GB’s contribution to the World

The Great British Breakfast.

Continentals may theatrically shudder at the sight of sizzling bacon, beans, fried egg and bread…

But get them away from their peers and the 1st thing they head for is the breakfast canteen – I’ve just come back from a quick 5 item breakie and you can’t get to the food for the Germans in the queue.

If for the conissueurs of these isles (JF just wouldn’t understand the subtleties of this) I think my choice would have to be (in ascending order):

• English breakfast (North though – southern establishments can be bland in their selection).
  
• Scottish breakfast (for quantity – I once had a 5-course breakfast in a Scottish hotel)
  
• Irish breakfast (for quality – you can’t beat their sausages, and their selection….)

But any GBB has to be better than an anaemic continental equivalent.

It tastes good but eat it everyday and you are heading full speed to obesity.

Ever had an Ulster fry up? It combines the best of all three.

In my experience of travelling England and Wales from end to end and side to side, I can concur.

A typical northern cooked breakfast will be grilled, generous and varied.

A typical southern cooked breakfast will be fried, served in a puddle of oil on an oversized plate that fools nobody, have undercooked sausages that have green bits in them, uncooked egg white, rubbish tea, include inappropriate rubbish like waffles and chips, have cutlery that cramps your hands and be stingy in its portions.

So there.

Why did you have to post this after the canteen stopped serving breakfast?

I could just go a full english now
