I was surprised when I was in hospital in the US. Being a ‘private’ hospital and not state run, I assumed the food would be pretty good. I was wrong, it was the similar crap served in the UK NHS hospitals and in Toronto.

It was the auto correct, you big silly.
This morning I just had vanilla slices and coffee. Every time I got up yesterday evening to perform a task I'd forgotten before bedtime or to check on the slow cooker I'd reward myself with a vanilla slice, so half of them were left for breakfast.

You don't want to put a nice hot breakfast on a cold plate.

Is that poached eggs on a hot dog bun?

I'd welcome that lovely steak.

Mug of Yorkshire black tea with milk & 2 sugar

I think you'd like it. I've never had any over here that holds its shape; it always seems to turn to mush whereas in the UK you could slice it, grill it (or fry it) and it stays a slice.

Same taste though. Drool...

Next time I think of it I'll phone Ukrainian Co-op. I suspect black sausage may not be on, but blutwurst has a chance. They look close in pictures.
I've read enough opinions on a few English Breakfast threads here over the years to know it isn't a universal favourite.

Yes, everyone has their favourites and just about every sample plate has something on that a lot of people will do without that others consider a must have. I like baked beans but not as part of a breakfast. Give me grilled or fried tomato...or even a bit of tinned tomato if it's not too liquidy. :lol:

But based on your 'plates' I do think you'd like it. :thumbup:

I was going to have bacon and tomato on a bagel, but changed my mind and went with tacos. Beef and onion with guacamole.

If you can get your hands on this stuff, I would. It's a cross between hot sauce and a spicy salsa. But it's so tasty, especially for breakfast. I think it's made in Penticton BC.

It's probably great, but $7.50 for a tiny bottle is usurious. Next time I'm in Penticton, though, I might try to track down his shop and get some Jamaican food.

Kale smoothie and a bowl of All Bran with apricot slices and skim milk.

I ate all that, then checked my Lotto Max ticket to see if I could afford servants to dress me
and carry me around. I thought "If I'm that rich, I'm not moving."

Look at Cora's Breakfast menu pictures.

For 'simple,' marmite on cheese bread is always a winner. Bacon sandwich does the trick for me when I sit down to watch the weekend footie.

I just bought HID a tiny baguette sandwich and cake in a local shop and it cost me $18. You could feed a family of four at Greggs for that.

I think it was the butchers string that added at least five dollars to the cost. Maybe they were worried it was going to escape?

Today's brekkie will be fried Weisswurst with scrambled eggs and toast. Would have preferred dark bread with fresh butter but not to be had.

Bev .. slice a thick piece of Challah or white bread. Make a pocket in the slice and spread softened cream cheese and some raspberry jam inside. Dip it in french toast prepared eggs and fry. Serve with syrup and more jam. Delish.
