offer anything other than fried egg(s)
