My English wife (Sandy is from York) showed me how good English food can
be -- just as the rest of the world showed me how rarely it meets her
standard. US Bacon is "streaky bacon" in the UK, a completely different
cut.
I was working in the Border Counties, a few years ago, and the B&B
keeper, a retired rugger, made these enormous, greasy "Scottish
breakfasts," after which he'd say: "With a breakfast like this, you
don't need lunch..." My answer: "After such a meal, I can't eat lunch;
my gut hanna' recovered fra' the insult!"
Cumbria. Good place for a Rollei -- don't stop to eat there ...

Hi Jerry,
I know what you mean about tinned beans, nevertheless they are popular
and apparently nutritious except for the excessive sugar. Quite big
differences exist in the world about bacon and toast, some like hot
others cooled, some like crisp some not. I prefer hot toast and fairly
crisp bacon but that is how my mother cooked it......
Our performance this season has not been bad luck IMHO :-(
all the best,
Frank

Frank,
I guess one could say that my statement on kippers in a full English
breakfast was a test. You passed! Kippers and eggs were an
alternative to a FEB. Also gammon and eggs.
I never could get used to canned baked beans with breakfast. I
taught the chef at The Oaks how to make hash brown potatoes
as our alternative. My wife's objection was that the toast was always
cold und dry and the bacon was undercooked.
I hope you have better luck in Brazil than you had in the far East.
Jerry
