What's your favourite greasy spoon cafe?

Here is a question for all you fried breakfast eaters.

Do you think the sausage should be used as breakwater between the egg and the beans?

my kitchen

i must blow my own trumpet and say i do a freaking mean full on english every sunday
bacon egg sausage hash browns beans mushies and slow fried caramalised onions

i usually need 2 plates to store it all but i don't eat again all sunday

@ tommy NO NO NO sausages are the barrier to stop the beans and the onions fighting

I'm going to go with home cooked>greasy spoon always.

Here is a question for all you fried breakfast eaters.

Do you think the sausage should be used as breakwater between the egg and the beans?

What kind of egg are you having here. Poached, fried or scrambled?

Fried goes on top of one piece of toast and any yolk spillage is primed for an easy wpie up at the end. Poached goes on top of a fried slice for the same principle. Scrambled has to mix with the bean sauce really. A sausage is never a meritable breakwater for egg unless it's one of those shitty pink ones that you weren't going to eat anyway. Best option is either the mushrooms or the tomato. The onions will suffice at a pinch.

More importantly, Ketchup or HP?

"Minor criticism - more distance between the eggs and the beans…um…I may want mix them, but I want that to be my decision…use a sausage as a breakwater…"

More importantly, Ketchup or HP?

Both, brown for black pudding, red for sausages.

nah, brown for meat, red for egg

Bit wanky and has the wrong clientele for a true greasy spoon, but Papa Dels in Highgate - as well as being the pizza place for North drinks - does a mean breakfast menu. £4 - £5, depending on whether you arrive before midday.

The standard English breakfast involves good homemade baked beans, but I go for the "American breakfast" with poached eggs, on top of bacon, on top of eggy bread, x2, served with maple syrup and salad (ha!).

Also, has anyone ever had a potato scone south of the border?

Maggies in Lewisham
£4.50

Make Your Own (As much as you can eat)
Egg (scrambled/fried/poached), Sausage, Bacon, Mushrooms, Fried Slice, Black Pudding, Liver, Fried Onions, Chips, Beans, Bubble, Hash Browns, Tomatoes (tinned/grilled), Ham, Toast, Tea or Coffee

All the while being circled by waitresses constantly refilling your mug with the weakest milkiest coffee you can imagine.

This sounds fucking amazing, I am salivating at the thought of an AYCE fried breakfast.

Oh and finally:

It's in Llanberis but they serve their tea in pints.

Agree with Pellicci and the Regency (the woman in there is hilarious!)... Used to love Mike's Cafe on Blenheim Crescent 'til they got rid of the booths and went all poncified... Gina's on Bethnal Green Road used to be amazing too, the two-plate mixed-grill was something to marvel at... I'm going back a long, long time tho'...

It explains why there are so many fat people in Lewisham. ;)

If your looking for a high class, upmarket, but still utilitarian breakfast/brunch I've been to Breads Etc once on clapham high st, really good, bit on the expensive side, but with speciality breads, a toaster on the table and good sized sausages, it was a winner for me.

Rapscallion slightly less expensive, but not by much, my current favourite brunch haunt, eggs benedict with ham and spinach, extra sausages and mushrooms, yours for like eleven quid, sit by the window watch the people go buy, read sports section, think about where I'll ride later that afternoon, perfect start to a saturday..

cheaper about a fiver, but a great sized portion and good range of meaty options, fantasia cafe in clapham old town, just down from the starbucks , and the prince of wales. Been there a couple of times, good food, fast service and won't break the pocket when hungover...

great breakfasts for the win..

Sausage is always the breakwater. I like the choice.

I think the breakfast in weatherspoons is pretty damn good, considering it is only £3 as well.

Bruno's on Wardour st, breakfast ain't too shabby and the banter is always top notch.

Here is a question for all you fried breakfast eaters.

Do you think the sausage should be used as breakwater between the egg and the beans?

Beans shouldn't be on the place. they should be replaced with grilled tomatos and extra black pudding.
beans belong on Jacket spuds and toast but never to dilute the golden joy that is the freshly broken pipping hot yolk!

Banners in Crouch end! bubble and squeek + a spicey mexican version. you can also have a bloody mary to wash it down.. as a replacement for those filthy beans!

Ohhh yeah bubble, really makes a fry up but a bit of a rarity.

Dinos opposite Marylebone Station is great.

More fry-ups here: this will make you hungry.

Has to be made with left over veg and potatoes. I am not down with this people who make it fresh, these people are sick, they should be taken in the dark of night, tied up in cars and surrounded by gas cannisters.. even that's too good for them. they are a disgrace and should be made to work at subways the twisted fucks

call that a brew! the bag should be left in with a spare one on the side!.. These people are sick! they disgust me!

get in... don't ask me how i found it.. just admire the interweb....

+1 Fresh bubble is not bubble. people complain about pedophiles and terrorist, I'm more worried about these heathens that don't use left overs for their bubble.
