What item do you tuck into first?

What sauce do you use too?

Always the sausage first now I think about it.

Absolutely no clue why but I'm sure that someone will find that it has something to do with sexual repression !!

Im same pal. Always sausage every time. Weird when u think bout it

That's strange, usually sausage for me. Not something I have very often at all these days but no sauce for me.

I pick up my tea cake put on a round of Black pudding,mushrooms, bacon.suasage and then the egg,it's messy but mmmmmm lovely.

Bacon first for me, with hot chilli sauce. If none available it has to be brown.

Beans first

Break into the egg with either bread or toast first, with some brown sauce on the plate.

That follows for me. Fried bread into the egg

Hang on. Are we ALLOWED to talk about this???

Egg first because I don't really like a broken yoke mixing in with my beans or tomato.

If it's going into a butty then a rasher of bacon and a touch of brown sauce to accompany it.

A rasher?

As in a single rasher?

That bread to bacon ratio is all wrong

I like to dip my sausage into the yolk

Egg for me with brown sauce

Get rid of the beans first as they're my least favourite element.

Outed!

Okay about half a side of best back bacon.

I'm doing Slimming World and there are spies everywhere

Dip toast in egg.

Brown sauce.

People tend to eat the food they dislike the most first and save the best till last, me sausage first and must have English mustard.

Dip some toast into the egg. Normally I don't add any sauce, but I do add a little pepper to the egg. A top notch homemade full English with quality ingredients shouldn't need any sauce IMO, though I will add some brown sauce if bought in a café that turns out to be a poor choice.

English mustard on the Black Pudding and Sausage. Must be butchers quality sausage.

An ex once made me her first Full English as a treat and put a tin of Beans and sausages on the plate. There's the reason she is an ex.

Cut a piece of fried bread fork through it next bit of sausage next bit of bacon all dipped in egg then beans pushed onto it touch of ketchup and all shoved in. Delicious. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Had bl00dy muesli this morning.

So did we. Going out for lunch though.

Merge with cook in sauce thread please. Keep the same shite in the same pot as it were. Foods food right?

You wouldn't have a cook in sauce meal for brekkie, though, would you?

Therefore, the brekkie deserves a thread of it's own.
At least, that's how I see it.

My ideal Full English when I'm staying in a hotel or BnB is 2 weetabix followed by a breakfast of 1 egg, 3 rashers of bacon, beans, 1 sausage, grilled tomatoe, haggis/fried black pudding with toast. Finished off with more toast with jam on and a pot of tea. That's me then filled to enjoy the rest of the day, without buying more food.

This is the best thread I've read in weeks. Egg yolk for me. Mix it in, and make a mini sandwich for the mid meal canapé! Ideally, made with soda farls.

I haven't had a full English for so long I don't know what I'd start with.

You need a wife Sidney!

Agreed rooster. There is some light relief required.

Always dip the sausage into the egg yolk first

Wetherspoons do a cracking brekkie, under four quid, no farting about making it and
no washing up.

What's not to like?

Get the 2 rashers off bacon ( thick and Smokey) first , add a egg, a few mushrooms and hash brown on the toast, Brown sauce and put to the side for the butty at the end.

Then we get some Tomatoes on the fried bread, last 1/2 rashers of bacon, few more mushrooms and the other egg ( broken ). Black pepper and brown sauce.

Use the 2/3 sausages to eat the remaiding hash brown, black pud etc mopping up the remaining tomatoes and the juice. ( don't do beans )

Then I attack the fried bread stacker, cutting off sections of hapoiness.
( Drinking a coffee 2 sugars through out )

Finally move onto the butty, which is polished off mopping up any remaining egg,Tom, brown sauce juices that seep out.

Washing it down with fresh orange juice.

Mmmmm


Won't live past 50 like, but one a month helps keep the winter coat topped up.

Yes, usually the sausage first. I don't mess around.

the wife does that,she's A Scot is it a Scottish thing? Are you a Jock Macca?

I also start with a bite of sausage. For me it has to be fried bread, not toast. Toast comes afterwards with oodles of butter and marmalade and a cup of coffee.

I always dip my sausage in the egg!

I would push the beans and plum tomatoes aside to make room for the hot buttered toast, I would then lay the dry cured bacon in thick layers on top followed by the black pudding, mushrooms, beans, and tomatoes. I would then apply copious amounts of black pepper before laying the fried egg on top.
Then, I would write some poetry on top in Arabic script with HP sauce.
Next I would slice the big juicy sausage up, slide my knife through the mountain of monty on toast making sure a bit of everything is pierced on the fork, then stab a slice of juicy sausage on the end, dip it in the Colman's English Mustard and slide the whole thing into my slavering chops and wash it down with hot strong Yorkshire Tea - a little milk, no sugar.
But I don't eat pork, it's against my religion.

Sausage never comes first: it acts as a breakwater for the beans and the bacon

That's a risky manoeuvre JohnMac. Attacking the egg first risks serious yolk spillage on to the rest of the plate and unless you have a solid sausage defence, it's likely to mix with the beams and tomato.

I'd leave it until last to avoid collateral damage to the beans and tomato, although you do run the risk of a cold egg!

There's nothing I don't like in a full English, so I tend to go round the plate trying a bit of each. Yolk and some beans are always moped up as I clean my plate with some toast. Definitely no sauce with a breakfast, would ruin it.

Sausage is perfect right at the end. I would save half a sausage and slice it longways then it can be used to plow all the remaining mixed peppery, tomatoey, beany, egg yolky juices up together, cleaning the plate for next time it's used.

But definitely no beans or tomatoes. Not sure when beans became part of an English breakfast.

Fried bread (not deep fried), well cooked bacon, sausage, black pudding, eggs and toast (has to be cold before buttered).

And it has to be occasional to be appreciated. Wouldn't want to be overweight....

Cheers boys, I wonder what I'm about to have for breakfast....................

If I have bread then I'd make a butty 1st. If not, then I eat hash brown 1st, dipped into fried egg

Sausage always first, no sauce thats what the beans are for. Like adding Worcester Sauce or chilli sauce to my beans.

Weirdly always leave the egg till last, it has to be on some toast. I eat the egg white first then the yoke all in one go. Can not let that yoky goodness break open.

Tomatoes in a breakfast are an abomination. They belong in salads and on pizzas.
Much rather have mushrooms.

Always the eggs first, then black pudding and no matter what is on the plate I eat the sausage and bacon last. At this stage I am eating as slowly as possible to make it last longer, and then attack the plate with at least 2 rounds of toast.

I get rid of the tomato first as it's my least favourite part.

I should really ask for it to be served minus said tomato but then I'd be being really unhealthy.

When I'm FINISHING a full English, I always get a bit of everything on my fork. Bit of bacon, egg, Black pud, Saus, hash brown, brown sauce.

Wonderful!

For sauce, if the breakfast has beans, I'll stick with just a bit of brown sauce. If it doesn't... red and brown sauce.
