Baked beans are perfectly proper as far as I'm concerned. Preferably
ones that have been simmering away so long that they've turned into a
kind of orange porridge. Hash browns I agree are an American perversion,
but will sheepishly admit to having been won over. Wouldn't cook 'em
myself, but always add them on the rare occasions that I indulge in a
canteen fry-up at work.

And does anyone eat that half a tomato?

No. In a small caff I always tell them I don't want it - no point
wasting it. In more industrial places, a non-standard breakfast is more
hassle for them so I don't bother. Tinned tomatoes I try to avoid at all
costs - horrible things on a breakfast.

Nah, Scrap that...

Nothing gets the metabolism going faster than a good curry... and the

For some of us, breakfast time is the worst time of day to be eating

Really? Surely you just dip a slice of stale bread in the deep fat frier
to soak it in fat and chuck it on the griddle that you're frying the
egg, bacon and soss on?

Not many caffs use fat these days. Clogs the injectors. ;-)

We don't do deep fat fryers in our caff. Makes a huge difference to the
insurance. Most of our food is salad based, with jacket spuds, quiches,
chilli and rice, club sarnies, that sort of thing. Only place we have heat
and oil is a single frying pan for the fried eggs, which take but a minute

Political food correctness has not reached parts of Ludlow as I had

FWIW, when I 'do' a Full English at home, it consists of egg (fried duck
eggs,
with a cover on the pan so the tops cook without setting the yolks), bacon
(local farm free range organic Large Blacks, rind cut off, leaving as much
of
the fat as possible, then grilled until the fat is crispy and light
brown),
sausages (same farm shop as the bacon, cooked slowly until dark brown and
crispy
on the outside - put these on first), black pudding and (ta-da) baked
beans. If
I have any left-over boiled potaties in the 'frig, I fry those up, else
fried
bread or hash browns. No mushrooms, 'cos they give me the squits.

I had a very satisfactory egg, bacon and sausage in a bap at the racing
(*)
yesterday. Although I suspect the nice-ness is largely down to eating it
out of
doors at 8:30, having risen at 04:45 to get there for 07:30.

Fancy finding somewhere that will still sell you bacon with the rind on, and
then cutting it OFF !! Sacriledge ! That used to be the best part of bacon

Nah! The egg has to go on the fried bread.

Gipsey toast....

Cut a hole in the centre of the bread big enough for the yolk. Fry the
bread then drop the egg in the pan, now put the fried bread on top -
yolk visible through the hole. When the egg bottom is done, flip in
over to do top if you like all the white cooked.

Grapefruit also raises post-coffee caffeine levels in the bloodstream,
so is something to be careful (or reckless) with!!

From the site linked above:

"10 subjects with normal blood pressure were given caffeine 3.3 mg/kg
with either water or GJ in a crossover study design. 6 subjects also
participated in receiving multiple GJ doses with caffeine. Twelve-hour
ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed on all subjects. The
AUC of caffeine with either of the GJ schedules was not significantly
different from the caffeine AUC when given with water. No significant
differences in systolic or diastolic blood pressure, heart rate or
percentage of time with diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg
was observed. The authors concluded that GJ had no effect on caffeine
pharmacokinetics or hemodynamic effects. Caffeine, like theophylline
is mainly metabolized by the CYP 1A2 isoenzymes, while CYP 3A4 may be
responsible for some minor amount of additional metabolism. There was
considerable intersubject variability in this study.39 A previous study
had reported a 28% increase in AUC when caffeine was given with GJ,
though a slightly different methodology was used."
