It may be just me, but I couldn't eat the same thing for breakfast everyday. I'd sooner go without and just have a good cafe con leche.

I like to change my breakfast menu too.....but I have nothing against those who dont.

My ideal breakfast is 3 cortados. Full English if someone else is cooking it. Have to have the coffee shot first.

I don't know if they still do it, but VIPs had an "a la inglesa" option for their breakfasts. Bacon, egg, toast, yes, but also french fries! The price (which also included coffee) was around 3.20, so I sometimes indulged, as the Full English breakfasts in the Madrid Irish pubs were normally 5 Euros+ (and the coffee was generally rubbish)

How exactly is that being nice? You are abusing the boring. I think you should immediately immerse yourself in a bath of porridge to make amends.

I had toast and peanut butter with lots of black coffee.

So there.

Do the Spanish do kippers? I love a kipper I do.

Full English is a bit much. The basic core for me is fried bread, bacon and beans.

Once you start messing with a winning formula, all hell breaks loose. Sausages are fine in theory, but most you get are completely vile, resembling the sweepings of an abbatoir mixed with sawdust and rammed into a plastic skin.

Eggs, well, I'm not sure. Only if properly cooked, with runny yolks and hardly any white.

Precisely, thats why it would be possible to desert in large numbers.
Think about it,I'm sure the penny will drop eventually.

How about I don't think about it and I just pretend you didn't answer me? Will that be OK?

I don't like runny yolks, only have scrambled. Agree about the sausage, I have brought back those Duchy ones from Waitrose and they are good. Had friends staying and they brought some sausage from the UK. must have been the cheapest they could get, pink colour coming out when cooking

Now lets keep it nice...no spanish sausage is best rubbish

Just great.
I knew we could be nice to each other,if we really tried.

Hmmmmm. I think I'm right in saying that the spanish have the same rules as Germany? Like the beer reinheit (purity) laws that only allow you to put meat into a sausage. No bread, no muck.

I used to enjoy the Saffron Walden Sausages from the butcher in George street, a bit like Newmarket ones, but to me slightly better. By the time I left the UK tho, I was starting to find them greasy and unattractive.

I certainly am happier eating the chorizo here.

Now I really like Spanish sausages but most definitely not as part of a British style fry/grill up.

Can I just say how much I'm enjoying this gleeful thread?

Wow nice to see that we are all still being nice.......its like Postman Pat, -mrs goggins and co......

Incidentally all this sausage/breakfast talk is one reason why I still think Wetherspoons could make a go of it in Spain, especially in the Spanish cities. Last time I proposed this, I was shouted down, mainly from people who only think of Wetherspoons as the cheapo option. They could actually do well selling northern European beers (I've seen specilised bars in Madrid that do this) as they're quite good in the UK at sourcing many different types of beer, good wholesome breakfasts (and they'd probably get a decent custom from holidaymakers, expats and businesspeople in the big cities), and a different type of plato combinado to that normally offered (yes, they could offer fish n chips or chill con carne or shepherds pie).

Hmmm, going to destroy the chance of a "nice" thread with such a provocative thread...
