What constitutes the perfect cooked breakfast?

Shiraz in Williamson Sq. 

2 fried eggs

3 bacon

2 sausages

Black pudding

Hash brown

Mushrooms

Tomato

Beans (of course)

2 toast

Mug of tea

 

One of my favourite breakfast spots this. Thick bacon, good sausages, eggs always done well, beans cooked so they're thick and there's plenty of them, tea is always good. 

 

£5.90 all in. 5/5 smashed the lot. 

 

 

 

Decent price and decent amount of food but that's as good as it gets

Eggs overdone

Black pudding a cremated sorry afterthought

Mushies pathetic

Sausages low quality pink mush 

Cheap shit bread and the beans.... AIDS

 

Looks like it was put together by a 10 year old with learning difficulties using nothing but the poorest ingredients. What a shame 3.8/10

As I promised to aRdja a few weeks ago, when I next do a British breakfast (I took the word 'great' out as it probably isn't, but it did taste good) here is photographic evidence of this breakfast...Notice the lack of toast as I normally grill bread in the oven and for some reason it wouldn't heat up. I think the oven is finally on the blink so minus points obviously for the lack of toast which would have been under the eggs.

 

4 x Reduced Fat Pork Sausages on first

5 x Smoked Bacon Medallions added next

2 x Organic Large Eggs fried next followed by

6 x Chestnut Mushrooms sliced in half added at the same time as

8 x small tomatoes sliced closely followed by

4 x thin slices of 'Wee (meaning small I hope) Black Pudding'

 

all purchased from Tesco...

Reduced fat sausages - which looked undercooked, cherry tomatoes are for salads, fried eggs joined together, medallions of bacon instead of rashers and black pudding, so small, that I needed a magnifying glass to identify it. Chestnut mushrooms are boss but yours look a big shitty. 0/10 Repped for no beans.

Bacon is underdone

Could have splashed some fat on the eggs

Could have done fried bread

Cherry tomatoes

No keys 

No conker

 

Obviously those are all minus points

 

The fact that you have served it on a shower curtain gains you back half a point

No beans gives you a little boost

 

Lash it all in the bin now and it is a 5.5/10

Sausages were well cooked inside which is the main thing. Cherry tomatoes are a versatile fruit and cooked to a nice texture here. Fried eggs were twins and I felt bad to separate them. First time I ever had black pudding, let alone cooked it. It's a small sausage in a pack so thin slices helped to ensure at least a positive first experience. Surprisingly tasty which I didn't expect. Mushrooms were nice too. Substance over style means at least 1 point surely?

It was smashed and banged in that order so no bin for it today. Maybe next time. Shower curtains are the done thing, don't you know?

My first real attempt at cooking it at myself. Bought all the ingredients at the butchers next door. That probably cost me less than £4. I acknowledge that there’s ample negative space as I didn’t have mushrooms or tomatoes in hand, also eggs over medium are not for everyone, however overall I was satisfied with the quality. I’m not sure I’m gonna make it a regular thing as I do enjoy eating out and trying new places (and sharing my experience with TLW). However, I might actually go and buy the ingredients and freeze them, for later consumption maybe on those real hungover Sundays, where I cba to leave the flat.

You need putting on a mental ward.

Far too much of a risk factor involved for my liking. If they look undercooked, there's a chance that they may actually be undercooked. If they look cooked, way less likely.

 I was taken for this breakie in Hawksmoor in London today. Glad I didn't pay £16.95! There was some toast with it too. It was pretty nice, home made hash browns and beans. Sausage was good, bacon smoked (I prefer unsmoked). Fucking 16.95 though. I'd give it an 8/10 for niceness, a 4/10 for value. 

[Mook]

Shitehawks more like it.

 

No mushrooms though so it gets a pass from me.

 

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Sausages look pretty good, to be fair.

Really taking the piss now mate, not nice.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Points awarded for the double egg, but then swiftly deducted again because it's soled and heeled.

 

Beans somehow look even more horrifying when splattered over the edge of the plate, like they've come out of the back of a passing seagull.

 

Decent sausages though.

 

The lack of symmetry on the plate upsets me. Most of these breakfasts have a presentational style that suggests a cook's cryptic cry for help.

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, deffo cooked by Tiny Rick.

I know making money is the name of the game, but I’d be embarrassed to charge £16.95 and not provide mushrooms, tomatoes and just the one slice of black pudding. I imagine it tasted nice (bar the beans, which, again, are a mingebag portion), but to charge almost 17 quid for that is daylight robbery.

It’s the minuscule black pudding that absolutely makes aRdja’s plate. A comic triumph 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

And no conker.

If someone charged me £17 for a fry up AND put fungus on it, I would kill their children in their sleep.

Womble's is one of the better looking efforts on here - but 17 notes make it a non starter.

Cannot review.
