A white pudding in Scotland is mainly oatmeal - no blood products etc., and it is more like a stuffing. Often served in fish and chip shops, battered, the white pud is a fine addition to many savoury meals, but not the full English breakfast, or even the Full Scottish for that matter.

Yeah black and white pudding mostly seem to come as a pair here in NI. I didnt really know that the rest of the country didnt have white pudding before this tbh. We also have potato (and soda) bread which most don't.

I would say fried bread is definitely more traditional than toast. My Nan always cooked fried bread with her cooked breakfast (all 8 ingredients the same as those listed - guess that’s why I got 8 out of 8). It was easier to just fry the bread in the pan after cooking than toasting the bread. (She didn’t have a toaster so done toast one side at a time when we had beans on toast for lunch under the oven grill). This was back in the 1970s.

what are you even talking about? Have you seen English food? Or an English breakfast? Looks like the greasy contents of a tipped over rubbish bin. Tastes about how you would imagine based on that description. And feels the same way while working its way through your digestive track. Meanwhile I've never known any Americans to order a hamburger for breakfast; and Baconator aside, rarely seen any burgers served later than breakfast without vegetables. Making myself a lovely fluffy omelette with chorizo, sundried tomatoes and pesto as I type this..

Hmm... Not really sure what you mean generally by English food. If you specifically mean a full English breakfast then yes it is not very healthy. I don't eat the typical English diet by any means, but I'm just wondering if most of what people eat in England you would consider "English". We tend to eat a pretty wide range from different cuisines. Can't really think what you mean by "the greasy contents of a ripped over rubbish bin", if there's anything specific other than a Full English you would describe this way I'd be interested to hear it. Clearly though the idea that people eat burgers for breakfast in the USA is an exaggeration.

That's true I've had great food in London it's just not usually what is thought of as traditionally English food.

Though when I have guests visit from overseas here and we go out to eat Thai food and Korean BBQ and pizza and sushi and Pho and Lebanese mezze and maybe some Cajun then I ask how they like American food they'll look confused and say we didn't have any American food.

I'll reply, of course we did, everything we ate was American. What does it matter if it was made originally by Italian or German or French immigrants in the 1800s, or by Asian or African or Arab immigrants more recently than that? It's all American now... and much like, for example, chicken tikka masala was first made in Scotland and is technically Scottish... all of the food you eat in the US regardless of who is making it, it still has an American twist and character.

As a Brit who has just returned from a trip to the US - I enjoyed the breakfast there, although it was definitely inferior to a British one. Apart from breakfast, the food I have eaten in the US is not great - I've been a few times now, and keep thinking I am just eating in the wrong places or something, but I keep finding the same thing. There is some great beer there though. I am trying to be impartial - but based on my experience British food is superior to US food

i think the thing is because a pretty much all of the food is modified a lot more recently than those from other countries and so is linked much more strongly with the other country still, therefore it doesn't really feel american which in many ways is an important factor in it being food from america. Anyway i disagree that just a small change makes it from the country, i think it has to go through a significant change to make it not that recognisable from the original product, e.g. pizza being drastically difficult to how it was in italy. If you count every small thing as being a new dish, then suddenly you lose the meaning of food being from a country as there becomes so many that are from said country. (Apologies for wording it so badly, but i can't be assed to change it)

The English Breakfast Society sounds like a self-appointed body which holds absolutely zero authority. I am English and I don't eat what is called a "Traditional English Breakfast". But, occasionally I do like a plate populated by couple of fried eggs, 2 x grilled back bacon, slightly charred at the edges, 2 x good quality sausages, mushrooms lightly fried in a little butter, and toast. Baked beans are a fine nutritious food, but they ruin a breakfast for me. Black pudding and white pudding, again, fine food items, but not in my breakfast thanks. I might include a grilled tomato. The two other important items are 1. the condiment, which is, naturally, HP Sauce, and optional, and 2. the accompanying drink, which is of course hot strong tea, either English Breakfast blend, or Assam. I am convinced that if I presented this to you as I make it, you would be very happy, possibly even the curmudgeonly (certainly on this subject) kalbahamut.

I know no one who eats burgers for breakfast, with or without veggies, but sausage and biscuits, Egg McMuffins, or ham and cheese croissants are popular here, which are worse IMO. Since I developed an egg allergy I usually eat a small salad, bowl of soup, or leftovers, or I occasionally join my husband in his usual breakfast of deer sausage, fresh side pork, tomatoes, and fried peppers - all from our farm. Would that make his a "half English"? (We used to enjoy fried mushrooms with it, too, until I had a bad reaction to a hen-of-the-woods and we stopped gathering them.) BTW, last week at his annual checkup the doctor said my husband was the healthiest patient he'd seen in weeks, but that's probably due more to the exercise he gets while growing or hunting our food.

It's really hard to find good hash browns even in North America (Brit here living in Canada). It can be hard to find a good breakfast place that does nicely seasoned hashbrowns - places like Denny's, IHop etc all seem to use unseasoned frozen hashbrowns - just potatoes and grease with no taste. Not nice.

Tea is so much more than just a drink. It is the only drink which has caused wars and won wars. Tea is an essential part of the Full English breakfast and the Brits are quite particular about their national beverage. Serve a bad cuppa to a Brit and they may report you to the constabulary, and rightly so.

That's fighting talk: beans are the anchor of the Full English! They can be badly deployed with too many, or leaking everywhere, but that doesn't stop them being a key background player, without which the dish falls apart. As for tradition, they've been a fully standardised part of the meal for over 110 years now and had long since been something common (though probably in a form more akin to pease porridge), but not ubiquitous as they have been since.

Nothing is better than a hash brown. Hence why it's not on the list of things in a Full English - having nothing instead is an improvement! ;)

The various extras that Celtic nations add are all good - especially the potato things: bread, cakes (which are not the same as hashed potatoes), or scones. I will say that perhaps the Scots go overboard by having up to half a dozen type of sausage-type things (link, square, black pudding, white pudding, haggis and fruit pudding)

I have never in my life understood why you're supposed to eat only certain foods for breakfast, but absolutely anything imaginable the rest of the day, including "breakfast food". Go out to eat before 10 or 11 A.M. and the variety is paltry and boringly redundant. Any argument about digestion or energy in the morning go out the window when you look at the wide variety of narrow breakfast diets across cultures.

As for all the people shocked by anyone eating a hamburger in the morning, what's the difference between that and steak (a tough, crappy cut) with eggs or the greasiness of seasoned pork products and tons of butter?

This must be the most ingenious thumbnail choice in Jetpunk history. If I'm not mistaken these cottages (of Arlington Row in Bibury, Gloucestershire) served as Tolkien's inspiration for Hobbiton. So it's of course a reference ot England but also to Hobbits, who are famous for their rich breakfast.
