American Full Breakfast vs English Full Breakfast?

Thank you! I planning on trying to find a conversion calculater....

 

Cooking a roast beef on Monday. Will let you know how I do.

edit: you're welcome

 

I've waited patiently for 9 months now. Have you mastered the Yorkshire pudding yet?

 

You've been very patient. I haven't tried it. I remembered flaking out not wanting to fail and waste eggs.

Give me just a little more time....

 

It's foolproof so long as you follow the instructions.
Also, a cup full each of flour, milk and eggs is enough for about a dozen Yorkies so you could scale that back if you aren't feeding many. They do freeze very well though so you could make a batch and put the rest in the freezer.

 

I love breakfast.

My last two big trips were London and ireland.

I'll say I like the english breakfast (buffet) much more than the irish breakfast, although they did have some decent cheeses, based on all my travels.

I'd still rank them in this order.

American
English
Irish

 

I like breakfast.

My full English is egg/bacon based with sausages, and beans for good measure...

I think the Americans have bacon egg and sausage in a burrito called a Breakfast Burrito, but UK doesn't have Breakfast Burritos; this is just what some American told me what's in a Breakfast Burrito.

I like Scotland's scotch egg. I also like Scotland's porridge/oat meal.

 

I don't know that any Americans actually make breakfast burrito's at home. That sounds more like a drive through thing. At home, an American breakfast is more like this:

 

caught this here last night he's going to be for breakfast deep fried and peanut oil and battered

 

Yum, but toss in a couple more eggs and some fried potatoes or hash browns and buttered grits. Still, that looks mighty good....I can smell the coffee. And the pistol, is that a double action?

 

In America for Breakfast I think I always ate out.
On the Jersey Shore it was at breakfast time (mornings), where I was based outside Philadelphia in Pennsylvania was more or less lunch/breakfast, but always out.
Pretty much always Subways too, in Pennsylvania. Loved it, never had a Subway before America.

I've still never had a breakfast burrito, but it sounds like something I want to deep fry and sell to the Scottish.

I've been made American breakfasts in the UK, I like my pancakes with banana, blueberries and syrup, or just raisins and syrup. Hmmm... I think I may learn how to make these things.

Nice picture of American bacon @Lil Mike but we don't get that type of bacon in the UK (probably because of the EU, but now that's over with, I wonder why now)...

Looks nice, never tried it.

I've had UK bacon which IDK what Canadian bacon is, but, MAYBE it's that, MAYBE it's not, IDK, I have UK bacon.

 

Canadian bacon is what we call streaky. It's very fatty and generally considered substandard compared to the back bacon which we normally eat for breakfast.

 

Since you're like a chef, I'd take your word for it in knowing your bacon, but, I still want make a breakfast burrito though.

I think, but not sure, that a Breakfast Burrito is like an English breakfast, but wrapped up in a burrito wrap, AND... I want to deep fry the thing, as I reckon Scotland will love them deep fried and it'll be a hit - If its bacon and egg and sausage wrapped up, why not deep fry it and sell it like that - idea.

Back to bacon, can I buy American bacon at Tesco? Is that another cut or is that only in America?
Since you seem to know your bacon cuts @Montegriffo, can Tesco help a Brit make American bacon to taste, try and compare?

 

Every subway restaurant in America smells exactly the same way and all their food tastes exactly the same way no matter where you go. The only other chain I can think of that comes close to that level of uniformity is Pizza Hut. I swear you could build either on an island in the middle of a cesspool and they would still smell exactly the same as they do everywhere else in America.

 

This is an old fashioned middle cut of bacon.
The back bacon is the wide cut on the right which comes from the side of the pig and the streaky is the thin fatty cut on the left which comes from the belly.

 

I shouldn't lol but its arse is called Ham.


Pigs are cute though, and tasty , cute and tasty.

 

Seems UK and US both love bacons in their breakfast but, have different versions of bacon, somehow someway.

I actually just made a thread about this
http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/the-baconing.585863/
but this thread seems to know its bacon.

Spoiler

 

I'm not sure if actual American bacon is available in the UK due to our stricter hygiene and welfare standards.
The English equivalent would be smoked streaky bacon. Maybe drizzled with maple syrup for sweetness.
Back bacon is the higher quality more expensive cut though, It comes from the loin which is the best part of a pig and equivalent to the sirloin in beef.
It's also the same bit of meat that pork chops come from minus the bone.
Buy it from a decent butcher rather than Tesco though if you can afford it.

 

I want an American to answer me this based on the above comment;

Is all American bacon smoked?

We get smoked and un smoked in the UK, surely the US too?
I don't like smoked bacon.

Hell, for all I know, the US could have honey glazed bacon at the supermarket.

 

It's ham when it's cured and leg when it isn't. It's where gammon comes from too. It would be rump in beef.
Generally the more tender expensive cuts come from the rear of a beast and the tougher cheaper cuts come from the front.
The cheaper cuts can have more flavour though, they just need cooking slower and for much longer. Brisket is a good example of this, it has more flavour than the expensive roasting joints but it takes 4-6 hrs on a low heat, braised with plenty of moisture. Red wine, ale or stock in the roasting tray covered in foil or in a pot with a lid.

 

Just getting ready to leave the same fishing hole right now I caught a big giant gar fish which is edible contrary to popular belief but I went ahead and tossed it back cuz I don't feel like fooling with it probably a 30 lb car not car you stupid phone garfish not no damn car....

 

It's all cured with sodium nitride or something cuz I shot a wild hog once and I butcher it and ate it and nothing tasted like the bacon you buy in the store so they do something to it I'm not sure what but it's good

 

Here you go, if you don't trust my word for it...

Now wait just a second here buddy I always thought they can come from the belly of the hog you mean there's other types of bacon this changes everything
