Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a CZcams video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Membership. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

Back bacon, fried eggs, pork sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, and fried bread with a large mug of tea is my preference when it comes to a Full English breakfast.
Forget the fried bread and substitute hash browns. Then add an apple at the end.
One of the best things about being retired from work is that i can take my time over the first meal of the day - usually mid-morning. No more shoving bits of toast into my mouth as I dash out of the house first thing.
I've got ten more years to do. I can't wait to not have an alarm in a morning, and getting up to do my own thing. 41 years of work makes you dream of retirement lol.
So true. Since covid and working from home (almost) all the time, I have 'breakfast' some time between 9 and 11 and it can be literally anything I fancy, then nothing else until tea time. For me that is usually a pasta dish but it varies. I gave up cereal for breakfast a long time ago because I found it made me ravinously hungry at midday so I would end up eating too much for lunch.
One of my big treats these days in retirement is a monthly visit to a local caff to get a great English Breakfast , fried bread , bacon , eggs , sausages , beans , fried potatoes and loads of toast . Nothing sweet for me please no never not for breakfast . Pancakes with maple syrup great for tea not a breakfast for us in the UK .
In no universe, anywhere, ever, are chips a legitimate UK breakfast food. I WILL die on this hill! 😂
100% right, chips have NO place on the breakfast plate. I'll join you on that hill.
I will be the next to fall on this hill.
I'll make chips but won't add them to bacon, egg, sausage and a fried slice.
@@mewsli For breakfast? No thanks!
Indeed!
"When I'm at Gatwick I always have a full English and a pint." You may be the perfect woman ;-)
I'm going to add kippers with bread and butter to the list of English breakfasts although I'm aware that very few people now eat kippers - I think this is due to the herring fishing ban between 1977 and 1982. Kippers are awesome and cheap!
Kippers are yum, plenty of butter, + some peas
Kippers for breakfast, yes please.
@@davidrenton Peas? Are you mad?
Did we have an embargo on Denmark at the time?
Smoke me a kipper, skipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
- Good morning, Poirot.
- Bonjour, Hastings.
- Is that all you're having?
- What more is there to have?
- A decent English breakfast.
- And what is that, Hastings?
- Well, porridge, two eggs, sausage, bacon, tomato, toast and marmalade,
and a pot of tea. That's what I had, anyway.
As a retired Brit, during the winter months my go to breakfast is porridge oats with blueberries and banana or strawberry, sweetened with clear honey
In my case, brown sugar, raisins, dried cranberries, pecans, and heavy cream or butter. Heavy cream is a game changer of oatmeal...but then I need to take a lactose pill. Sadly became lactose intolerant in my 60's.
Being Canadian, I would have to say that I have had breakfast both in the U.S. and the U.K. and have to say that the U.K. wins the contest. The full English breakfast has always been a treat for me when I visit, but as you mention, I could not eat that every day (perhaps twice while on a 2 week trip).
We normally have the full English on a Saturday or Sunday morning - not every day mate.
Only a maniac eats a full English every day. It's generally a weekend treat, for many only one day, and others even less often. It is a grand breakfast though.
Gross
@@randorama1588 Some people who do hard physical work do.
I never eat breakfast but I do love most British breakfast foods. I'm not sure I'd be able to stomach many American-style breakfast foods, even if served later in the day - far too sweet!
Thanks for the video as always Alanna!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Recce's Puffs cereal is literally my favourite cereal (it isn't sweet and the puffs stay crunchy in milk). Lucky charms is my 2nd favourite cereal (its sweet but its bearable). 3rd favourite is curiously cinnamon from Britain
Porridge!
I don't know how anyone can eat all that sugar. I don't eat breakfast at all, unless it's a special day like Christmas day (smoked salmon and champagne), but if I did it wouldn't be sweet stuff. Probably some oats with milk.
A fry up isn’t a blow out without fried bread.
During the week toast and honey or marmalade and coffee
An Adventures and Naps video about breakfast? Yes, please!
🙏
When working in London I would always buy a sausage and egg sandwich from the same cafe on my way to work about 6.30 am. By the second week as I walked past the cafe would have one ready for me as I walked past. Pay on Friday. This is a great example of how you get engaged in a community.
Breakfast priorities - what I most regularly have, starting with most frequent choice:
1 Coffee
2 Coffee
3 one of the following:
a) porridge (made with water), chopped fresh fruit to sweeten
b) uncooked oats with yoghurt, seeds and lots of chopped fresh fruit
b) toast with butter and homemade jam or marmalade and a piece of fresh fruit on the side
4 Far less often (instead of any of the items under 3 above) scrambled egg on toast, poached egg with avocado on toast, mushrooms on toast, or some combination of these.
5 Full english/fry up only on holiday, maybe once or twice a year (simpler version of fry up for lunch at home more often).
6 Far too rarely (because don't have the luxury of domestic staff to make it for me) delicious tasty kedgeree. Will make this for lunch or dinner instead sometimes .
100 % agree that hash browns make an excellent addition to a full English!! However you keep missing out fried bread!! The ultimate part of a fry up!! Also bizarrely Americans don't eat boiled eggs and soldiers!
Not for me but I agree fried bread every time
We eat boiled eggs, just not for breakfast, scrambled usually
Not for me either, it's just too much.
As far as I'm concerned, a full English isn't "full" unless it includes fried bread...
@@stevemoss7793 key to good fried bread is to butter both sides before frying!!
A full English breakfast is a rare treat on the odd weekend. Having them a couple of times a week would give you some problems eventually lol, especially mine as I love fried bread.
Breakfast? Natural yogurt with cinnamon swirled through it. Flax sprinkled over the top, a scattering of dried cranberries, toasted flaked almonds and candid ginger. Topped with 2 types of fruit - whatever I fancy. Grapefruit, apples, orange, blueberries...
And most of it is organic. My dream breakfast that I enjoyed as my normal breakfast.
As a Brit, I do enjoy a Denny’s breakfast when over in the US. I particularly like their hash browns, not the factory formed versions common here in the UK.
In the US the pancakes and waffles and other sugary items on the Denny's menu are only part of the menu. Many of us go to diners and have variations on eggs, bacon/sausage with hash browns or other versions of potatoes with toast/ muffins, etc. Much more toward the savory area and not so much the sweet stuff. In the south the potatoes are often replaced by grits.
I’m from the US! We very rarely do anything sweet. Our breakfast usually is comprised of scrambled eggs and oatmeal with fruit and a side of toast:) Oatmeal is the biggest staple in our house!
Oatmeal ? its called Porridge.....
@@mikepxg6406did you literally say that to a American 🤣🤣🤣.
It would be one thing if it was a fellow Brit but a American 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scottish pancakes are the same as American pancakes
It was a shock to the system to this Brit to be served savoury food for breakfast in the US, dusted in icing sugar and with strawberries on the side.
Same!
Toast and marmalade and coffee is the way to start the day. Cheers Alana for a great video.😊
Thanks for watching!
The other day, I stopped at a roadchef on M5 to have a full English breakfast for lunch. It was amazing. I had to get off the road again half an hour later, though, because I was falling asleep after consuming so many calories.
I love cornflakes with a sliced banana on top.
My nana used to say it doesn't matter what you have for breakfast, as long as you have breakfast
I agree with your comment about airport food, and I have often had a cooked breakfast before leaving the UK for a while. However, I've changed my mind (not least because a heavy fry-up is not great to fly on as you are sitting down for so long). So now I recommend Wagamama at the airport, who do a British *kedgeree,* a really traditional cooked British breakfast containing curried rice, fish and an egg. Wagamama's kedgeree has a slight Japanese twist as they use a katsu curry rather than the traditional British curry powder, and a poached egg rather than a hard-boiled egg.
Kedgeree is nice, not had it for years
I can't remember the last time I had a breakfast. The last thing I think of doing in the first few hours of waking up is eat or drink anything apart from tea or coffee.
Okay so for years when I was growing up, my breakfast consisted of tea & toast, but I would fold the toast and dip it in my tea.
Now I have a bowl of porridge with blueberries and honey, a banana sandwich on brown or 50/50 and a mug of tea; sometime I’ll add a couple of crumpets with butter (actually Flora spread).
The Dream Breakfast - 2 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, mushrooms, black pudding, white pudding, tinned toms, 2 hash browns, fried bread and about a pint of coffee along with some juice. REALITY Breakfast - 3 cigarettes and a kit-kat.
Breakfast of champions!
Three cigarettes and a Kit Kat lol 🤣
Then off to pick up benefit and a trip to Poundland no doubt. :)
@mikepxg6406 I wish Mike! It's the stress of having a small company that means I need to generate the income to pay 4 people every month. We are profitable, but it still gives me anxiety!
@@GiantHaystack
A very nice return serve 😉
I have a overnight refrigerated porridge made with almond milk, 0% greek style yoghurt, clear honey with mixed nuts and mixed berries but once every 4 months, I do have a cooked breakfast at the harvester.
English fry ups are a treat - generally we eat low sugar cereals, low calorie smoothies, yogurt with fruit, toast for breakfast
As a afterthought, I call French toast, bread dipped in beaten egg and shallow fried or grilled, which may differ from what you call it xx
When my colleaques and I was visiting UK, it was the best part of the day every day. It keept us going strong. We was also in US and hated the sweet extra large breakfast. Shuggar got you high but slammed you down hard very quickly.
I've just had a triple decker (3 slices of bread) sandwich with sausage, black pudding and a runny egg! with my dog watching every bite with an intensity that's unnerving and of course he gets the corners lol! Good video Lass really enjoyed it!
In the winter I like porridge Scottish style. Scottish style means with salt and cream. No sugar. No fruit. Otherwise (or occasionally also) I have buttered toast with marmalade or marmite.
Great video Alanna. Have you considered doing a full English vs full Scottish breakfast comparison (and indeed Welsh and Irish variants)?
Great idea!
Was just thinking this ! Nice bit of haggis, potato cake, Lorne sausage or even a buttery !
They're all the same thing with a few tweaks! Celts love to blab on about their culture, so why the need to steal something English, modify it slightly and pretend it's something different? It's pathetic. (I'm Irish BTW.)
The Welsh breakfast would have to be skipped, or only feed to the butler, as it contains cockles, a shellfish, and Alanna's allergic.
@@Dionysos640 fried Soda bread beats the others just on it's own.
Porridge (oatmeal for the foreigners). Add some dried fruit (not too much) and quarter teaspoon of mixed spice. made with milk. That’s if I want anything more than a glass of water.
Not to mention regional delicacies - Arbroath Smokies, decent Kippers, Hog's Pudding from Cornwall and Devon potato hash.
I’m from Texas and a go to dream of a breakfast are breakfast tacos! They are literal heaven.
Here common go to’s are
- cereal
- eggs
- bagels
- donuts (a lot of people get donuts and kolaches (kind of like sausage rolls here) on a Friday)
- biscuit rolls and sausage gravy are a sometimes
- oatmeal
- yogurt with granola and fruit
- and of course it is true Americans love pancakes, waffles, and French toast but people aren’t eating that on the regular. More weekend treats
French Toast is called Eggy Bread or Gypsy Toast in the UK.
Excellent video. I too usually start the day with a boring cereal (porridge) and tea breakfast, though often accompanied by a cheese toastie. Full English fry ups are an occasional luxury.
Hi Alanna,on holiday I will start with porridge followed by Bacon, mushrooms and scrambled egg with toast…washed down with coffee.
Back at home sometimes I don’t bother,another morning it might be toast..but always coffee.cheers Roly🇬🇧.
It's funny, I never used to bother with breakfast but as I've gotten older I much prefer a decent sized breakfast, a light lunch and a proper evening meal. A personal favourite? Some bacon or a few slices of smoked sausage fried up until crispy, whisk up two or three eggs before chucking them into the pan as well, scramble up until fluffy and then serve on a couple of rounds of thick sourdough toast (with plenty of salt and pepper). Takes only a few minutes, delicious!
Breakfast mostly depends on your job in the UK, I'm a builder, usally I don't have time for breakfast first thing in the morning, maybe just a bit of toast (with real butter) and marmalade or marmite with a coffee to wake me up, but when at work, around 10,15am I would normally go to a cafe or canteen for a full English, very rarely in London have I seen an office worker sitting down in a cafe at that time, they tend to go for a takeaway coffee plus a sandwich or Croissant, I believe most offices have kitchen facilities these days, where the microwave gets a good bashing, tea/coffee also made on site.
Sausage, back bacon, fried toast, mushrooms, fried egg, and tinned toms are my choice, but grilled toms if no tinned available. Tinned tom juice on the toast is a must. Either OJ or tea to wash it down.
A great Welsh breakfast is Bara te. Take a bowl, chuck in crusty chopped up bread, a good strong cheese, cut to thumb sized blocks and pour in the tea of choice.
I skip breakfast during the week and get something from the van that calls mid morning. One of the weekend days I go for a Toby Carvery breakfast, the other I have American choc chip pancakes :)
For the last 4 years I have consumed the same breakfast every morning. Two hard cooked eggs, sliced and heated in butter, salt, and pepper. Two slices of bacon, One sausage patty. Two sausage links. 3 oz of SPAM. And a coffee. I guess I'm a Texan who eats like a Brit.
No - sounds like you're a Texan that eats like 2 Brits!😄😄
Well I doubt I could eat that much but it sounds great, I sometimes have canned corned beef and poached eggs, kind of like a corned beef hash without the potatoes, not that I have anything against potatoes but they are too high in carbs for my keto diet.
ugh spam...
@@clivebrealey6795Ooof!
SPAM SPAM SPAM and EGGS!
The full English breakfast is a wonderful thing. Being from the Southeastern US my preferred breakfast would be eggs with sausage or bacon grits and toast (with hot sauce on the side). The grits served farther north that are sweetened are heresy! They should be served with salt, pepper and butter . More often I get a McDonalds sausage biscuit. This is making me hungry.
UK person here...most of the time I have Jordans raisin + almond Granola, and fruit juice (orange, tropical etc). Bagels sometimes .. anything with carbohydrates to give u energy. Bacon, eggs, beans and so on sometimes at the weekend
I have a pitta bread cut open to make a pouch, then put a soft cheese triangle 🔺️ in the pouche - put it in toaster to heat up to melt the cheese 🧀- extract from toaster carefully reopen pouch with fork and shovel in choice of chutney - I love caramalised onion chutney ( but whichever you prefer).
- re- close pitta bread and leave to cool to eat - GORGEOUS 😍 😋
Wonderful morning or bedtime.
My ultimate, once or twice a month, would be: corned beef hash, 2 eggs (over easy), hash browns, and either sourdough or rye toast. Then at home Breakfast varies between cereal, toast, scrambled egg sandwich with cheese, and then anything left over from the night before or whatever tickles my fancy that morning.
The best is a British breakfast, it starts with Porage Oats served with Jersey Breakfast milk for the starter, Then we have Fried Egg with a pink yolk on Fried Bread (Which has been cooked last to absorb the bacon and tomato juice left in the frying pan smoked back bacon, beef sausage Fried tomatoes, baked beans with a sprinkle of chilli powder stirred in. Some people have black pudding and or hash browns. This followed by Dundee Marmalade on toast. This is all washed down with down with Yorkshire Tea and Jersey Breakfast Milk.
My ideal breakfast - bacon, sausage, poached egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, hash browns, toast. What I actually eat - yep - cereal .
Londoner here. I don't eat 'til after I've been awake for a few hours, and then it's usually an oat-based granola bar with dried fruit and a banana. If I do have a full English, it's perhaps twice a year, and never at breakfast time, most likely for lunch. I can't eat anything heavy, or sweet or dairy for breakfast; I find it nauseas. Mid-morning/lunch I like crumpets with marmite, or occasionally eggs or beans on toast.
An Ulster Fry with all the meats, mushrooms and tomatoes with no beans.
That means, both potato and soda farls, pork sausage, steak sausage, veggie roll, both black and white pudding and a fried egg on my soda
Normally I have two slices of toast, one with marmite one with marmalade and two cups of tea.
Brit here...and if I see full English on a menu next to American pancakes, eggs and bacon...its gonna all depend on if there's maple syrup or not!
Hi Alanna,
I'm boringly British but and while my favourite quick breakfast is a croissant with bacon & cheese (yes, I like American-style crispy bacon, and it has to be be a non-pasteurised-milk French or Swiss cheese such as Comte or Gruyere) I think probably the greatest breakfast which I will make on a weekend is eggs Benedict. Thus the Americans win!
It's nearly 9:30PM and I've eaten a decent tea, but somehow I now want breakfast....
Love a good A&N food video!
At home, it's 2 Weetabix with hot milk, stirred to a puree-like state, sugar sprinkled on top - you can always add sugar to your own taste with low-sugar cereals. Plus coffee.
When in hotels, it's either a full English breakfast (fried eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, tomatoes) or just oatmeal (with sugar added to taste) Always plus coffee.
It can confuse US hotels when you don't have a giant breakfast. About 15 years ago, I was staying in a brand new hotel in Oakland, California and I was often the only one at breakfast, so I got to know the host. After a couple of days, she stopped charging me because it was only $1.50 and then I'd add a $1.50 tip because I felt it would be insulting to put just $0.25 or so on. I'd love to have breakfasts for under $5 nowadays. I stayed at a hotel in the UK in 2023 that had a flat rate £30 for breakfast - there weren't many people at breakfast except business people on expenses.
Ok. Weetabix is the absolute perfect vessel for cut up fruits like banana and atrawberry. Add a bit of sugar, and its one of the best probably. Weetabix absolutely is made to add other stuff to it.
Full Scottish breakfast is my favourite. Basically the same as English breakfast except you swap out the Hash Browns for Potato Scones. We also have lorne sausage which is kind-of like a burger but made of beef + pork mince, coriander (spice not herb), and white pepper; rather than the sort of sausages you find in England. I do like good English sausages as well though. Also black pudding and white pudding.
Usually I have fried eggs and potato cakes or potato farls. I generally can't find potato scones in England, and those are the closest equivalent I can buy. The big Sainsburys sometimes has actual potato scones, and I always buy them when they have them. Or sometimes I get a bacon roll from Greggs, if I am going past one on the way to work, usually that isn't an option though.
If you are in England, you can find a full Scottish breakfast at Hilton hotels, because until fairly recently, Hilton was two different companies, one covering the USA and the other covering the rest of the world, and the rest of the world one was headquartered in Glasgow.
You can get non-knock-off pop tarts in the regular food section of most large supermarkets. Probably they have less sugar than American ones though.
Weetabix w/fill fat milk and sliced bananas. Can of Beans with grated cheddar cheese on top - then under the grill to melt the cheese. Yum
Work days - toast with pate and a cup of tea. Weekends - toasted egg and bacon sandwich..
I worked in Construction in the 80's/90/s We had a big fry up every morning .. But not until around 09.30/10.00 .. this is the right time for it.. not too early
For me, full English is a special treat eaten only staying in a hotel or B&B (ideally with black pudding). Otherwise I stick to the quick healthy option of raw oats with milk and a splash of honey.
UK here. Porridge for weekday breakfast. Fruit and/or golden syrup optional.
Breakfast burrito is pretty common in the USA usually cheese, eggs, and sausage. Most of the time bigger breakfasts are weekend thing. (Savory and Sweet mix up is a thing in the US.....its the reason PB&J is a thing)
Essential video - thanks! Main points: 1. USA coffee creamer plastic pots everywhere - ugh! Show me a jug of fresh milk! 2. IHOP tasted plastic to me, start with Denny's and go up from there, such as Cracker Barrel for better breakfast experience stateside. 3. Yes instead of asking you what you want for breakfast, an American host will ask you "how do you want your eggs?" - Do I want eggs? I didn't know this. 4. Most cereals are extended forms of consuming milk and sugar. These days I find my brain works better in the morning if I do have some protein first thing - plus coffee. The most carbs I have is porridge like a Scotsman.
A lot of people like mexican food but i don't hear a lot of talk about mexican breakfast. Chilaquiles, egg and chorizo burritos, or just refried beans with fried eggs and pickled jalapeños. Those are good breakfasts!
I always thought crumpets were the equivalent of our English muffins in America. Boy was i wrong! Crumpets are divine though. ❤
My Normal Breakfast is - Cornflakes (no sugar) and semi skimmed milk, Marmite toast with a cut of Mature Cathedral City Cheese and Bean to Cup Coffee.
My Dream Breakfast would be - English Fried (2 Bacon Slices, Cold Beans, Mushrooms, Tomato, Fried Toast (bread) Hash Brown but no sausages) and a Filtered Coffee.
What is it with syrup in the USA?
Often had to start working at stupid O clock, one factory I used to travel to offered a spectacular breakfast in their canteen, to get there for a 6am start meant leaving home at 2am. Breakfast was at 8am, a slice of toast, a slice of Spam, cheese, a fried egg, all on top of each other and a large mug of tea. Almost made up for the early start.
I prefer Toast'ems because I think they are a little thinner without so much dry crust around the edges that Pop Tarts have. Also I like them warmed in the toaster - so much better warm. And actually Toast'ems is not a knock off but was invented first(the process for making the dehydrated squares). After they announced it Post cereal rushed to copy it. They came in the mid 1960's when I was a teenager & I liked them.
Since I retired, breakfast is my favourite meal because I no longer have to rush. However, what I eat is not exactly exciting. Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with blueberries or porridge and blueberries when it is cold, followed by brown bread toast with a spread (Bertolli (because I don't like butter), chocolate and Hazelnut Spread, cheese spread, peanut butter, or peanut butter and jam), and always a glass of juice, usually Clementine, or maybe Orange. Sometimes, I might have crumpets, bagels, or croissants on rare occasions. I always take my time eating breakfast, having previously taken it on the go (a couple of pieces of toast to eat in the car). To me, it's not what I eat that is important, but that it is a calm and relaxing start to my day.
Have you tried the American breakfast at 'spoons yet Alanna? I tried it recently. Well, my son ordered it so I joined in!
Great rule of thumb , go to your nearest building site and ask any scaffolder where the best cafe / greasy spoon is . You will not be disappointed, most of them have a fry up before they start work most days
I have Scots Poridge Oats with honey in it , hotel breakfast on the first and last day , definitely a full English with everything apart from the hash browns
As a kid I always had cereal with a spoonful of sugar sprinkled on. As an adult, my sweet tooth has chilled out and I don’t bother. But that was the hack to save the bland cereal here.
I'm from Burnaby, BC, Canada (next to Vancouver) and I've had plenty of savoury breakfasts. When I was in Scouting our go-to breakfasts on weekend camps were bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns on Saturday morning; and gruel/oatmeal made with water on Sunday morning (we wanted an easy cleanup on leaving day). I've had both of these breakfasts at home, though I put milk in my oatmeal (our milk has added sugar).
Great video! As a kid I was partial to bacon egg and cheese biscuits from McDonalds, as an adult I'm fond of home fries. I'm having breakfast for dinner tonight!
Best breakfast: Scrambled eggs with melted cheese and a slice of onion all on a toasted bagel. Don't need to eat again until mid-afternoon, even when skiing. Yum! Those Denny's Slams look like an attempt at a "Full American Breakfast."
2:30 We had pop-tarts in UK. We called them the Spice Girls.
My favourite weekend breakfast is Eggs Benedict. Two poached eggs on a toasted muffin, homemade Hollandaise sauce, and one or more of bacon, sausage, fried mushrooms and grilled tomatoes.
Great vlog Alanna ❤ I have a sweet tooth so I prefer the American breakfast. Pancakes 🥞 and bacon 🥓 with warm maple syrup...lush 😍 As I have my breakfast once I get to work it's either a porridge pot or a yoghurt with some grapes and nuts thrown in, not the most exciting of breakfasts 😂 While holidaying in Florida, one day we went to Dennys for breakfast, there was a chap at the next table eating steak 🥩...for breakfast 😲 I'm sure he would of loved the good old British fry up 🍳🥓🍞
Judging from the amount of emojis, by 'work', you mean 'school'?
I love a fry up: bacon, eggs, beans (mikeed til there soft-hate hard beans, oh and not heinz, thy are too liquidy, wernt always), mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding and for ease (hate frying chips, for the mess), hash browns. Tip: 3 0r 4 cycles in the toaster does them !
Bacon...Egg...Fried Bread...tomatoes...the staple ingredients of an English breakfast....trouble is when I wake up I hardly have an appetite which is really frustrating.😊
My usual breakfast is two fried eggs on buttered toast - but I add chilli flakes to the vegetable oil that I fry the eggs in. :)
I'm British and I rarely eat breakfast. If I am on holiday in the UK I do love a full English (minus the beans and fried bread) or Kellogg's All-Bran...
The Pancake Cafe in Madison, Wisconsin... OMG they do the best Hash Browns with Scrambled Eggs and Sausage Patties... with of course a side of Pancakes lavished with strawberries and cream! My fave out of the UK breakfast ever!!
Airport pint at breakfast seems to be such a British thing, I tend to do it just to signal the start of a holiday and maybe just to calm the anxiety of travelling with a group of people, probably wouldn't do it alone.
Great vid this week Alanna ..Great snacks..👍👍
Lately I've been eating some high-fibre cereal with yoghurt (instead of milk) followed by a carrot with hummus. Unless I'm in a hurry, in which case a prepackaged tuna and rice thing followed by a protein bar. And always a cup of tea.
When working (now retired) my breakfast was almost always 2 cups of tea washing down two slices of toast. The idea of putting syrup near ANY savoury food makes my flesh creep.
In retirement I can either have a fry up, Eggs, bacon, sausages with tomatoes and toast/fried bread and lots of tea....or a bowl of Rice Krispies with milk NO sugar added.
Summer time, that'll be cereal (granola or muesli) with fruit during the working week and maybe bacon and egg at the weekend. Winter, I prefer warm, savoury food, this morning was two poached eggs on buttered toasted crumpets :)
Sometimes make pancakes(not sweet, just egg, rye flour, ground almonds, splash of milk) and have those with peanut butter and banana. Sometimes an omelette and crackers. Most often either 2 fried, or hard-boiled eggs, whatever cheeses I have open, crackers, fresh fruits, a spoon of peanut butter. Water, then a mug of decaff tea or coffee.
Toast with Marmite, Tea. Sometimes bacon and fried tomato in a section of baguette on a Sunday. Holidays or time away are when I have a full English or fruit juice with cereal or fresh fruit. Sometimes Crumpets at home or croissants once a month. If you don't have time get up earlier 🤣🤣
Cereal (organic) with fruit and tea will do it for me in a pinch. I enjoy a Full English but it's not for every day. However, one of the best breakfasts I've ever had was in Las Vegas, USA - pancakes, bacon, syrup - before a flight back to the UK. That was phenomenal!
Pop tarts were a thing in the UK, pretty popular in the late 80s,through the 90s but seemed to die out early 2000s. Along with all the brightly coloured highly sweetened cereals that are still prevalent n the Americas . And believe it or not a lot of British people have things like waffles or pancakes on their breakfast rota quite regularly. Probably a few times a month. Which is probably how often most Brits will have a full cooked fried breakfast. You will get people who have a fry up every day. You will get people who have it once or twice a week. Some twice a month. And some people who never have it. My wife and I like like to rotate what we have for breakfast regularly, we try not to have the same thing more than twice a week. We've even been known to have leftover takeaway for a Saturday morning 'i can't be arsed' breakfast - Indian curry, Chinese, pizza, kebab etc. I
At the end of the day whatever you have for a breakfast,it all goes down the one hole, and comes out of the other. Whatever you have, just enjoy it.
Greggs, either a sausage roll or a steak slice (depends on the hunger) Fruit & Fibre cereal or toast if at home (with Peanut Butter & Marmite (yes together))
The Americans favour Eggs, but what with? like an Omelette or will it have cheese on it and 10 other ingredients
Daily breakfast, bowl of porridge and cup of fresh coffee.
I will occasionally do bacon, fried egg and slice of lorne sausage in a bread roll or as a toastie.
Can't stand too much sweet for breakfast and tend to have hot buttery toast as a late night snack, especially in winter when a fires going.
Going back many years a traditional English breakfast ( in upper class households) would include kippers ( smoked herring fish) and kedgeree ( smoked fish, hard boiled eggs and rice with curry spice). I think you're correct about the sweet/savoury divide ( until it comes to cereal).
Kedgeree was relatively popular when I was younger. Can't say I've heard anyone mention it in at least 20 years. Certainly not my favourite.
We are British ( and Canadian citizens) we lived in Ontario for 12 years and moved back home in 2021. We go out for a fry up once a week. We did the same in Canada usually on Saturday morning.Sometimes on Sunday as did everyone else as we normally had to queue for a table. The Grille on Queensway, Etobicoke, On. was a particular favourite.
I would usually order the Hungry Man , "4 large eggs prepared your way served with bacon, ham and sausages and our famous home fries and 3 pieces of Texas toast". If I was particularly peckish I would order the Hungry Mo Fo, " A breakfast for those of you with an itch that you just can't scratch.This bad boy has all the traditional heart clogging goodness of the Hungry Man with a side of pancakes of French toast. Perfection at its finest ". I just read online that The Grille closed permanently in July last year they obviously struggled to survive after we moved back to Blighty in 2021 !!
