If you think about it logically, the jam goes on first, so that you can dollop the cream on, you can't spread jam onto a big dollop of cream. Butter goes before jam (say on toast), because it's a small amount of butter that you spread, and the jam after.
1st rule.. pour those beans onto plate right away let the food infuse with each other. 2nd rule Fried bread a must over toast. 3rd rule.. meant to make a mess when you eat bit of beans and tomato on shirt is normal.
I’m from North Wales and didn’t come across laver bread until I went toSouth Wales. Our B&B in Cardiff offered us a Welsh breakfast that included laver bread.
You should have tried Cardiff or Swansea (Especially around Penclawdd) for a Welsh Breakfast. They are harder to get across Wales these days due to the young generation being too picky with their food. Hope this helps.
Cockles and laverbread are mostly found in the Swansea and Gower areas of South Wales. Penclawdd on the Gower peninsula is historically the centre of Cockle production.
Had english breakfast once and liked it. But as you said, typical breakfast you really like is probably the one you grew up with as a child - so for me this is a typical german breakfast, which basically consist of bread roll with butter, jam or honey, sometimes ham. In Germany you typically don't cook for breakfast, only perhaps on sundays a boiled or scrambled egg (also regionally differences).
What you have there is an "English Breakfast" but it shouldn't be sold as a "Full English Breakfast" . For a true authentic "Full" , you need 10 items. Opinions vary as to what these 10 items should be, as well as regional variations, but to my mind a Full English should be : Egg Bacon Sausage Beans Tomato Mushrooms Black Pudding Hash browns Fried Bread Toast
As an older Brit I never had Hash Browns or toast when I was young, only fried bread. In addition there was always two sausages, two eggs and a whole Tomato cut in half.
I think we're a little more flexible about the exact number of separate items required for a Full English -- but we certainly can't make the total come to 10 by including hash browns. They are American.

@@Ynysmydwr No problem, glad to help. My 10 items would be 2 x Sausages, 2 x Eggs, 2x bacon, Black Pudding, Mushrooms, Baked Beans and Fried Bread, at least they are what the old greasy spoon cafes dished up! Happy days.

Heinz is an American company, baked beans is a British adaptation of an American recipe, but many producers outsource now so the beans may well be manufactured and packaged in Germany, and while we're still in the EU that can be considered pretty local. So nope, nothing to do with WW2, just modern business practices. You would use brown sauce just the same way you'd use ketchup, on whatever food you want. A similar brand to HP is called Daddies, which I think is actually American. It might just not be that popular there.
An additional aside comment: In addition to some of the US stores I saw mentioned for getting HP Sauce, you can also find it at Cost Plus World Market in their British Foods section. They have all sorts of great British food products there (both sweet and savory), including Heinz Baked Beans and one of my addictions, Salad Cream! And I've been able to find Heinz Baked Beans at almost any grocery store in my area, although it sounds like the recipes are slightly different between US and British made versions, so I may try buying both to do a comparison test...

“Heinz beans imported from Germany” - quite funny. No, the haricot beans come in from the USA, but are processed in the UK. 2 hour turn round from arrival at the factory to leaving as canned baked beans.
I would say Gower peninsula and South Carmarthenshire areas is where you would get a so called "Welsh" breakfast. Most parts of the country have pickled cockles in jars with vinegar but I think thats disgusting. Much nicer having fresh ones in their shells from Llanelli or Carmarthen market or even getting them yourself from the beaches. I have them with butter but you have to boil them in their shells to get them to open up. For this reason us south Carmarthenshire people never have them for breakfast as it is too much work - we have them for supper or tea with bread and butter. I think the "Welsh Breakfast" thing is something some hotels/B & B's here on the Gower/Carmarthenshire just made up
There’s not much difference between English, Scottish and Welsh breakfast in my experience. When I’ve stayed in Welsh Youth hostels I’ve had lovely Welsh breakfasts. I recommend YHA Pen Y Pass very beautiful and the perfect location to take the Pyg/Miners track to trek or hike Snowdon. I love Welsh Glamorgan sausages (I don’t eat meat), also Daddies sauce is the best. Scones are eaten in the afternoon after sandwiches, not for breakfast. Where were the hash browns?
Avoid places which serve beans in a separate bowl /jug - inevitably it's a marker of over charging . Stick with a cafe that serves it all up together and probably pay less

Heinz beans are manufactured just down the road from Chester in Wigan, the BBC recently broadcast a programme from the factory showing how they are manufactured.
The baked beans will have been made in the UK, we have factories here(imports to a number of countries). Heinz is actually an american company not german. I think you can get UK heinz baked beans in the US but they changed the label to just heinz beans or something. UK recipe of the beans are different to US made beans.
Being welsh and Having lived in wales all my life - 36yrs, I have never ate a welsh breakfast, it’s always english style lol, I live in south wales, there possibly are some places that may add laver bread and cockles to basically an english breakfast, & on the menu call it a “Welsh” breakfast, it would usually be in the gower/swansea area here in south wales where you’d get them, but only when they are in season, I also I don’t even think that cockles and laverbread are that popular of a dish any more though, especially not with the youngsters, but you can buy them from the market separately to make your own breakfast I think thats still a thing 🤔 and if they do a nearby cafe would probably be serving a welsh breakfast, I don’t know I Typically I try to avoid them as best I can as I am not partial to seafood & have tried Cockles, but never again 😐 lol.
To be fare Mark what you are describing is British breakfast as it is served all over the Uk. If the eggs and bacon come from England then it is an English breakfast and if they come from Wales it's a Welsh breakfast. Simple.
The breakfast does not need heinz to be an english breakfast but most british people woud swear heinz was the best brand. A few years ago the recipe was changed with tomato sauce weakened. Branston beans are now actually better and more like the original heinz. I usually see tomato and heinz beans as interchangeable. The 'banger' is often used to describe any sausages but is usually sold as such when it fails to have the meat content to be legally described as a sausage. Mushrooms seem to have so many ways of being cooked or presented in a breakfast and can make or break the meal. I prefer breakfasts with fried bread to have with the tomato that again can be presented in different forms. Don't worry so much what the rules are all the time, you do fine to do what works for you.
... when are people going to stop this ludicrous comparison of English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh breakfasts ... there never were four different breakfasts ... the term "full english breakfast" was used to differentiate between British and Continental breakfasts in international hotels ...
Thanks guys, looks very nice. I think full English and Welsh breakfast is usually the same thing. You can get some cafes in South Wales where I live that serve cockles and lavabread as a Welsh breakfast, but seems not so common. Expecting to see a few comments about the beans in a ramekin: Brits seems to get unfathomably triggered by such things! If you don't like that, tip them on the plate.
I love the full English Breakfast, but only ever had the FULL version (as described by many people on here already) while in the UK. But, even though I also grew up eating and loving pancakes and bacon, I've become a convert to English Breakfast and will often make a pseudo scaled down version with egg, (American) bacon, cooked tomato, mushrooms, beans, and toast. Although I can't stand black pudding, so when I was in UK I would substitute white pudding (which is pretty much black pudding without the blood). Regarding cream or jam first, I always liked spreading the cream on the entire scone and then adding the jam on top.
Baked beans have been sold in the UK since 1886 and manufacture in the UK since 1905. Unsure if they are still manufactured here. A full English needs bubble with it or a suitable replacement, hash browns for example.
Not just liked but also subscribed, I love your positive reviews of British food and find you both very likeable and down to earth. As has already been pointed out, Heinz baked beans are (still) made in the UK. Over to HP, this was made in the UK for at least a century, although HP stands for Houses of Parliament in London, as per the illustration on the label, in a factory in Aston, Birmingham, which controversially was closed in 2007 when production was relocated to the Netherlands. HP, or brown sauce (there are many brands of brown sauce like Daddies and store's own brands but it is generally viewed as a distinct species from HP) isn't really an equivalent to ketchup but more an alternative or extra condiment. In many cafes, as well as on many British breakfast or even lunch/dinner tables, both are a standard condiment, just as salt and pepper are. In fact it's quite common to add both to an English breakfast. HP or brown sauce is quite commonly also mixed into baked beans to spice them up, but never ketchup. As to mixing components of an English breakfast, you came to the right conclusion, pairings of 2 components are fine but any more than that and it just gets confusing. There are no hard and fast rules! I personally like to put bacon and egg together on a forkfull, and also a piece of sausage topped with beans works well. I think that egg and beans is a bit of a no-no though. As to the lack of pancakes, well if I make a cooked breakfast at home I don't limit myself to just one or two slices of buttered toast, whereas in a cafe you may well only have one or two. Also, as has been pointed out in other comments below, many people prefer fried bread over toast. A shame you couldn't find a Welsh breakfast. I think the description of seafood being involved is a bit vague and possibly misleading though, as far as I am aware the difference is the inclusion of laverbread, which isn't really a bread but cooked seaweed. Seaweed is very healthy and can be very tasty, as anyone who has eaten Japanese food - not just sushi - will testify. Also I just read on the wiki article about laverbread that in fact cockles are also very popular with a Welsh breakfast so I stand corrected on my above observation, you live and learn!
English breakfasts can be any combination(with tomatoes or without same as mushrooms). The standard is basically sausage,bacon and eggs with anything else added ie blackpudding,toast,fried bread,mushrooms etc. The choice is yours.I personally don't do beans! Everything is a personal choice and put any combination on your fork. No right or wrong. Enjoy!!!!!
I’m English from Yorkshire as a child in the fifties in fact as an adult we’ve never had baked beans with a full English breakfast when at home. We would have both sides fried bread sprinkled with white pepper with the fry up, definitely not black pepper. The toast would be after the breakfast. I don’t know when or where the beans became a standard for cafe breakfasts, most likely at greasy spoon trucking cafes, to fill up the drivers. Love your videos. Cream before the jam is our preference
The best English breakfast places are served at greasy spoons. Were they have fried bread and hash browns, and the tomato is actually tinned chopped tomato that you just mix with the whole plate and everything tastes amazing. And literally, a full English will cost no more than 5 pounds at those places.
It was invented in Nottingham by a café/breakfast bar owner who marketed it to his customers by (falsely) claiming it was the sauce they served in The Houses Of Parliament! Hence the name.
HP sauce is used on steaks here in US and Canada. To get in US buy on Amazon and it comes from Canada. My daughter did say she saw some at Safeway here though I am not sure.
Beans traditionally are served on the same plate, all the flavours of the other ingredients mix together, lovely.. Its a recent trent to have them in pots..
This was so funny to watch! Um I’m welsh but I don’t think I’ve ever had a ‘Welsh’ breakfast??!! I’m not sure but, I’ve had a full breakfast with everything you had but with added toast AND fried toast and sometimes hash browns. ... are those a Welsh thing??!! There’s lots of ‘belly buster’ full cooked breakfasts around here which is crazy... like 3 of everything!!! I do love a cooked breccie but only now and again haha
Basically same as English (unless very authentic..area specific) or in Tesco cafe (which is poor) ask for Welsh breakfast and get English. North Wales.
The full English varies from place to place around England. The one you had was a bit pretentious with the beans in a separate container. Beans should be free to roam around your plate with preferably a fried egg that has a runny yoke and some toast (or fried bread) to mop it up it all up with once the solids have been eaten. Definitely mix and match items on the fork and change it about with each mouthfull maybe sausage and mushrooms, then maybe the same with beens and egg in that egg yoke with brown sauce (HP Fruity brown is my fave brown sauce) (Oh edited, because I forgot hash browns and black pudding not that I like the latter personally) Tomatoes should either be cooked or tinned not fresh. Not really a traveller myself but watched a few of your posts recently and like your positive manner and giggles. Now subscribed 👍 Oh btw, I'm from Runcorn! Did you see our own little ol' castle? or at least what's left of it!! 😁 Enjoy your travels 🖖😊 Oh Scones, a thick layer of jam first then a dollop of clotted cream.
I got to 5 mins 50 secs then you lost me, temporarily, while I went away for second breakfast. Back at 9.35 a.m. to watch the rest. My first breakfast piece of toast turned out to be inadequate when I saw you tucking in to that loaded fork.
Never even heard of a Welsh Breakfast and I spent over 20 years living near the Welsh border. Of course you should drink tea with an English breakfast.😊
Missing hash browns, fried bread, whole plum tomatoes cooked, scrambled egg (yes, it comes with both scrambled and fried) and ideally lincoln or Cumberland sausages
Every time I click your videos I get hungry., I will keep watching and keep being hungry, I LOVE BREAKFASTTTTTTT, Dam you🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂Be Safe, Belus Traveller
all sausages are bangers!!.. Beans are the juice that binds it altogether and makes the tea taste sooo good after! and im 60 and beans have always been a part of it..
I don't think I could do the black pudding. Plus baked beans are just not my thing but it looks delicious. How odd that it was that hard to find a traditional Welsh breakfast! I grew up with crepes or potato pancakes for a fancier breakfast and I still prefer potato pancakes and eggs w/ a lil bacon as my favorite indulgent breakfast.
I've been to England B 4. However, I never tried clotted cream. I'm curious.......in your opinion is clotted cream the same as what we, in America call cream cheese? No matter which way you slice it.......to me the mere mention of 'full English Breakfast' conjures up thoughts of clogged arteries: pork, blood, sausage, clotted cream. Enough to make most American doctors and health conscious citizens gasp or pass out in horror.
Clotted cream is its own thing (nothing like cream cheese apart from the consistency). You make it by slowly heating heavy cream. You're left with a super thick cream that is really buttery, with a thin crust on top. It's usually only eaten with scones, but we also make the best Ice Cream out of it! I find your opinion of the full English quite funny considering the stereotypes of calorific American food :D It's usually only eaten when you have a big day ahead of you. The lighter option is a bacon/sausage butty. Which is just fried back bacon/sausage in a buttered roll with either Ketchup or Brown sauce!
Oh thats a shame. I dont know if they still do it, but Watkins Restaurant in the Empire Hotel in Llandudno (which is just a short distance from Conwy) certainly used to do a Welsh Breakfast. Both the hotel and the restaurant are still there. If you ever go back to North Wales maybe check it out and see if they still do it
1:09 I get it now! The correct pronunciation of "tomato" varies by ACCENT! Unlike in the American accent, where it is correct to pronounce the "a" as a long "a," in the English accent, it is correct to pronounce it is a short "o"! Having been born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks, I've heard that word pronounced both ways before!
Mushrooms are a must for the full English, but I do not include the black pudding. Did you try the kippers for breakfast in Scotland? And yes, a banger is a banger whenever you eat them, but especially around Nov 5th.
Bury black pudding from Bury in Lancashire is the best in the world in my opinion. As far as I know baked beans originated in the UK in the current form.
Pretty sure they actually originated in the US, strangely. They were brought to the UK fairly early on though, pre-WWI, and they were hugely popular, much more than in the US. I guess Heinz discontinued Baked Beans in the US at some point and for years they were only made in the UK.
English breakfasts are the best in the world. When I travel it's what I crave and it's the first thing I make when I get home, well that and a roast dinner. Great video guys
Love it! If you are in London go to Hawksmoor. Better known as a steak place but they serve the best English breakfast I have ever had. The tomatoes should have been roasted or at least seared and you should have had white pudding as well with it, which is my preference. Great video don't sweat the Welsh breakfast but the Scots do add a seafood twist to their breakfast if you are on the coast.
Little fact for you, the 'HP' in HP sauce stands for House's of Parliament, because HP sauce was invented by a chef that worked in the Houses of Parliament.
Baked beans used to be pork and beans but around WW2 (I think) there was rationing and meat was scarce so they took out the meat and it stayed like that.
I always have mushrooms. Fried bread is nice. Sometimes tinned tomatoes. bacon, egg, sausage, beans, black pudding, toast, hash browns sometimes. Ketchup or Daddies brown sauce. Ermm...
Jam, then clotted cream on a scone but never for breakfast. Always mushrooms with a full English and try a full English from a proper greasy spoon. Baked beans are generic, not necessarily Heinz. Other items can include hash browns or bubble and squeak, scrambled or poached eggs. Some people even like a bit of kidney
I am pretty sure that baked beans are not part of a 'traditional' full english. (Neither are hash browns), but are a more recent addition. But i guess like everything... things evolve... sometimes for the better and sometimes...not...And as the comments below say, fried bread would definitely qualify as one of the original 'ingredients'. I'm a new subscriber guys, really enjoying your videos and vlogs.. definitely feel the good time you are having. :)
Definitely should have gone to South Wales for Welsh breakfasts. Swansea/ Gower is best as cockles and lavabread are produced there. There's a place called The Cwtch in Swansea that serves a good breakfast.
I spied no bubble'n'squeak... Bubble and squeak is the quintessential English (nay, British) cooked breakfast food. Leftover veg, leftover potatoes, fried up to a hard crust (anyone who says it shouldn't have a crust is not to be trusted) and served up with any of the other traditional breakfast items. Some are strict and say B&S is boiled cabbage and boiled potatoes fried up, but really just so long as you have brassicas, and potatoes fried up to a crust, it is bubble and squeak.
I married a Brit but I never had a real English breakfast until I visited England in 1996. A full English breakfast is the best! Although I'm not a of black pudding and won't eat it. You're missing the fried bread with your breakfast:):) I'm so hungry now! lol
You were in Conwy? You could have gotten a full Welsh breakfast at most of the hotels... if you stayed in that hotel. The hotels in Conwy are more like a BnB. They've got like 10 rooms max each.
But Mark Weins (a food vloger) found it in Wales..... The seafood you are talking about..... They also had a vegetarian sausage in their platter which was made of cheese......
I could've sworn another vlogger had a Welsh breakfast in a cafe in Castle Street in Conwy. That's the one that is just back from the Quay and runs parallel with it. Maybe it's closed now or they've stopped doing Welsh breakfasts. What a shame. Btw, Conwy is by far my favourite place in the UK. That view of the castle as you come across the bridge is unforgettable. The nearby Great Orme is fantastic too. There are Bronze Age Copper Mines that you can visit on there.
Welsh Breakfast with cockles and Lava bread is more typically in the South of Wales, the best being in Swansey and around the Gowa Peninsula. They don'd have it typically in the north.
Shame you didn't get to try a Welsh breakfast, I was looking forward to watching that from the vlog title. I've been to Wales a few times - I live in the UK, but only ever had toast or something from the friends I was staying with. Now what you really need to try, is a full Scottish breakfast. Porridge, toast, cereal, then a massive fry up with bacon, sausages - or lorn sausage to be accurate, mushrooms, tattie scones (potato scones), grilled tomato, black pudding (Stornoway black pudding is the absolute best), and of course haggis. You won't want to eat for the rest of the day lol. Or, if you're in Northern Ireland, there's the Ulster fry. Might get one similar in the Republic of Ireland, but we didn't.
I thought HP sauce was like BBQ sauce, But I am Aussie, not American. So who knows. I can't wait to see where you go next, I wonder if we will ever cross travels!
I love english breakfast soooo much that every time my cousin come from Portugal I ask him to bring me Heinz beans. I'm from Brazil and can'f find them anywhere 😓
For years I always had Ketchup on bacon sandwiches, and HP (Brown) sauce on sausage sandwiches. Then one day I have both! - a little ketchup and H sauce together. It was a life changing moment.
If you think about it logically, the jam goes on first, so that you can dollop the cream on, you can't spread jam onto a big dollop of cream. Butter goes before jam (say on toast), because it's a small amount of butter that you spread, and the jam after.
I am a Yorkshireman, so it kills me to say this, but THE BEST black pudding is to be found in Bury, Lancashire.
I do agree. I much prefer the Lancashire Black Pudding.
@@HippyJohnWales yes it is 😋

Being welsh and Having lived in wales all my life - 36yrs, I have never ate a welsh breakfast, it’s always english style lol, I live in south wales, there possibly are some places that may add laver bread and cockles to basically an english breakfast, & on the menu call it a “Welsh” breakfast, it would usually be in the gower/swansea area here in south wales where you’d get them, but only when they are in season, I
also I don’t even think that cockles and laverbread are that popular of a dish any more though, especially not with the youngsters, but you can buy them from the market separately to make your own breakfast I think thats still a thing 🤔 and if they do a nearby cafe would probably be serving a welsh breakfast, I don’t know I Typically I try to avoid them as best I can as I am not partial to seafood & have tried Cockles, but never again 😐 lol.
To be fare Mark what you are describing is British breakfast as it is served all over the Uk. If the eggs and bacon come from England then it is an English breakfast and if they come from Wales it's a Welsh breakfast. Simple.
@@timothyphillips5043 Not quite, there are Scottish breakfasts too with the likes of a Potato Scone and Square Sausage.
Dont forget the bubble and squeak
That's a meal on its own with a poached egg on top and HP Sauce.
The breakfast does not need heinz to be an english breakfast but most british people woud swear heinz was the best brand. A few years ago the recipe was changed with tomato sauce weakened. Branston beans are now actually better and more like the original heinz. I usually see tomato and heinz beans as interchangeable. The 'banger' is often used to describe any sausages but is usually sold as such when it fails to have the meat content to be legally described as a sausage. Mushrooms seem to have so many ways of being cooked or presented in a breakfast and can make or break the meal. I prefer breakfasts with fried bread to have with the tomato that again can be presented in different forms. Don't worry so much what the rules are all the time, you do fine to do what works for you.
Haha it depends where in the UK where you come from what order you put it in haha so funny. Oooh the drama hahaha xx
... when are people going to stop this ludicrous comparison of English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh breakfasts ... there never were four different breakfasts ... the term "full english breakfast" was used to differentiate between British and Continental breakfasts in international hotels ...
I have watched quite a few videos of Americans trying English food and I am always amazed at how much they put in their mouths at once.
I am Welsh-and I have never heard of a Welsh breakfast
Hah yeah me neither. The Welsh are famous for their lamb. Never heard of a Welsh breakfast though.
Bless you. I love how you try to experience authenticity. It doesn’t always be. Beleivable
Thanks guys, looks very nice. I think full English and Welsh breakfast is usually the same thing. You can get some cafes in South Wales where I live that serve cockles and lavabread as a Welsh breakfast, but seems not so common. Expecting to see a few comments about the beans in a ramekin: Brits seems to get unfathomably triggered by such things! If you don't like that, tip them on the plate.
>> beans in a ramekin: Brits seems to get unfathomably triggered by such things
The best black pudding originates from Bury in the north of England
Another vote for fried bread - a must have
I prefer bread and butter, but that is due to the fact I have tinned plum tomatoes and I let the bread soak up the juice mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I love the full English Breakfast, but only ever had the FULL version (as described by many people on here already) while in the UK. But, even though I also grew up eating and loving pancakes and bacon, I've become a convert to English Breakfast and will often make a pseudo scaled down version with egg, (American) bacon, cooked tomato, mushrooms, beans, and toast. Although I can't stand black pudding, so when I was in UK I would substitute white pudding (which is pretty much black pudding without the blood). Regarding cream or jam first, I always liked spreading the cream on the entire scone and then adding the jam on top.
Absolutely love black pudding with my English breakfast.
Baked beans have been sold in the UK since 1886 and manufacture in the UK since 1905. Unsure if they are still manufactured here. A full English needs bubble with it or a suitable replacement, hash browns for example.
Not just liked but also subscribed, I love your positive reviews of British food and find you both very likeable and down to earth. As has already been pointed out, Heinz baked beans are (still) made in the UK. Over to HP, this was made in the UK for at least a century, although HP stands for Houses of Parliament in London, as per the illustration on the label, in a factory in Aston, Birmingham, which controversially was closed in 2007 when production was relocated to the Netherlands. HP, or brown sauce (there are many brands of brown sauce like Daddies and store's own brands but it is generally viewed as a distinct species from HP) isn't really an equivalent to ketchup but more an alternative or extra condiment. In many cafes, as well as on many British breakfast or even lunch/dinner tables, both are a standard condiment, just as salt and pepper are. In fact it's quite common to add both to an English breakfast. HP or brown sauce is quite commonly also mixed into baked beans to spice them up, but never ketchup.
As to mixing components of an English breakfast, you came to the right conclusion, pairings of 2 components are fine but any more than that and it just gets confusing. There are no hard and fast rules! I personally like to put bacon and egg together on a forkfull, and also a piece of sausage topped with beans works well. I think that egg and beans is a bit of a no-no though.
As to the lack of pancakes, well if I make a cooked breakfast at home I don't limit myself to just one or two slices of buttered toast, whereas in a cafe you may well only have one or two. Also, as has been pointed out in other comments below, many people prefer fried bread over toast.
A shame you couldn't find a Welsh breakfast. I think the description of seafood being involved is a bit vague and possibly misleading though, as far as I am aware the difference is the inclusion of laverbread, which isn't really a bread but cooked seaweed. Seaweed is very healthy and can be very tasty, as anyone who has eaten Japanese food - not just sushi - will testify. Also I just read on the wiki article about laverbread that in fact cockles are also very popular with a Welsh breakfast so I stand corrected on my above observation, you live and learn!
English breakfasts can be any combination(with tomatoes or without same as mushrooms).
The standard is basically sausage,bacon and eggs with anything else added ie blackpudding,toast,fried bread,mushrooms etc. The choice is yours.I personally don't do beans! Everything is a personal choice and put any combination on your fork. No right or wrong.
Enjoy!!!!!
I’m English from Yorkshire as a child in the fifties in fact as an adult we’ve never had baked beans with a full English breakfast when at home. We would have both sides fried bread sprinkled with white pepper with the fry up, definitely not black pepper. The toast would be after the breakfast.
I don’t know when or where the beans became a standard for cafe breakfasts, most likely at greasy spoon trucking cafes, to fill up the drivers.
Love your videos. Cream before the jam is our preference
The best English breakfast places are served at greasy spoons. Were they have fried bread and hash browns, and the tomato is actually tinned chopped tomato that you just mix with the whole plate and everything tastes amazing. And literally, a full English will cost no more than 5 pounds at those places.
Anyplace that serves you beans in a little bowl of their own.....so wrong. Black pudding needs to be dunked in the egg yolk
HP sauce is available in canada. It is my fav sauce of all the time
It was invented in Nottingham by a café/breakfast bar owner who marketed it to his customers by (falsely) claiming it was the sauce they served in The Houses Of Parliament! Hence the name.
@@fossy4321 Now made in Holland !
@@tonypate9174 Sad

HP sauce is used on steaks here in US and Canada. To get in US buy on Amazon and it comes from Canada. My daughter did say she saw some at Safeway here though I am not sure.
The best bit of the full English is eating various combinations of each of the ingredients, washed down with piping hot tea.
All I can hear is the cast of coronation street behind you 😂
Beans traditionally are served on the same plate, all the flavours of the other ingredients mix together, lovely.. Its a recent trent to have them in pots..
Very well played you guys. Thanks for being informed...
This was so funny to watch! Um I’m welsh but I don’t think I’ve ever had a ‘Welsh’ breakfast??!! I’m not sure but, I’ve had a full breakfast with everything you had but with added toast AND fried toast and sometimes hash browns. ... are those a Welsh thing??!! There’s lots of ‘belly buster’ full cooked breakfasts around here which is crazy... like 3 of everything!!! I do love a cooked breccie but only now and again haha
I always thought hash browns were American???
@@solatiumz yes they are.
Basically same as English (unless very authentic..area specific) or in Tesco cafe (which is poor) ask for Welsh breakfast and get English. North Wales.
Breaky has a "C" in it??!!
The full English varies from place to place around England.
The one you had was a bit pretentious with the beans in a separate container.
Beans should be free to roam around your plate with preferably a fried egg that has a runny yoke and some toast (or fried bread) to mop it up it all up with once the solids have been eaten.
Definitely mix and match items on the fork and change it about with each mouthfull maybe sausage and mushrooms, then maybe the same with beens and egg in that egg yoke with brown sauce (HP Fruity brown is my fave brown sauce)
(Oh edited, because I forgot hash browns and black pudding not that I like the latter personally)
Tomatoes should either be cooked or tinned not fresh.
Not really a traveller myself but watched a few of your posts recently and like your positive manner and giggles.
Now subscribed 👍
Oh btw, I'm from Runcorn!
Did you see our own little ol' castle? or at least what's left of it!! 😁
Enjoy your travels 🖖😊
Oh Scones, a thick layer of jam first then a dollop of clotted cream.
I think you pretty much "nailed it" I was going to comment but realised you covered it all. Nice one. ha ha.
@@fossy4321 ha-ha, cheers 🍻 😊
Christ I'm starving now!!
@@fossy4321 😂😂😂
I like both tinned and fresh Toms on a breakfast
Great combinations - black pudding and egg, sausage, beans and mushroom with HP sauce, bacon and tomato with toast...
I got to 5 mins 50 secs then you lost me, temporarily, while I went away for second breakfast. Back at 9.35 a.m. to watch the rest.
My first breakfast piece of toast turned out to be inadequate when I saw you tucking in to that loaded fork.
Great food a full English. Nothing else compares!
The best black pudding is from Chadwicks black pudding stall on Bury market. They steam them, so much nicer than fried.
Never even heard of a Welsh Breakfast and I spent over 20 years living near the Welsh border. Of course you should drink tea with an English breakfast.😊
Builders tea, put hairs on your chest.
@@solatiumz Yeah, on the inside.
Missing hash browns, fried bread, whole plum tomatoes cooked, scrambled egg (yes, it comes with both scrambled and fried) and ideally lincoln or Cumberland sausages
Every time I click your videos I get hungry., I will keep watching and keep being hungry, I LOVE BREAKFASTTTTTTT, Dam you🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂Be Safe, Belus Traveller
Glad you got outside of London! Subscribed :)
I always used to have the ‘olympic’ full English breakfast from the ‘little chef’ restaurant. Largest FEB you could get.
all sausages are bangers!!.. Beans are the juice that binds it altogether and makes the tea taste sooo good after! and im 60 and beans have always been a part of it..
I don't think I could do the black pudding. Plus baked beans are just not my thing but it looks delicious. How odd that it was that hard to find a traditional Welsh breakfast! I grew up with crepes or potato pancakes for a fancier breakfast and I still prefer potato pancakes and eggs w/ a lil bacon as my favorite indulgent breakfast.
I've been to England B 4. However, I never tried clotted cream. I'm curious.......in your opinion is clotted cream the same as what we, in America call cream cheese?
No matter which way you slice it.......to me the mere mention of 'full English Breakfast' conjures up thoughts of clogged arteries: pork, blood, sausage, clotted cream. Enough to make most American doctors and health conscious citizens gasp or pass out in horror.
Clotted cream is its own thing (nothing like cream cheese apart from the consistency). You make it by slowly heating heavy cream. You're left with a super thick cream that is really buttery, with a thin crust on top. It's usually only eaten with scones, but we also make the best Ice Cream out of it! I find your opinion of the full English quite funny considering the stereotypes of calorific American food :D It's usually only eaten when you have a big day ahead of you. The lighter option is a bacon/sausage butty. Which is just fried back bacon/sausage in a buttered roll with either Ketchup or Brown sauce!
No cholesterol, no fun!
Oh thats a shame. I dont know if they still do it, but Watkins Restaurant in the Empire Hotel in Llandudno (which is just a short distance from Conwy) certainly used to do a Welsh Breakfast. Both the hotel and the restaurant are still there. If you ever go back to North Wales maybe check it out and see if they still do it
1:09 I get it now! The correct pronunciation of "tomato" varies by ACCENT! Unlike in the American accent, where it is correct to pronounce the "a" as a long "a," in the English accent, it is correct to pronounce it is a short "o"! Having been born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks, I've heard that word pronounced both ways before!
Henry Heinz - founder of the Heinz Company, actually started it all in Pittsburgh :)
Mushrooms are a must for the full English, but I do not include the black pudding. Did you try the kippers for breakfast in Scotland? And yes, a banger is a banger whenever you eat them, but especially around Nov 5th.
A proper English has flat mushrooms rather than button mushrooms. An aristocratic English breakfast is salmon on toast with a poached egg on top.
Bury black pudding from Bury in Lancashire is the best in the world in my opinion. As far as I know baked beans originated in the UK in the current form.
I'm glad you said 'in my opinion'. It's all personal taste.
Pretty sure they actually originated in the US, strangely. They were brought to the UK fairly early on though, pre-WWI, and they were hugely popular, much more than in the US. I guess Heinz discontinued Baked Beans in the US at some point and for years they were only made in the UK.
HP (which stands for Houses of Parliament) sauce is also made by Heinz.
English breakfasts are the best in the world. When I travel it's what I crave and it's the first thing I make when I get home, well that and a roast dinner. Great video guys
Love it! If you are in London go to Hawksmoor. Better known as a steak place but they serve the best English breakfast I have ever had. The tomatoes should have been roasted or at least seared and you should have had white pudding as well with it, which is my preference. Great video don't sweat the Welsh breakfast but the Scots do add a seafood twist to their breakfast if you are on the coast.
Little fact for you, the 'HP' in HP sauce stands for House's of Parliament, because HP sauce was invented by a chef that worked in the Houses of Parliament.
Baked beans used to be pork and beans but around WW2 (I think) there was rationing and meat was scarce so they took out the meat and it stayed like that.
I always have mushrooms. Fried bread is nice. Sometimes tinned tomatoes. bacon, egg, sausage, beans, black pudding, toast, hash browns sometimes. Ketchup or Daddies brown sauce. Ermm...
I prefer either grilled tomatoes or plum tomatoes. And they never cook the bacon enough for me, I prefer it crispy.
Jam, then clotted cream on a scone but never for breakfast. Always mushrooms with a full English and try a full English from a proper greasy spoon. Baked beans are generic, not necessarily Heinz. Other items can include hash browns or bubble and squeak, scrambled or poached eggs. Some people even like a bit of kidney
I am pretty sure that baked beans are not part of a 'traditional' full english. (Neither are hash browns), but are a more recent addition. But i guess like everything... things evolve... sometimes for the better and sometimes...not...And as the comments below say, fried bread would definitely qualify as one of the original 'ingredients'. I'm a new subscriber guys, really enjoying your videos and vlogs.. definitely feel the good time you are having. :)
black pudding with a big amount of the egg yolk is my fave .
Definitely should have gone to South Wales for Welsh breakfasts. Swansea/ Gower is best as cockles and lavabread are produced there. There's a place called The Cwtch in Swansea that serves a good breakfast.
The cafe in Wales where I often had a full breakfast, there was a choice of beans or tomatoes. They also served it with hash browns and toast.
One of my besties is from London and they always eat mushrooms with their full english. And she slices the tomatoes as opposed to a half.
I spied no bubble'n'squeak... Bubble and squeak is the quintessential English (nay, British) cooked breakfast food. Leftover veg, leftover potatoes, fried up to a hard crust (anyone who says it shouldn't have a crust is not to be trusted) and served up with any of the other traditional breakfast items.
Some are strict and say B&S is boiled cabbage and boiled potatoes fried up, but really just so long as you have brassicas, and potatoes fried up to a crust, it is bubble and squeak.
Cream then jam = Devonshire, jam then cream = Cornish. The two different ways to enjoy a cream tea! (from a Devon girl now living in New Zealand!)
Good on ya
I married a Brit but I never had a real English breakfast until I visited England in 1996. A full English breakfast is the best! Although I'm not a of black pudding and won't eat it. You're missing the fried bread with your breakfast:):) I'm so hungry now! lol
You were in Conwy? You could have gotten a full Welsh breakfast at most of the hotels... if you stayed in that hotel. The hotels in Conwy are more like a BnB. They've got like 10 rooms max each.
HP (brown) sauce is brilliant (HP stands - in this instance - for Houses of Parliament although it is also the Manufacturer).
But Mark Weins (a food vloger) found it in Wales..... The seafood you are talking about..... They also had a vegetarian sausage in their platter which was made of cheese......
Southerners don't generally have black pudding so there are regional differences in an English Breakfast.
I could've sworn another vlogger had a Welsh breakfast in a cafe in Castle Street in Conwy. That's the one that is just back from the Quay and runs parallel with it. Maybe it's closed now or they've stopped doing Welsh breakfasts. What a shame. Btw, Conwy is by far my favourite place in the UK. That view of the castle as you come across the bridge is unforgettable. The nearby Great Orme is fantastic too. There are Bronze Age Copper Mines that you can visit on there.
Welsh Breakfast with cockles and Lava bread is more typically in the South of Wales, the best being in Swansey and around the Gowa Peninsula. They don'd have it typically in the north.
Shame you didn't get to try a Welsh breakfast, I was looking forward to watching that from the vlog title. I've been to Wales a few times - I live in the UK, but only ever had toast or something from the friends I was staying with.
Now what you really need to try, is a full Scottish breakfast. Porridge, toast, cereal, then a massive fry up with bacon, sausages - or lorn sausage to be accurate, mushrooms, tattie scones (potato scones), grilled tomato, black pudding (Stornoway black pudding is the absolute best), and of course haggis. You won't want to eat for the rest of the day lol.
Or, if you're in Northern Ireland, there's the Ulster fry. Might get one similar in the Republic of Ireland, but we didn't.
Putting the cream on the scone before the jam is known as a Devonshire cream tea. Jam first then cream is known as a Cornish cream tea I believe.
I thought HP sauce was like BBQ sauce, But I am Aussie, not American. So who knows. I can't wait to see where you go next, I wonder if we will ever cross travels!
It's nothing like barbecue,it is tangy,vinegary.
I'm Welsh and I've never been anywhere that serves Welsh breakfast because it's not really a huge thing over here
I love english breakfast soooo much that every time my cousin come from Portugal I ask him to bring me Heinz beans. I'm from Brazil and can'f find them anywhere 😓
For years I always had Ketchup on bacon sandwiches, and HP (Brown) sauce on sausage sandwiches. Then one day I have both! - a little ketchup and H sauce together. It was a life changing moment.
I shall try that!
