A Full English breakfast consists
of a good old fry-up of eggs, bacon, sausages and beans. Being one of the best
loved meals in the world, English breakfast quite marks Britain’s cultural
hegemony more than a full-blown fry-up.
It’s
as popular as ever
I don’t think it will ever fall
out of favor. It’s the absolute staple – there is still high demand for it on a
daily basis. We are still stickler for tradition in spite the trend towards
healthier and more fashionable breakfast alternatives. According to recent
statistics eggs and bacon are on the rise.
It’s
an ancient British tradition
“The idea of the English
breakfast as a national dish goes right back to the 13th century and the
country houses of the gentry”, explains Guise Bule, chairman of the English
Breakfast Society. He has spent a lot of time in researching the first meal of
the day. Households would provide hearty breakfasts for visiting friends,
relatives and neighbors.
It’s
a showcase of magnificent British food
One of the food anthropologists
explains that a decadent breakfast was an ideal that people aspired to.
Becoming a precursor of the day’s haunting or shooting with fine hams or
excellent cheeses, smoked fish or rich cream, written in a book called ‘The
English Breakfast’.
It’s
moved with the times
Full English breakfast compared
with modern-day fry-ups actually resemblance to bore little. Victorian working
classes adopted bacon and eggs as a staple and the ingredients became
standardized. The workers with breakfast and a cup of tea and toast have energy
and with full stomach needed to sustain them through a day of grueling manual
labor.
You
can tweak it any way you like
A full English breakfast should
include sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast. If you want to
dip things in, add tomato ketchup. In general brown sauce is more divisive and
more widely acceptable making the best breakfast in london.
An
ultimate showcase for the brilliant British banger…
Quality meat is the key
ingredient in traditional breakfast which is agreed by all of the chefs. There
are many fantastic variety of sausages provided in the country and each of
which have their own distinct flavor. Pork should be minced finely, mixed with
breadcrumbs and contain plenty of dried herbs which is the most important
thing.
Bacon
and eggs, no matter how you prefer them
According to English Breakfast
Society ‘back is best’ for bacon, it needs to be sliced properly, so that the
rashers include belly and loin. For the eggs either fried or poached is fine as
long they’re beautifully cooked and slightly runny. For getting them just right
everyone have their own tricks. They’re really nice and tasty as the eggs get
fried in butter but olive oil is used now-a-days making it crispy round the
edges and looks great on plate.
It’s
pretty much the only chance you ever get to eat black pudding
The mere inclusion of black
pudding is equally contentious. One can find a huge gulf between a good black
pudding and a terrible one. There is a huge demand for black pudding at
breakfast. Most of the customers like to have it in their breakfast.
The
regional versions are different, interesting and just as good
Breakfast in Irish have white
pudding and American with hash brown. best breakfast in london often include and haggis and
tattie scones Sublime.
And
finally, it’s always the right time for a fry-up
If you are starting to drool and
feel hungry, you are made of sterner stuff than us! Bring home the bacon as
it’s the time to slip on an apron, whip out the frying pan.
