On my first office job, working round the corner, the Regency was our local go-to for their amazing fish and chips on a Friday lunchtime. No queues, no kids, no film crews, just locals and office workers on their lunch break. It was a long time ago, but fantastic memories (the boss always paid which was even better).

The superb combining of flavours: salty, meaty, eggy, slightly sweet (beans/tomtoes) and texture is what - for me - makes the full English one of the worlds GREAT dishes. Most of the ingredients are eaten in other countries individually in some form or other (with the possible exception of British style Bangers), but putting them together in this way is an act of genius.

I read somewhere that the Full English Breakfast can trance it's origins to the Medieval times in the 14th century. The country gentry used to serve up a breakfast feast for themselves and guests. It included eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, black pudding, kidneys..but it also included pork chops, rump steak and pork crackling. The Victorians introduced the fried tomato and baked beans to the Full English replacing the pork chop and rump steak. Then the Edwardians perfected it with tomato sauce, HP and toast.

@peterfrandsen1948 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great video. In my opinion a typical traditional English breakfast is two sausages, two bacon rashers, two fried eggs and loads of buttered toast. Black pudding, baked beans, grilled or fried tomatoes, and mushrooms can be added as optional extras. Colmans English mustard might not be usual with the traditional English breakfast but it gives the sausages and the bacon an extra little kick. This would be followed by buttered toast with marmalade and jam. In my younger days I used to eat the full monty quite often, especially when I travelled by rail or stayed in hotels. Personally I avoid hash browns, chips, maple syrup, jam and pancakes all on the same plate and treat them as invasive species from the USA. Also even though I'm a Northerner I can live without black puddings.

Thought I'd add me tuppence worth. London born (1956), worked here all me life. I consider a full English to be - 2 Eggs, 2 Bacon, 2 Sausage, Beans, PLUM Tomatoes, Mushrooms, 2 slices white bread (as Robert said, to mop up the juices) or toast. Fried bread is an acquired taste and most cafés don't do it right. Mug of Tea. Chips or Hash Browns? Nah! If you go for the Full Monty, then add Bubble & Squeak, Black Pudding and Kidneys. The above is what I would consider as the minimum - any less and you're being ripped off. Just my opinion, and as Robert said, many regional variations.

Looks delish. In Sydney a Full English generally tends to be sausage, bacon, 2 eggs (cooked how you like), baked beans, hash browns, black pudding, fried tomato, mushrooms, and toast of your choice. Although my personal favourite hangover breakfast is something I thought of one hungover morning at a local cafe. I order Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale topped with avocado, then I ask for a side of beer battered chips/fries/wedges with a ramekin of extra hollandaise sauce. Alternate between dipping the chips in the hollandaise and egg yolk. Sublime.

Love this! I watch A LOT of British shows (about B&B's: 4 In A Bed) What I've seen as a 'standard' full English is: eggs, sausage or bacon (I see most people have sausage - it seems Brits are >very< serious about sausage), tomato (fresh broiled or canned ?), beans, black pudding and hash browns ( it seems no one has a problem with those pre-made frozen triangles), sometimes I see fried mushrooms. Here in Canada, is a more simple offering. the usual breakfast is eggs, bacon OR ham OR sausage (I'm sure they're not as good as yours) & toast. *Our usual bacon is what you guys call 'streaky bacon ' - the bacon you use is called ' back bacon' here. Hash browns which are usually loose grated or diced potato, fried. Boiled potatoes fried on a flat top, we call home-fries. Tomatoes are just a few slices of fresh & would cost extra. Our southern American neighbours do about the same but in ridiculous HUGE portions. I'd love to hear if what I see if the breakfast on the UK B&B shows is correct. The HP sauce, I see is usually called 'brown sauce '. Great post! Thank you!

If I was the owner of a cafe or burger van that done full English, I would make it a priority to ask customers how they wanted their eggs served ( runny dippy yolk. hard well done. scrambled or omelette ); .. this is absolutely crucial to make sure you business is going to thrive.. There is nothing worse than getting a full english with a fried egg sitting next to a puddle of plum tomato juice.. because when you pop the yolk it gets instantly diluted ! .. Do what Alan Partridge says and put it beside a sausage to use as a break water.. If you are a new cafe owner I suggest you ask customers how they like their toast aswell ( light. med. near black ) .. and tea strength ( strong . weak ).. Also not forgetting the cheap version ketchups !! .. if it aint HEINZ or HP you should be sent to the gallows !

Speaking as someone who has worked in the industry since my early teens (I'm now nearly 30) I have to say whilst your idea is good in principle, due to the sheer volume of covers required to make a cheap eats cafe work the options you describe would add considerably to the price of a plate, the reason The Regency and places like it are cheap and fast is because the menus are very much set.

I'm an ex-pat living in Canada, and love Marmite! I brought a pot into work one day and a coworker asked if he could try it (he'd never even heard of it). I forgot to mention to him to use it exceedingly sparingly, so he smeared it on 1/4" thick, like peanut butter. He took one bite and spit it out. I feel bad, as I'm sure I forced him into the anti-Marmite camp for life (although it was funny to see his reaction).

Builders tea too weak? It's the opposite. Drop of milk

@RobertsLondon 7 жыл бұрын

You must be a builder! The internet is guessing incorrectly from historical anicdotes or understandably confusing British builders with cowboys. British builders tea is the weakest tasting tea you will find in the world today - Asian nations would just laugh at your tea flavored milkshake. It is made in most cafes today using cheap little tea bags in a mug and not with loose leaf tea in a tea pot. So it tastes terible black therefore it is diluted with milk and often far too much. No tea diluted with milk is "strong" its diluted to weaken the taste. They then add spoon loads of sugar to further mask the taste of the tea. Even if builders ask for a "strong" brew which is where the confusion arrises, the tea bag, milk and sugar combo is still weak compared to tea made properly with leaves in a pot and drunk in tea ceromonies without being diluted with milk and sugar.

Original greasy spoon term comes from cafes in the 60’s, where a spoon was suspended from the ceiling on a piece of string for everyone to use for their hot drinks, you can imagine after a while the spoon became very greasy, hence the term “greasy spoon” Neil.

I would never dream of putting baked beans on my breakfast plate, they are o'k on thickly buttered toast, or with baked spuds, but I prefer an extra slice of back rasher, or black pudding. The best breakfast I ever enjoyed was at Dublin Airport, it was a ruinously expensive buffet, but I still slaver at the memory of black pudding, white pudding, and most of all I remember what the Irish call 'spud cake' I am delighted that it is now available in our local Sainsburys. and our Sunday breakfast now fully qualifies as a heart attack on a plate.

Builder's tea is extra STRONG, not overly milky? The trouble with good cafes is they're always busy? If it's not busy there's probably a reason?

@RobertsLondon 7 жыл бұрын

Builders tea is not strong tea, the internet seems to believe it is but they are just guessing and have the whole story wrong. There is a misconception that British builders and their tea are strong, when in reality they are just weak and rubbish. There is even a brand of builders tea bags running with the story its strong now. It has always been made with cheap rubbish tea bags that taste too bad to be drunk the way tea should be drunk so milk and sugar is added to take the edge off. No tea made with tea bags and with milk in is strong. In Asia and India they have a different name for that drink, milk tea. I've made videos about Asian milk tea and they do it properly.

@RobertsLondon 7 жыл бұрын

Traditionally builders tea is a euphemism for the cheap weak crap AKA tea bags you literally gave to the tradesmen like the builders. Its been redefined in recent decades by the current generations of lower working classes as strong but the poor retards don't realise you can't actually make a strong cup of tea with a tea bag. Leaving a tea bag in longer makes it darker and increasingly bitter but not stronger. So to make it palatable they add ridiculous quantities of milk weakening it further by dilution. The only way to make strong tea is with large quantities of tea so you need loose leaf tea and a tea pot. So yes manual labourers still think builders tea is strong because of its colour and thats why they labour with their hands not their heads.
