Don’t be ridiculous. Where would they get sunlight in England?

They’d steal it from the Irish, just like everything else.

I love a loaded breakfast, especially before working in the garage or hauling things around.

The hog penises definitely were cooked with sunlight.

This is not a full English due to the following issues or errors:
- Fried eggs are ideal, poached acceptable, and some oddballs like scrambled. Boiled egg is not acceptable. There should be two eggs as standard, more if the breakfast is a ‘large’.
- It’s missing baked beans that have simmered until the sauce thickens into a syrup.
- While cafes love to serve this kind of tomato that’s only because it’s easy to keep a pot of chopped, tinned tomatoes warm. If you’re going tinned, they should be good quality whole plum tomatoes. But well-grilled fresh tomatoes are acceptable. No cherries. No vine attached. Definitely no raw tomato.
- It’s missing the black pudding which elevates a fry-up into the full English.
- Fans of the full English almost all prefer cooked sausages over raw ones.
- The mushrooms look like they came in a tin. Ideally whole field or chestnut mushrooms shoud be used.
There is hearty debate amongst the governing body of the full English about whether or not hash browns are acceptable on a breakfast. Many declare them to be unwanted compared to, for example, bubble and squeak or a tattie scone, or even fried potatoes. They go further and label them ‘trash browns’, ‘American nonsense’, or just ‘shite’. Personally I don’t mind them, and consider them to be an optional addition, but not a core requirement of the full English. There are many other optional additions, not to mention regional specialities which render an Ulster fry very different to a full Welsh or a full Scottish. Hogs pudding, white pudding, fruit pudding, haggis, Lorne sausage, potato farl, soda bread, laverbread, kidneys, etc.
I am available for for keynote speeches on the subject should anyone be organising a full English conference.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I think that a full english isn’t an exclusionary meal. I think there are a few factors it needs to be in the category of full english but that there are many variations and additions or subtractions that still count.
In my opinion the only things required for a full english are any 4 of the following:
- fried eggs
- sausages
- bacon
- beans
- toast
Anything less is not “full” and anything more is a variation of the full english.
Hash browns? Sure! ulsterfry? Go for it! Mushrooms? Absolutely! Tomatoes (grilled of course) yes please! Black pudding (not for me) bring it on!
But there is no singular thing that makes it a full english, it just has to have enough of the core ingredients to meet the criteria.
Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
I tend to agree on that more flexible definition with a few core ingredients as baseline but it does seem to me that that core list needs to include at least one regional speciality item specific to the British Isles because I think that’s what the “full” part is really referring to as opposed to just a “fry up” as the other bloke suggested. I think in general in England that’s probably black pudding.
This thinking is because that minimum combination you listed is fairly common in a few places including Australia and while I don’t speak from experience, I think with the exception of the beans if wouldn’t be a totally strange or foreign combination in America either.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 months ago
What you describe is a mere fry-up. The required ingredients of a full English are eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, and tomato. Six perfect ingredients.
There’s nothing wrong with a fry-up, mind you. But it’s not a full English without the six.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
The black pudding doesn’t sound appetising. My grandma never made. We would have weetabix some mornings.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 months ago
It might not sound appetising but it tastes great. Try it sometime. And in a full English is where it’s best with a little egg, beans and tomato. Lush.
absentbird@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The lack of beans and black pudding is especially egregious. If England is giving up on free speech they could at least go after these faux english breakfast frauds.
blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
You definitely need the sausage to act as a breakwater
LorIps@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Considering the quality of the cooking points to it being committed by an American black pudding likely wasn’t available as it’s illegal in the United States.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 months ago
Are you sure?
Wikipedia tells me blood sausages are available in Puerto Rico (morcilla), Wisconsin, Maine, Michigan, the San Francisco Bay Area, Fresn, Santa Rosa, and of course, Cajun Louisiana.
balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 5 months ago
Should be illegal everywhere
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
A long time ago I was in old Blighty for the first time for work and the locals took care of me foodwise. I remember getting all the usual “English food is terrible” remarks before going and I didn’t know any better so I was worried when I arrived.
Everything was delicious, I loved all of it. The full English especially, that could power you through supper.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 months ago
You rarely have a full English followed by a heavy lunch. More often a heavy nap.

Cooked? Looks more like raw ingredients.
BCsven@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Was that /s ? You can see the cooking marks on the meats, potatoes are crispy, egg is obviously cooked, the tomatoes may have started out a whole tomatoes; you typically roast them in the oven till they are ready to pop open. But may canned tomatoes in this image.
skisnow@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Yeah this whole thread feels like either I’ve been dropped into a parallel universe or there’s something wrong with my monitor settings. Is it really that weird to not want your food totally blackened all over? The bacon and hash browns in particular look like they was taken out at exactly the right moment, just as they’re showing the first spots of browning. I wonder if maybe the details aren’t showing up clearly on mobile devices or something and people are reacting to that?
I’m not judging anyone who likes their food overcooked, but there’s no need to be a dick to people who like to taste the meat not the heat.
Klnsfw@lemmynsfw.com 5 months ago
That’s not cooking. That’s just exposing ingredients to heat.
EvenOdds@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
I don’t get it. Is the joke that this looks undercooked? This looks perfectly normally cooked to me, is it an American thing?
tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Mushrooms - straight out of the can. Sausage and bacon - raw / smoked. I don’t need to explain which color hash BROWNS should have usually right.
Not an American thing.
HarneyToker@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I definitely like my hashbrowns low and slow, not dry and crispy when I make them in the air fryer, and they come out like that color. Lightly crisped on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. They are just potatoes after all.
Everything else on that plate looks like ass.
PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
definitely undercooked, especially the sausages and hash browns

I see no problems with cooking meals with sunlight. (…as we say here in the solarpunk instance)
However, I do see the practical limitations what comes to attempting to cook meals with sunlight in the UK. I have heard the weather is often not favourable.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
i mean the thing with clouds is that they largely just scatter the sunlight, and i’m pretty sure i’ve seen a reflector design specifically for that situation which works remarkably well.
kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
You need a lot of mirrors and/or lenses to cook something using sunlight. Unless you’re in Arizona, then just stick your skillet out the window.
Dasus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah with good luck you could have enough energy, but… who’s gonna ever rely on the sun being available when you’re hungry?
Solar panels, sure, as they’re there all the time, and not just when youre hungry.
But solar cooking, yeah, not so much at these latitudes

Currently in London on vacation, can confirm that most of the items served to me in the full English breakfast I had were barely cooked, the corned beef was cold out of a can. Do not recommend.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Eww, out of the can?
knowone@slrpnk.net 5 months ago
I’m from the countryside in north of England and have lived in London at points for many years of my life. London is generally the worst for proper British food, in my experience. The best fry ups, fish and chips and all that you’re gunna get is in small towns or villages where the place itself is bare bones and no frills. Far cheaper too
That said, I’ll of course take most other cuisine over our own. I do like foods that require a good amount of seasoning and some actual spice. Our cuisine is really helped by those too as I see it. But most people here seem to draw the line at black pepper, sadly
then_three_more@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Wtf? Corned beef? Are you in one of the American cities that are named London rather than the capital of the uk?
deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
Nah, not enough high fructose corn syrup.
Killer57@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
I wish, the chip shops on the other hand have been great.
alberttcone@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Corned beef? What in Gods name would that be doing in a Full English? A proper Full English is served scalding hot on a plate that’s nearly glowing red. The egg is fried and has brown crispy bits, the bacon fat is browned but the meat is tender and the sausages are anything between brown and dark brown. The beans, well, if you aren’t mad you ask for it without those because they’re disgusting. The bread should be either toasted & buttered or fried in the bacon fat. Deranged people will add HP sauce or, heaven forbid, tomato ketchup, but it is best to offer such people pity and support in the hope that they will one day recover.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 months ago
The utter lack of seasoning make me think this is authentic.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The seasoning is the bacon grease this all cooks in. Besides salt and pepper for the egg, that’s generally all this needs.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 months ago
a worrying amount of people seem to only consider habanero peppers as flavourful, anything else is unseasoned
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
What sort of seasoning would you require on sausages or mushrooms…?
FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Salt on mushrooms, herbs on sausages.
BetaBlake@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I understand that the shrooms in a full English are usually just this way, but literally speaking you can season the shit out of mushrooms with all sorts of flavorings.
Senseless@feddit.org 5 months ago
Always can add some brown sauce.

Yeah, what is with that sausage? It looks absolutely disgusting.

Fried egg is more common, no idea why they did boiled
