a ticket to heathrow and an oyster card

>>9494757
okay but what are the things in the bottom left

Please tell me those squares in the top left aren't frozen waffles.

why do bongs just throw a random assortment of crap onto a plate?

wtf... do americans really eat this?

>>9494939
They're english waffle fries, which, yes, are far worse than american waffle fries.

>>9494776
Bacon rashers you fucking quirt

>Waffles with a fry up
Fucking what? I've literally never seen that.

The quintessential fry up is bacon (proper rashers not streaky), sausages, fried egg, tomato, mushrooms, black (blood) pudding and beans (they're Haricot beans in a sweet tomato sauce).
You also only have one now and then as more of a brunch and as your main meal of the day to get through to a small supper.

>>9495047
Yum, I want one. There is a great Irish pub I know of that does a whole fry up add in a pint of Guinness and you just know the rest of the day will be great.

>>9495065
The irish version varies a bit, they often have potatoes and cornbread with it instead of just toast.

>>9494776
Back bacon.

>>9495047
It needs buttered toast and/or hash browns

>>9495073
I can't remember the bread they did off the top of my head. No potatoes, fried tomatoes and mushrooms such a perfect compliment to runny yokes.

Just another example of food that AngloAmericans appropriated and made better. Get with the times achmed

>>9494754
To truly create food from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

>>9495047
>proper rashers not streaky
Are these back bacon? I'm not British.

>>9495163
Yeah, looks like this raw

>>9495038
>waffle fries
No they aren't, they're nothing like waffle fries. Waffle fries are nicer though

>>9495163
It's just very thinly sliced deboned pork chops that have been salted

>>9495170
It's called back bacon, and it's the way we usually eat it. Streaky bacon like you eat in the US is usually harder to find.

>>9494754
And whats the black thing in the middle?

>>9495197
I'm a britbong mate, just making it easy for americans to understand

>>9495198
black pudding, very yummy

>>9495198
Black pudding. Basically pigs blood and oats cooked together.

>>9495206
Uh. Doesnt sound tasty, but it looks good

>>9495206
>>9495198
it's a lot better than it sounds

>>9494754
Those ones.

>>9495210
What >>9495213 said. It's an unusual taste at first but it is great.

Also I have to add marmite on your toast to this thread.

>>9495221
I-I love you too, anon.

>>9495202
I was saying more for amerifriends who are reading the thread. I know you're a fellow bong

>>9495221
That is an abundance of Marmite sonny Jim. Usually the practice is to put a very thin layer on

>>9495436
I enjoy it

>>9495436

Enough butter to thin it and you can ice cream scoop that shit on

>>9495197
I wish we had bacon like this in the States, streaky bacon isn't as good.

>>9495463
You can easily get back bacon and pemeal bacon in the states. You're just doing a poor job of looking for it.

>>streaky bacon isn't as good.
different ingredients for different jobs. Back bacon is useless for barding a roast, for example. And it won't render out much fat if you need to use that for cooking other ingredients in your dish.

>>9495463
It's easy to make yourself. If you can mix together ingredients for a brine and are capable of hot smoking, I feel confident even you can do it.

>rasher bacon
>sun-dried turds
>FRUIT
nice try amerifag

>>9495631
Do you really expect someone who is so brain-dead that they stick random apostrophes where they don't belong to be able to differentiate two tomatoes from one that has been cut in half?

>>9495601
>>brined bacon
>>not dry cured
Sure is low standards in here.

That's a great book though, most of the recipes are fantastic.

>>9495198
Your wife's son

>>9495047
Forgot the fried bread m8

>>9495648

do not open yourself up to some cunt coming in and telling you tomatoes are a fruit. never leave that door open.

>>9495197
They sell streaky bacon in every major supermarket in the UK

>>9495153
Ok. I made a universe, now what?

>>9495679

it is harder to find smoked streaky tho

>>9495675
but tomatoes ARE a fruit and i hate that they're in my breakfast

British food is fucking trash.

>>9495713
Burgers - Germany
Pizza - Italy
Pies - England

What is your cuisine Amerifat ?

>>9495727
We take the best of everything and ignore the shit like blood pudding and haggis.

>>9495673
>be 19
>work at a small cafe
>they serve english breakfasts
>all the usual shit: rashers, eggs, sausages, mushroom, tomato, black pudding, beans, bread & butter etc
>and "fried" bread
>>>>>actually deep-fried
>soaked up the oil like a sponge but dried up and became hard & brittle once you removed it from the fryer
>almost every table i cleared ate everything but the fried bread

it was months until i mentioned it to the manager and they realised how dumb this was

>>9495700
so are a million other vegetables

>>9495732
that's just a fancy way of saying you lack originality and creativity

>>9495727

avocado toast

>>9495739
name seven household vegetables that are actually fruit

>>9495749

>>9495675
Just because you have an incorrect idea of what constitutes a fruit and stubbornly refuse to change your views doesn't mean that it isn't a fruit. For example, let me use it in context:

"Hey anon, your a fukcin fruit"

>>9495785
it is a fruit. i've just been told that by redundant purple helmets since i was fucking 5 years old. and if you know how many veg are fruit you know it's not a remotely noteworthy piece of information. fucking ratatouille is basically a fruit jam

>>9495804
I know? I wasn't the anon that thought it wasn't one.

>>9495876
you inferred that i thought it was not a fruit. i was clarifying that i know it is a fruit, but that the people who point it out to be pedantic are cunts.

>>9495749
Cucumbers
Peas
Tomatoes
Aubergine
Chilis

>>9495686
you take your new buddy and go back to r/cuckold

>>9495631
>>9495650

>>9495047
Yeah nah, those are potato waffles. The hash browns simple cousin.

>>9494754
>fried eggs
>baked beans
>sausage
>bacon rashers
>sautéed mushrooms
>Irish black pudding
>grilled tomatoes
>potato waffles

I used to buy all the ingredients and just throw them in the oven when I'd make this. If you end up with left overs, you can put them in a baguette with some butter and brown sauce for hands down the best hangover food you'll ever have.

>>9494754
Beady eyes and a burning hatred for civilization

>>9494940
Because it's fucking delicious.

where is the white pudding

>>9495918
name 6 more

>>9495210
It's really amazingly tasty. Very rich. You can practically taste the vitamins and shit.

>>9495732
>shit like blood pudding and haggis
It's frankly embarrassing being a British American when 99% of my fellow Amerilards don't like organ meats and other delicious treats. That is a glaring flaw in American cuisine.

>>9499172

>never actually tried haggis
>pretends to know it tastes bad
literally every squeamish fuck who tries haggis loves it

>>9498971
I honest to God cannot imagine a better breakfast than this.

>>9499178
>That is a glaring flaw in millenial American cuisine.

American food, traditionally, used organ meats just like everyone else does. If you look at older American cookbooks like Joy of Cooking (not the current edited version) then there are tons of offal recipes in them. Even today there are many examples: Tex-mex uses a lot of Chorizo, which is an organ-meat sausage. Cajun food is famous for "dirty rice" (made from chicken livers, gizzards, and hearts). Boudin sausage is another Cajun specialty that is made with pork liver. Deep fried chicken offal is popular all over the US South. You can stop into a gas station and get freshly fried chicken livers. Headcheese, or some variation thereof, is found all over the country. Pig's feet (trotters) are big in "soul food". I hunt a lot and venison heart (grilled) and rabbit liver (pan-fried) are always fought over in hunting camp.

It's the McDonalds-and-video-games-generation that is scared of organ meats.

>>9499225
you're disgusting and everybody knows it

>>9499221

>>9499244
i know you haven't tried haggis dude. stop being an obstreperous little fag

>>9499251
>obstreperous
nobody likes this

>>9499243
Isn't it partly a black/white divide too?

>>9494939
Honestly I've never seen a sweet waffle on an English breakfast. Usually it's toast, bread, or fried toast

>>9499178
I'm amerilard and I like blood sausage and most organ meets but I have to say the blood soup in korea made me gag. It may have been the fact that there was a spongy mass of coagulated blood sitting in it that turned me off, I don't know. It was literally the only korean dish I couldn't eat.

>>9494754
Jesus christ, that legit looks like absolute trash. It's so sad that this is considered a """"""great"""""" English breakfast

>>9494754
Bad taste

>>9494754
tomato sauce for fucking what?

>>9494754
how the fuck do you get fried eggs this white and perfect?

Any potato based food, but especially fucking Waffles, are an abomination on a full English.

>>9501058
Low heat

>>9501073
those are potato waffles mate

>>9495736
What you need to do is get nice white bread, and a pan with a knob of butter and cook it in that.

>>9498971
>Irish black pudding
>not Stornoway

>>9495736
>deep frying it
What?

>>9502754
>>9495736
Fried bread's good.

>>9502762
I make it in a frying pan with a little bit of oil

>>9499268
more like a north-south-west divide

>>9502766
Try half oil, half butter

>>9495679
It's a lot harder to find good streaky bacon in the UK than it is to find good back bacon.

>>9502806
What's wrong with the own brand streaky bacon they all sell?

>>9502938
I'm not that same anon, but here in the US we have "streaky bacon" everywhere. However, nearly all of it is crap.

These days most bacon (and ham, for that matter) is made by injecting the meat with a liquid curing solution. The resulting product is then packed "wet" in a plastic pouch. This is a shitty modern shortcut. Proper bacon is dry-cured instead of being injected with liquid.

The difference is huge. The wet-cured bacon tends to splatter when you cook it. It also shrinks a lot & curls when you cook it. Dry-cured bacon does not splatter because it doesn't contain all that added water. It also shrinks very little during cooking because it's not all "pumped up" with water. The biggest difference is in the flavor. Wet-cured bacon isn't all that flavorful because the brine dilutes the flavor of the meat. Dry-cured bacon shrinks as it cures. That concentrates the flavor rather than diluting it. You end up with a lot of water weight and less meat with the wet-pack bacon, whereas the dry-cured stuff is more flavorful because you're getting more meat and less water for your money.

Good bacon is sold "dry". It won't be sealed in a plastic bag with moisture inside. It will be sold at a deli or butcher counter. I imagine it would be very hard to find in the UK given how hard it is to find in the US where "streaky bacon" is the norm. You can easily mail-order it here, but that wouldn't help for someone in the UK.

>>9502955
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, the budget brand stuff here is all wet cured as far as I've seen, but in Waitrose at least their next step up is pointed out as dry cured, and the non-own brand fancy stuff usually is too. I can't remember seeing it sliced dry at the deli counter though.

>>9502987
If what they say on the package is honest then that looks like it would be good stuff then!

Here in the US you can sometimes find dry-cured bacon in a package like that but it's most commonly sold sliced dry at a butcher counter.

>>9503007
Waitrose is an upmarket shop in the UK, it's better quality but also more expensive.

>>9503232
Sounds like it would likely be good then.

I am always wary of "store brands" here in the US. Even the upscale ones can be hit-and-miss. But I do have family in the UK and they speak highly of Waitrose so it's probably good! I wouldn't hesitate to try it.

why anyone would use frozen waffles on a breakfast I don't know. Use potato cakes or hash browns instead.

>>9504494
they're potato waffles.

look at threads before you post

>>9504494
