I have even once encountered tinned tomatoes! Abhorrent. Any kind of tomato served with a fried breakfast is an abomination before God. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just when I thought the Money Supermarket advert of the builders dancing with the guys in hotpants couldn't get any more annoying, they go and add a big fat dancing ginge lassie. Carol Decker has let herself go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIEA Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Despite the many health benefits of tomatoes I agree they have no place on a full Scottish breakfast. Worst are the big ones that have been cut in half or small ones left whole and cooked really hot. They just sit on your plate like a small thermonuclear device, daring you to eat them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The half tomato has no place in a fry up. Fried mushrooms are the way forward if you really must get one of your five a day on the plate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Any kind of tomato served with a fried breakfast is an abomination before God. I respectfully disagree. I love roast tomatoes, and would happily have them on the side of most meals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pretty decent home-made hash brown. Had onion in it as well as potato. I do prefer a tattie scone though, that is a fair shout. But I doubt they've got them in this neck of the woods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Home-made - I will reserve judgement. Most Hash Browns have the taste and look of something that has been bought at Farmfoods/Iceland for a £5.00 for a bag of 1000. Cheap way to fill the corner of a plate with tasteless crap and that space filled with deep fried tasteless textureless potato blocks is normally the perfect shape and size for a lighting fried Tattie Scone to fill and enhance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I was thinking the other day we need to establish the ultimate p&b breakfast. Maybe there was already a thread? My ideal breakfast dish... (I like tomatoes but they don't go with breakfast - wash away the other flavours) bacon sausage fried egg scrambled egg black pudding mushrooms potato scone toast and butter beans haggis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Place around the corner does lambs liver on the breakfast. V tasty. A breakfast needs beans but they should be well cooked and melting. Had ones before that were hard and Crunchy. Yuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The amount of people in Bolton who can't words like bottle and hospital, and instead say bockle and hospickal. It's probably my least favourite thing about staying here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm not keen on square sausage in a fried breakfast. I like my square sausage in a roll, with a tattie scone and fried egg, but I don't like it on a plate for some reason. If I'm having sausages in a fried breakfast, I like links, ideally something herby like a lincolnshire style sausage. I reckon I could eat both fried and scrambled (and possibly poached, as was the case this morning) in a breakfast, but I guess it would be overkill. I need a lot of mushrooms. I've picked up the toast and butter thing too. Too much time spent in hotels South of the border. I had a fried slice in Manchester a few weeks ago too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Two airport related PTTGOYN. 1) I hate the duty-free shops. It's all shite, and the perfume smells make me feel slightly light-headed and sick. 2) Why the fuck does WH Smith want me to scan my boarding pass to be allowed to buy a f-ing paper and some gum? No-one is sneaking past security to buy overpriced crap in their shitty little shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
