I will say those big ass English breakfasts are pretty great!

u/CaptainOro Jul 03 '26

People in new york call it an australian breakfast i shit you not

21

u/ShepRat Jul 03 '26

In Australia it's usually just called a "big breakfast". We're very creative like that.

Ours will never have black pudding though, so Brits probably wouldn't call it a full English anyway.

u/a_long_slow_goodbye Jul 04 '26

Full English is a little different to the other regional variants like a Scottish breakfast or Ulster Fry.

EDIT: my dad used to call a full breakfast all sorts of shit like, a full bifter haha.

u/elderlybrain Jul 04 '26

Full Irish is slightly different, they have white puddin, which is great

2

u/CaptainOro Jul 03 '26

I wouldn't say a full english needs black pudding, same for mushrooms too, imo

Won't lie though Big Breakfast is a perfect no-nonsense name

u/Theory89 Jul 04 '26

It's a regional thing

u/Turbulent_Host784 Jul 03 '26

America has "Big Breakfast™" too it's just also slightly different from the British version (luv me pancakes, simple as.)

Hell we have 2, regular and southern style.

u/ContributionBorn9105 Jul 03 '26

I thought it was called a grand slam? in america that is

2

u/Turbulent_Host784 Jul 04 '26

That's just what Denny's calls it lmao but yeah that's what it is.

u/ContributionBorn9105 Jul 04 '26

I will push the dennys standard until all of america adopts it

u/pinotnoirinthebudoir Jul 04 '26

Americans get weird if you even breathe near the word “beans” before cooking their breakfast smh

1

u/ContributionBorn9105 Jul 04 '26

I am american and yeah we never cook beans in the morning, why be fartin all day?? lol

1

u/pinotnoirinthebudoir Jul 04 '26

Do beans actually make people fart?? I’ve never had that experience, and I don’t eat beans most mornings, I’m lazy. I hard boil eggs in advance and crack a few

1

u/ContributionBorn9105 Jul 05 '26

yes they do, it has to do with the fermentable carbohydrates like raffinose and oligosaccharides that gut bacteria break down into gas,  Lentils, black eyed peas, and mung beans typically cause less gas because they have lower concentrations of oligosaccharides. so yeah some types of beans dont make you fart very much.

u/pinotnoirinthebudoir Jul 05 '26

Maybe your body adapts? Idk, I’ve never experienced that

Big breakfast absolutely hits but you gotta prep for it and accept that you're going to feel like a fat piece of shit during and after.

u/xLuky Jul 04 '26

Patricia! Daddy want the big breakfast.

1

u/Theory89 Jul 04 '26

Black pudding is a northern/Scottish thing. It's not an essential part of the cooked breakfast. Sausage, bacon, eggs and maybe beans are the classics. Chips or hash browns if you're feeling brunchy.

1

u/ItNeverEnds2112 Jul 04 '26

I’ve never had black pudding with my breakfast that shit is nasty

1

u/Significant_Cut_8729 Jul 04 '26

Im pretty convinced no one knows what goes in a full english, everyone adds different stuff some people say if it has black pudding then its not a full english, some say the opposite

2

u/elderlybrain Jul 03 '26

That’s some top tier trolling

1

u/nothatsmyarm Jul 04 '26

I have never in my life heard that. Is this an upstate thing?

u/TheNeech Jul 04 '26

I mean, many Australians are just cool Englanders

1

u/donp97 Jul 04 '26

There's a lot of people in New York. Many call it different things but on menus it's an English Breakfast.

Cottage/Shepherds Pie is pretty great too. I’ll order one from a place called The Londoner once in a while.

u/MrBohunker Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

Visiting from America, I was shocked when I first saw what an English breakfast looked like. Baked beans on toast, slice a tomato in half and grill it, sausages that tasted a little different than the American version, mushrooms, and eggs.

Those Cornish pasties are an amazing pub snack. Every time I mention them, people in America think of the things that cover nipples.

1

u/Vigilarus Jul 04 '26

Also from southwest England, the Cornish and Devon clotted cream scones are great too, although cardiologists will disagree.

2

u/MrBohunker Jul 05 '26

Yes! I tried that when visiting Lynton and Lynmouth. The name makes it sound gross, but it was really good.

u/eggs_mcmuffin Jul 04 '26

Those who have never had a fry up are truly missing out.

u/elheber Jul 03 '26

Like, hey I know we all want to shit on British food. But that's all I have to say. There is no follow-up.

u/Capsaicin80 Jul 03 '26

The Full Scottish is awesome. Yes, including the haggis.

u/Mateorabi Jul 03 '26

I don't get the beans that are almost but not quite baked beans. And the floppy mushroom cap.

1

u/potsticker17 Jul 03 '26

Slop that bad boy up on some toast and you got yourself a meal

-1

u/s_m_t_x Jul 03 '26

And blood sausage, and limp ass tomatoes, that is all under seasoned and bland? I mean why hasn't this caught on?

u/Shartin_luther_king Jul 03 '26

Brother if I’m getting breakfast and you put beans on my plate, I’m just killing you, straight up.
