Well, you will have to teach me to tell the two apart, I think. My experience was a Weatherspoon's full English breakfast, so you're probably right that I did not have a proper black pudding.
Some supermarkets and catering establishments provide mass-produced and, in my very humble opinion, inferior quality black pudding. You may find that local butchers offer a better product and they often vary from region to region too.
Many years ago a friend of mine, who loved her food, decided to become a vegetarian. Mostly she managed well, but said that there was no veggie substitute for bacon and it was the most difficult to give up!
I have often seen the phrase "full English" when I have been reading blogs, but never realized how much food that really is! How does one person finish it all! Wow!
I trust that you pointed out to the proprietor his/her apostrophe misuse on the chalkboard! That would put me off my "Full English". (Extras: NOT Extra's)
Oh yes I know. That error always leaps out at me. Embarrassingly, P did point it out and then proceeded to rub off the offending apostrophe. I'm sure we shall be welcome back there again.
Haven't been able to comment on your blog or the Northsider's. I have to fire up the big old desk computer and somehow it's all go. Love the vegetarian who eats bacon. Bacon and sausage are not meat so I can scoff those and I certainly would if I had that breakfast in front of me. Sometimes meatballs are included in the vegetarian list too. The smell of frying meatballs can overcome my not so dedicated conscience
Although I am quite used to talking to myself, any comments on my posts are very welcome, provided they are not abusive. I do reply to them so please check back. It's good to talk (!)
Omit the black pudding and count me in.
ReplyDeleteI'll have your black pudding if you have my beans.
DeleteI was led to believe that it was mandatory that a tourist try black pudding. I did my duty. I tried it. Not a fan.
DeleteDebby, there is black pudding and then proper black pudding. You need to choose wisely!

DeleteWhy not a Full Manx or a Full Irish? I would eat it all apart from the Hash Browns. You're making me hungry JayCee.🥩☕
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I am not hungry now, just stuffed.
DeleteEggs, beans and toast please. The rest is animal. Well, I know eggs are animal too, but as I keep telling people, chickens are vegetables.
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to say that she was a vegetarian but she still ate bacon sandwiches. When challenged she said, Well bacon is not real meat is it!

ReplyDeleteI only had a small breakfast, but I have seen plenty that manage to get through the Full English with no problem.
DeleteSeems pretty reasonable. I expect it would ward off the hunger pangs for the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteWell, almost. I did succumb to an ice cream later.

ReplyDeleteMaybe "Extra" owns the BACON/SAUSAGE?????

Ha-ha! Good Old Lord Peregrine! A man after my own petty heart.
DeleteI notice that half the "large" breakfast is not half the price!!
ReplyDeleteWell spotted! I suppose they don't use half the gas/electricity to cook it though. Still....
DeleteIt looks like one of those "all you can eat" breakfasts!
ReplyDeleteIt would be more than I could eat.

ReplyDeleteI was beginning to think that it was because my blog posts were so boring.
DeleteThe smell of bacon cooking always makes me feel hungry. Irresistible.
Cheap at the price. I would have invested too!
ReplyDeleteAnd no washing up to do.
