David Frost said he enjoyed a ‘Great British Breakfast’ with his team, before entering into negotiations with his European counterparts in the week.
It’s a funny little soundbite & I'm not sure what it says, but I went to Dublin once for my bro in laws 30th, but that’s another story & after a night on the lash we went for breakfast. I looked at the menu & it said ‘Irish breakfast’, so I asked the waitress, “What’s an Irish breakfast”
& she said, “Sausage, bacon, egg, beans, black pudding, fried bread...”
the only country outside China that drinks more tea than us per capita is Ireland...

White pudding in Ireland Shirley. That’s the difference. Haggis on a Scottish breakfast. Potatoes on a southern English breakfast. No potatoes up North. |

One of the best breakfasts I've had was an Irish breakfast in a bar in Amsterdam, big place opposite the casino, I think it had black pudding and white pudding on it, lovely.
I like the Toby buffet breakfasts but they're not too good for the waistline and I've never been able to buy into the concept of a Yorkshire pudding and 'breakfast' gravy, I think someone at head office got their mushrooms mixed up..
I suppose sausages are a different thread but for me, at home, it has to be Richmond Irish, I've tried many others and always go back to them, I'm surprised Aldi or Lidl haven't copied them yet.

A quick internet search has them as the best selling sausages in the UK. I'm not the only one that likes 'tasteless shit' obviously  |

I don't get Richmond sausages at all, been recommended to me and tried a few times and do nothing at all.. work takes around Shropshire often and theres a few places where great sausages are available and for not too much more than supermarket prices, all the butchers in Ludlow, for instance, have fabulous sausages plus a few places up by Whitland Market Drayton

If anyone fancies breakfast in Congleton they do this. Anyone fancy finishing it.
The excellently-named Bear Grills cafe in the town of Congleton,holds a Man Vs Bear eating challenge with a meal called The Hibernator.
For the price of £19.95, you can feast upon an 8000-calorie meal of:
8 sausages
8 rashers bacon
4 fried eggs
4 hash browns
4 pieces of toast
4 black puddings
4 pieces of fried bread with butter
4 waffles
1 four-egg and cheese omelette
1 ladel mushrooms
1 ladel Beans
1 ladel Tomatoes
Chips
And,the piece de resistance, a giant strawberry milkshake topped off with whipped cream.
Think it you do it in 30 or 45mins I forget the time. It's free

I was in SAN Francisco a few years ago and fancied a good Bfast.
I had about half of the Congleton menu above and included Grits. Had to leave it half through as I could not eat anymore.
The waiter threatened to “Call the Cops as it’s a crime to leave so much food” ! 😃👮🏻♀️

Seen it and heard it on movies so had to give it a try. God knows what they are but don’t want to try them again. 🤢 |

Best cooked on a clean shovel in the firebox of a steam engine. This also falls into the hobby category. Always remember to do the eggs last. 🙂🍳🥓🚂

Rule #1 - no baked beans Rule #2 - no hash browns Rules #3 onwards - see rules #1 & #2
Richmond Sausages? Meh. If you can't get sausages from a decent butcher/farm shop, I recommend Asda's own as a cheap alternative. Much much nicer than Richmonds, slightly spicey & hold their size & shape well because they're not overly riddled with fat & filler.

Really spoilt here for the sausages Q. Next place along the coast is Aberdovey. Fantastic butcher tucked away in one of the side streets doing all his own bangers, as many do obviously, but his are something else. No seaweed involved either!.  |

You may be living somewhere where they take tourists to see how we used to live 400 years ago, Chuffed, but it has a few advantages. Seaweed? That's made me amend my rules:
Rule #3 - under no circumstance whatsoever should there be that vile substance known as laverbread.
