What constitutes the perfect cooked breakfast?

£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.

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.

Not had much time to do the MF lately. Here's an old one from semi final day. I know it looks really bad (especially the eggs), but it was actually not bad, although I could only eat about half of it. It was 3 of bacon, egg, sausage, hash brown and white pudding with beans, tomatoes and toast for £8.95 in a pub on Euston road called the rocket - which is incredibly cheap for round there. It was called something like a mega Irish breakfast. Neg away, but I will be returning for a top up on the 14th with a decent pint of punk. A good way to start the day and perfect for a big day on the booze.

I more than lived. I managed about 10 pints before and after the game, including some belters in the mikeller pub at the end of the night. All the more reason to give it a go again.

The Rocket is a great boozer at the weekends post work.

Yeah, I like it there. Watched the match many times. Just shit service as they're trying to keep down costs to attract the students. Same in the sister pub The Court on Tottenham Court Road.

I don’t get it. Why have whoever opened the restaurant pretended that other people opened the restaurant? Proper weird.

Highwayman Cafe. On the A64, near York. On our way to Whitby to get smashed.

 

It’s my mates breakfast as I’m just having a bacon sandwich.

 

£7.95 for a regular, including toast and a mug of tea. 
 

He’s given it 7.5/10 but he’s a dopey fucker with zero taste.
