Don't you think there is something quintessentially British about greasy spoon cafes? The grease lined walls, the brown sauce dispenser shaped as a plastic brown tomato, the yellow of an egg yolk splattered on the floor. All of these things make me hungry and the Full English beats any other breakfast I have ever tasted.
I got the full English for around 3.50 plus tea. The tea had so much sugar in it I could stand my spoon vertically in the cup with no support from the side, great stuff! My beans, fried egg, tomato and sausage were really nice. I think the sausages they use are Cumberland, nice and fat and juicy with little gristle.
My girlfriend hates the fact that one of my favourite things to eat is black pudding. Now when eating black pudding it is best not to think about what it actually is. I tend to take this approach with most meats; I hate the idea that people give livestock names only to eat them later on down the road. I take a similar approach with black pudding.
You can always tell how good the food is in an establishment by the quality of their black pudding. Kings sandwich bar serves a great breakfast and an even better piece of black pudding. So goo I sometimes skip the Full English and just have the BP in a sandwich. read more
