While we Americans have managed over the years to perfect Cardiac Arrest in a Bag with a Big Mac, fries and a extra-large drink special (never mind the chili-cheese fries at Carl’s Jr. and Denny’s Grand Slams), the Brits have their own version of Death on a Plate: The Full English. Says London Times restaurant critic Giles Coren,
The current £7.25 “Olympic” breakfast at Little Chef comprises: “two rashers of crisp backbacon, British outdoor-reared pork sausage, two griddled eggs, whole-cup mushrooms, crispy sauté potatoes, fresh griddled tomato, Heinz baked beans and toasted or fried extra-thick bloomer bread.”. . .[W]e read that: “A good English breakfast never lets you down.” No, it kills you. That’s what an English breakfast does.
I’ve also had a version that includes a black pudding (don’t ask), but not this trip. I’ll stick with my cereal and semi-skimmed milk, thank you.
