Surely thats for a family of three, right britbongs?

>>17297397
real full english coming through

Real talk how can people fit all of that in their stomach? I'd probably eat the eggs, pudding, tomatos, mushroom and beans and be really full

>>17297397
i think their breakfast is based even if they are joyless cunts who secretly envy us

>>17297397
>they have the nerve to call us Americans gluttonous fatasses?
when did we do that, schizo?

>>17297397

>>17297397
That's a fucking stock image not the actual average breakfast.

>>17297448
ive put down 18'' pizzas down my gullet by myself. one time had a forearm sized burrito. im a normal sized person too.

>>17297448
According to the English, the entire plate is pudding, ceramic and all.

>>17297397
We don't eat that everyday. Also tradies/labour workers need the calories for work.

I had two slices of toast with butter and marmite

>>17297397
dont they only eat that shit like once a week?

>>17297448
I can easily see myself eating that whole plate, except for the mushrooms. I fucking hate mushrooms

>>17297574
>I hate <insert inert food item>
Hi kid

>>17297558
Lol. I was working at a JBS meat processing factory lifting thousands of 40kg+ carcasses in a week when I wasnt a boner, never ate as much as 2 eggs and 4 weetbixs for breakfast. Lunch was a burger. Dont kid urself, theres a reason why Tradies are fatties now, when theyre doing less work than the average factory worker whilst thinking theyre paying homage to their menial labouring ancestors by eat a full english thats akin to more than half a days worth of calories.
A full english made sense when lunchtime didnt exist and where you got most of your energy for the day from breakfast. And the labouring was an intense gig at a unionless coal mine or a lumber yard. Modern day labourers and tradies are pampered compared to those who required a full english to get by the day.

is brits the new nation to live rent free? its not something you eat everyday
>>17297448
pic related is not really a good representation of a standard full english as its made for instagram

>>17297582
Mushrooms taste like dirt.

>>17297700
"I don't like the colour red."
"I don't like the things that are circular."
This is how you sound

>>17297397
british beans are so unappetizing

like beans in the morning at 10 am??? and its all wet and sloppy too wtf gross

>>17297681
Britain has been since we ruled the world.

>>17297789
You really can't comprehend someone not liking a food? You're strange man

>>17297789
Who cares?

I worked in UK for like 2 years ...i swear to God these people have the most garbage food in all of EU. This "ënglish breakfast" is horrible ... the ham thing is hard like a shoe, everything has no taste, those beans are disgusting, just beans with tomato paste ... horrible ...some sausages are good though. Just wait till you try egg with beans, i almost vomited. And i like the Yorkshire puddings, the rest is just horrible...especially that "sunday roast" thing ... meat baked in the oven overnight until it's hard and more tasteless than tree bark

GOAT breakfasts, other countires literally cant compete (inb4 someone says a pile of cakes and bacon is breakfast)
especially after drinking the night before

>>17298180
Yeah British food is pretty bland for the most, Yorkshire puddings are a godsend. My mom still makes a Sunday roast and it’s good but everything really needs to be drowning in gravy

>>17297397
I skip breakfast but I could very easily eat all of that at breakfast. Actually British btw.

>>17297397
I'm American and a full English is fucking based. Generally when I have one I don't eat anything else until dinner. Unless I'm outside working on stuff.

>>17298180
>Almost threw up from eggs with beans
What a fucking wimp ass baby. Imagine having a stomach so fucking sensitive you can't eat eggs with beans. Don't fucking breed you weak bitch.

>>17298600
Yorkshire puddings are very bland.

>>17298180
Sunday roast is a tradition. Just because the person that cooked yours was a shit cook doesn't mean it ain't so. Back in ye olden days it was said that Britain was so wealthy that even the lowest of peasants could afford to eat beef once a week, hence the French nicknaming us roast beefs. It was a good time to get all the family together to eat a good hearty meal. These days most people can't cook for shit though so don't expect much. I could make a better sunday dinner than these fucks and I've never even tried before.

>>17297700
Tell me how I know you’re American

>>17298705
becaue his taste buds are fried from being an obese diabetic

>>17297397
I had this once on Malta in some restaurant. Fucking god tier, holy shit I want it again.

>>17297397
What are the black things, Oreos?

>>17297700
Dang, I got to try dirt now

>>17297448
Its really not that hard
Unlike fucking a britsh slag
Now THAT takes effort

>>17297448
He's a big lad.

>>17298601
Of course breakfast is haram

>>17297700
Your dad’s butt taste like dirt, don’t hear me complainin

>>17297397
I'm curious what that plate actually adds up to, guessing roughly.
eggs, 200kcal
black pudding, 200kcal
fried bread, 150kcal
bacon, 200kcal
rosti, 150kcal
beans, 150kcal
sausages, 300kcal
mushrooms, 50kcal
tomatoes, 150kcal
toast, 200kcal
butter, 200kcal

1950kcal total

>>17299204
You're also forgetting the tea/coffee whatever with milk and creamer, that's another 100 calories

i might have a breakfast like that at the weekend every 2-3 weeks as a treat. without the beans though, i'm not a kiddy-fiddler

>>17297700
dirty mushrooms taste like dirt

>>17297397
it tastes great. Usually it will not be that large and you will eat it if you have been doing physical work or are hung over. We also call it a "builder's breakfast"; it's supposed to be eaten if you have been doing physical work, not if you are sitting on your ass all day

>>17297424
In my country that could easily cater a family of 12.

>>17297681
>is brits the new nation to live rent free?
project harder, mate. oh, and brush your teeth.

>>17298617
you ok?

>>17299210
Good point, it'll probably have seven sugars in too. I guess OP is technically correct.

>>17297397
the non-meme answer:
most people don't eat them regularly, and when they are hungover, and even then not every time
the portions are also not that big

>>17299210
>creamer
not a thing in the uk for coffee or tea, or anywhere outside the us really

>>17299415
>project harder, mate. oh, and brush your teeth.
it's not a projection, we live rent free in a lot of heads
part and parcel with having a huge empire and brexit caused a lot of seethe too, especially amongst the germans

How many Full Englishes could you manage?

>>17297397
Anglos in general are fat-asses.
They were being fed atrocious meals for centuries and developed a capacity to endure it.
The moment they got access to ok meals they naturally couldn't stop themselves.

>>17299521
It has limited use cases everywhere in the world, for example it's useful in places like remote job sites where you don't have access to a fridge to keep a carton of milk in.

>>17297397
yes and yes, your point fatass?

>>17299131
For you

>>17299557
bit grim
need leccy for a kettle, might as well throw in a minifridge

>>17299556
I have no idea why anyone is suprised that northern european cultures, who had little access to many varities of foods and spices, and mostly lived in cold climates, developed a taste for bland, hearty food. Doubly so with Britain being the basis for the industrial revolution and the beating heart of it for hundreds of years is also a massive factor, at the turn of the 1800s 98% of the population was forced into the cities because of the land enclosure acts, in squalid conditions made to work for 12 hours a day, not much time for culinary innovation. This was the period in which Italy and France developed their cuisines that we know today.
Also doesn't help that war rationing that continued well into the 50s swept away any further chance of progress in the 20th century too.
Add a healthy dash of protestant autism into the mix and there you have your reasons for why our cuisine is so bland.
The only real crime I think is the lack of fish, considering we are an island nations, but some of the above reasons also explain that anyway.

so yeah it's a bit more complicated than anglos just being 'fat-asses'

>>17299611
No, not really. Fridges are notoriously power hungry and need to be powered on continuously. To brew coffee you really just need to boil water and you can do that with a gas burning camp stove.

>>17299663
>protestant autism
paddy...

>>17299830
They're the ones responsible for the lack of spices and seasonings.

>>17297812
Their beans are not sugar/syrup sweet. Beans on buttered toast is fucking delicious with a nice cup of Earl Grey. I can buy the bong version, blue canned Heinz, from my local store at $2.99 a can. With a couple fried eggs you have a breakfast that stays with you past lunch.

>>17297397
it's pretty well known brits are the fattest in europe (yes, you ARE european whether you like it or not)

>>17299663
>it's a bit more complicated than anglos just being 'fat-asses'
Being an island in a corner of Europe with a rough climate sure explains a lot (yet you still own iconic food like wiskey, scotch, gin, ale, cheese, breakfast...). I was kinda memeing but it's true that anglos tend to be fatter than the rest of the west (or at least 10 to 20 years in avance on the topic).

>>17297397
Before Covid, I was planning to travel to London and try to find a few escorts that have a British accent and allow bbfs, and one of the things I really wanted to try while I was there was an authentic full english. As much as people whine about english food, it always looked delicious to me. Pandemic ruined all that of course, but maybe things will return to normal enough that I can travel without fear of being stranded soon.

>>17297424
That's for one teenage boy.

>>17299663
>hundreds of years
The industrial revolution didn't last for hundreds of years you dumb shit

>>17297448
The stomach acts like a muscle. You have to train it to eat higher quantities of food, and it expands slowly over time.
If you never eat a lot of food, you will never be able to fit in a lot of food.

>>17297397
Thas a pre'y smol mounna breckie fo' a straight bloke, innit?

Increase the fullness.

>>17299853
okay paddy

>>17297485
You're thinking of a Yorkshire pudding
I wouldnt be suprised if there's a few towns somewhere near Newcastle or lancaster that unironically put their full English in a Yorkshire

Might try it myself this sunday

>>17299952
I thought the uk is gonna go zero restrictions now?

>>17297397
I think American breakfasts have more calories

>>17297397
The full english breakfast was invented when most brits did manual labour, so 2000 calories was nothing when you easily burn 4000 a day. Also, as another has said, this was not a daily breakfast, this is the perfect hangover food after a weekend boozing.

>>17299131
you can tell its alcky gut since you can see his definition in spite of it.

>>17297448
That’s a fairly small amount of English food for an average sized person, I’d say?

For around £7 you could probably get 1 egg, 1 slice toast, 2 or 3 rashers of bacon, 1 slice black pudding, one whole tomato, mushrooms, beans and probably two hash browns and two sausages although they'd probably be a lot smaller than the ones in OP's pic. Widely available in pubs, cafés and restaurants up and down the country. Probably cheaper in big chains like wetherspoons and you can probably pay £15 or more for the exact same slop in some wanky posh place in london.

I'm wondering how much an american diner breakfast of equivalent size costs.

>>17299415
lol i am danish, free dental care till i am 18 what about you? lard ass

>>17297397
The student greasy spoons round Hyde Park in Leeds will give you a key ring and your name on the wall for eating something like that
