Breakfast time is the coolest mealtime of the day, though.

Breakfast is one of the best meals of the day.
Breakfast is also good any time of the day.
'Full English', I have learned, is a malleable concept.
And, of course, considering the crowd, I'll order up some biscuits and gravy. Mmmmmm, good.

I like breakfast, but I'll pass on the so called English one.

We've had it and it can be nice if it isn't too early, but not in this weather!

I think - need to double check - that the full English was initially supposed to set workers up for a day of physical labour. Obviously, most people do not do that anymore and so it's much too 'heavy' for every day. I don't have one often but it is a treat when I do

I think so too, so that counts as a double check.

I presume the ingredients were a lot cheaper then too - bacon and sausages, for instance, were quite cheap (comparatively). Eggs .. I do not know.

Eggs weren't expensive, really just chickenfeed.

Quite a few communities would have their own pig since they're easy and cheap to raise, so bacon shouldn't have been too expensive.

We had lunch buffet at Radisson yesterday. First cold food, salads and cheese. Then what I considered an English breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, small sausages, mushrooms and beetroots. I forwent supper, could not eat more.

What the British visualize when I mention 'biscuits and gravy': This is the reality of what I reference when I mention 'biscuits and gravy': It looks more like cat barf on baps.

A modern breakfast must include vegetables. Mushrooms are good. Tomatoes are good. Baked beans are good. Hash browns are an American innovation ... but are good. I've never seen beetroot in a full English breakfast. Unless I just blanked out the horror!

Mushrooms are fungi. Tomatoes are fruit. Beans are legumes. Hash browns are tubers. None are really 'vegetables'.

This is making me hungry.... I have only had smoothies today... and half a loaf of the pumpkin seed cranberry bread that I kind of ate in the car driving from place to place. Must go home and eat.
I feel compelled to say that Mushy Peas .... in the old days Allan (I think) would have made a mention of Mushy peas in this thread (Or maybe not... but for some reason I think I have to bring Mushy peas into this thread.

Then you've never travelled overseas to the United Kingdom. There, they have the basic Full English, with variations upon a theme, and Full Scots, and Full Irish. I imagine there is a Full Ulster, too, but I'm afraid to ask.
I'd have thought that hanging out around here, you'd have become acquainted. It is a reoccurring topic of conversation. It is food, after all. Rather like the biscuits and gravy I like to flaunt.

No. I have a hideous fear of large bodies of water. I've tried to book trips overseas. But every time I try I stop and choose a mountainous trip that's is far away from an ocean. I will not stay on a beach long before I decide to go inland to shop.
I disappeared on hear for a couple of year for reasons.
Love me some food.
