This is the Sharia-compliant English Full Halal Breakfast, so please note the plate behind is the original native version. Also noticed: no women - this would be because they are at home taking care of the bairns. And no rice, no veggies.
For the class-conscious of yesteryear (you don't see many greasy spoons these days - we're all middle class now) the trouble was the cafe's in the wrong place - it's in middle class London and you need to go to a lower class neighbourhood to get rhe real full flavour of a Full English Breakfast.
Next time, we will adventure into a more working-class area. Then I can take the photos, including of yesterday's tomato ketchup drying on the table ... that kind of thing. THE REAL DEAL.
An Full English Breakfast can only be equalled by a Full Scottish Breakfast. Unfortunately, I didn't find haggis slice or tattie scone on the menu, and sadly no pickled beetroot on the table. For drinks, there was A. G. Barr's famous Irn Bru, it's true, but I wanted unsugared - you have to say it twice - "no sugar please" strong builder’s tea.
I forgot the sides of square sausage - Lorne it's called.
Yes, this is cholesterol-heavy comfort foods, soaked up with tea, and cholesterol is back on healthy menus.
Eat in luxury

We love a good real full flavor english breakfast.
