Same place? Action starts at around 5:05

 

The bloke is an absolute weapon though.

I had hoped for a lot more Indian influence but I guess the kind of twat who orders a full English at a decent Indian deserves that dirge. 

Somehow even worse ordering it as a veggie breakfast, all those great Indian veggie options and you asked for that. 

 

For shame.

 

At least you had enough beans.

Dishoom is brilliant. One of the best Indian restaurants in London.

Remmie, taking one for the team there. The Punjabi omelette definitely looks like the go-to dish on that breakfast menu my vegetarian friend.

 

Oddly enough, one of the nicest breakfasts I've had was in the hotel I stayed in when I went to Dubai. It was basically a masala dhosa but they'd made a mildly spiced omelette in place of the dhosa, so you had a potato and onion filling with various chutneys and sambhals to accompany it. I'm not particularly given to eating anything spicy for breakfast but that really hit the spot.

Could do with a bit more tomato 

[JagSquared]

£15 at the Riding House Cafe in Central London. 
 

black pudding and eggs were on point, toast unbuttered which should be a crime, bbq beans, sausage and bacon were nice but could have been cooked more. Random greens. 7/10 for the quality of ingredients.

A nice place of tomato and mushrooms for breakfast. 12 cans of beans on the side.

Must have been busy there this morning or perhaps the dishwasher had broken or, if the dishwasher is/was a person then perhaps they’ve become incapacitated due to eating one of his/her employers breakfasts. 
 

Whatever the reason, they’ve clearly had to rescue an old plate from the bin to serve your breakfast on. Luckily the breakfast was already on the plate, in the bin, saving time for all.

For that price, you'd think they'd at least clean the foliage off the plate after they've kicked your breakfast through the garden.

I love that place, though I always opt for a Mimosa and the Tuna Tartare as I'm a classy bastard.

When you said you wanted some chips on your plate as well.

I'm about to do something so treacherous and betrayal filled I feel dirty. I am going to order a breakfast with beans on them. Yep, you read correct. 

And thus thy fall hath left a kind of blot to mark the full-fraught man and best indued with some suspicion.
 

I will weep for thee; For this revolt of thine, methinks, is like another fall of man.

Oh the horror!! Breakfast number 1 this morning Frankie and Benny’s in John Lennon Airport. I’ve never seen the like of it. 
 

Breakfast number 2, En route to Newcastle on Saturday morning. Looks a lot better than it was and they forgot my black pudding. What an awful run of form

Woke up feeling a little blue this morning. Couldn’t quite put my finger on why, just one of those days I was telling myself.
 

Then I opened this thread and realised that the cause of my malaise is living in a world that tolerates breakfasts such as these. 
 

I’m off back to bed. Life is shit. 

[Mudface]

Fuck. No wonder Frankie & Benny's have shut so many restaurants down. Not enough though, clearly. 

[Bjornebye]

I’m hungover on a train to Chesterfield. A gang of Stockport fans have just got on at Piccadilly with a crate of Stella and won’t shut the fuck up. I’ve contemplated steaming in, going asleep in the bogs and choking myself with my own socks but nothing prepared me for that chips on a breakfast monstrosity. Yorkshire Red is right. Life is a bastard fuck you

They even had the temerity to expect you to eat it off the bathroom floor?

The single redeeming feature of the F&Bs breakfast is the colour of the plate.

I’ve watched a lot of porn in my life but nothing as depraved as that first picture. It will haunt me now.

Looks like a dog in season has been sat on it.

True - it reminds me of the flags in Rome ‘77.

 

I’ll up my score from -156/10 to -47/10.

If I was Frankie or Bennie I'd try to get my name removed from the business out of pure shame. Authentic Italian cuisine? They can't even make decent spaghetti hoops on toast.

Might be a bit problematic.

 

Quote

The brand's fictional backstory is that in 1924, at the age of 10, Frankie Giuliani left Sicily with his parents and moved to Little Italy in New York City.^[4] Within a year of moving, the family had opened a restaurant, everybody helping with the building and the cooking in equal measure. Frankie went to the nearby high school and became lifelong friends with Benny, already a third-generation American. In the story, the business was taken over by Frankie and Benny in 1953. It combines popular American foodwith traditional Italian dishes.^[5]

I know, I was shocked as well.
