While I have not eaten at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant or other Michelin starred restaurants in the UK, besides eating in parts of Africa, the UK has had the worst food I have ever eaten.

1. Perhaps the British are concerned about the safety of meat after BSE?
2. While this thread talks about specific sausages, England is famous for the banger which is also famous for being filled with low quality meat and other fillers. If the UK FTers want to paint cheap US breakfasts with a broad brush, why couldn't an American paint a British sausage with a similarly broad brush?
3. Great chefs have two undeniable qualities...great technical skill and a strong ability to manage the kitchen. However, in 2013, most "foodies" would say that a great chef needs to be able to either meld new ingredients or old ingredients in a new way and (often) to use newer cooking techniques. The "great breakfasts" described here seem to have better quality ingredients cooked in traditional ways. Unless you are a real breakfast aficionado, isn't your money better spent getting a lunch or dinner cooked technically well and you get to taste something new as well? Many high-end modern dishes require multiple smaller "dishes" to be made and assembled just perfectly. The English Breakfast...not.
