Was meant to be going out for breakfast, but plans got changed, so it's going to be bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast and a pint of Earl Grey here. My eggs are from some or other fancy hens and have like a powder blue shell. Posh here, see?!

Very posh! I made do with some Waitrose free range. They cost a fortune here, but I'm not buying those battery hen eggs.

Enjoy Bruce

hmmmm.... am now inspired... usually have cooked brekkie on a saturday - but the kitchen is depressingly tip-like this morning and the hob is laden with dirty pans... so i was thinking of skipping it... gonna have to cut a swathe through the clutter and unearth the frying pan now!!

[Bruce Rioja]

Good work, chaps.

[Burnden Paddock]

Bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes for me. Fried slice? Don't mind if I do!

discovered the missus had used up all the mushrooms - so had to go with beans.. had toast cos I couldn't be arsed getting the deep fat fryer out and doping fried bread...

anyway..

THE BIG TOPIC OF THE DAY....

hash browns... becoming ubiquitous in cooked breakfasts offered by many establishments... yet - do they have a place in an English Cooked Breakfast? my response - clearly not - sod off back to america you infiltrating potatoesque intruders... but am I swimming against the tide??

Only ever have hash browns with a breakfast, on the very rare occasion I might go to maccy d's. No place in a full English imo.

Just consumed said breakfast. Bloody fantastic. Possibly the best that I've ever made for myself. Feeling very full now.

Did my fried bread in the frying pan after i'd done the eggs. Doubly unhealthy, but what the heck!

You use a deep fat fryer for the fried bread your holiness ??

Never in my born days.

Hash browns have no place in an English cooked breakfast. Beans I'm fine with. Now if you're having a cooked breakfast then anything that is cooked goes. I enjoy a hash brown, but that is always in a cooked breakfast.

No they fecking well don't. I can't believe that people allow this regurgitated American shite onto their breakfast plate without demanding a buttered potato cake in its place.

no - because i can't ever be bothered to get it out for breakfast..

if I've already made chips in it, on the other hand... different matter...

[thebish]

mealworms, bamboo worms, silkworm paupae (chocolate coated) and grasshoppers dipped in honey...

In the frying pan, post bacon & tomatoes etc. I trust.

aye - always sounds good - but then where do you put your egg, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms while you're frying the bread without it all going cold...

and often you end up with summat that's not really fried - but pan-toasted - which isn't quite the same!!

I didn't succumb. I don't feel any better for not succumbing.

Hmmm. See, when I cook a breakfast the only things that I fry are eggs.

[Bruce Rioja]

Found some shortcrust pastry in the freezer so have nipped out for a jar of mincemeat (which I'll add a little brandy to). I've only got a muffin tray to do them in so BIG mince pies ahoy!

i like to mix it up!! i quite like mushrooms grilled - and i sometimes put the sausages in the George Foreman - but often as not i whack it all in the frying pan!
