Went for sunny side up eggs (essentials), hash browns, caramelised onion sausages, sweet cured smoked bacon, beans and piece of toasted sourdough with French butter. beans were cooked down with a splash of Tabasco and fish sauce and loads of black pepper all over. Sauces are sweet sriracha ketchup / black truffle ketchup. Could have perhaps done another sausage but other than this is what l'd deem a perfect fry up.

    Please don’t posts like this anymore. Your gonna have to share if you do. Looks delicious, good sh*t.

  2. Deducting points because you made this actually look appetizing instead of the normal Plate of random brown mush.

    Chives work for color but honestly I’d much rather have onion powder on the table to stir in. It looks like it’s been added for assistance but would be annoyingly inconsistent for flavor.

    Do fresh chives belong on fried eggs? IMO, it’s questionable. I’d put them on something that needs to be chewed an equal amount, like beans. Chive salt or chive powder on eggs alone would make more sense.

  4. Honestly? 4/10.
    It looks like you spent too much time cutting chives and messing about with the beans, and have overcooked the bacon and the bread for sure.
    Impossible to say whether the egg yolk looks overdone because of the chive density.
    Spend a bit more time on the fundamentals and a bit less on the garnish.

  5. What’s the herb, parsley? Might look nice but those eggs are going to taste nasty caked in it like that.

    It’s missing mushrooms and black pudding, and the toast looks a little burnt.

    Tabasco and fish sauce have no place in baked beans.

    Overall, you’ve got the basics right but missing a couple of items and trying too hard in other regards.

    I’d give you 7/10 but I’m afraid all that parsley drops it down to a 5.

  6. Too many chives. Eggs look like the butter burnt while cooking. Where’s the black pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms? Certainly not a full English breakfast.

    9/10 because the missing black pudding and you burned the bread but it looks very good for an english breakfast. not too many chives!

  8. Doesn’t really look like an English breakfast but still looks great. Respect for keeping the beans as I know lots of foreigners are precious when it comes to BB.

  9. You can cook, but you’ve tried too hard. Eggs look weird, like they were cooked in butter and then rolled around in the garden. Toast is over done. One sausage, unlike one egg, is not “un oeuf” either.

    Missing components is ok in my book if you swap them for ones you prefer, but that doesn’t seem to have happened.

  10. Take off the herbs, un-burn the toast and magically remove the fish sauce and yeah I’d probably give that a 5/10 which is solid for a non English attempt.

    4/10.

    Burnt toast, not enough. Burnt eggs, too much green shit. Not enough sausage. No mushroom, tomato or black pudding. Hash browns are not required, and look quite basic.

    Bacon looks good.

  12. Hiding eggs you cooked on the Elephants Foot in Chernobyl under the clippings from a privet hedge eh

  13. 3/10, Reasons
    1. WTF is that green shite all over it?! It’s a breakfast, not a salad.
    2. Fucking with the beans, they were perfectly fine out of the tin.
    3. Poncy sauces, acceptable sauces for a full English are HP or regular old Ketchup, preferably Heinz.
    4. No mushrooms or tomato. Even though tomatoes are essential ornamental and should never be eaten on a full English, they are a nice decoration.
    5. Inadequate sausage. Your sausage is deficient in both girth and length, no amount of caramelisation can make up for this.
    6. Your bacon appears to be both uncooked and overcooked at the same time, bravo!
    7. Stupid plate, you should be able to see what you are eating
    8. French butter on an English breakfast!? are you trying to troll an entire nation?
    9. Where is the cup of tea? It’d better be there, I bet you drank it with a coffee or some other unacceptable beverage.

  14. I’m cackling at these comments. My first ever English breakfast was in a hole in the wall diner in Gloucester. Best breakfast ever! Can hardly find black pudding in Canada… Sigh
