I’ve never been lucky enough to have occasion to sample a full English or Irish, but man, that looks tasty! I’m intrigued by the black pudding...
I’m with you - pancakes, donuts, and the like for breakast are just too much sugar, and I feel like crap for the whole day afterward.
Black pudding just tastes like a finely ground ordinary sausage with a hint of spice and a dry consistency - best fried in bacon fat. It’s a bit like a hamburger or hotdog - best eaten without dwelling on what it contains! :)
