Do you know what everyone is eating? The English breakfast. That's right: "Lately, that morning meal has become all the rage in New York," says New York. English breakfast should not to be confused with the Irish breakfast, which comes with "black pudding" (that's congealed blood!) and "white pudding" (that's fat and oatmeal, essentially). Why aren't you stuffing your face with sausage right now, you bollockey bastard bloater?

21
I was in Dublin a month ago and I had both the black and white pudding and had no idea what was in it and now I am going to ralph.
Oh I secretly find it delicious. But I don't like to think about it.
Think of black pudding as a fried scab. I do.
Working in London two years ago, you could get a full English at the staff caff for the same price as a sandwich. I soaked up a lot of hangovers that way; I also gained three or four pounds each month I did it. Fried bread is the devil's work.
I go with a BLT for hangovers. I don't think the mayonnaise is helpful but everything else works.
Black pudding is actually more like a scab with seasonings.
JOSH. It's morning. And some of us may be hung over.
Not always the case! In fact, all my expat U.K. friends are thin as rails. (A parent refers to us as "Bagel Butts.") Even I have been turned on the the pleasure that is a good fry up.
London Lee, show 'em what you got!
I had cereal and a cup of tea this morning.
Cheeky!
The bacon in that photo is "wrong" anyway, that's American style bacon â€" what we call "streaky bacon" - a proper English needs back bacon which has more meat on it.
Not to mention a pretty conspicuous lack of beans. What are you supposed to put on your toast?
The version at Chip Shop in Brooklyn is pretty good. It may have something to do with the accompanying coffee and buck's fizz.
Coffee? Coffee? With an English breakfast?
Tea! That's been stewed for hours! In an old chipped mug!
The full English is disgusting. Can't stand it. The bacon is all wrong, the sausages are bland and the whole thing tastes the same. Just awful.
I prefer a Scottish breakfast. An Egg McMuffin. And Talisker.
I hope the sudden fame doesn't go to the English breakfast's head, like it did with that asshole banh mi.
SERIOUSLY.
Best way to eat a Full Irish is the Breakfast Roll, which is all of it in a "baguette."
I always thought a Full Irish was a pint of Guinness and a potato.
Steamed English brekkie (I know): Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps please.
West Indian black pudding is the best. It's got seasoned rice in it.
