Invictus_88 The full English Breakfast, a passionate exhultation by Invictus
There is truly no greater British dish than the full English breakfast. It is upon the Full English Breakfast that the empire was started. Hell, we needed all that empire-building just to burn off the damned calories.
Every morning I have a mini English breakfast which comprises four rashers of bacon, baked beans, mashed potato, black pudding, two fried eggs, grilled tomato and grilled mushroom with a glass of orange juice.
Before an expedition I have the Invictal Full English Breakfast, it comprises the following.
Starter:
Bowl of cereal, any sort.
Left plate:
Toast, jam, butter.
Centre plate:
Fried bread, two sausages, three rashers of bacon, baked beans, hash-browns (not quite what it sounds like), grilled tomato, grilled mushroom and black pudding.
To drink:
A cup of tea and a short series of glasses of orange juice.
Bloody, excellent.

Super! biggrin |

ficklefiend Invictus_88 Vodka flavoured scorpion-lolly. Kate got me it from Fortnum & Mason, I'm getting quite close to the scorpion though...I'm not sure what to do. I've got a tiny pointy bit of claw protruding from the top.
neutral bite it.
I sucked it until I just had a scorpion held on a thin base of the sugary stuff.
Then I held it between my front teeth, bit off the tail, yelped, and unhooked the stinger from my tongue. After snapping off the pointy bit I ate the tail, it was crunchy and tasted a bit like toast, but slightly more savoury.
Then I ate the body, it was comparatively fat. I ate it holding it between my molars and slowly crushing it. It was quite noisy, and made Kate swear never to kiss me ever again.
That bit tasted a bit salty, and a lot like savoury toast. A bit unpleasant really, compared to the vodka-sweet. And the hard little bits of shell-casing were horrible. They get stuck in your teeth and they're hard to swallow.
All-in-all though, I'm glad I did it. |

Urgh. You described that much too well. |

ficklefiend El Capitano It's gotta be the finest of them all, the true king of all British food...Fish and Chips..Who can resist a large Cod and Chips -It's rather tasty-licious heart Cod? Pah! There is a reason why Scotland has the best fish and chips in the world. That reason is Haddock.
Veggie nuggets, anyone? |

Battered sausage > Haddock / Cod / veggie nuggets
South East chip shops > Scottish chip shops (which I found to be suprisingly sparse and all of them were moving towards a healthier option) |

I'll agree about the sausage but you were looking in the wrong place in Scotland. My nearest town has 3 chip shops on the street along the harbour, plus a restuarant with a sign that says something along the lines of "Fish and chips, served on plates". |

Where were you in Scotland because you really have to be in or around a working fishing port to get the best fish and chips. East coast, possibly a few little spots on the west (The Ullapool chipper aint too shabby)
The best I have ever eaten was easily Zanre's in Peterhead. They are on the doorstep of the harbour and their fish is fresh and melts in your mouth. They won the best chip shop award a few years back and Blue Peter went to visit them, it was funny because the kids they picked to be on film must have been the most well-spoken kids in the whole of the town! I've never heard a Peeterheed kid speak like that, ever.
I sway between battered sausage and haddock. Occasionally I'll be super indulgent and have a white pudding supper (Truly a heart attack on a plate) but you have to make sure you've got a drink as well, otherwise you loose every drop of liquid from your mouth to the oatmeal- beware! |
