Just to follow up, this is the book which started me on the road to uncover the lies about fat I’d been told quite literally my whole life. I’ve no connection with the author and am just a grateful reader. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1906417466

Here is a short film which also is a great starting point! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8WA5wcaHp4

Enjoy those fats and eschew those carbs!

Just a quick note re health issues. You’ve subscribed to the same myth we’ve all been brought up to- that fried bread (or even fried anything) is a heart-stopping artery-clogger. This is nonsense. So long as the frying fat is meat fat then you’re probably doing your body a favour. The only inherently “bad” thing in a fried breakfast is carbohydrates, in the toast, bread, hash browns, etc. Fat is not an artery clogger, nor is it bad for you.

I’ll leave it to google for citations as I’m tapping this on my iPad, but there’s a whole new movement trying to reverse the damage done to the image of Fat by US “scientists” after WWII which has influenced culture ever since.

Fat is not bad for you. This was a falsehood borne and perpetuated in the US.

Now you can enjoy your breakfasts more! But don’t forget, even though it’s not bad for you, fat does have a high calorific content, so please- not too much!

That looks yummy (and I am a vegetarian so that is saying something). Going home to fry a tomato now!

For me, Chinese Dim Sum beats an English breakfast!

But really, they’re both the best two breakfast experiences on earth.

Great tasty post indeed! So true that nothing beats a English breakfast. When I travel and as much as I like to taste new foods….somehow I come around and find myself with a plate of English breakfast 🙂

It’s midnight and am feeling hungry after reading this! 🙂

p.s. I never got the hang of mushrooms in breakfast either!

In Norway, we hardly ever eat cooked breakfasts, so these are a treat whenever we’re in the UK. Best of all, you don’t really need another meal until evening 🙂

Although I’m a patriotic Englishman, I have to say that the full Scottish is better, as you can also get haggis and porridge. A plate with haggis and black pudding is a joy to the eyes and the belly. And the full Irish has better bread. Maybe we should set up a committee to decide on the perfect Full British Isles Breakfast.
