We buy the cases of the frozen French Bagette bread from Sams Club, pop them in the oven for around 12 mins and they are great. Weekdays are cereal with or without milk, cereal bars, bagels or doughnuts. Pancakes or fry ups at weekends including hash browns. Fried bread is always a favourite.

Yes - that's what I meant. Sorry....

Oatmeal, pancakes, eggs and bacon on weekend. I love poached eggs on toast.....fresh fruit and yogurt in summer.....

I do miss a cooked English breakfast! Feeling homesick this week end so I made bacon,egg,sausage (Irish pork sausage I bought from shop rite liquors ) baked beans and fried bread. Found it very hard to explain to hubby of 25yrs what fried bread was and why it's sooo good with a cooked breakfast.

25yrs and he had no idea what fried bread was

As far as I know there is no equivalent in the US to fried bread

If you had to go for something that was equal on the mingingness scale, then you'd have to reach for grits.

In London, especially, some of the best, and biggest, full English Breakfasts are served in back street caffs - just like th know I know, and love, in Lower Marsh, a narrow street, complete with a full on street market, which runs just behind Warterloo train station between the Warerloo Road and Lambeth Road.

Hre is an American lady sampling a full English breakfast, apparently, by the look and sound of it, in one of those back street caffs. NO sign of any fried bread on her plate though, which means some marks have to be deducted...hash browns don't count - they are not really British anyway, I don't think....they sound too American.

She looks a wee bit silly, though, just using her fork when tucking into a Brit Breakfast.....how can she cut into the banger without manipulating fork and knife and back again? Switch over...cut...switch back...straight into the cakehole....it just looks too tiresome and time wasting!

Good video .. thanks for that! The knife & fork thing; she was trying, at least she picked up both utensils. But she had them reversed! The knife is supposed to be in your right hand! (I think; sitting at my office desk, trying to mime the action..)
She is very cute so I had to watch the video twice, once looking at the bacon & eggs, the second time looking at the eater..
I agree, "hash brown" is definitely an American import. When I was a youngster, we'd fry up whatever leftover potatoes we had to go with breakfast; could be a bit of mash, or sliced up boiled spuds..
Getting back to the video, it looks like a delicious plateful but ... TAKE AWAY THE BEANS OR I'LL GAG. (Or was baked beans another thread? can't remember now..)

My American "fried bread" uses bread dough shaped to the size of a pancake and then pan-fry it in butter or olive oil. I use it in place of naan bread, also. The quick way is to buy frozen bread dough balls for rolls, coat them with olive oil while they thaw at room temp (this keeps them from drying out), then flatten and fry

Here in Virgina they do something similar called "corn pone" which is sometimes served with Brunswick Stew which is sold over the winter as a fund raiser by the various local groups.

Ahh I like savory things for breakfast though, so good. When I first came to the US and saw people eating muffins, doughnuts, pancakes with maple syrup and french toast with powdered sugar, I couldn't believe people were eating dessert for breakfast.
