Beans on toast
Another question from the Brit-coms on PBS: what do you get when someone serves a "full English breakfast"?
The full heart attack on a plate - bacon, sausages, fried eggs, fried bread, tomatoes, mushrooms and anything else there's room for. I go for the vegi-sausage version myself so I'm not an authority, but I get the impression that the full English is easier to find in Ireland these days.
You forgot the black and white pudding, and the tinned beans!
What's black and white pudding? Beans for breakfast?
Don't believe them when they tell you it's fish and chips. It's hinez baked beans on toast.
I'm beginning to understand why I never see a British restaurant in the U.S.
It's not 'black & white' pudding, but 'black' pudding a delicious, mildly spiced sausage concoction made with ...... dried blood! However, it is very nice when sliced into 1cm slices and fried - makes a splendid breakfast ingredient.
