You know you have way too much free time on your hands, you need Something Else to do......
Got me suffering from culture shock here, johnj.Johnj wrote:A big breakfast. Bacon or ham and eggs, potatoes, beans or corn, sausage gravy and biscuits, toast and jam, coffee and juice. It varies from place to place.
Full English with corn? Definitely not corn - at least, if you mean what we call 'sweetcorn'. ('Corn' is something different here.) In the Middle East, maybe. But not in England (I can't speak for the Scots. They have even stranger ways than Americans ) Eating sweetcorn with breakfast would be like asking an English person to boil soup in a kettle: possible but weird.
). Gravy is definitely a foreign kind of 'English', too - for breakfast at any rate. (Though I'm sure someone from the Midlands will contradict me over this - but that's because Midlanders are pretty weird as well. Anyone who drinks Guinness with neat orange juice cannot merit serious consideration.)
More like a scone to you, but not sweet at all.sv-wolf wrote:And biscuits? What are biscuits? Over here 'biscuits' are what you call cookies. So I'm sure you can't mean those (or can you?

Eggs (fried), tomato (grilled), mushrooms (fried), chips (english chips, deep fried), bread (white, deep fried), sausage AND bacon (fried), black pudding (fried?), beans in tomato sauce (heated).
Serve with red or brown sauce (ketchup or HP), tea, enjoy.
Now yer gonna ask about black pudding arncha?
Gor, blimey!

The corn I've had was creamed when it came with breakfast. Sweetcorn, stripped from the cob and cooked in a milk based cream sauce, actually quite good but I normally eat it with dinner.
And biscuits? What are biscuits?
Now biscuits are actually easier to comprehend. What he's referring to is a baking powder biscuit. It's about 2" round, made with basically baking powder, flour, butter, a bit of salt and some milk. Has a consistancy some what like a scone but way drier. If you want a recipe, just ask...

Okay, this one is just plain scarey...
Any gravy I've had served at breakfast in the States is usually known as "Country Gravy" or "Homestyle Gravy". If you can imagine a pot full of white glue, you're close to imagining the gravy served.
It consists of about;
50% flour
10% chicken stock
13% fat (Chicken)
2% Coarse ground Pepper
25% Salt
Combined over heat and stirred until thick and lumpy... Mmmmm....
Enjoy your next breakfast thinking of that....
