No idea. Not eaten in an IHOP here.

I saw someone order the full size breakfast burrito and it was the size of a baby! Often best to share dishes.

I have tried some of their cheesecakes and they weren't that good and overly sweet. The slices are massive, but you can order to take them away if so inclined.

Anyway, it's a decent enough family restaurant with good service, especially if you go earlier in the day. Well the MoE one is, although we only ever go at around 11am. (And then spend the next hour moaning that we ate too much!)

No argument there. The street vendors or little restaurants are much closer to a proper traditional breakfast. It's a big place though and most regions have different breakfasts.

When I find the one that has Gin breakfasts I'll move there.

I love black pudding, not as food though, but as a defense weapon against English bashing of Arabic cuisine. For example, a friend of mine once said to me, ‘you guys eat sheep heads, don’t you! …Yak!’. To which I replied, ‘yes we do, but don’t you also eat black pudding which is basically concentrated pigs blood!!’

That's a decent point. First one you've made, though.

*buzzer* wrong on the Paki breakfast I am afraid.
They got the Paratha part right but its not stuffed with potatoes or vegetables.
A classic breakfast would be a normal paratha (made in ghee or oil) served with eggs (omellete, scrambled, or the classic sunny side up) served with sweet tea
and yes I am extremely hungry right now
Its been a long month and running on fumes now

I'm going to a gin bar in Newcastle in October. My first ever trip to a gin bar, although it probably won't be for breakfast. Any recommendations? I like Bombay Sapphire, 'er indoors likes Tanqueray, Yellow Label didn't excite me...that's about the extent of my knowledge.

I used to like my pak breakfasts. I always had the qeema and some lentils too.

Irishbeekeeper

ah yes, the standard aloo qeema (minced meat with potatoes)
by the way there is a paki restaurant close to where i live which makes a very very good variety

For me breakfast has to include black pudding, I am from
Kent, the only thing not belonging to full English is baked beans - yuk!

Pongo

IHop eggs benedict with hash brown and lots of coffee, most satisfactory.

Blazeaway

A favourite! But prefer tomato sauce on one slice and mustard on the other

Blazeaway

Quite like potato farls and bacon

You've forgotten the other main ingredient which is fat! However Irish black pudding includes oatmeal so healthy?

Tamqueray 10 is the smoothest gin you'll ever find.

Just not ideal for breakfast.

OleJanx

You're just not gauche enough!

(Which reminds me of my favourite misprint "The bank robber entered the bank brandishing a gin." I always imagined a decadent bloke in a smoking jacket with a Martini glass.)
