What makes an awesome full english breakfast?

Needless to say my B&B always did it very well indeed.

Around here you can also get haggis prepared in a chub like a black pudding, so it can be sliced and fried in the same way. If I had to choose haggis or black pudding slice I’d usually go for the haggis, though I would take both if I could.

Bacon has to be unsmoked. Bread has to be fried. Add beans, a grilled tom and maybe a hash brown or two and we’re good to go. Put mushrooms anywhere within a yard of my plate and it’s a hanging offence.

I invested in a meat grinder/mincer and make my own sausages. I found a lot of the skins too tough so in favour used a burger press to make sausage burgers. So much easier to put on a bread roll too

I love every thing, with hash browns or chips and my Grandma used to make me something called bratkartoffein which was nice.

Oh yes don't like scrambled eggs because of something gross I did with them years ago

Ah, sorry you missed it! Yes, the B&B has closed for the season and with me having finished training and started working as a minister in a church full time, it’s very unlikely to open again. We’ve no quite formally shut it yet as we could in theory do the odd night here and there next spring, but it’s not very likely.

I had this whilt I was in Scottland. It was definately square and reminded me of a mixture between stuffing and pork sausage.
Was well nice!

Yep, that’s pretty much what a Lorne sausage is, though rather than being pressed in individual patties, it’s typically found in a butcher’s shop in a long box shape that yields squares of meat when sliced.

We favoured Lorne sausage over links in our B&B because they cook faster and because our walkers’ breakfast was filled rolls rather than plated items. Lorne does indeed work very well in a bread roll, especially a Scottish morning roll which has a crispy, well-fired crust and a light, open texture within.

Gosh I’m hungry now

Bacon (smoked or unsmoked), Sausage (Lincolnshire), Egg (either fried, poached or scrambled depending on mood), Beans, Mushrooms, Toast and if it comes with fried bread I will eat it but won't do that if I am cooking at home.
