Worst suburban article on wikipedia - the nominations

[ringo]

Best with two types of potato - bubble & hash browns is good, and two types of bread - fried and toasted. Mug of tea.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Everything should be fried, even the tea.

Since this thread seems to be just about breakfast, this is how it must be:
3 bacon RINDS ON, 3 fried egg (runny yolk, in fact I could take or leave the white, a cup of yolk would be ideal), 2 rusky grimcore sausage, mushrooms, beans (THESE MUST BE SERVED SEPARATELY), fried bread, black pudding. Bone marrow if available. Lots of sweetened builders tea.

No, that's you displaying a social prejudice that this is how traditionally w/c people drink tea. How do you 'have' tea?

it's a colloquial term. your analysis of its origins may be correct, but it's still used by many people.

Google for munchy box.

Google for munchy box.

I could feel my arteries furring up just looking at those.

 

[Orang Utan]

jeez! from the wiki: There is invariably a salad item known locally as chips.

 

[wayward bob]

back bacon x2 grilled til fat crispy (free range, smoked)
sausage x1 fried slowly til gooey (free range, only addition allowed is herbs)
fried egg x1 cooked with a lid on the pan so the white sets and the yolk is runny
big flat mushrooms x2 grilled (butter, salt)
grilled tomatoes x3-4halfs grilled until lightly charred, worcester sauce and black pepper
fried potatoes xsome (cold boiled new potatoes, sliced, fried in butter til crunchy)
sainsbos own brand ketchup

 

[DaveCinzano]

Bread or Toast or Fried Bread

Fuck off with your 'or'.

 

[fractionMan]

Fried bread is optional, bread and butter is optional. Toast is mandatory.

 

[Orang Utan]

if i had a caff, i would refuse to serve chips or ketchup
my business would fail, but my principles would remain unsullied.

 

[_angel_]

Anyway, proper cooked breakfast =

Fried Potatoes (not chips, not bubble)
Sausages
Black Pud
Bacon
Fried Eggs (fuck of with your scrambled)
Fried Bread
Mushrooms - none of the big jobbies and no tinned either

Mug of tea.

[wayward bob]

You were doing splendidly until the ketchup.

I'm partial to putting a bit of balsamic vinegar on the tomatoes before cooking them.

I have weaned myself off fried eggs, but poached is still good. Bacon is loads better grilled anyway, fortunately.

Cowboy in the what!?...You're speaking in tongues!!?

 

[past caring]

No, I mean fried.

i think it was on here i was accused of blue waffle style trolling with that one

 

[DaveCinzano]

Fried bread is optional, bread and butter is optional. Toast is mandatory.

Compulsory across the board. Slice of bread and butter on the side plate (diagonally cut) to stab at the yolk from above, slice of fried underneath the egg to capture rogue yolk flecks, slice of toast on the rack cooling before buttering and mopping up the empty plate.

Your version is the breakfast of Quislings.

Se

No, I mean fried.

Same thing, just a posh name. boil and fry.

 

[joustmaster]

i don't think i ever had bubble and squeak in a full english, until i had moved down south..

a bit like saveloy sausages i guess

 

[sheothebudworths]

Not that I'll bother actually editing wikipedia, my nomination is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_English_breakfast

I mean, wtf?

A full breakfast, especially in the British Isles and some other English-speaking cultures, is a substantial breakfast meal of several courses including a cooked main course, a starter such as fruit juice, prunes, grapefruit, or cereal, and a beverage such as coffee or tea or, in a pub, an alcoholic drink.

Fucking hell, LOL....a starter? Yes, yes! I OFTEN tuck into a few prunes before a fry up (can't hurt )!

 

[RubyToogood]

What the hell is "fruit pudding" (listed in the article as being a Scots component of a full breakfast)?
