Deeply unmemorable vegetarian breakfast for £8. Comes with pot of tea or coffee (not pictured). I ate everything except the uncooked tomato, which is an inexcusable addition to a cooked breakfast. Toast was dry, even with two sachets of butter. The rest was okay. I'd prefer chopped mushrooms to one big one, another indication of laziness on the behalf of the proprietor. 

I like that they have left you some skunk on the tomatoes so you get the appetite up to eat it

I’m finishing up work on Tuesday, going to travel for a bit, before heading to Aus (via a few stops) after Christmas. So we went out for breakfast near the office yesterday. The restaurant is smack bang in central London, hence the high pp. However, it was an excellent plate, and it left me full for the rest of the day.

 

Venue: Coq D’Argent, in Bank

Price: £15

Ingredients:

2 x fried eggs

1 x sausage

3 x bacon

1 x black pudding

1 x potato rosti

tomato

mushroom

beans

 

Verdict: Really good, real tasty. Sausage had very high meat content, the black pudding was excellent, had a cakey texture. Rosti was a worthy addition to plate; added a bit of crunch to it. Beans were expertly done; rich, thick and not sickly sweet. I’m a fan of streaky bacon... but I understand that it’s not the most popular food item in this forum.

That’s not streaky bacon, that’s a fucking biopsy a vet’s taken from a sick pig.

Not true mate -- a portobello is a far better piece of food than some chopped white mushrooms out of a tin.

Eggs over hard and extra scallion please.

 

 

Hopefully they do not have facial recognition in Australia

Chestnut mushrooms are boss.

Who the fuck eats mushrooms out of a tin? We're not quite living in a post apocalyptic dystopia yet.

If an establishment serves tomatoes out of a tin w a breakfast you can be sure the mushrooms are too.

Plum tomatoes on a breakfast knock me sick. Can't be doing with the texture. 

 

Pretty sure fresh mushies are both cheaper and easier than tinned. 

[Bjornebye]

I've never even heard of mushrooms from a tin. Where do you live Howie? The Road?

The USA. 

 

Probably chloronate them before tinning the fuckers.

I don't mind tinned tomatoes. Obviously use chopped in food all the time. 

 

My mum is the worst cook in the history of mankind (Yes even worse than aRdjas missus). Once when I was a kid, she cooked me and my dad a fry-up before we went the match (they split up not long after) My dad wasn't best pleased that she was cooking it but told me to just grin and bear it. Anyway my dad cut into his plummet tomato and it had ice in the middle. It had been in a tin, in the cupboard. She had it in a pan and everything. My Dad said just eat it we will laugh about it when we leave. 

 

Anyway he told me years later that stuff like that used to happen all the time and he either mentioned it and caused an argument or ate it and risked dying. When they split up I stayed living with my Dad and one Christmas she offered to make me and my Brother Christmas dinner. I told her if she asked again I'd phone childline. And I was serious.

The mushroom capital of the world is in the US -- everyone knows that.

 

There is nothing cheaper - or easier - than cutting a fresh tomato in half and sticking it on the griddle so....

Well no the mushroom (bomb) capital of the world is Hiroshima thanks to America.

 

I use fresh grilled tomato on breakfasts myself like. I used tinned for bolognese, certain curry etc. 

 

People who eat tinned mushrooms are the same scruffy gets who would eat this

 

 

 

[Tony Moanero]

I don’t mind whole tinned tomatoes a component of a cooked breakfast, I mop the juice up with toast, but prefer grilled or fried. Tinned mushrooms are vile, though. Some mingebag cafes, places that serve chippy-style sausages, definitely use them.
