Default Since We Won't be Traveling to the UK this Summer

I decided to create a little piece of the UK here in North America.

I wasn't aiming for Haute cuisine, more Transport-caf and I think I nailed it.



And yes, that is a fried slice

Nice, looks good. Great to see a good distance between the egg and beans - using the sausage as a breakwater.

Not bad at all. I have been known to make something similar myself for breakfast on the weekend, but without the black pudding (which I love, but refuse to lay through the nose for), and with "country ham" rather than bacon, and slices of sausage rather than links.

We aren't going either, wedding postponed until 2021. Breakfast looks great, except I don't like baked beans (too sweet). I'll take some fried potatoes please.

Lovely, Replace the fried bread with potato scone and ditch the tomato and we have a winner. And it's such a pity I can't get square sausage in Cayman

If you think British baked beans are too sweet, stay away from American ones, which seem to have been made with equal parts of tomato sauce and treacle!

One can Campbell’s Pork and Beans - 9 grams sugar, one can UK Heinz baked beans 10 grams sugar.

Maybe that's a half can, because a 13.7oz "full size" can of Heinz beans from the UK has 21g of sugar, in three standard 130g servings which is 7g/serving. We usually split a can into four servings, so 5g, or one fifth of a teaspoon, which is less than I put in a mug of tea to accompany the breakfast.

FWIW Bush's baked beans have 12g/130g serving, and Bush's country style beans have 14g/serving! Which is consistent with how they taste to me.

Dunno know about how sweet beans are but IMHO neither beans or tomatoes have any place on a fry up😃

What? I've not lived in the UK for quite some years, but if we've stooped to having peas with a fry-up, I guess I'll be staying away for longer.
