That looked a cracking breakfast from finchie there. Unlike this I had this morning from a beach side cafe in Anglesey, I'd post the name and location, but I don't know it!

 

The sausage was very nice, the bacon better than it looked. But the toast was hard, the egg yolk not even a bit runny and the black pudding very dried out (although it would have been nice I think if cooked properly). It was £7.50 with orange juice included. The coffee was extra. It was no more than a 4/10 for me and only really gets that because the sausage was really good.

You can tell when a chef has stopped giving a fuck.

My brekkie yesterday was a big disappointment. I had to pay extra for black pudding so wasn’t also gonna pay extra for beans and though actually fancy tomatoes more for a change.

 

black pudding was easily the best bit of the brekkie.

 

sausages were skinny type, which I do like, but so over cooked they were almost inedible.

 

tomatoes were slices salad tomatoes, cooked in a fashion that was unclear, with tomatoe juice/water running all over the plate.

 

my missus opted for the beans extra.

 

between our two brekkies and two large coffees it came in at £23.

 

abject disappointment all round

Rule #1. Never ever go to Lifeys for a fry up.

Venue: Cafe Provencal, Herne Hill

Price: £9.75

Ingredients: 3 x bacon, 2 x cumberland sausage, 2 x poached eggs, 1 x black pudding, 1 serving of beans

Verdict: 8.5/10. Everything on the plate was tasty. The bacon was especially tasty, cooked to perfection.

Deduct one mark for each of the following transgressions: chives on the egg, rogue chive escaped into the beans, the beans themselves, rogue chive on the lightly charred bread, lightly charred bread looks cold so that butter would not melt properly, the inconvenience of having to butter the lightly charred bread and first removing it from under the egg.

 

4/10

Negged for calling it toast.

Just done me and the mrs a cooked breakfast for tea, been on the allotment all day and was starving. Mrs asked why I was taking a photo, told her it was so I could be abused by strange men off the internet. 

No conker & car keys though and mug of tea and HP sauce already on the table. 

Here you go...

That's not Cumberland sausage. 

 

The best Cumberland sausage I've ever had comes from a butchers called Muholland's in Great Orton.

A pink shoe horn is a novel approach. Where is this egg you speak of, I can only see the heel of some white crocs that looks like its been phlegmed on with some weed sprinkled on top. Stale bread is also a weird addition, looks drier than a nun's cunt. No beans is a bonus, though the strange red soup with battered shit pellets doesn't tempt me. Finally where dem keys?

I’d eat that for sure. Miles better than some of your previous offerings and the less said about the one you cooked yourself the better. 

 

It’s just a shame that they shit out of putting the beans on the plate properly. They’d have gone perfectly into the gap beneath the sausages.

Add mushrooms and tomatoes and swap the warm bread for some proper toast and that would be a very nice brekkie. Beans in the bin, obviously. As things stand, 6/10.
