Hello EIE, these were two amazing meals. I have to choose the traditional breakfast due to the sausage, beans, and mushrooms. Plus, it was a lot cheaper. And your combo bites were better. Thanks for showing. See you soon😊
Think I would have to go for breakfast one, even though getting the butter out of the tub looked difficult. The beans and pork on breakfast two look delicious. Tough choice today!
Hi, I have watched quite a few of your vids on the breakfast meal and they all come from restaurants. the fry up breakfast is a working class meal and you need to go to working class cafes that truckers use with the meals cooked by Englishmen in England, Scotsmen in Scotland etc as there is a difference in their breakfast items. you would not go to a chinese, indian french restaurant and have the food cooked by another countries national and expect to get the true taste of the dish being cooked. The problem is there is now very few English run cafes and even less English run restaurant.
@@capitalb5889 yes there are a lot of low grade cafes but if you are using them day to day you will go to the ones that use quality items eg free range eggs, Wiltshire bacon, Cumberland sausage etc quality uncut loaf from a bakers. ask your viewers for suggestions on where to find them. I would not order fish and chips from a pub or restaurant again I would go to a well recommend fish and chip shop by checking goggle as there are plenty who have won awards up and down the country.
Both of these looked awesome! When I used to live in the Black Country, I had some great cafes by me… full English and a cup of tea - £6. I love Black Pudding!! 😋 Reg belly pork looked good to! …..Smithy
Great video thank you. Number one for me, look at those beautiful eggs. The second one didn't hold up for me because the eggs were overcooked and covered in chives which don't belong there. 😄
I would go for your first breakfast as it is more like a traditional breakfast but if I wanted something slightly different I would love to try the second one.
A proper black pudding is bigger than two sausage mate, get up to Bury market and get a decent one!! Lol, I have half of one with mine, the dog has the other half!!
I could feed my family for a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the price of that second breakfast! Why always the high end establishments? That said the first one for me.
1st £14,30 the £1.10 for the black pudding on the £10.45 you may ask why if you are going to add just go for the £14.95 top one with a lot more on it. 2nd on the eggs did look smaller. when you 1st see the meal it just does not have as much an impact as the 1st place. its nice to see own made items but i would prefer the bacon slices to belly pork but £18 you could had the bigger breakfast at the 1st place then the prices would be the same. I would bet then you would pic the 1st place for more items on the plate
Breakfast two was trying way too hard to break the mould of what actually makes an English breakfast. I think breakfast one nailed it here. Looked good quality and had everything you would want.
I would have to go with the traditional breakfast, when it’s done right it is unbeatable and that one looked very good. Although I would prefer a normal tomato rather than tinned.
Both were a bit pricey but then again you have to pay for quality. They both looked very good indeed, a great idea is get both plates of food and stick both breakfasts on the same plate, that would be winner!
Is that in the rules...having add-ons 🤔 for me a traditional English cooked breakfast has to have grilled fresh tomatoes not tinned and fried bread, not that I like fried bread 😅
Some people complain about the hashbrowns being American. Well if that's the case for these "purists", perhaps they'll be happy giving up their chips as well. They can just have fish, instead of fish and chips. Potatoes are native to the Americas, not the the UK or Europe.
How on eath can you consider anything a breakast with black pudding.... Its a staple of any breakfast in the UK irrespective of which country you're in and comes before beans, tomato or mushrooms
I know you love Hash Browns. I’m not really a lover. However I recently had a breakfast of a Hash Brown Omelette Breakfast. I was amazed. Cooked on a griddle. It was an omelette made around Hash Brown potatoes quite thick. It was then filled with with spicy sausage. It was really tasty. If you can find it? I think you will be really happy.
Breakfast 2 wasn't breakfast - more look you said, brunch. So it would have to be number one for me. I do loke the idea of having belly pork in a brunch, but there again I have had steak as part of a brunch in the past. It was kind of sad that black pudding was not included as part of the traditional breakfast and for northerners no potato cakes, Yes breakfasts are definitely regional.
Totally agree the second one a brunch dish ,both looked tasty maybe a duck egg ( the yolks are bigger) and a bit of fried bread would be perfect with crispy hash browns, my fave brekkie! Looked like u enjoyed that EIM!Great video again.
Hey! Both looked real yummy! The second looked much more creative and of its own spark. First looked delicious too but less of a journey outside the general English breakfast. Tough to choose - but if I had to order one I would want to try all the cool stuff on the 2nd!
I would like to try the second, I have made the traditional on many occasions, but the belly pork and the black pudding with apple and fennel sound great, now if I can find a place that makes the black pudding in the US, I'll give it a go and decide. Great video, please keep them coming.
Wow, those combo bites in the first place looked extraordinary and I've only seen a mushroom like that, (from the second place) on an episode of the X-Files. Keep up the great work
Hi there, did you know that some classic traditional Great British Breakfast come with Sautéed Potatoes - you could compare this version of the Great British Breakfast with the modern version of the Great British Breakfast with the Hash Brown. Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce, St Albans. Hertfordshire.
First one for me pricey tho, would order without black pudding. Might ask if could swop it for fried bread. The second one id have sent back over cooked eggs home made beans no thanks belly porks surely for later in the day...
I agree, the 2nd meal is not really a Breakfast, it's more like a dinner or Vegetarian dish minus the pork belly. Even the black pudding was a veggie version, no?
Tough decision. I found the bacon and sausage in the first one to be more appealing than the crispy belly pork but loved the look of the hash browns. Probably would vote for the traditional.
You have to have sausages and bacon as part of a breakfast. When i saw the thumbnail i was expecting you to be talking about hash browns! Personally i'm not a fan of black pudding or tomatoes and toast i can take or leave ( I can make toast at home), so when these are offered as part of a listed breakfast i ask about a swap. More often than not i get an extra sausage in place of the black pudding, and some hashbrowns instead of the toast. The tomatoes are the negotiator so if i get a quizzical look at the request i say well you can also drop the tomatoes!
The traditional breakfast for, hands down... I hate it when they mess around with a perfect meal and add chips, potatoe's and bloody Yorkshire puddings, it is bad enough that very few give you a slice of fried bread.
The first one looked good, but I think loses points because the tomato did look like it was just poured out of a tin. Plus no hash browns. Boo! The second one looked like everything was pretty much home made. Yes, the eggs could have been done a bit better. They looked a tad over cooked, but everything else looked great. I would go with the second choice.
i did like the first one, better apart from the melting butter in the jar! not keen on the tomatoes, they looked chopped, i like a plum tomato. the second one looked very nice but it was more of a brunch and NO BACON!!! shame😆
At the risk of a massive tongue lashing, shouldn’t a traditional EB include fried bread? A bit of bubble & squeak? Just sayin’. Beyond that I never tire of watching this lovely man with his broad northern accent, love of blood pudding and ability to scarf down a huge EB 😂
the top option at the 1st place had fried bread on it, and if he had picked that then the prices would be closer. But the 1st place would have a lot more items on the plate like 3 bacon. 2 hash etc.
bubble and squeak is purely cockney and last tme I checked the east end of london wasn't England... no bubble and squeak on a breakfast, but I would support your call for fried bread.
Which breakfast did you prefer?
Comment below 😀
I think the 2nd one takes it for me 👍❤🇬🇧
Good video I'd eat both
good video 👍
I think i would have the first breakfast for the eggs as the second did not look as good.
Two nice looking breakfasts but a traditional breakfast should have fried bread and fresh tomatoes even though I prefer tinned.
Yep, I agree. Fried bread and tinned tomatoes. Plus some good old bubble and squeak.
Both breakfasts looked delicious, but it's gota be breakfast number one for me,cheers for another great review.
Thanks 😋 Glad you enjoyed it
Number 1. I like my breakfast with scrambled eggs, fried bread and bubble and squeak.
Okay. Normally I am not a purist but your video has brought out the purist in me 😂 . Traditional all the way for me.
Oooh I can't do tinned tomatoes (too metallic tasting) but the rest looked good. ❤🇬🇧
It adds a nice sauce to the combo bites 😋
FIRST ONE LOOKS PERFECT
It was a great looking breakfast
Both breakfasts looked good . I would pick the first one.
Great video, that first meal is how I want my brekkie to look.
Hello EIE, these were two amazing meals. I have to choose the traditional breakfast due to the sausage, beans, and mushrooms. Plus, it was a lot cheaper. And your combo bites were better. Thanks for showing. See you soon😊
Thanks 😀
I'll be staying 2 nights in Leeds in November (MOT!!) so I know where I'll be going for my fry-ups those 2 mornings, thanks EIE!
They're both great places
Think I would have to go for breakfast one, even though getting the butter out of the tub looked difficult. The beans and pork on breakfast two look delicious. Tough choice today!
It is a tough choice between the two
Liked the look of the second . First let down by tinned tomatoes , second by inclusion of American hash browns , and omission of sausage .
Anything American makes it better.
@@GaryYork-tk2ow good joke , and I thought Americans had no sense of irony .
@alanthomson1227 Enjoy those chips with your fish cause they're from America mate.
@@GaryYork-tk2ow don’t eat chips , peasant food , do like a dauphinoise or duchesse . Enjoy your first heart attack , I will .

Yes, you are right that plenty of greasy spoons do these breakfasts, but of the quality of the ingredients is quite low.

For me its always the traditional breaky👍 the modern breakfast looked very tasty but should be considered more of a brunch..
Both of these looked awesome! When I used to live in the Black Country, I had some great cafes by me… full English and a cup of tea - £6. I love Black Pudding!! 😋 Reg belly pork looked good to! …..Smithy
I don't know which of the two breakfasts to prefer. I liked both. Thank you! 🥘
Two great looking breakfasts there difficult to choose.
Its a tough choice

its nice to see own made items but i would prefer the bacon slices to belly pork but £18
you could had the bigger breakfast at the 1st place then the prices would be the same.
I would bet then you would pic the 1st place for more items on the plate
Breakfast two was trying way too hard to break the mould of what actually makes an English breakfast. I think breakfast one nailed it here. Looked good quality and had everything you would want.
Dobt do breakfast bthat often but if have the first one
I think the Olive & Rye meal looked great - but £18 is a bit rich for breakfast i'd say. Maybe as a treat. Nice review,
You can easily spend £21 on a crappy buffet at Cosmo or the like so if it's decent I still think it's worth paying that little bit more
I would have to go with the traditional breakfast, when it’s done right it is unbeatable and that one looked very good. Although I would prefer a normal tomato rather than tinned.
Both were a bit pricey but then again you have to pay for quality. They both looked very good indeed, a great idea is get both plates of food and stick both breakfasts on the same plate, that would be winner!
That would be the ultimate breakfast!

Thats a few days shopping money for some.Make a few of them for the price.
Things are getting a bit expensive now
Breakfast 2 wasn't breakfast - more look you said, brunch. So it would have to be number one for me.

Thanks, I did enjoy it a lot lol 😀
The second one's eggs were too overcooked so it's a no no .
What happened to fried bread?
Brilliant!
Hey! Both looked real yummy! The second looked much more creative and of its own spark. First looked delicious too but less of a journey outside the general English breakfast. Tough to choose - but if I had to order one I would want to try all the cool stuff on the 2nd!
It's a good change to the traditional one
The homemade beans look intriguing and a good twist over others.
Its a nice change from the usual baked beans
1st one wins comfortably for me
It was a great breakfast the first one
I would like to try the second, I have made the traditional on many occasions, but the belly pork and the black pudding with apple and fennel sound great, now if I can find a place that makes the black pudding in the US, I'll give it a go and decide. Great video, please keep them coming.
The black pudding surprised me at the second place. It was really tasty
Where was the hash browns on the traditional breakfast but that won it for me 👍💖
You could get them as an add on
Wow, those combo bites in the first place looked extraordinary and I've only seen a mushroom like that, (from the second place) on an episode of the X-Files. Keep up the great work
Its one of the biggest mushrooms I've ever seen lol
Both looked good to be fair.
So would have to pick the better value for money.
😊
Good choice!
Triangular McCain frozen hash browns...the Canadian curse of most supposedly English breakfasts.
I rather like hash browns - they go well with baked beans
Can you review Greasy Pig in Headingley and Slips Deli in Hyde Park for breakfast please
What about the tea?
The tea was good 😀
What city are you in
This was in the city of Leeds
Love your videos , from NZ
breakfast 1 for me, but breakfast 2 looked interesting
Hi there, did you know that some classic traditional Great British Breakfast come with Sautéed Potatoes - you could compare this version of the Great British Breakfast with the modern version of the Great British Breakfast with the Hash Brown.
Best wishes and take care. Kind regards, Peter Skuce, St Albans. Hertfordshire.
The second breakfast is for me. Personally, you were a bit harsh with your yoke remark. It was fine. The real tomato swung it. ❤
The tomato was really tasty at the second place
Both looked nice but for me the traditional one looked the best
It was a great breakfast
You should go to the red cafe at kirkgate market. They are really traditional.
I've not seen that one before. I'll have to try and find it
The traditional breakfast for me please!
Its a great option
The expensive one had very little meat.
It was only the crispy pork belly
Shocking prices! It might be worth saying which City you're in if you start UK tour. I think this was Leeds.
It was in Leeds 😀 I put the locations in the description
First one for me pricey tho, would order without black pudding. Might ask if could swop it for fried bread. The second one id have sent back over cooked eggs home made beans no thanks belly porks surely for later in the day...
Please would you consider doing transport cafes? They say “always eat where the lorry drivers eat!”
I think the first one as more traditional.
It for sure was
I agree, the 2nd meal is not really a Breakfast, it's more like a dinner or Vegetarian dish minus the pork belly. Even the black pudding was a veggie version, no?
It did feel like more of a lunch meal, not sure on the black pudding though. I assumed it was a regular one with the added ingredients
Take the tinned tomatoes off the first one and replace them with real tomatoes and I'd choose that
Traditionally, most Brits ate porrige. Meat only became common in the mid 1960s
cooked tinned tomatoes always taste better than a fresh cooked tomato on an English breakfast.
Tough decision. I found the bacon and sausage in the first one to be more appealing than the crispy belly pork but loved the look of the hash browns. Probably would vote for the traditional.
Its tough to choose between the two
True. We need a combo plate!!!! Kind of like a combo bite but more extra! 😉
I can’t unsee those hash brown cakes and the eggs!
I would have the traditional breakfast but know black pudding,l don't like black pudding
You can order it without
Im going for the first breakfast...plus i think £18 is very expensive
Traditional breakfast all the way, cant beat it. Needs some fried bread though. xx
That would have been a great addition
You have to have sausages and bacon as part of a breakfast. When i saw the thumbnail i was expecting you to be talking about hash browns! Personally i'm not a fan of black pudding or tomatoes and toast i can take or leave ( I can make toast at home), so when these are offered as part of a listed breakfast i ask about a swap. More often than not i get an extra sausage in place of the black pudding, and some hashbrowns instead of the toast. The tomatoes are the negotiator so if i get a quizzical look at the request i say well you can also drop the tomatoes!
Trouble is a lot of places refuse to make substitutions.
That Belly pork looked amazing.
It tasted great too 😋
Illy coffee is a good sign.
No 1 for me x
Good choice
the one without hash browns
The traditional breakfast for, hands down... I hate it when they mess around with a perfect meal and add chips, potatoe's and bloody Yorkshire puddings, it is bad enough that very few give you a slice of fried bread.
The first onefor me 😊
Its a great breakfast
Both looked nice its a draw for me would enjoy either to be honest
Its a tough call as they're both really good
Traditional English breakfast definitely has fried bread and usually fresh tomato. If it doesn’t have fried bread it isn’t traditional!
The 2nd breakfast was too expensive for me and the first one much more reasonable.
First 1 100% second wouldn't touch it
second one was better, expensive
It was the better tasting one, but it was more expensive
The first one looked good, but I think loses points because the tomato did look like it was just poured out of a tin. Plus no hash browns. Boo!
The second one looked like everything was pretty much home made. Yes, the eggs could have been done a bit better. They looked a tad over cooked, but everything else looked great. I would go with the second choice.
It was a pretty creative breakfast
That's the way people should eat with their mouths closed.Its polite and respectful lol
Yum yums looked the best but some of the other looked good as well.but yum yums win.
Olive and Rye was better.
It tasted a bit better to me
Why do so many of these “English” breakfasts have “chives” on the eggs ???? 🤔
No bacon no!
i did like the first one, better apart from the melting butter in the jar! not keen on the tomatoes, they looked chopped, i like a plum tomato. the second one looked very nice but it was more of a brunch and NO BACON!!! shame😆
It was a challenge to get the butter out lol
The second one looks the best
It had some great items on it
10£ seems a bit steap
The second one..fresh tomato and the interesting blk pudding, and especially hash browns ! Deinitely the modern one, far more exciting.
The items on the second one were definitely spiced up a bit
At the risk of a massive tongue lashing, shouldn’t a traditional EB include fried bread? A bit of bubble & squeak? Just sayin’. Beyond that I never tire of watching this lovely man with his broad northern accent, love of blood pudding and ability to scarf down a huge EB 😂
the top option at the 1st place had fried bread on it, and if he had picked that then the prices would be closer.
But the 1st place would have a lot more items on the plate like 3 bacon. 2 hash etc.
Definitely! If it hasn’t fried bread it isn’t traditional.
bubble and squeak is purely cockney and last tme I checked the east end of london wasn't England... no bubble and squeak on a breakfast, but I would support your call for fried bread.
Traditional breakfast should have hash browns
Gotta be the full English. The modern one is too pretentious NO TO HASH BROWNS
Traditional should come with fried bread.
You know the stewed tomatoes is a good idea as they are tangy.
The tanginess adds to the combo bites 😋
No bacon at breakfast No2
That is true, they only had the pork belly
Traditional all day long!
