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

Fry up

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.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

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.

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

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.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

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