Traditional Britiash Breakfast

[ebee]

When did the Hash Brown ever become part of the Traditional British Breakfast?
Never!
Never heard of it years ago.
Where did it come from? USA?
Well we never heard of it back in our childhoods and our parents and grandparents didni either!

You can't beat a tradition British breakfast of a bowl of marrow bones in gravy!

The cafe I go to doesn’t have them on any breakfast. But some have bubble and squeak

By the late ‘90s, the English breakfast had been degraded into something cheap, fried, and served with non-traditional fillers like chips or hash browns. Even worse, British farmers and butchers were increasingly excluded from the tradition in favour of cheaper imported meats.

As quality was sacrificed for profit margins, the regional variety of the British breakfast was lost. During this period, the composition of the breakfast became increasingly uniform across the country, as globalised supply chains made imported ingredients more common and rendered some traditional regional variations less widely available, altering the plate’s relationship with farming and local sourcing.

Yes, very traditional old school greasy spoon I used to go to years ago in Bristol had bubble and squeak on the plate. Cafe is now closed, and never seen it on any other full English. My large Spoons breakfast on Thursday came complete with 3 hash browns. Oh, and a pint of Thatchers - goes so well with the breakfast. Well, it was getting towards midday.

There used to be a good cafe in Bristol centre. Up some steps and behind a Main Street iirc.

I don’t mind a fry up and a pint or two for lunch.

One I was thinking of was called York Cafe in Clifton. Breakfast time the road outside was lined with bulders vans and the cafe was really busy. Huge plates of cholesterol and mugs of builders tea. Just as it should be.

We've just been deciding what to do for dinner, later today. One idea I put forward was a little café, in the next town, which usually serves a school type steak pie, with mash or chips, cabbage, carrots, cauli, and gravy, all homemade, and absolutely delish. The place itself, you wouldn't give a second glance to, but the food they serve is some of the very best you can get in any restaurant. However, I once decided to have a Christmas dinner there, and it was absolutely horrible, never again.

Yes But whether you love it or loathe it. The pont is that it was never part of the "Traditional British Breakfast"!. Can not be a tradition because of the relative short time its been included.
That is the point.
It is a missnomer.

Sauce with bacon should be brown, like HP for example, never tomato ketchup.
Tomato ketchup is wonderfull on loads of things but not a bacony egg thingy!

I enjoy tomato ketchup on a bacon butty.

I enjoy tomato ketchup on a bacon butty.just is not allowed.

That Sir, is a travisty!

Next you will be suggesting that pineapple (a lovely fruit) is acceptable on a pizza or that curry/gravy is allowed on fish and chips.
It is just "Not Cricket"

This winds me up, people putting sauce of any colour on an English breakfast. Tomato sauce is for chips, and chips alone, brown sauce is devil's arse dribble. Another thing that defeats me is people putting salt and pepper on a meal before even tasting, why? It's an insult to the chef/cook, like your saying the food they prepared is tasteless.

 

[ebee]

I do agree with you that it appauls me that folk put salt on stuff before they have even tasted it.
One bloke I knew put salt on bacon, usually some of the most salty stuff around!

PS - I rarely but sometimes put sauce (brown only) on bacon.

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