It's been a while since I had a good full English breakfast in a greasy spoon cafe in London, so just had a craving and wondered where in Phuket can I find a good fry up...?

 

To be really considered full English it must have fried eggs, fried tomatos, toasts, and a proper sausage (not frankfurters) and decent bacons, also baked beans is a must but fried mushroom or anything else exta will make it a five star - I think it would go down nicely with an English tea with milk and sugar, but I know I'll be asking for too much then...lol. ????

 

Where did you have a good one lately...? 

 

Toast? Nah..,should be fried bread.

Bacons...

It goes with the toasts 

The Islander in Rawaii

TBH, its a bit late for breakfast, you should wait until the morning 

Starfish Bar & Restaurant in Patong do a superb full English, including a proper sausage and very decent bacon.

The Yorkshire Pub in Soi Sansabai even do black pudding on their Big Breakfast.

Problem is I am told they are closed till November.

Anyone confirm?

No, that's not natural.  Too soggy and fatty.  

 

Plain toast, if required.

Fatty, yes. That's the point of a fry-up, but, soggy? No way. So crisp that it can shatter.

Whomever cooked your fried bread didn't get the oil hot enough and can't be called a cook.

Depends where you are, the Irish bar in Karon, O'tooles good brekkie in there, in Nai Harn the Breakfast hut been there a long time and Happy Jacks do an all day breakfast Im not sure about the time it opens these days

I never found decent bacon anywhere in LOS. It's all that nasty stringy stuff.

 

I make my own big breakfast, which is the only way to get a decent one, IMO. Electric fry pan is cheap enough.

 

You forgot the hash browns, though I suppose they would be considered American. Perhaps the only decent food option to come out of America ( apart from hot dogs ) IMO.

There is places you can buy good bacon but it's not cheap mostly imported there is a place near me in Phuket and they ship all over Thailand "Food for Foreigners" mostly English stuff

Making your own is the way to go, us English like Black pudding and loads of HP sauce,

I liked HP sauce, but stopped using it when the company was sold to foreigners.

 

Never was a fan of black pudding though. I guess my version is best described as a Big Breakfast, rather than by a country. Had one yesterday. 3 real medium sized sausages, 2 bacon, 3 hash browns, fried onion and mushrooms ( never ever got tomato to fry decently so stopped trying ), 3 fried eggs, baked beans on 2 fried bread. Didn't need to eat another thing all day.

Not something I'd eat all the time- just a special treat.

I lived for a long time in a place called Bury just north of Manchester, famous for Black Pudding 

Let's call Black-pudding what it really is. Congealed pig's blood sausage.

It's  a northern English thing. Us southerners stick to smashed avocado toast.

Still buy HP sauce. It tastes the same as it always does, so, I don't care who owns it.

Many, many traditional English food and condiments are foreign owned these days.

Only if not done properly.

 

Secret is to toast the bread first so it is already a little brown and crispy. Then just a quick fry 5-6 seconds each side in hot rice brown oil ( high flash point ) then out of pan and onto kitchen paper.

 

With this method the bread does not soak up all the oil but is just lightly fried on the outside.

What I don't understand is the price difference between HP Fruity and regular. It has to be nearly 50% higher.

I lived a year there. Not only famous for its excellent black pudding but best food market I have ever been to. Nice town chuck.

By your theory I should have been dead a long time ago we was brought up on big fried breakfast, back in England in the late 50's and 60's we had the Transport cafes when my old man used to be a wagon driver, Dont forget the big mug of tea with god know how much sugar in it

Bury market is where we used to buy it from 

A few places spoil their English breakfast by using Ayam baked beans. Too sweet, even their so-called English recipe ones.  Heinz are very expensive but I bought a few cans of Branstons beans at Food For Foreigners a while back. Pretty good.

 

For a really big brekkie I would reccomend Angus O'Tools in Karon. Mellow Space and Pineapple Guesthouse also do an English breakfast in Karon....when they are open!

HP fruity is cheaper than regular HP brown sauce, in the UK

Yes, fatty! You did see that they are discussing English Breakfast, right?
