Thinking that other people would be interested in what one ate for breakfast always struck me as ridiculous, a symptom of over-the-top self-centreness. Moreover, when social media first came on the scene a decade ago I latched onto that item as a simple way to dismiss it.
So why am I posting on social media a photo I took a month ago of a huge breakfast I ate (there are also 3 rashers of bacon hiding under the eggs)?
- Because of the preamble above I find it amusing
- I was staggered at how good value it was (and still is). It cost me £4.49 (US $5.76 or €5.05 at today's exchange rate). In fact, I have shown that photo to several people and raved about it.
- I want to make some posts rapidly (see previous post) and refuse to publish ones that are complete trash
- I don't expect anyone else to actually read this, tucked away in the vast "food" category.
The breakfast is from the Hungry Horse national chain, by the way. You only get that price by ordering before noon from the "Breakfast menu". Some establishments charge 50p more. I have no connection to them other than as a very satisfied customer.
Looks like you were up to high physical exercise that day. :D
There's no real equivalent in German/Middle European cuisine, maybe eating sausages and/or scrambled eggs with bacon and/or rolls with bacon, boiled ham or ground pork comes close. :D

Thanks for the comment. I've eaten that breakfast there a few times since, although it is far too much to eat every day. The "hash browns", the triangular monstrosities on the right, are an American import, but the rest counts as a traditional English breakfast.

Yeah. I looked at some of your videos. It's interesting to see some of Soros' useful idiots (not you!) in action. I read ZeroHedge etc, but it's different seeing it like this -- makes it more real.

That's a hearty breakfast. Can easily cost around S$25 ($18USD) in Singapore. :(

Yes. It's hard to get through eating it all. The normal "full English breakfast" there is literally half the size and costs £4.99 instead of the £4.49 paid for the huge one. Or if there are two of you it costs £4.00. See Any two meals. £4-£6 is the usual price here for a sensibly-sized cafe (not restaurant) breakfast.

That looks so good. For under 6 bucks it's an amazing deal.

Depends what you compare it to. Compared to a cup of coffee and a doughnut at home, yes. Compared to other English pubs/cafes, it's a good deal. But I don't eat it often.

This is indeed a hearty breakfast. This one meal would surely make you last for almost the entire day because of its huge portion. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

Oh it does. The last time I ate it I resolved not to again, or at least leave 2 of the 3 "hashbrowns" because it almost knocked me into a stupor for two hours. Thanks for commenting.
