    I'm afraid to say PAH that if you want the traditional greasy spoon experience, you're going to have to go value brand.

      I sat down for my "Big breakfast", £5.99 including tea and toast, when I grabbed the squeezy sauce bottle and tried to apply the sauce to the bacon, the lid fell off and a huge river of sauce landed all over my brekkie.

      The guy came over and said "should I replace your breakfast?", and I said it would be ok if they could just replace the hash brown and mushrooms that were literally swimming in the stuff, I would be happy. No need to go for a brand new brekkie.

      They replaced the whole dish. And when I left looked pissed off at me (or I may be paranoid). I thought I was being reasonable.

          I'm sick and tired of the number of sausages that have poncy ingredients (e.g pepper) added. I just want a traditional banger for my traditional breakfast.

          I feel like the banger makers have been taken over by starbucks and sausage flavour sausage is as rare as coffee flavour coffee.
          These tasty little chaps go down well on a Sunday morning here at wobbegong acres.

          The vegetarian option.

            Nooo, this is the point I am making. The traditional greasy spoon uses such nasty cheapo sausages that the fat n' crap content makes you crave it when hungover.

            If you knew what went in it, you'd never eat it.

              I really want a fry up now.

              Bacon, egg, pudding, tomatos, potato cake, soda bread.

              I have to stop thinking about this - I'm drooling.

                I blame the cumberland sausage for starting all this nonsense about how sausages can no longer be normal sausages.

                I don't mind breadcrumbs and other crap in the sausages, it's not like a full english is healthy anyway and once or twice a month isn't going to do any damage.

                Just don't want my palate contaminating with pepper and other herbs/spices that have no place at all in a full english breakfast. If I want to be posh I'll get a black pudding thrown on.

                  We need an ex-spurt on the matter.
