What I'm wondering is what do people in here do for breakfast during the week. Are you a light breakfast eater, or does a huge stack of pancakes and three eggs on the side get the juices flowing?

Normally, all I have (and can stomach) is coffee and cigarettes*, but occasionally (especially when it's freezing, like now) I do love a good Full English; eggs, smoked bacon, chipolata sausages, black pudding, and sautéed mushrooms, with a little fried bread.

If I'm going to do that though I tend to do so at the weekend more than in the week, and not more than once or twice a month.

I used to live in Hertfordshire, and The Watford Cafe (guess where it is) is the bestest greasy spoon ever, and they do absolutely the best bubble & squeak in the world. Sadly I no longer live close enough to go, although sometimes, if I'm out for a bike ride on a cold winter's morning, I do pop in for a large plate of everything [:D]

*"the Breakfast Of Champions"




OK, forgive an ignorant yank, but WTF is 'bubble and squeak'. Sounds like you boiled a mouse or something.

Then again, given the state of British cuisine.........................[8D]

Hill, in Ireland it's cabbage and bacon. It must be something similar in England.
