Ah, the great Arterial Blocking British Breakfast.

Years ago I came across a review in the Sunday Times of the greatest British Breakfast of them all, the "10 Deadly Sins" breakfast at Simpsons-in-the-Strand. Even better, the 10 DS + Pig's Nose. I kept the page from the magazine, and transcribed it some time ago (not otherwise available online.)

Thank you for that, a nice read! I must point out that I couldn't eat a "Full Monty" every day, but as an annual treat it cannot be surpassed!:)

My fav breakfast: a glass of OJ and a few pieces of watermelon. Makes me feel perfect for that time of day.

I made some huevos rancheros at home on Saturday morning that I'm still salivating over.

Favourite breakfast out is still the tempura udon soup (hubby gets the udon with smoked herring) from the udon shop in Kyoto train station. Ate there every day for nearly a week. Heaven.

What a truly wonderful article. I know where I'm headed for breakfast next time I'm on that side of The Pond.

As for me, full Irish breakfast all the way:
eggs (scrambled best when fresh out of the hen's ... um ... you know)
Toast with black currant jam
bacon
black and white pudding
sauteed mushrooms
tomato
fried potatoes
with brown soda bread starter
and scones for "dessert"
tea
OJ (you know, to health it up)

That will keep me most of the day. I think that I need to trade in some more FF miles....

Agreed. I cannot recall many names of places in small towns, but I have enjoyed many of them. Once which I do remember is a mini local chain Calico Cupboard which has amazing sweet or savoury breakfasts.

While I am not a fan of what is seen as 'traditional German' food, breakfast is the exception. A real German spread minus the meat, preferably with a view of something decent is an indulgence every now and again. Your list however forgot quark! :p

The South German Bakery/Café Konstanz in Beijing serves a variety of such breakfasts and they insist on packing up the leftovers for you to take along. It is a nice little corner of home in a far away place.

If I am making my own breakfast my choice is a slice of 'grey' bread (rye bread) with unsalted butter (see butter thread) and a poached egg just runny enough to let the yolk soak slightly into the bread.

I’m definitely NOT a breakfast person… for whatever reason. My stomach just can’t handle eating in the morning. As a matter of fact, I generally don’t have my first bite until noon or so. But every once in a while, when confronted with the opportunity to have one of my favorite meals ever (that happens to be a breakfast meal), I’ll happily partake. And that is…

Eggs Benedict.

Absolutely love it, especially if it’s good hollandaise sauce. Further, the egg has gotta be very runny. An overcooked poached egg is a waste. So, Eggs Benedict for me.

My favorite would have to be leftover hash browns and steak from Manny's in MSP. With OJ and strawberries.

I wonder how often people come to that restaurant and order the entire menu? Because I might just do that the next time I drop in to LAX! :D

Where did you have your best ever?

Mine was at of all places, in Wells, NV at the Peppermill Casino breakfast buffet. Happened to be there right when they brought a fresh batch from the kitchen. I think I ate 4 of them and some potatoes and skipped the rest. They were perfect. Second place goes to the Le Peep chain, but it's been several years now. Other than those it is extremely hit and miss, even at the same place, and the price point doesn't seem to matter at all. We make an excellent version at home about once a year, and it requires two of us and full attention for a good 15-20 minutes just for 2-4 people.

I love going to Pann's late Sun AM or early afternoon when many patrons are dressed in their Sunday best having come from church. Pann's is just awesome.
If one has a couple + hours between flights, Pann's is the place. if in a rush, call ahead and get their fabulous fried chicken to go and eat it on the plane. :)

^ :) I can always do that when flying off with SQ. See how they'll serve it in F platters to make it special! :p

I'd have a glass of Dom/Krug with that fried chicken! :D

Breakfast is the most important meal;) But... Two years ago I spent my holidays in Poland. One day I was caoming back home from the all-night party and I was starving... There is one place in Krakow where you can eat the most delicious sausages in the world:) They sell these sausages in the blue car (I don't remember its name). This was the best breakfast I've ever eaten!

I think there is mention of this in another thread:

Will definitely make a note of this for the next time I visit Krakow. :)
