There are no points available for guessing which of these two breakfast offerings is mine - it's the paltry looking bowl of cereal, obviously.The full English is often seen as the epitome of breakfast cuisine - a couple of eggs, bacon, sausage, perhaps mushrooms, black pudding, baked beans and hash browns in more upmarket establishments, finished off with toast and marmalade. These offerings always seem so much more generous than the French or German versions with their emphasis on croissants, hard bread and cold meats.
But you soon realise when you venture out in Western Canada that we Brits are not playing in the same league. Just look at this plateful! Salivation City! If ever there was a reason to get out of bed in the morning, this is it.
Healthy? Shouldn't think so for one minute. Just keep riding the bike and taking the statins.
(Equally impressive breakfasts available in Australia & NZ - I've not tried the USA so I can't comment)

A meal for a healthy appetite, if not exactly a healthy meal!!
Indeed. Would be interesting to see what happened if you ate a breakfast of this type every day (probably a fairly short-lived experiment).
Lee - where abouts in Scotland - I'll travel miles for a good breakfast.
the u.s. has various regional equivalents to this sort of breakfast... the worst of which may be hash covered with sunnyside up eggs accompanied by biscuits and gravy. (no, i've never tried it, so i guess i shouldn't knock it) this morning, think i'll stick with my raisin bran and 2% milk.
Hi Snowsparkle. I'd like to say that sounds like heaven but I'm not sure - biscuits? Gravy? To be honest I'm an oats & bran man when at home. Not sure if 2% milk is the same as our skimmed or semi-skimmed - I have the latter.
i think easy over = whites mostly cooked but still a little runny and yolks very liquid.
Oh. Biscuits and gravy. Not a beef gravy, of course, but that white country gravy that is just flour and butter and pepper and milk, all hot and bubbly, maybe even with sausage bits in it, over fluffy hot biscuits. It sounded like the oddest thing imaginable to me when I first came across it down here and I was quite skeptical at first, but now. Now, I have dreams about biscuits and gravy.
