You can have 'em either sweet or savoury. They go best with a hangover or massive drug comedown.

I suppose I'd have porridge for breakfast, still not sure what I'd put with grits though

It was because you used the term "over easy", I am also against flipping like any right minded egg connoisseur.
In referencing the Yanks, and that's a term they use, or so I thought. At least least the over easy is still supposed to have some sort of runny yolk, so it's not the full on evil of US cheese, or their 'tea'

Ahh, I see, sceptics was referring to septics? I've only seen pictures of US cheese but it looks heavily manufactured, I'm sure some of it is ok, maybe.

One quick edit and you'll never know I can't spell!

And some US cheese is very good, but the mass produced and generally available stuff is awful, the blocks of it are bad, the slices and spray versions even worse. I could say some of the cheeseburgers are fine, but the cheese can be so tasteless and they load them up with so many things it's also just fat and calories for the sake of it, fat and calories for the sake if it being the everyday American diet

That is exactly where I went. There is nothing that should be described as cheese which can fit through an aerosol nozzle.

Full English? Since when did yez get the monopoly of the heart attack on a plate? I'm just after dropping the Gosling back to Uni in Weegieville and enjoyed a full Scottish Breakfast each morning. The Full Irish Breakfast in Davy Byrnes with a couple of pints of Guinness is an essential precursor to big match days in Dublin, but living up here, ye have to have an Ulster Fry which is the same as all the others except you get converted to Free Presbyterianism into the bargain.

Where is the haggis in the options? And can we please specify that the black pudding has to be Stornoway Black Pudding (Or Clonakilty if ye can't get Stornoway). Beans are not only acceptable, but essential and the breads need to be a farl each of soda and potato bread, a good thick slice of wheaten with an equally thick layer of proper, salted (Irish) butter to soak up the yolk of your fried eggs and two slices of good, wholemeal brown for your marmalade. Stewed tomatoes are the Devil's bloody piles, while a nice serving of butter-fried button mushrooms is infinitely better than one of those braised and tasteless dustbin lids that too often hog the plate. Getting the sausages right is vital. Don't skimp on the fecking sausages. Cumberland pork sausage is best, good pork and leek sausage next. Those fecking spindly little fingers of spam that some places try to pass off as sausage should be flung at the retreating back of whichever harpie tried to foist them off on you.

And brown sauce. People putting ketchup on breakfast need drowned in a vat of stewed tomatoes.

Tea with breakfast - and Earl Grey tea at that. At least a pint and a half of it.

One advocate for Earl Grey tea would be worrying, two is alarming. Are you adding milk to that floral nonsense or taking it plain?

Myself tea should be strong with only a little milk (and skimmed milk at that) with the milk in first to lessen the denaturing of the proteins. That said whilst I prefer tea early in the day freshly brewed black coffee is for me the best pairing with a fry up, though obviously not as strong as an after dinner coffee

I’m not an advocate for Earl Grey but I know an advocate called Earl Gray.

He looks like a Matalan-dressed rent boy catering for the genteel end of the river-cruise market!

Mmm...a darker more sober suit wouldn't go amiss either. He is so pasty and washed out looking with his colouring he is beginning to disappear into the wall behind him.

Poor chap, I'm sure deserves none of this sartorial criticism.

...and a good breakfast. That's what he needs most of all. It all comes together rather neatly you see.

I’m up an hour too early after a solid bender. I’m having a beer and two poached eggs on toast.
