I didn’t mind the tomatoes and beans, or the mushrooms. The tomatoes I had were broiled with what I believe was parmesan cheese and some spices. I didn’t care for their bangers, and I wouldn’t touch the blood sausage. The bacon was quite good. I went on a 3 week bus tour of the British Isles, and most of the time we were able to pick what we wanted from a hot buffet. I hated the way they did their toast. They never buttered it before they served it to you. It was brought to the table in one of those toast holders, so it was always cold by the time you got it. There’s nothing worse than putting butter on cold toast.

When I was a tourist in England, I never had the typical English breakfast. I remember having small breakfasts of yogurt, fruit and tea, and having afternoon tea food every day. Dinner was just different restaurants in London since I was based there and was always back in London at dinnertime.

“The best part about an English breakfast is that it enables one to avoid both an English lunch and an English dinner.”

A lot of English foods sound awful to me, but I LOVE my toast to be dry and crunchy, with cold butter on it. I can’t stand soggy toast. I know I’m weird; I’ve learned to live with it.
