Manc sites must be really shit if they are trawling breakfast threads on here. 

 

The sister fingering blert is that thick he thinks he's on RAWK. 

Mate, you’d struggle to find a better Full English Breakfast review thread anywhere I reckon. Especially with instant feedback from (self-proclaimed) experts.

Let's talk about six rashers of bacon.

This is a Manchester breakfast

The "John Squire".  Just needs a lemon in the middle.

Obviously found in a bin near the Canal.

Well I've hit the jackpot this morning. Unfortunately it was in Southport, but it was worth the visit and I'll be back for breakfast. 

 

Where: Lords Cafe Bar, Lord Street Southport. 

Cost: £7.75 for the "Big Platter Breakfast". Extra : hash browns @ 85p

 

In terms of quality, everything on the plate was good quality food and cooked perfectly. I'm struggling with what to complain about... And about the best I can come up with is there was only white pepper and no black and I do love my black pepper. Maybe they could make their own hash browns rather than frozen, but they were really nice as it was. I am picking as I don't want to give a 10/10. Where is there to go from there?   9.5/10

Looks great Barry. How many rashers of bacon and how many sausages did you get? What’s that yellow sauce?

[Trumo]

They need a bigger toaster.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

The two sausages look small, although that could be due to the camera angle. Eggs done well, as is the tomato.

Cumberland, innit?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Looks a little dry to me.

I wouldn't have a clue, mate.

Oh, oh, looks a "little" dry does it?  You don't think, perhaps, that the moisture is contained within the food and that something is lost in translation between the camera lens and reality?   That the butter and eggs will up the moisture content once the eating begins in earnest?  Noooooooooo, Babb's says it looks a bit dry.

I detect a spirally roll thing going on.

Ah, a sausage coil. Kids love them on a BBQ, plus the chances of your sausage falling through the grill onto the hot coals is reduced greatly.

Typical bullying behaviour. The kiwis were right about you.

You're weasely upset. 

[Pidge]

Taken shortly before the beans were poured over everything I hope.

[lifetime fan]

I’d pay half the cost and when questioned tell them they can have the rest of the money once they’ve done the other half of the toast. 

[TheHowieLama]

Bacon - underdone

Eggs -- splash the fat!!!

Black Pud -- stuck between two frozen hash browns -- the shame

Toast -- comes with its own handle apparently

 

No mushrooms - minus

Half a mater -- minus

 

What is that -- chutney?

 

No keys, no conker.

 

They do get plus marks for not even bothering to put the beans in a ramekin. Just measure them out and throw directly into the bin, rinse, repeat.

 

I give it a 7 based purely on the price/value.

I do this so you get a film over the top of the yolk, then turn over and fry further for about 10 seconds top. You then get a nice runny egg that is fried properly instead of slop.

2 bacon and 1 Cumberland ring. It was enough sausage. In fact I didn't eat again all day, so it was enough everything. That's marmalade in the pot, I had that on one of the slices of toast at the end.

That was the reason I there. Not that I'm involved, but have lots of mates from a kid who grew up in it. Not sure why we bother to go to Southport, a few of the lads it's the one day of the year we still meet for a pint, but we never leave the pub and could be anywhere. But it's always a great day for me catching up with the lads, some of which I've known for more than 40 years and with everything that's happened over the last year with me (I wasn't well enough to go last year), it made it a bit more special yesterday.
