, an English fried

breakfast

, which one is your favorite? No, I like bacon, you like bacon, real winter, we like sausage, right? Do you understand Winston Winston returns with that leg of lamb It was the famous playwright William Moreham who once said that to eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day I could do it It was the Victorians who thought that the traditional English breakfast was the most civilized meal in the world. day and they would sit and eat kippers and devil's kidneys and just the most amazing old-fashioned ingredients, not the traditional eggs and sausage and bacon and all the things we associate with traditional breakfast today when I was at Balmoral Castle I cooked for the royal family we cooked kidneys and herring kippers all the time.

It wasn't until the war years that English breakfast really took off and then people ate that sausage, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, fried bread all the time and it became super popular, it's one of my favorite foods and every time that I fly to the UK is something I must eat. I go straight to the airport restaurant and order a traditional fried breakfast, and it's so good here in the US, a lot of the American pubs, British pubs, they serve traditional breakfast, but it's not always the same, they use American bacon, American sausage and, worse, American beans, disgusting.

Today I'm going to make a traditional fried breakfast and to make an authentic traditional breakfast you have to have real ingredients, the bacon, the sausage, the black pudding and the baked beans, and I linked them below in the description so you can also prepare an authentic British breakfast, so let's go over the authentic ingredients starting with the bacon, the bacon is back bacon, not the long, thin, striped bacon that is used in America, and it is cut from the loin and has a bit of striped bacon . The back bacon there in England they cut it so thin and it's called Bacon Rasha, there's a new word. for you bacon sausage rashers, all truly known as sausages in the UK, that's because during the war years meat was quite scarce and simply not available and was very expensive anyway and, rationed , they filled the sausages with a lot of toast and a lot of breadcrumbs. and there was also a lot of seasoning and a lot of fat, so when they were in the pan cooking, sometimes the fat would just go through the skin and they would make explosions and splatter everywhere, that's where sausages come from.

There are many different types of sausages. I can have for breakfast and the traditional ones are ground pork and condiments like mace, which is kind of the outer core of the nutmeg and then the rusk in there, as well as my favorite Lincolnshire sausages, the sage and onion flavor It's just amazing when I cook for the royal family, the Cumberland sausage was the favourite, they didn't break it into links, it was just a long spiral sausage and that was great, great for Prince Philip, to just throw it on the grill and cook it as a whole. sausages and then you could cut the portion you wanted sausages in my opinion and what made breakfast in England alone they spend a billion dollars a year on sausages the sausage man in the UK, black pudding, takes a bad route, but you know what it is. tasty, it's high in fiber and rich in iron, what's in it is pig's blood, it's pig's blood and it's thickened with oatmeal and things like that and a lot of seasonings and it's all packed together and it's absolutely delicious, this was one of the favorites of King Henry VII. back in the day when I had this on the menu all the time, in the war years, housewives would walk to the slaughterhouse carrying a bucket and return with a big bucket of blood to make their own blood sausage.

Less than a week mmm it's so good, no no you have to try it, order some and try it, I promise you will love it. The mushrooms must be the little Bellas, they call them flat mushrooms in the UK, they are a little more open than this but they have a very meaty texture and add a wonderful flavor to breakfast and then Tomatoes Tomatoes We can't use canned, you must use fresh tomatoes usually from the greenhouse at Jolly Old UK, right? You cut the tomatoes in half and sauté them and they are the perfect complement to this fried breakfast bread.

We have bread but we don't always have toast and it is fried bread that we normally serve with a traditional breakfast with a lot of oil. the pan we put it in the bread and we fry it until it's crispy when you bite into it all that oil runs down your chin oh delicious we only live to be 25 in England but we eat good eggs eggs you can make hard boiled eggs you can make poached eggs you can make scrambled eggs, but for the traditional breakfast it has to be fried eggs and finally the beans, it has to be baked beans and it has to be English baked beans from Heinz in 1886.

Heinz started introducing baked beans to the UK now. In the United Kingdom, 2 million cans are consumed a day. Everyone loves their baked beans. They really are the best. They even have Royal Warren. They supply beans to Buckingham Palace. I also used to cook beans for breakfast at Buckingham Palace and Princess Diana loved them. In fact, eating a whole can of beans for breakfast sounds crazy, but when you think about it, you know that there are only seven grams of sugar in English-style baked beans, they are high in protein, high in fiber and very low in fat, so they are perfect for her to eat that big boost of carbs ready to go to the gym and work out now we are going to cook the sausages which take longer to cook so we start with a little bit of oil in the pan first and then we can add the sausages even Winston likes sausages, once the sausages start cooking we can add the bacon, now the bacon won't be super crispy, it's not like American bacon with all that marbled fat, it's like I said, kind of of pork loin, but the flavor is Very good, so we can start with the mushrooms and the blood sausage, the mushrooms, a little oil in the pan and throw the mushrooms in and I like to add a little butter in there too, it's tempting add a little garlic, you know, the garlic mushrooms and everything. but not for breakfast, not in a traditional breakfast, the black pudding just needs a little bit of oil in the pan, it's okay, it's already cooked, so all we do is reheat it and when we reheat it we just make it nice and crispy. on the outside and very soft and tender in the middle, the beans can go in the pan and we're just going to heat them up and then the tomatoes, let's get that little green bit out of the center and then just cut them in half, salt and pepper and in the pan On the other hand, be careful with the sausages, we don't want them to burn, but cook them over low heat to help them not spit out.

Then we can turn the bacon over as well, and the black pudding, the tomatoes, so they brown well on one side and then turn them over. , we don't want to cook them until they are very soft. I mean, we could also use canned tomatoes Tomatoes Tomatoes by cooking them in the same pan as the Black Pudding like the Black Pudding. The pudding releases all that fat in it, that pork fat, that flavor goes to the tomatoes, oh, it's all coming together, this is one of my favorite foods. I get so excited every time I make a fried breakfast, a fried English breakfast, and I stir the beans.

I thought having beans for breakfast was genius, I mean it's pure protein, carbs and it's super healthy, it fills your belly and you're ready for the day. Obviously, if you make this at home, you don't need to put 28 pounds on the stove. like I'm doing, you can get a big frying pan and you can throw everything together and do it there, just remember you have to go in order, start with the sausages, then add the bacon and then the mushrooms and black pudding. the tomatoes and finally the baked beans, obviously in a separate pot, otherwise it will go into the machine once everything is cooked, you can put everything in a pan or on a tray with some aluminum foil on top and keep it warm while we make the fried bread. and the eggs, the fried bread, we want a little oil in the pan, a lot of oil, let's fry if you have bacon juice, that's better here too.

We heat the oil and then put the bread in that hot oil. Eggs again, a little more oil, not too much, and then we can take the eggs and crack them into the pan. It helps if you have really fresh eggs, the older the eggs are, they will just start to fall apart once the eggs are in the pan, let them sit. Don't start putting pressure on them to move them Let them sit, let the album come together when we put the bread in the oil, it needs to start sizzling, it is fried bread after all, but let it cook until it starts to get crispy. and golden on the outside and then we can turn it over, see that the eggs are cooking and they don't need to be thrown away.

We are making them sunny side up, it is not very easy and they will continue to cook if we leave them. We leave them there, that residual heat keeps them cooking while they finish cooking, we can start plating everything else. Breakfast when I cooked for the royal family was always served buffet style, so people get our you know between half past eight and just come. downstairs for breakfast and that way they could help themselves to whatever they wanted, this delicious bacon that has become a little crispy but is still nice and tender too and then, care
