What do you eat for breakfast?

[Sundae]

I couldn't honestly say
I've only had toasted cheese sandwiches

I don't like fried bread myself - too greasy
But I'm a big toast fan, so maybe I just compare the two unfavourably.

Fried bread is just that. Bread (sliced, white) fried in the fat left over after frying other breakfast items. Which is why my Dad rarely has it, because they grill everything.

In fact it's probably just a treat at Christmas and Easter now as he'll use the dripping (fat from the roast). If that - since his heart problems Mum is far stricter on what he eats!

It did used to be a staple of a fried breakfast.
Even now, if I stay in a B&B I will check exactly what they mean by a Full English. I can cope with fried sausage, bacon, egg (although I'd never make them myself) but leave out the bread. And the tinned tomatoes.

Mmmm....I suppose it might be interesting if it was cooked in bacon grease (I love bacon). Kinda reminds me of All Creatures Great and Small where the farmers would eat fried fat (?? I think I have that right) in the morning.

Possibly a poor translation somewhere along the line. Fried fat would - after all- just be liquid fat?! Then again they're a hardy lot in Yorkshire. I'll check it with Dana when she's back, in the meantime I'll see if I can work it out.

ETA You are quite right. A quick check of the All Creatures Great and Small listings show that in Pups, Pigs and Pickles Tristan is in fact offered a breakfast that consists of mostly bacon fat. This is not usual I can assure you. I don't remember the episode, but I assume Tristan was pretty put out by it!

Aqua Vita, now.... That's a proper English breakfast.
