Morning all, Right I'll lay my cards on the table straight away. I was disgusted about the anti-beans sentiment that was rife on this forum and decided to do something about it, proof either way if you will about beans on a fry-up. I've been working in a pub over the summer holiday, and as such have access to a large sample base, the pub has a very mixed clientèle and as such is perfect for action research. I created a questionnaire, yeah I'm that sad, and gave the questionnaire to one hundred people, which is available on request. The central question, which I don't feel is leading in the slightest, was 'What would you expect to arrive on a fry-up if you ordered one somewhere you'd never been before?' I put ten options down, I didn't want to add Irish/Scottish variation because I think it would confuse matters. The options, and results, follow bellow in percentage form. Bacon 100% Sausage 100% Egg (Any type) 100% Beans 89% Toast/Bread 100% Mushrooms 63% Tomatoes (Any type) 72% Black Pudding 36% Fried Bread 38% Hash Browns 43% Them's fact right there, Beans are statistically more favourable than Tomatoes, Black Pudding, Mushrooms and pretty much everything else. Beans belong on a Fry-up and scientific endeavour has proved it. Now can we put this debate to bed?
