I just wanted to add that most people don't have this every day,
apart from possibly builders, labourers who visit greasy spoon
cafes on their way to work. Lol

We have cereals, crumpets, maybe a bacon or sausage sandwich,
eggs, jam on toast etc as well.

By the way I hate black pudding.

I would rarely have a full English as it's just too much to eat in one go for me.
Maybe I will have a smaller version of it at lunch or breakfast every so
often.

Hi just came across this as well and was a little surprised as I thought
you had Nutella in the US.

Sometimes we have this on toast as well, it's hazelnuts and cocoa.

I've been to England several times, and that breakfast of yours is just fantastic:).

Too early for me to look at greasy. I'd get queasy. lol

Hubby's first meal after five months was also his all time favorite breakfast -- fried eggs, grits, and sausage... with a cup of (thickened) coffee. He's happy to have no thickening in his coffee now. Apparently the eggs have to get mixed into the grits. (That first breakfast still makes him smile. lol)

My breakfast? A banana.

But I eat like a Hobbit, and Second Breakfast (two hours later) is cereal. I'm just about ready for Second Breakfast. The cereal today has dried strawberries in it. (Very cool that the strawberries fluff up in the milk.)

We have Nutella. Unfortunately, since the main ingredient is sugar, WE don't have Nutella. lol

The first video refers to Americans having all sorts of sweet and
savoury things for breakfast, so I was wondering what.

Very occasionally we might have pancakes or waffles but it's not something
most would have at home. Usually it would be in a cafe etc.

I had an Egg-Normous breakfast burrito from Burger King this morning on the way back from my Dad's Pulmonologist appointment. I enjoyed all 910 calories of it.

...things like this are why I am a tub of fat.

One of my favorite cereals is imported from England LOLOLOL

It is called Morning Crisp :) I like all the berries in it, and the fact that it is pretty natural.

I can often buy it for under 5 dollars a box, which seems a good price.

I found this one recently also, which attracted me for perhaps obvious reasons:

Haha, no, not because it is purple! Though honestly that never hurts :)

It was quite a bit more expensive and not as tasty, but I don't have
to eat as much of it either. Even the Morning Crisp is very hearty
and keeps me feeling well fed for hours :D

I really like English Breakfast Tea a bunch, what I have been buying
at the 'discount from the discount', is called 'St. Dalfour'... really good,
plus all of those 'anti-oxidants'...a really good morning drink without
the heavy caffeine...Thank ya'll for sharing' your 'TEA' with us!...

Our standard breakfast is two eggs, bacon and an English muffin, which is really not English at all from what I understand.

Serious correction needs to be made in this video. Heinz is NOT British. It's American. Matter of fact, it comes from my state -- Pennsylvania. When we say ketchup, we're picturing Heinz ketchup. Heinz is a very famous name in this country, and one of our Senators was Heinz, from the same family. When he died, his wife took his office. If I'm not mistaken she's a Washington insider now. (politician. Not sure if she's still a Senator, since Heinz is also from the other side of our state, so isn't our local politician.)

One of our favorite places to go locally is the Heinz bird sanctuary.

Also, please know Heinz baked beans? Not our better brands for baked beans. In the world of canned baked beans, it is the stuff kids would eat. Kind of like they prefer canned spaghetti and meat sauce over real spaghetti with meat sauce.

Then again, the only American I know who would eat baked beans for breakfast was my dad, but he'd eat it with cold fried fish or cold pizza. (Not traditional for breakfast here either.)

Also, have to ask, do y'all ever eat chocolate/vanilla/tapioca/butterscotch pudding? Pudding is a sweet desert for us -- something like a children's version of custard. Yours always seem to be made of anything but puddingly stuff. lol

(Nighttime, so I can face what you eat for breakfast now, because that's dinner to me.)

Got to say though fried bread? Sounds great, but in an entirely unhealthy way.

I must admit I do like my peanut butter
I buy this brand as they do not add sugar to it and the ingredients are organic.

Yeah. I just love jam or apple butter and crunchy style PB with chocolate syrup (Used to use Nutella but NO. Bad).

I knew Heinz wasn't British, the Z at the end is the give away! But I didn't know it was
American.

I dont really eat things like tapioca, sago pudding etc. It's an old standing joke from
childhood that it resembles frogspawn and it put me off for life!

When I was young there was an old quarry several miles away called Chippys Quarry
(I don't know who Chippy was. Lol) but it had a lake with loads of frogs and toads
and tadpoles.

We use to go catching them and bring them home, along with lots of other things.
We put them in an upside bin lid full of water, but they had this annoying habbit
of going walkies (jumpies) overnight :D


Fried bread, fabulous but very unhealthy. Better still fried egg bread which is more
healthy. You whip up some eggs, dip slices of bread into them and fry them in just a little oil.

Oh last year I switched to this brand, it makes a nice cuppa but it's
caffeine free. Unlike most caffeine free products, you can't tell the difference with this.

I still like boiled eggs and soldiers from my child hood.
The soldiers being the strips of toast you dip into it. :D

They have a chocolate covered cereal, hmmm, yes, all natural healthy brand let's smother it with chocolate. Totally not appealing! I prefer the berry ones. Sometimes the Very Berry is not available and then I will get the one with just strawberries in it; that is a great second choice :) I have tried a similar brand from America but did not like it anywhere near as much, and looking it up now, discover they were promoting Kashi as all natural when they used genetically modified soy in it :p

The Ezekiel cereal is made from sprouted grains :D

On the weekend I might have an eggy breakfast, like an omelette, or
