oops, Eating a fattie diet can hardly be controlled by exercise only - health becomes the issue too i.e. diabetes - just check out the developed world figures today

And despite the name, French Toast didn't come from the French. It actually dates back to Ancient Rome: The earliest recorded version of French toast comes from the Roman cookbook Apicius (from around the 4th or 5th century AD), where it was described as a dish made by soaking bread in a milk-and-egg mixture and frying it.

Maybe the Romans stole the idea from the Gauls who hadn't quite figured out how to write cookbooks?

Do you have the recipe for copy cat HP sauce.

 

Out in Nakhon Nowhere HP sauce is hard to find, though I have seen it sometimes at BigC in Kamphaeng Phet.

 

I make my own honey and mustard bacon, and if I can get the bits I also make my own pork sausages and pork pies.

This is what I call a 'Full English Breakfast'

- 2x back Bacon

- 2 Cumberland Sausages

- 1x slice black pudding

- Beans

- Hash-brown

- Mushrooms

- 2x Fried Eggs

- Grilled tomato

- Toast

- HP Sauce

 

AI illustration of that below:

 

Replace 3 American hash browns with 3 slices of English black pudding. Also add fried bread and remove green stuff from your eggs. I wouldn't miss the beans.

The Black Pudding would be the part of the meal for me that never leaves the plate. I would never touch the stuff.
 

I guess the Brits in Thailand must love that pigs blood tofu that they serve with the typical local boiled chicken and rice dish in Thailand.

Yep, these are great, English sausages that taste the same as I remember eating in England 50-60 years back. They also sell Olde English sausages that taste the same but 3x the size.

 

I prefer the Cumberland "fatboy" sausages from Prime. Five in a half Kg pack.

Thanks.

 

I have one or two bottles left, but I enjoy making things like that.

FWIW, this is the English Breakfast at Sausage King in Chiang Mai, toast, jam, large coffee included. 180 baht.

All I can say is that any breakfast that starts the day with beans probably gets thing off on the wrong foot, actually on the wrong cheek so to speak.

Hillbillies in Appalachia eat d’em d’ar beans f’er breakfast.

Hash browns shouldn't be anywhere near a full English (although I do really like them with other meals). 

 

It should be bubble 'n' squeak which is made from day old mashed potato with added cabbage/greens. Fried and constantly mashed up so there are plenty of crispy bits.

 

Can be made with leftover roast potatoes and veg from a Sunday roast. Was a Monday night staple when I was growing up served with the leftover cold cuts from the Sunday meat joint and plenty of pickles - onions, red cabbage, Branston etc.

 

Likewise, Boxing Day lunch was always the same and many people prefer it to the main event on Christmas Day.

 

Bubble 'n' squeak on fresh, crusty, buttered bread is one of life's great pleasures.

First, you have to be in England!

 

There's nothing like a good fry-up, when you're freezing your nuts off.

If there’s no Lorna sausage or potato scones you might as well be eating an English breakfast

Thank you for the link.

 

I am not sure if I like fruity sauce but I will have to sort out all the ingredients and the timings and see if it will work for me.

[Chris Daley]

Luke warm sticky rice and pork.  Pancakes and sugar.  lol.  Only joking.  Our standards are higher than that her in the UK.

 

Porridge, English Crumpets with Butter, Baked Beans on Toast with Grated Cheese, Full English, Scrambled Eggs on Toast, Boiled Egg with Soldiers, BLT, Eggy Bread, or one of our world renowned cereals.

Best brown sauce I've had in Thailand was made by Steve Knowles (The Original Buriram Pieman).

Hell NO ... need some taters; hash browns or home fries.   Meat is usually ham or bacon, sometimes sausage (patty or links) though I prefer Scrapple (Philly thing).  Maybe a side of pancakes or waffles if wanting a pig out, though toast is enough for me.

I am never able to get an English breakfast when I'm in Pattaya. I do not like black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and do not like coffee, I like steaming hot tea, not the  lukewarm tea you always get. If you are paying for the full breakfast, surely you should be allowed to take in a flask of tea in with you.

I do understand not being allowed to bring in a flask of tea at the exclusion of paying for a cup of tea though.

Have you ever tried the breakfast special at Baywatch Restaurant on Pattaya Beach Road? I haven't been there in a very long time, perhaps more than 10 years now, but they used to do a good breakfast with two eggs, some potatoes, mushrooms, two pieces of bacon and a fried sausage. I think it includes orange juice and coffee. From what I remember it was pretty good back in the day.

Unfortunate todays breakfest sausages is only 11 - 12% protein, so Im trying to find those who contain at least 14% and a bit higher quality and less sodium. 

 

Anyone can recomend sausages in Thailand ? 

Recomended Sausages in Pattaya are at  " Belucky"   in Naklua  just up from the Dolphin roundabout on the left,  also found  on the Deli counter at Friendship Supermarket, recognised by the little bits of string tired on to the ends of the sausage, approx 50b  per sausage
