Traditional Britiash Breakfast

[pete01]

Hash brown on a breakfast

Brown sauce on a bacon sandwich

Pineapple on a pizza

Curry sauce on fish and chips

All very nice.

Bubble and squeek fried with lard and black pudding thats traditional not hash brown's American sh$t like maple syrup on waffles with cream, disgusting.

But I never put anything on anything before tasting anyways (except salt on chips).

We don't even put salt on the table. We might bend a little if a guest asks for it.

Our local Turkish cafe has a full British breakfast with Hash browns.

I complained that it wasnt a traditional British breakfast. I was quickly Hashed away before I made scene. I said that they where having a bubble and they wouldn't get away with it.

You say you bend a little. How do you bend a little?
Do they get salt or not?

Same here. Black pepper only although do I use salt for cooking, it’s rarely on the table but I might have some salt on my poached or scrambled eggs at breakfast time.

My dad on the other hand, would put so much salt on his meals that you could actually see where his plate had been when you cleared the table - there was a clear, salt free plate shaped circle on the tablecloth!

The slugs in my garden dont like salt either.

That's me, when I use salt too! I can take it or leave it. My dad was a great one for putting salt on, whereas I never bothered, until I asked him why he used salt, and the answer was, your body must have some salt. Now put some on, when I remember, but most of it bounces off the plate, to leave a ring of salt, on the table.

Salt, I must have, with boiled eggs, and strangely walnuts - I like 'em, and dip in salt.

an egg on its own needs a little salt but on a bacon egg sandwich there already more than enough in the bacon anyway so no salt added.

your dad was right bout needing salt yes but usually we have more than enough, in really hot countries and drinking a lot of water you might actually need a little salt now and then.
But most of us here reall overdo the salt anyway.

A dyrololite type mix if you need it contains water and a bit of sugar and a bit of salt, but only a bit - I think its about 1/2 + 4 teasspoons to each pint (or litre ?) of water and stir it then sip some every now and then till sickness and dihorea subsides, check on google etc for the amounts but you can make it yerself without going to the expense of the local chemist and its almost as good for you but not as flavoured.

Full English has to have fried bread or at least toast, not hash browns and black pudding is also a must.

Black pudding - I have become somewhat an expert on, wherever I am out and about I will buy some to try.
Has anyone had raw black pudding. Not eat raw but all black pudding is pre cooked and I found some that you cooked your self from raw.

Very little salt is required.

If you a dehydrated from d&v

"1L water, ½ tsp (3 g) of table salt, and 2 tbsp (25 g) of sugar."

If you are not dehydrated you are likely to have more than enough from a few slices of bread and butter.

Prepackaged foods in UK went low-salt years ago, resulting in a noticeable drop in cases of high blood pressure and heart disease.

When my mum used to work in Tate & Lyles (the sugar place) years ago, I remember her telling me that when it was really hot in the processing plant, they used to be issued with salt tablets!

I don't think I've had a really great black pudding since I was a child.
