Breakfast

[beale]

Can it qualify as an English Breakfast if Hash Browns are included?

[smudge]

I would imagine an English Breakfast would include Fried Bread rather than Hash Browns, but then I could be wrong.

(I only say this because Hash Browns were on the menus in America, but I've never seen them on English Hotel menus).

I agree with smudge - I think has browns are an Americanism. Let them eat fried bread, I say.

I dont see why not, on the rare occasion I have a full english I include a few chips.

Yes it can!  I don't think there's a strict definition of an "English Breakfast".  My personal perfect "Full English" includes Hash Browns even though they're American.  Mind you, I'm British born and bred and I don't like tea - so who am I to talk!?! :-p

Strictly speaking no. Hash browns are an American invention - but I love them. Same applies to baked beans, they are not "traditional" but many people like them (I don't).

Anyway, if you want a cooked breakfast who cares if it is English, Scottish or Irish etc. Just have what you want.

Personally I like my tomatoes cooked until soft but most hotels seem to find this impossible to do.

Ive just stayed in B&B,And we had a continental breakfast, 1 soft roll a portion of jam and a bowl of cornflakes.They must be skinny on the continent!! ( :)

In my opinion, any potato product should not be included in a full English, with the possible exception of bubble.

 

My ideal full English is Bacon, Fried Eggs, Sausage, Tinned Toms with lots of the juice, Fried Mushrooms and (most important of all) black pud. Buttered bread on the side, big mugs of tea and HP.
