    For those non British viewers there is four variations of cooked breakfast. The English, the Scottish, the welsh & Irish breakfast. All great, and all come slightly different variations of the cooked breakfast.
    The English breakfast is normally black pudding, the Scottish comes with haggis and their own square sliced sausage. The Welsh is normally with laverbread and the Irish normally comes with white pudding.

    I visited London for the first time a few months ago, and of all the full English breakfasts I ate (there were many) I think E Pellici was possibly the best of them. Great little place and you can feel the warmth, the sense of community and the history in its walls… BUT! It’s cash only! You do have to be wary of that! I had no idea and it put me in quite a bind at the very last moment. Thankfully they were so kind and understanding about it, but definitely come prepared beforehand. It was the only time/place I was not able to use my US credit card for my entire visit to the UK.

    As a Brit, I have to say that while bubble and squeak is traditional, you'll basically never see it outside of London. As someone that travels a lot across the UK, there are variations, but 95% of breakfasts will have hash browns, with about 4% of others having chips as an option.

    • @paulm2467
      @paulm2467 Před rokem +22

      Bubble and squeak should be made with the left overs from Sunday lunch, ideally served with the meat and gravy, the greatest is on Boxing Day when you have lots of veg and potatoes and best of all brussel sprouts.

    Just a little bit of info on black pudding, the pork blood is a solid throughout the whole process. Pork blood is almost always sold and used in its congealed form, which basically makes it behave in a similar fashion to ground meat, which makes it a perfect additive to sausages.

    A traditional homemade fry-up is supposed to be heavy on calories, because a back-in-the-day breakfast was the meal that set you up for the day, and it's made of cheap ingredients. My granddad would add fried chipped potatoes because, again, it's cheap and filling, and a post-war staple for big or working class families, with easily sourced foods! That's the essence of an English breakfast - bubble and squeak is only added if that's what you had for dinner (tea) the night before. Hash browns are an extra. Also go to the English countryside to get quality better sausages! - 11:13

The hash browns we know in Britain are commercial, frozen varieties of that that have been through the kind of process you described, but they are definitely not based on bubble and squeak, which is an entirely different thing.

    I always love it when an American is open-minded and adventurous enough to try black pudding, and watching Joe really enjoying it was superb. Also loved that moment when Joe suddenly 'got' beans on toast with a full English - both his delight, and his almost guilty look, were priceless. I'm 100% with Harry on mushrooms - I either like mushrooms fully raw, or fully cooked, and hate that rubbery in-between nonsense. Great showcasing of the three restaurants, and I can totally see how Pellicci's took the win in the end, even with Joe's discomfort at the environment. You could see how Pellicci's just had that extra genuine care and enthusiasm, and that pretty much always goes into the food too - made with love, as some would say.

      Growing up in Boston, MA, with Irish immigrant parents, we had a fry up breakfast twice a week. Black pudding, sometimes white pudding, tried to get "Irish bacon", like rashers, and "Irish sausages". We had a couple of Irish shops and a butcher that had the real stuff. Back as a very young kid, early 70s, even some of the supermarkets carried a black pudding, not the best quality. And we washed it all down with strong Barry's or Lyons "loose" tea brewed in the pot. Good stuff!
