- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 22 hours ago:
OG Mini. So, yes, had a manual clutch. Now, 40-something years later I’m driving an automatic for the first time because they don’t make the car I wanted at the spec. I wanted in a manual.

Unless we’re talking about trans Glaswegian vampires this seems desperately unlikely.

My daughter and wife both made the appropriate horrified, shocked face when I showed them this.
Personally, as long as I can have my deep pan, spicy beef x2, spicy pork x2, spicy sausage x2, doner meat x2, peperonni, fresh chilli, and jalapeno pizza I don’t care what other people have on theirs. My wife likes sweetcorn and pineapple, and knowing this I still married her.

A strong position to take on a post about a full English.
Veggie versions abound, though, replacing pork sausages with Glamorgan sausages and bacon with halloumi or some such. And you can get vegan black pudding too, though I’ve never tried it. A good veggie version is fine eating.
Once you go full vegan though, it gets a bit harder since you also need to fake the eggs (and I’ve only heard of people doing tofu-based scrambled ‘eggs’) and faking or swapping out the bacon and the sausages and the black pudding so by that stage I’d be wondering why I was trying to recreate such a meat forward meal.

Well, you’re very welcome to continue enjoying your fry-ups.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
What you describe is a mere fry-up. The required ingredients of a full English are eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, and tomato. Six perfect ingredients.
There’s nothing wrong with a fry-up, mind you. But it’s not a full English without the six.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
I’m guessing you’ve never tried it. It’s a glorious food stuff and the full English is its perfect context.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
It might not sound appetising but it tastes great. Try it sometime. And in a full English is where it’s best with a little egg, beans and tomato. Lush.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
Not really it’s delicious. And eaten in one form or another in all parts of the world.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
Are you sure?
Wikipedia tells me blood sausages are available in Puerto Rico (morcilla), Wisconsin, Maine, Michigan, the San Francisco Bay Area, Fresn, Santa Rosa, and of course, Cajun Louisiana.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
You rarely have a full English followed by a heavy lunch. More often a heavy nap.
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
Some things matter!
- Comment on Sunlight special 2 weeks ago:
This is not a full English due to the following issues or errors:
- Fried eggs are ideal, poached acceptable, and some oddballs like scrambled. Boiled egg is not acceptable. There should be two eggs as standard, more if the breakfast is a ‘large’.
- It’s missing baked beans that have simmered until the sauce thickens into a syrup.
- While cafes love to serve this kind of tomato that’s only because it’s easy to keep a pot of chopped, tinned tomatoes warm. If you’re going tinned, they should be good quality whole plum tomatoes. But well-grilled fresh tomatoes are acceptable. No cherries. No vine attached. Definitely no raw tomato.
- It’s missing the black pudding which elevates a fry-up into the full English.
- Fans of the full English almost all prefer cooked sausages over raw ones.
- The mushrooms look like they came in a tin. Ideally whole field or chestnut mushrooms shoud be used.
There is hearty debate amongst the governing body of the full English about whether or not hash browns are acceptable on a breakfast. Many declare them to be unwanted compared to, for example, bubble and squeak or a tattie scone, or even fried potatoes. They go further and label them ‘trash browns’, ‘American nonsense’, or just ‘shite’. Personally I don’t mind them, and consider them to be an optional addition, but not a core requirement of the full English. There are many other optional additions, not to mention regional specialities which render an Ulster fry very different to a full Welsh or a full Scottish. Hogs pudding, white pudding, fruit pudding, haggis, Lorne sausage, potato farl, soda bread, laverbread, kidneys, etc.
I am available for for keynote speeches on the subject should anyone be organising a full English conference.
