She starts off by saying most people have this for breakfast most days. That would suggest an average life expectancy in England of about 50. Like they have in Scotland

Exactly, we're not Americans. This is more like the traditional English Breakfast:

Bear in mind that a full English containing baked beans, mushrooms and tomato does cound as three of your five a day - probably.

absolutely does. steer clear of the fried slice and sausage, grill the bacon and poach the egg, then there's not a lot wrong with it.

Get out, and don't come back.

Some quotes - I think American bacon is better because it's greasier :facepalm:

American breakfast was better because you could have desert for breakfast, you know you could have something sweet or something savory.

What, you think we can't have those things here, you dumb bitch! It's one breakfast, against one of yours, not one breakfast against all the food that's available in America.

What did you expect from "God bless America the greatest country in the world and any other nation, culture and people is inferior to our own"

which having said beans are not breakfast food and complaining about "pudding" at breakfast, seemed particularly daft bint-ish.

On my first trip to the 'States, I ordered blueberry waffles for breakfast at a diner.

They were around 6 inches diameter, stacked 8 inches tall, and arrived on a huge plate with crispy bacon, and something called "link" sausages... and a pot of maple syrup.

Americans have no right to criticize anyone elses breakfasts!

America has clearly worn off on you.

I do find this a bit weird when I order breakfast there

Bacon, eggs, sausages for breakfast :thumbsup:

Pancakes or French toast with syrup for breakfast :thumbsup:

On the SAME plate :ohmy:

Breakfast is one of the best things about America. They absolutely know how to do it right.

exactly, an american breakfast is totally different, consisting often of erm, eggs, bacon, sausages, toast.

English people get so small time when it comes to America, we behave like Jocks to to the English. "look at us look at us we are slightly different".

yeah no one could ever lay that accusation against us eh, especially our inferiority/superiority complex towards the US, a large part of whos culture is dropped directly from the British Isles, including their breakfasts.

In fairness on my two visits to the US I have enjoyed their take on it - mapel syrup and pancakes - as well.
