Best meal of the day.

What is it with the full English Breakfast ? 
Why do we bother calling it English, when the English seem so crap at making it ?
Full English Breakfast.  Nobody seems to know how to make one these days. Just another symptom of the decline of social interaction I suppose.  The family unit is in decline, so nobody learns how to cook as a matter of growing up anymore. 
Now you have to be some self-important "celebrity" chef lording it over the common plebs.
I had breakfast in Heston's' Little Chef at Popham the other week and never again. It was terrible. They didn't even manage to cook the baked beans. How to take the successful Olympic breakfast, one of the better and more consistent breakfasts available today, and completely balls it up takes some skill.  Highly trained to be completely useless to man or beast.
Next was the "Full English" at the Holiday Inn at Stevenage.  Burnt, cold bacon, awful cold, cheap and nasty deep fried sausages, cold beans and scrambled egg that looked like something out of a 70's low budget sci-fi movie.  At least the plates were warm, so they managed to get at least one thing right in a pathetic insult of a meal at TWELVE QUID A GO!!!

  1. Hi there,

    You should try the breakfasts at Frankie & Bennys (google it) at 2 for £10 they are not only good value but in our experience always hot, fresh, tasty and good quality & quantity with endless tea or coffee too!

  2. I agree, I had a breakfast at F & B's in Gatwick airport just before I flew to Guernsey last year, and it was absolutely superb. Highly recommended!
