How to Make Breakfast Like a Brit - Anglophenia Ep 32

Cook the bacon first, then the eggs in the bacon grease.

American: “As long as it's sugary.” British: “As long as it's greasy.” Italian: “Cappuccino and maybe a cookie.” French: “Coffee and cigarettes.”

Can you cook the eggs without browning the edges? I once had a British wife, (rest her soul) who could not. She called those egg edges "frilly." I never complained. Now I am glad. And would give a lot for her frilly eggs again. Be grateful. You never know when you will lose someone precious. Michael, From rural California.

The woman: Let me know what you think... Me: Where the hell are the hash browns

The full English breakfast is the perfect place to show off your sausage

Your breakfast is like what I eat in a DAY!

Or you could do it like me: Cereal, milk Boom

I once ate English breakfast and since then I've never been hungry again. One breakfast lasts a lifetime😂😂😂 In Spain we also have black pudding (morcilla) and it's made with spices, pig blood, rice or onion. The onion one is the tastiest. :D

"In the north of England grilled oatcakes are popular" I live in the north and have traveled a lot. I have not once seen or heard of oatcakes on a fry up and I can't imagine it would be nice.

I am was born in England. I have lived in America for the last 23 years. The first thing I do when I land in London is head to the rental car office, jump into a car and head to the nearest service center and head straight to the breakfast area and order me a full English breakfast. Later that day I find a good Fish n' Chip shop and order me real Fish and real chips.

It's 2022 and just like in 2020, 2019 and maybe 2017 too, I miss Anglophenia, both with Kate Arnell and Siobhan Thompson.

Why isn’t she posting anymore? Hope she’s doing well

The presenter lady is hypnotizingly pretty.

I don't think my belly can handle baked beans that early in the day. Especially not along side coffee, such would be declared a biological weapon by the Geneva Convention

I love a proper fry up! I've never been able to get my tomatoes to turn out quite the same. There's one difference that was not mentioned between fried breakfasts in Canada and the US vs. the proper English, Welsh and Scottish fry-ups I've eaten that stood out to me as noteworthy, and that is the attitude toward toast. Did you see (2:29) when the butter was being scraped over the toast? There's every chance that the butter will still be unmelted when that toast is eaten because keeping the toast crispy and crunchy is generally more important in the UK than temperature, and warmish toast is completely acceptable (maybe desirable?). North Americans, on the whole, are way more invested in temperature (particularly such that the butter melts on contact and becomes absorbed into the toast). Often, N.A. toast comes already buttered to ensure the melting occurs and may be stacked directly on top of each other, creating a heat pocket for staying warm and further melting the butter. This often makes North American toast crispy in places and soft in places, whereas some UK places will bring the toast out unbuttered on a rack that keeps the pieces perfectly separated, noticeably crispy and dry. I've been at UK B&B's with Canadian friends who would wait for the toast to come out each morning, butter knife in hand, so that they could scrape butter across their toast as quickly as possible in the hope that it would still melt through using the residual heat. No one anywhere wants toast that is soggy or that is cold, but I'd say the favouring of crispy toast over hot toast is as defining a characteristic as the blood pudding and those amazing tomatoes and mushrooms.

Love your sense f humor. Start the day with a hearty breakfast and a laugh!

It reminds me of the last day of my stay of London, which was really memorable because my host mother made lovely English breakfast for me on that day. This dish is absolutely wonderful.

It has to be Heinz.

What a tasty looking dish, and the breakfast looks good too!

Looks scrumptious!
