- Princess Diana ate a full tin of Heinz beans for breakfast! Some say it's the breakfast of champions and won't start the day without it. For others, it's a weekend treat. One things for sure, the Brits love a 'full English breakfast' and even go in search of 'the British Pub' when abroad for their daily fix. But a proper Full English breakfast has to have authentic ingredients, sausage, bacon, beans and black pudding. Here I show you how to prepare it... the way I prepared it for the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace. Grab a mug of tea, sit back and start the video.

You’ve burned the eggs. Dropped into a too hot pan. And you left all the pith in the tomato.
when i cook the beans i melt butter i the pot then i stuer them till them till the source thicken
@@Raggandrist how are the eggs burnt???? those are the best types of sunny side ups. runny middle, crispy edges.
No thanks.
I suppose the tomatoes are intended to be sort of a concession to good health, meant to counter the heart-exploding powers of aaalllllllllll the other ingredients. 🤓
In a traditional English breakfast, we cook everything in one pan at 2am whilst still blind drunk and singing
That made me laugh out loud
are you confusing between Irish cause they drink and nothing happens how
Huzzah!
@John Smallberries ❤️🇨🇦❤️
@John Smallberries right with the hash
Protip for visitors to the UK: Go to a cafe where you see workman wearing hi-vis equipment eating a full English if you're not sure where is a good place to get one.
Lorry drivers are also a major clue 👍 where I live in Devon or Devonshire to our American friends, you have to pull off the roads to find decent breakfast stops. Romany Jones truck stop in Kingsteignton breakfast so big it won't fit on the plate 😋😂and you can swap the potatoe rubbish for an extra egg or rasher of bacon 😋
I second this
That's good advice in the US, too.
Yep- just go to cheapest place
Got it 😀
I'm an American of British ancestry, and I visit the UK every few months, I lived there for two years. I do love a good fry up, and indulge everytime I'm there. Here in Mississippi, it's biscuits and gravy, grits, and venison or wild hog sausage from my hunts. I don't know which I love more, a Southern or full English breakfast. Both are delicious. You can't find HP sauce here in the states, I order off Amazon.
“We only live to 25 here, but we eat well.” 😂😂😂 ok, I just became a fan. That made me belly laugh.
If i had that for Breakfast everyday I'd also conquer 66% of world.
😁😄
A breakfast like that, I'd let you!
Wasnt it 25%
Go for it
Normally not every day sunday treat, or you wouldn"t live long.

@@merriedge8186 thank God he's there. You heathen!
What tends to be forgotten about this meal is it was invented to feed agricultural workers around 10am who had incredibly manual jobs and had been at it since 6am. The fact we are all office workers and still eating it is the problem 😂
The English breakfast is probably one of the heartiest breakfast in the world.
*”We only live ‘til about 25 in England but we do eat good.”* 😂
hahaha cough choke expires

Lol! We eat alot of stuff too here. Once in awhile is good! Lots of cholesterol prescriptions! Lol
This looks like the perfect breakfast to cure a hangover.
Oh boy... Fish and chips and Guinness at night and full English and ale in the morning!
It really is
Luis, this breakfast is the bees knees, amazing for breakfast and as you say just perfect for an hangover
Brainiac tested it years ago, a proper fatty breakfast is the best hangover cure.
it is but make sure you have some anti indegestion tablets, its bad enough with a hangover let alone followed by a fry up!
The two meals I love cooking for my family of four are a full English and a full Sunday roast. I think it is the challenge of the logistics getting each item cooked to perfection and all hot on the table at the same time.
Yes I have a system when doing a fry up, don't mess with the system lol.
Two good meals - but not on the same day!
Lies again? Entertaining Babies USD SGD
I’m a Brit living in Texas and on Christmas Day we ditched the turkey in favor a full rib of beaf, roasties, Brussels sprouts and carrots.
I have almost managed to get close to an English pork sausage locally but failed with back bacon and black pudding. I can forego the traditional English baked beans as I like American beans. Mushrooms and Tom’s are no problem. Fried bread, no problem. I’m almost there. If I go to a “British shop” here I can get Cumberland or Lincolnshire but curiously they are made here and expensive.
My latest thing for high protein quickie breakfast is a couple of slices of spiral cut ham lightly cooked to stay tender and two fried eggs. One pan.
Great post. Thanks.
Not been home in three years and this makes me massively nostalgic.
"To eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day."
LOL
-You already had breakfast.
-What about second breakfast?
Yessssssss
Fool of a took
My sweet mom had joined Pippen Took in this chat🤣🤣🤣.
Traditional American breakfast:
Two Marlboro reds and coffee with two shots of whiskey in it.
in Germany called a "hooker's breakfast" oder "Nuttenfrühstück" - cigarettes (filterless) and black coffee
I died 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@horstschattenhirn9081 *reads filterless* Dear God what a woman
That's my kinda breakfast
Nah! As the old fiddle tune goes, you should have the "Whisky Before Breakfast""
Why do I get the feeling this guy cooked for the royal family?
I'm from the UK, 25, and have been eating a (semi) full English almost every day because of working from home...* *sweating as I stare death in the face* *
If you are only eating semi you are good till 50 at least 😂
Ah you can still turn it around
LOL!
You need to cut that out mate, once a week at most or it's an early grave for you

I am a southern American man, born in Alabama, and I LOVE a proper English fry up.

Defiantly going to try this delicious meal !
When we were in Ireland they had the Full English Breakfast and it was my favorite meal, except when we went to the Pub for fish and chips.
I’ll share my story. I had not eaten in about 42 hours after flying around and I landed in London. Heathrow airport to be exact. I had gotten in late and and I had no idea where to eat or what to get so I said to the man late that night just give me something you recommend. So he brought me a giant burger and hand made crisps and a giant soda. It was amazing and I slept great. Next morning I was at the same place and skimmed through the the breakfast menu and I saw the “Grand Breakfast” well, being an American in London, why not get the grand breakfast. I ordered and it blew my mind, I had no idea what it was or ever even heard of this. Well I was unsure but hungry. And dove right in and I can attest to the gentleman in the video. It is amazing. Never have I ever had something so spectacular in my life. It was better than the previous meal I had there and I’m sure it will be if I ever am fortunate to fly again to London, something I would stop and enjoy again. Loved the video and you answered so many questions I had. Like I just thought it was a hockey puck but now I know lol. Absolutely tremendous!
I so can relate to this! I also had the English breakfast after a long fly at the London Airport but I can’t remember the name of the place. Man it was so good and the staff at the restaurant were so nice!
@Willow Cat our borders have never been closed to come in.
This guy makes grease sound so interesting.
its not a proper cooked breakfast if it aint swimming in grease lol
And necessary!
It's cracklin' good stuff!
It's always been a crap movie
Tell me more, tell me more...
I’m like you, when I go to the UK, I have to seek out a full English breakfast, which I was introduced to there. I’m American but I love this!
As an American, I can vouch for the sheer bliss that is black pudding: I was dubious at first, knowing the ingredients, but it truly is fantastic. If you've never had it, your in for a treat.
black pudding tastes disgusting - it's the only think left-over on my plate after breakfast. You think people would learn by now...? :/
Dave if you think that’s disgusting try ox tongue. It’s like eating solidified spit.
@@js2749 Won't eat anything from an ox...a guy I work with was eating oxtail at work - nasty stuff.
Its fire
A full English breakfast. Or as it is called in the rest of the world: a full day's worth of food, lunch and dinner!
That’s pretty much what it was designed to be for the British manual worker, who worked 12 -16 hour days years ago.
In brazil this is like a lunch without rice and chicken or cow meat
In Asia it’s just a breakfast . An average middle class Asian family have like 4 or 5 dishes , soup and rice every lunch and dinner.

@Darren Mountford Pretty much. :D :D :D
Good luck we're in lockdown.
This guy is so freaking charming. I can't help but to like him.
who else is watching this at breakfast time and now cooking an english breakfast haha. This video made me so hungry.
Your energy and frendliness while you're making this amazing breakfast is perfect
I absolutely love how genuinely excited he is about cooking this breakfast!
I also love how genuinely excited his son is about eating breakfast!
Lies again? Delicious Food English Treat
@@a.d.3606 His son sounds like an American. I think he holds his fork and knife like a Brit, though. I wonder how they hold their spoons.
It's a ritual cooking a full breakfast is in our blood
Guys it ain't his son 🤣
Nothing beats a hangover like a full english with a tea and pint of orange juice
Yes, definately the tea, man. And with milk too
Yes bruv
and 3 bloodies
Yanks version is the "Grand Slam": eggs, browns, flapjacks, toast, bacon, sausage...with a screwdriver/bloody
I was about to post basically this lol
I used to visit family in Kentucky and they would have beans for breakfast. I thought that was so weird lol. But I now know where the tradition came from. ❤
As an American, I completely agree: you guys have the best breakfast, period. Hell, I go to a local British pub at least 3 times a week for breakfast (and a couple of times for dinner as well - Yorkshire pudding is a bit addictive). Don’t get me wrong, I do love our traditional breakfast as well, but I just find a traditional British breakfast to better 😋
It's got more legit sustenance and less sugar. If you're a busy person, it'll keep you right if you don't have time for lunch.
I love pancakes, but they're not good for breakfast. It's completely empty carbs and breakfast is the most important meal of thw day.
You not from down South if you saying that
America and British foods are blend and suck. Just face the fact LOL
Yes I totally agree. American scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast is missing something fresh. I think we need to add fried tomatoes
As a British expat who has lived in the US for 10 years, I enjoy both, but I prefer English. I have tried some English-style breakfasts in the US, but none used black pudding, back bacon, or proper bangers.
A friend of mine from Chelsea was kind enough to invite me to his restaurant and pub to watch England play in the World Cup and made us my first proper English breakfast. Epic. God bless you Michael!
My wife is Irish and her mother introduced me to this traditional breakfast and cooked it for me on my first visit to Ireland to meet them as I prepared to ask her dad for his blessing to marry.
Had you turned down the breakfast, the blessing for you to marry their daughter, might not have been forthcoming. Lol.
Yes, with Irish brown bread and butter. Nothing like it.
.ha...that's pretty cool🤙
@@redwoods7370 Irish ppl like soda bread too, also white pudding
@@whatastud1000 Yes I warm my soda bread on St Patty's Day and eat it with cheese and butter.🇯🇲🇺🇸
Anyone that hasn't tried black pudding doesn't know what they are missing. Yummmy!
British food is very interesting, would love to try them. A typical breakfast here in the Philippines consists of fried rice, dried fish which is fried, fried egg, with vinegar as dipping sauce. It is paired with chocolate drink made from locally produced 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴 (solid cocoa chunks) and ladled with coconut milk. Very heavenly in taste. 🇵🇭🇬🇧
In the video he mentions that before WW2, during the Victorian period, the english would eat, ‘Kedgeree’ which is smoked haddock poached in milk, boiled rice, curry powder, parsley and a hard boiled egg.
It’s delicious… you can check his video on if you type ‘smoked haddock kedgeree’ it should come up. 👍🏼
Mmmmm.
Kedgeree is perfect for a lazy Sunday morning along with hot buttered toast, tea, and the Sunday newspapers while in bed.
No wonder why Japanese lives the longest 🥲 these people meals are prepped for cancer 🥲
As a fellow Filipino I can agree what you described is a top notch breakfast. God I do miss the Philippines 🇵🇭
Come to Malolos and I will cook you an English breakfast
Over the years I have had many many Full English Breakfasts at the U.K.s revered 'Greasy Spoons' with a big mug of strong sweet builders tea. Cannot be beaten. Plus for those out there who have not tried it black pudding is to die for.
Man I miss a full English. Every single Saturday and Sunday, we go to the pub, have the full English, go play some pool and back to the pub for football. Such incredible memories
“Football”?! Americans call it Soccer. I love my American “football”! 🏈
@@mnob1122 he's still asleep 😴
What does black pudding taste like? Similar to sausage?
That sounds amazing!
@@KA-ui3sm dont get me started you IDIOT ! Now I want one and there is no way, what did you dooooo ;)
In New Zealand here, I make a full English breakfast for the family every Sunday morning. A great family moment for talking and laughing
you wouldn't get me up in the morning on a sunday, i don't care what you make to eat.
Do you call it a Full New Zealand?
@@greggschroeder good point.
I will do the same.
Thanks Darren, you're such a noble soul, I see it in the respect you have for the royal family, blessings on you 🙏
Thanks for describing "bangers". I like the charming delivery, too.
Black pudding is one of those things where it's better to have grown up eating it before you know what's in it
yeah so the adult can lie to you about what's in it.
@@bkbk4003 lol well no one lied to me, they just didn't tell me. I guess I always assumed it was meat but it does taste really good
Whats in it
@@edwardkenway148 Blood, captain.
Right. I remember as a child my grandma would often cook black pudding with eggs, toasts and mushrooms whenever I visited her some mornings. I grew so fond of it that when I learnt what was in it, it didn't matter anymore.
As a Brit living in the US I have converted my three boys to HP sauce and now regret it as the bottle is always empty - love ya Darren
Brown sauce is best.
@Timothy Mckee HAHAHHAAH
I know it's not the same but Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper works as a HP sauce substitute. I don't have any specific measurements I just add to taste.
I like A1 but HP DEFINITELY tastes better
@@patriciayohn6136 thank you for the tip!
Watching these food vids just reminds me back when I was a kid and waking up early in the morning, mom cooking us breakfast and watching cartoons ❤ The nostalgia bomb even tho I’m not british but this vid made me feel that way and I love it
Breakfast is considered the first parade of the day in the British army, well it was years ago. I did 26 and it was my favourite meal of the day, I didn't worry about the calories because I'd burn them off plus more during the day.
When I was in Stonehouse, Plymouth with the RM and 3 Cdo Bde the food was aimed at 5,600 calories, well above the recommended intake. Didn't put on a pound, I'd burn it off during the day. Probably the best food I've had in the military.
“More distance between the eggs and the beans.
Use the sausage as a breakwater.”
Alan Partridge
I might want to mix the eggs and the beans... but I want that to be MY decision.
Hahaha true
@@aquilatempestate9527 Noooo! Sacrilege! That would risk the egg yolk running into the bean juice instead of being used to dip the sausage and bacon in. That would spoil the whole thing.
I have the biggest smile on my face right now, this guy is so warm and pleasant 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome! I just found your channel. Lovely jubbly. As a displaced Brit, my mouth watered watching you cook that breakfast. It brought back fond memories of my mom serving it up on a weekend morning. Cant wait to watch you other videos. Great video, mate. I remember years ago when as a family moving to this side of the pond. My mom and dad hated the food over here, but, over time, you get used to eating it. Fortunately we can all get English groceries. Edit: This brought back memories of watching "Darling Buds of May." Talk about eating. They would have a massive stogg-up in the morning. Now I'm hungry, I just I just finished eating. 😁
The fry up is amazing! I love the fact that the EPL is on at 9:00 am on Saturdays here in Texas, so I can make my own fry up and eat it while I watch my beloved Palace! Come on, you Eagles!
English breakfast is the best comfort food ever.
Ever had a full Irish?
@Timothy Mckee Bushmills is Protestant whiskey.
@@MonarchPoolPlaster It's still Irish
Thing that changed my 'full English breakfast' life was when I bought a paella pan, then I finally had space to cook everything in one!
just use a garbage can lid ..much cheaper
They're really good as they're carbon steel and heat up well.
Pro move
How could you not get hungry watching this? Such a good meal perfect for anytime of day not just breakfast
Black pudding with lingonberry jam is a traditional dish and quite popular also in Latvia. And we are not beating around the bush, we call it "blood sausage" (asinsdesa) :D
I was relieved to see the HP at the end there. Perfection!
@@JHSTARKY1450 HP or chop......but never Tommy K!

Heinz beans and toast will keep you going for a long time. 💖🍁

Beans, beans, the musical fruit....
Free afterburners.

In my humble opinion the beans need to simmer for a while to let tge sauce thicken slightly.....hav'nt had any comlaints from family yet.....
I was in Dublin and had the classic Irish breakfast. It was the same as the English breakfast which I also had when I lived there, except they had black AND white pudding, both are awesome. But in America, I like the typical lumberjack breakfast: eggs, toast or buttermilk biscuit, bacon, ham, sausage, plus pancakes and coffee. YUM!
oh my god this looks amazing, what a great video. Love the enthusiasm as he's cooking.
OK I am sold on this breakfast , it looks too good. I will be looking for these ingredients here is the USA. God Bless my cousins in the UK for making a great breakfast tradition.
While living in Scotland in the 80s the best cure for a hang over is a traditional English Breakfast. My first time I had one was when I met this lass in Glasgow at the Tin Pan Alley. She brought me home. When I got up her mom dad and brother were eating breakfast. They invited me to sit and eat. It was the best breakfast I ever ate
The best breakfast ever! Thank you so much for this amazing video!
Such a nice enjoyable video to learn and see how it all comes about. Looking forward to watching you other videos. Thank you kindly
I love black and white pudding! My Grandmother was from Lincolnshire, and my Grandfather was from Kerry. Since we lived in the U.S. on a farm they would make their own puddings, and back bacon, so even though I'm born and bred American (Eastern Maryland) I still grew up eating a good deal of traditional British fare. Absolutely love it!
When german businessmen come over to the uk,many would order the full english and probably didn't need to eat for the rest of the day....if your busy and active,a full or half english to start your day is a joy.
You were so blessed!!
I was born in Delaware, and throughout the DELMARVA a popular breakfast item is scrapple, and one of my favorites but love a full English breakfast too.
@@MG-ot2yr I LOVE scrapple...when I moved away I couldn't understand how no one else had even heard of it. I lived in West Virginia on the Ohio border in the mid 90's and not one store carried it, even though I was only 5 or 6 hours away from Delaware/Maryland. I would buy a case of Rapa Scrapple everytime I came to visit my Mum...So good!!!
@@roshif-tv9xd Yea its pretty localized, but the stores here in the Washington, DC area carry it, Rapa brand which is best, but west of here it would be tough to impossible to find. And its popular in South Central and SE Pennsylvania and up there they like to cut a 1" slice, fry it up, and put syrup on it, which I always thought was a terrible thing to do to a slice of scrapple. But I've never been a fan of sweet things for breakfast either.
Aww Darren, You are fast becoming my happy place amongst this mad world we live in these days! Thank you 😊
My fave too! Love British cuisine 😋😋
WOW!!!! Now I know why I love Baked Beans in the morning. My Mother was from England. God rest her soul! The only thing I would like different eggs scrambled. Broccoli instead of tomatoes. Damn fine-looking breakfast!
On the other side you may serve the traditional porridge with white or brown sugar on it. When I'm in the UK, I only eat traditional English breakfast, whether porridge or baked beans, black pudding, sausages, tomatoes fried, mushrooms, bacon and fried white bread. As a German like me it is hard for me waiving the traditional coffee drunk in Germany, but in the UK is drinking tea honest.
I've stayed at a few B&Bs in Britain and the breakfast is always so massive I could barely finish it. The best (worst?) was at a place near Portsmouth. It had everything and plenty of it - eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms - plus 4 pieces of toast, a full pot of tea, jam, honey, coffee if I wanted, and yogurt too. Could barely move after and there was no need for a lunch. Excellent.
I live in Portsmouth, do you remember where you went?
@@jamiengo2343 It was in Gosport (I think) across the harbor by ferry from Portsmouth. It was a large B and B, almost like a mini hotel. Beside the grand breakfast I remember they had a bar and game room, with a pool table, board games, and lots of books we could borrow. The owner told me the bar was open and you were 'on your honor'. Which meant we could get our own drinks, but had to mark them down in a ledger with our name and room number, and we would be billed for our drinks at check out time. At the B and B I met some British soldiers in town for a wedding and got plastered with them after they dragged me to the wedding reception. Next morning I found they had put about 60 quid worth of drinks next to my name in the ledger! Was worth it though. Great time.
Heavenly!!
😂
I'm from Portsmouth 😉❤🇬🇧
I've traveled and to 40 countries around the world. I've eaten wonderful food but, English Breakfast is by far my favorite!
There is nothing in the world like English bacon I cannot get it where I live in the United States but I have such fond memories of it
@@migimom8950 we are lucky to live close to a big international supermarket that carry English Bacon, Bangers and black pudding 😋
for sure you have a taste problem...
Now I love an English breakfast, it is wonderful fare, but it is surpassed by a good Sunday roast!
what about turkey?
I love a full English. Two Pork Sausages, two Bacon, 1 Egg, 1 Black pudding, mushrooms, half fried Tomatoe, Beans and slice of fried Bread or Toast. The British coastal resort of Scarborough, iv had some fantastic Full English breakfasts in the B&Bs there. They pride themselves on their full English.
i could eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day ha ha ha ha ha. Much love to you from New York City.
As an American I tip my hat to the British. Two things superbly “invented”; Afternoon Tea and baked beans for breakfast. 👍💯
Tea came from China
@@wildlifewarrior2670 I think he meant the concept of “afternoon tea”…. Or atleadt I hope he did 😂
@@Max-wl7jn we'll never know unless he replies
Haha I'm an American too and never seen baked beans for breakfast until I discovered the English Breakfast.
@@deathbycake7637 it wasn't on the original English breakfast that is why , I would hate to give you a history lesson but why do you think this breakfast came about
When I was a little girl, my dad used to do these breakfasts on a weekend morning. He made back bacon or Canadian bacon, eggs sunny side up, toast, sometimes he’d open a tin of beans, sliced tomatoes on the side, and sausage. And he always had HP sauce. Canadians love their HP sauce as well.
Cannot beat it! I went to Birmingham, U.K. Art Gallery and Museum last year, they have a whole section dedicated the HP Sauce, as that is where it old factory was based.
Indeed. I am planning on preparing this copious breakfast this coming Sunday morning.
@@antonboludo8886
At what time should I be there? 😁 I'll bring the coffee.
@@billgreen1861 :D
Beans are where I draw the line.
As a Chinese that onced had stayed in the UK for a 10 years shy, English breakfast is definitely among the things I missed the most. So much so that I am starting to cook my own English breakfast at my China home. The most difficult thing to come by is the breakfast sausages, whatever Lincolnshire or Yorkshire is, probably due to the difficulties in transport. I am trying to find some local alternatives that meet my memories most.
Still, no fish and chips in the UK can persuade me from doing it again. They are good but not my type. That's not offending yeah?
I love chinese food
I'm offended go back and try it again until you like

This is coded into every British person's dna and yet I watched the entirety of the video and enjoyed every second of it. There's something about a full english... Love the videos Darren!
@@RodericSpode It's not something we would have on a daily basis by any means. This is certainly a large portion though; the kind of portion size we'd cook up for a hangover cure after a heavy night of drinking lol
@@RodericSpode personally I eat this every Saturday morning with the family usually in the local cafe but obviously not right now.
@@RodericSpode you can always get smaller portions from experience this would be considered a large in most cafes
That's true. I could eat that any day and at any time. We all know how to make it aswell, or at least have a our own take on it.
@@RodericSpode We call it black pudding and we even have white pudding. There's some puddings flavoured with some interesting stuff too. It's quite a northern thing on the breakfast plate.
I'm obsessed with that adorable stuffed corgi.
Gayyyyyyyyyy
Me too it would make the perfect target for crossbow practice.
Me too! He made it "sleep" in a dog bed, so cute. 🙂 ❤
Traditional old American farm breakfast was fried eggs over easy, a really spicy sausage patty or two, hashbrowns, toast and oatmeal. Glass of either milk, orange juice, tomato juice, tea or coffee. You likely had two of the drinks. Sometimes morrels but those were mostly for supper with deep fried fish fillets as well as asparragas as morrels and asparagas season were the same. Most canned type beans are bad these days. To sweet or more like tomato juice with a lot of sugar added. I have had left over home made Boston baked beans. A lean breakfast was two eggs a large helping of hashbrowns, toast and something to drink.
Oh man, I'd love one now... English breakfast is Amazing
My God I want a traditional English breakfast right freaking now!!!
😂
Darren: Sausages are called ‘bangers’
Me: a h. y e s.
Darren: *explains*
Me: oh.
Bangers and Mash .... sausages and mash potatoe is great too 🥰 🥰
@KR Diaz haha! why yes I suppose that works...
Not the breakfast type.
Same... Same...
Nobody in the UK ever calls sausages bangers, unless they are served with mash.
I lived in the UK in the 70s.. was fun staying in a nice hotel and having breakfast... used to order something that went out of style... Grilled kippers with stewed tomatoes.
You are great, and good to explaining for new generations Thanks.
A proper night out in London involves a pub crawl, a curry, and a fry up in the AM
I've been craving this for 40 years. (I live in the US.)

@@texastea5686 Brown sugar at that and extra ketchup and mustard lol
Great English breakfast that... and not a hash brown in sight!
THAT explains it all now. When visiting England a few years back I was served a traditional English breakfast and was in for quite a surprise. Didn’t know what to think about beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, limp bacon and greasy bread on my plate. We’re all used to and love what we were raised on. American here, and my favorite is a southern American breakfast with grits, eggs, country gravy, crisp bacon, hash browns, and a buttermilk biscuit with melted butte &!honey. I loved all of Darren’s explanations, especially about the bangers. But oh man, don’t think I’ll ever be open enough to try the black pudding made with pig’s blood.
You eat pigs blood already, at least I assume you do if you have an opinion on bacon...
The only bacon or any pork you'll find with no blood or flavour of blood in it is vegetarian 'bacon'.
In Mexico we have a sausage made with pigs blood called moronga. We eat them in tacos. It is delicious but I have to force myself to forget what it's made of lol.
Agreed. Southern American breakfasts are great. I love whites sausage gravy w/ my biscuit. 😊
Norwegian here. Ive been around the world, eaten breakfasts from the far west to the far east, north and south. There is nothing on this earth that beats a full English breakfast. Ps: We have blood pudding here in Norway too, and in Sweden also.
Yes it's all over typical poor people food you can't waste anything if you are poor, i had spanish black pudding once it had plenty of paprika in it was nice. Thanks for your praise of our breakfast worlds greatest hangover cure
And in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, eastern France (German influence?)
@@keithorbell8946 ?
@@daginn896 sorry, I meant that those countries also had some form of blood sausage.
I remember having smoked reindeer meat for breakfast, outside on the banks of Christiaanfiord when I was 4 (a very long time ago now), and rather enjoying it 😉
@@keithorbell8946Oh, you do? I did not know that. Where are you from? Ahh, raindeer. I love raindeer meat, and wild game in general. Its so healthy too.
While visiting Ireland I had a Full Irish Breakfast and it was so hearty that I wasn't hungry for the rest of the entire day. There were no beans, and we had toast or brown bread instead of fried bread, but the rest was the same. The Black Pudding was amazing and I've never had any as good since.
We also have White Pudding (Try Gubbeen, Jack McCarthy or Nolans of Kilcullen etc) which you wont get in a full English. Delicious! My favourite full Irish breakfast is x2 Sausage, x2 Bacon, x3 White Pudding, x3 Black Pudding, x2 Fried Eggs, small pot of beans, a slice of fried bread or one or two Potato farls, No Mushroom (not for me!), Fried quartered Tomatoes (never tinned!) and some sliced white or soda bread on the side with Kerrygold butter. Absolute Bliss...especially when hungover 🤣
@@TheAvarusAnimus (Which is EVERY day if you're Irish! )
@@DMSProduktions Ah come on..that's a stereotype!!! Well, maybe 5 out of 7 days 🤣joking!
when fishing in Ireland we had two of everything bacon as thick as gammon steaks, then came the cereals, two weeks I put on a stone.
@@TheAvarusAnimus Ta be shoor!
Me encanta como explica y el amor por lo que hace que usted trasmite, saludos desde Argentina!🇬🇧🇦🇷
I learned a lot in this video. Thanks for the excellent content.
My god...I’m an American and this is my most favorite breakfast with extra black pudding and mushrooms!
I might try black pudding but you can have the mushrooms.
Did you ever try scrapple I'm PA?
@@MrRShoaf scrapple on bread with yellow mustard is the best.
Cant beat fried mushrooms, preferably in a garlic butter.....my favourite part of a full english breakfast.
I love watching Darren McGrady cook. He explains everything so clearly and simply so you can cook it at home, and he gives a little bit of history.
I am from the UK, living in Canada, so I like how Darren always gives the North American equivalent ingredient, so I know what to look for in the store, and still get a taste of home.
Keep up the great videos Darren!
Thanks Lewis
Idk why but any cooking show starring people from the UK seems so comforting and cozy compared to others. I love it! Whenever I watch Darren or The Great British Bake Off is feel so cozy and warm lol.

Surely you don't mean Gordon Ramsey, I know he was born in Scotland but was brought up in London. I can't stand him nor his faul language. Some people are glutton for punishment.
Hi Lewis.....was watching him cook and I was waiting to see if he deviated from "the script" but he did not.....
@@billgreen1861 you've obviously never watched him cook
I love baked beans but here in America, it's usually served as a side dish or, at bbq's. I want to eat my beans with eggs now haha.
I’ve been to a few “pubs” here in America that serve this. Some offer the blood pudding, most do not (shame!).
I’ve had an “Irish breakfast” as well that is basically this with just a few changes.
I’m always out to find “the one”. The one place that actually does it right. I’ll find it one day.
Great video. You’re a champion of the kitchen and just a great human being. ❤️
When I visited Britain in 1980, every single meal, wherever we went, came with at least one tomato. We began to suspect that the same tomatoes were following us around the country.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Whoever thought about having beans for breakfast was a genius”. Well, sir, we mexicans did it. We’ve done it forever!
All hail Mexicans
Beans for breakfast are great.
Its probably not the same type of beans that we have....
*laughs in explosive farts*
Adding beans on top of gallons of beer...death awaits
This is good to have on a relaxed Sunday Morning.
You’re a wealth of information. Thank you!
I visited England for the first time in 2019, and my breakfast was the highlight of each day!
I love a full English Breakfast so much that I often work it into the stories and novels I write. They're mostly science fiction, but you can bet I've had the starship's chef cook up a proper English Breakfast more than a few times, as well as Bangers and Mash, Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, Welsh Rarebit, and Shepherd's pie, and Toad in the Hole, and Cornish pasties, and other good things. As an American I think English food is very underappreciated, and not as well known as it should be.
Ironically it was the American soldiers based in England during WW2 who created the myth the English food is bad. This was because rationing was in place during the war and food was very limited. Many items weren't available and people had to make do with what's they had. I agree, English cuisine (when cooked correctly) is absolutely wonderful. Fish & chips is my favourite.
@@rain-bender4712 And there was me thinking it was the Romans!
@@davideldred.campingwilder6481 Not really. The 'bad English food' cliche really came into its own during and after WW2.
Darren where have you been my whole life?! Haha excellent video. I can’t wait to make this at home. In my area it might be hard trying to find European bacon, black pudding and traditional bangers but I’m gonna try! Thanks mate!
