| Mmm.. look at those lovely eggs and is that British bacon? |
One of those comments was "'Beans and eggs
together? that's an interesting combo. It's not something I would have thought
of" ... and I was actually really confused and I don't get it. Why
wouldn't you have beans and eggs? Is there something terrible about having
baked beans and eggs together? I don't understand the need to have even thought
about it - it's just natural. Go ahead,
if you’re English and reading this – what would you have thought of that
question? I bet you’ve never questioned
it either.
A full English breakfast is eggs, bacon, sausage,
mushroom, tomato and fried slice, with some variations depending on what you
have in the fridge at that time. I don't like fried tomatoes, so beans are my
thing.
Another comment (from a Brit, of course) was "Peanut
butter and jam – that's a weird combination!" And I agree! Oh, and putting pancakes and syrup on the
same plate as your eggs and bacon - now that's very weird! And being
expected to use the same knife and fork for it, ugh. Sweet and savoury should not be mixed on the
same plate.
I’m sure we just grow up and get used to what we
are given to eat, but who decided that breakfast needed a pudding? Why does bacon and eggs always come with
pancakes?
Then came the questions from the Brits –
- where’s the sausages and black pudding?
- where’s the mushrooms?
- where’s the fried tomatoes?
- where’s the HP sauce?
- where’s the fried bread?
Come on now – I’ve been here 20 years and only
just found something that could be called “English” bacon. Give me a chance already! J
