Full English, however as everyone has slight variations or additions:
Sausages, hash brown, fried mushrooms, fried bread, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, fried egg.… And now I’m hungry again.
Take away the beans and I’m right with you 👌
I would, but the band hasn’t figured out that I don’t really know how to play the tuba yet.
That’s not a bad spread. Should probably add that it’s back bacon, and not streaky bacon that the yanks eat.
Yes! Good clarification to make! And the fat parts have to be cooked (too many a time I’ve ordered a breakfast, to get uncooked fat).
So you all cook the bacon correctly over there? God bless.
egg soboro right now: crack an egg in a pan, constant stirring, 8 minutes or so at the lowest heat, super fluffy, flavored textured egg curds.
I made this today with fresh eggs from a farm around the corner with fresh garlic and tomatoes from my garden and sprinkled with celery salt and parsley.
sounds great, except I don’t know what celery salt is.
what is that?
oh, literally celery seeds ground up with salt.
I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with it before. I’m going to have to give that a try, that’s definitely a good combination.
Oh is that the term for it? I’ve been calling it “super smooth scrambled eggs” which doesn’t adequately describe the texture. Egg curds is pretty close but it’s almost like a creamed egg. So soft and fluffy, I like to add cream cheese into it while it’s cooking and serve it on toast with melty cheese and a bit of tomato salsa. Yum!
yup, egg soboro.
woo that toast you make sounds goood
Yakisoba with shrimp and napa cabbage.
Pho is also a great breakfast food.
When I’m feeling like punishing my digestive system, biscuits and gravy (homemade only–nobody seems to know how to make it properly anymore).
Fry up some bulk breakfast sausage, make a roux with the grease, add milk? Or do you anything different / have any tips?
You’re mostly there.
Fry up the bulk sausage, making sure you chop it up nicely. Don’t skimp on the sausage. Make a roux with the grease and a bit of flour and milk. Add flour and milk gradually to your desired consistency (I like it fairly thick), but don’t go overboard on the milk or it will become bland and milky. Add fresh cracked black pepper and, importantly, no other seasonings or toppings.
That last part is where every place seems to go wrong these days. Almost everywhere overdoes it by trying to make it something fancy, so they add extra seasonings and things like bacon and green onions and salt. I love bacon and green onions and salt, but they don’t go into gravy. And some places forget the pepper. You need pepper. And of course, most places are very skimpy on the actual sausage, even though it’s cheap.
Anyway, once done, apply liberally to your preferred biscuits. Quick, easy, delicious.
Ah, right, pepper! I agree the pepper is important. I sometimes add some tobasco too (sorry!)
Nothing wrong with adding it to your own plate as long as it’s not in the dish you’re serving others. 😉

If I had been a member of Monty Python, we would be calling email spam… Bacon today.
Steel cut oatmeal with maple syrup and almonds and shredded coconut.
Chilaquiles
Are you an eggs or cecina on the side kind of guy?
I’d never heard of cecina before, but looking it up I think I’ve had things like it, and would definitely opt in, if it were offerred.
I’ve actually only had it a handful of times, and don’t come across it too often where I live, so I’ll take it however I can get it.
You are in for a treat when the chance comes up. My mom would serve chilaquiles with a side of refried beans, cecina with mexican cream on top, cotija cheese and avocado slices or guacamole.
Sounds amazing!
For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it’s really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I’m feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I’ll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.
For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.
If anyone’s curious, here’s the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):
4 Tbsp nutritional yeast 2 tsp chili powder 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak) 1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour) 1/2 tsp garlic powderDo you press the tofu beforehand, or just out of the package and into the frying pan?
I’ve tried both ways and didn’t really note any differences. If anything, unpressed might’ve had a slightly better texture.
I find for crumbled or smaller pieces of tofu, pressing doesn’t do much. It’s really more for when you have bigger chunks and want to marinate it, in my experience.
If I have to pick one item, a breakfast taco with chorizo, egg, and cheese.

Those are delicious.
Used to make something very similar, but we used a pancake for the “shell” instead of a tortilla.
Breakfast sandwich. Eggs, ham, steak, and cheese on a poppyseed bun. Honorable mention to the humble breakfast burrito version too
Oh man, I have too many favorite breakfasts to choose from…
Simple Eggy toast: crack, an egg in a skillet break the yolk and place bread on top flip when cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and Valentina hot sauce
Heart attack: can of corn beef hash, fried in a skillet add pepper, thyme and garlic. Cook until P Parts of it are slightly crispy. Plate and add a fried egg, baked beans, and a piece or two of buttered toast
Homemade egg McMuffin using standard deli ham instead of Canadian bacon
Each of these with a fresh brewed latte sweetened with local honey for allergy benefit
biscuits and gravy but its not the same if I can’t have some scrambled egg with it.
Need some runny yolk with that gravy though.
Not for me. don’t like yolk to strong flavor, don’t like white to weak flavor, love egg when blended.
I like having congee or pho for breakfast
Sometimes I have fried rice with chinese sausage and eggs
Pan-fried Salmon, Miso Soup, and Rice is good too
Spam or sardines are great with egg and fried rice too.
Omelettes. So versatile. So good. Of all the combos I love bacon and mushrooms in my american cheese omelettes best of all.
Pancakes are a close second.
