Wit & Nipples 🍒

[SpicyBean99]

I'm just about to do the full English breakfast, but slightly modified from yours.

I'm having black pudding and I'm contemplating making the eggs into an omelette with cheese and spring onions and I'll put cherry tomatoes in that.

Trust me my birthday weekend hangover needs it right now.

That sounds bloody lovely (pun intended)

I’m not the biggest fan of a black pudding… maybe I just haven’t tried a good one yet!

Ahhh the birthday hangovers are always rather gruelling. I managed to avoid being sick but the white wine headache? Not a fan

 

[SpicyBean99]

Also as my birthday is mid week, I will be partying this weekend and next

Happy birthday for midweek, Pisces friend

Having trouble wrapping my head around black pudding now that I've read a description of it.

Yeah it’s an acquired taste….. a lot of the older generation in my grandparents era enjoy it!

Good morning Ms. Bean.
Sorry about the hangover.
Anything interesting going on tonight or is it just another day poking around the boards?

An English breakfast

Let me set the scene:

You've had a wild night out, you’re sweating out the alcohol and nothing you eat seems to be hitting the right spot… or maybe you’ve just woken up starving…. Or you’re needing fuel for a long days work: you need something greasy, hearty, and absolutely life-saving.

Enter: the Full English Breakfast, aka a fry-up-the UK's ultimate hangover cure and breakfast champion.

On your plate, you'll find:

• Bacon - Not the crispy, streaky kind you know, but thick, juicy back bacon.
• Sausages - Usually pork, sizzling and golden brown.
• Eggs - Fried, scrambled, or poached, but fried is classic.
• Beans - Yep, baked beans in tomato sauce, straight from the can, sweet and savory.
• Tomato - Grilled or fried, slightly charred.
• Mushrooms - Fried in butter and parsley
• Toast or fried bread - Sometimes just toasted, sometimes deep-fried in butter.
• Hash browns - Not always traditional, but often included.
• Extras - Some add bubble and squeak (fried mashed potatoes and cabbage) or even a slice of fried halloumi.
• All washed down with a coffee or a tea! (And an orange juice)

It's greasy, heavy, and absolutely glorious. If a Denny's Grand Slam had a cooler, rowdier British cousin, this would be it.

What about Black Pudding?

Happy Birthday by the way

How is everyone’s day/evening/night going so far?

I woke up in the middle of the night and popped on to relax a little.
My Sunday plans include a drive to the shop for Safety briefs. Our Graveyard team starts around 9 tonight.
Otherwise, just varied little things, mostly homebound.

And because I was dense, happy birthday!!

I figure I'll have to try it once, for science

Kind of like grits and some other cuisines over here in the states.
Crawfish in Louisiana was an experience.

I woke up at 8am and took paracetamol and drank a pint of juice and there has been no headache yet.

Happy birthday for midweek, Pisces friend

I thought the lips emoji was hiding a birthday gift

I know you weren't here last year, but it's great having a birthday on Lit Land the ladies are especially kind

I’ve never seen such effort put into *describing* a fry-up. I hope it was as nice as it sounds

Americans need to be aware that some British food is as delicious as it sounds. The description was absolutely necessary

I’ve always wanted to try crawfish!! I believe you can catch white clawed crawfish in rivers around the uk but I’d much rather try them Louisiana style!

Good Morning Bean!! Enjoying a similar "fry-up" (minus a few items) after a not-very-wild-at-all night, breakfast sandwich style. You seem to have something caught in your wardrobe - would you like some assistance?!?

 

[peekingone]

I’m a tired bean today, today is actually my birthday but the festivities have all been completed! Now, for a coffee and a fry up!

Happy Birthday, have a relaxing day and enjoy. Cheers

 

[peekingone]

Love it

 

[peekingone]

Oh I see you are a lot like me
I would love to do that, if that is your wish!

But after that I guess we will do a lot more than just spit

Oh to watch that. Wow

 

[99Freedom]

@SpicyBean99 Happy Birthday! Mine is right around the corner.

I have done a few breakfasts like that back n the day after a wild night.
