Traditional English breakfast--need advice

[shootingstar]

Am I qualified to have an opinion?

Lovely of her to offer a free breakfast if one reads it right.
Breakfast looks yummy to the team. Maybe someone has to bring a small bottle of red hot/chili sauce.

As for blood pudding, would her feelings be hurt if she didn't serve it at all? Or less than 1/2 of amount made for whole group. Otherwise it might be wasted.

I think the beans you are talking about are called Baked Beans. Aussies like them too. When I lived in the States I could find Heinz Baked Beans at Raleys Supermarkets but I am guessing a lot of other supermarkets in the States sell them too.

Good luck with your breakfast.

Yep, it's Heinz baked beans. And I echo everyone else's thoughts on the black pudding.

Yeah, ya know, right after I posted, I googled, and Wikipedia actually had a picture of exactly what she described!

So bangers aren't that much different than regular old pork sausage? I think we'll go with that...but she did say that 16 of them are $9. I was really surprised she could even get them, but they are nearby at the "real" butcher shop in the city. She said they make them there, and that they are as good as she's ever had in the UK. But expensive, so if they're not that different, I say serve something cheaper!

Yes, free, but not exactly. She did our team pictures and for that we charge a vendor fee of 10% of her profit. Instead of writing me a check, she'll have the breakfast.

I think all the guys would find it unique but not inedible--except for the black pudding. I just can't get past that personally, I guess, but I don't see the harm in offering it. I think I will publish the menu in advance so they can be prepared.

Still can't wait to hear from the UKers.

You could substitute haggis for black pudding But then it's a full Scottish.


Oh, and don't serve cheap pork sausages unless you want to be eating bits of pig face. I kid you not, I saw this on tv just last night.

Yes, yes, I know- this from a woman who eats sheep's intestines......

You are definitely on the right track with everything else. A recent trend over here is the insidious inclusion of hash browns. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Yum, yum.....

You definitely need baked beans, any brand will do - nobody makes them, they just come in tins. Also, you might want to consider fried bread! And hash browns are great with a full breakfast!!!
