Dunno if that Danny bloke had a load of videos stored up or whether he's just trying to cash in on his sudden popularity (or both), but he's released 14 videos in the last week.

Lets hope for his health he had a load in his locker

To be fair, this looks ace apart from the full loaf. The gimmick is exactly that, but it's just too much bread. But the sausages and bacon look well cooked, for a change, which is always my bugbear if i order a cooked brekky.

 

Not bothered about pancakes either.

 

I like this lad's videos, but i can't see him ever slagging anything off even if he genuinely didn't like it. He just seems too nice a guy.

Too true man - thread had gone a little Facebook here.

 

@aRdja moving has seen a drastic drop in quality. 

 

And quantity.

 

And cost.

I haven’t had a full English since I moved really. They don’t really do it here.

You're in Australia I think? What about blag ones, or do you value your health more than our entertainment?

A lot of the cafes serve hipster meals like smashed avocado. Some of them do “big breakfast” but not quite the same, as black pudding is a real niche product here, and no one eats beans. You could try get it made to order but it’d end up being very expensive... Let’s use this very popular cafe not far from where I used to live as a case study.

First you pick “Specialty free range eggs” from the breakfast menu, and that’ll already cost you $11

 

Then you add the sides;

+$5 for Sausage 

+$7 for Jamon (the closest thing to bacon)

+$6 for Mushrooms and blistered trus tomatoes


So that meal would end up costing you $29 (£16) and it’d probably be tasty but not really proper full english.

I can believe that. Thats why Rolf had to come over here to be a nonce.

To be fair, it sounds like London... 

 

Yeah, not really worth doing. It's no wonder we punished people by sending them there. All those filthy bean deniers rowing their way to the beat of a 57 Varieties drum.

Robbing bastards, well I suppose it's in their DNA.

That makes sense. I arrived in the UK a bean hater in 2015, and throughout my full english breakfast journey I ended up liking the thing. I haven’t had it since I moved back though.

Daylight. For 1 sausage, 2 eggs, a piece of toast, maybe 2 slices of jamon but probably just one, and some tomatoes and mushrooms.

I know your portions were always pretty small for 25 quid or whatever but 1 solitary bean is just taking the piss.

Jamon? Sorry mate, are you suggesting that Aussies don't eat bacon? Strewth cobber, chuck me a jamon sanger.

 

I'm calling shenanigans on that. Besides which, bacon is clearly mentioned several times on that menu you linked to.

Of course they do. This particular cafe doesn’t offer it as a side though, unless I’m blind.
