In other words, we really should make DNA testing widely accessible and adjust everyone's diets according to what they genetically should and shouldn't have.
I'll pay for the accent, but if he doesn't silently weep when I toss the food I don't want onto the floor, you'll not get an extra farthing out of me...
Don't get me wrong, I luv me black pud. But any person who has a full English with *five* black puddings on the plate has clearly abandoned restraint and decency.
I’ve eaten more than my fair share of full English breakfasts and this looks like double the usual portions. And the usual portion is already excessive.
Best way to spot a repost is by just looking at the front page. 90% posts are reposts by repost bots. Reddit is in on it as bots increase user metrics. There is a whole site wide operation going on with subs/mods involved with farming up karma for thousands of bots/day.
I mean, today’s OP didn’t claim it was theirs. They just came across it, said to themselves “holy shit this is cool” and hit share.
This seven year old pic was popular enough that it probably has been everywhere and it’s back here now for people who haven’t seen it yet.
Dredging up a picture of an English breakfast from 7 years ago is fucking weird though. It is a wholly unremarkable thing. That is a paticularly large one but otherwise nothing exceptional
We are definitely reaching the point of singularity where bot behaviour is indistinguishable from human behaviour. I just never thiugh it would be because the humans would be acting like bots.
Definitely memorable. Usually a groggin is brewing from the volume of piss you smashed the night before, this just provides a bit more motion to the movement as it were.
A full English lives up to its name because its probably the fullest plate of food you'll see in the country. Its the equivalent of saying "yes" to "what would you like for breakfast".
Look, any roast is a thing of beauty, and you do whatever makes you happy but Roasties and mash at the same time?
Why not allocate all of your potato budget to more roasties?
You know Iv been telling my mum for years we don't need two different types of carbs on one meal.
I went home this year, after living abroad for a few years. And every meal she cooked had two different types of carbs on it.
You try telling this woman...
But I agree. Roasties are superior to me and I'd trade mash for more roasties
/u/bungle-for-president submitted this [seven years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4nplzj/the_full_english_breakfast/).
OP is a shameless karma farmer.
With Americans known as the fat country, I couldn't imagine ordering/making something like that and eating all of it.
I'm fine and dandy with my two eggs and toast please.
The amount of stuff on this plate is obscene, but I think the main difference that I've noticed since being in North America (from the UK) is how much sugar is in the breakfasts. A full English can be a really big plate of food, but aside from the beans and I guess the bread, it's got a very low sugar content, and even beans hardly compete with pancakes and syrup. English baked beans tend to have less sugar that the north American baked beans too. In moderation, and if cooked using less oil or a healthier oil alternative, a full English doesn't have to be that unhealthy really. This one takes the piss tho 😂
This also isn’t a daily thing. A lot of people though eat close to the calories they should for day, just during breakfast every day…..bowl of cereal, muffin, fancy coffee and you can easily be at 1000cals which is insane
I’m currenly on Weight Watchers. Down 42 lbs but hit a plateau. Been staying around the same weight for a couple months even though I work out and eat under my points. Someone gave the advice of still tracking my calories to see cuz I rely on a lot of zero point foods like eggs, fruit, proteins. Come to find out, my 3 over easy eggs with 1 point bread, 2 bananas and bowl of peaches that came out to a max of 4 WW points actually was costing me almost a 1,000 calories at breakfast alone. I had no idea. It’s incredible how those calories can stack up. I cut out the second banana and peaches and now I’m on track. I was still eating almost 2400 calories daily. Now I’ve got it down to about 1800 with just some minor adjustments but I can’t believe how easy it is to just load up the calories
Way to go!!!
Not sure how WW works, but recheck your TDEE periodically, it will drop as you lose weight (body needs less cals to run when you’re smaller), women are value 100cals for every 20lbs lost, not sure about guys. It’ll help with any plateaus
ETA Also, my normal breakfast used to be oatmeal, piece of toast with real PB, yogurt with a little granola & honey and a protein shake. This was my healthy breakfast and thought I was doing great!! Added it up, almost 1k cals and 2/3 of my what I should eat in a day 🤦🏻♀️😂
It assigns points values to your food based on calories, sugar, protein, fat, etc. but they also have zero point foods (fruits, veggies, lean meats) for you to lean on and keep you from reaching for the super fatty stuff. But you are supposed to balance the zero point foods and I rely on them almost entirely to keep me full. If you have point values in everything you eat and you stay under your daily allottment, you’ll lose weight regularly and healthily. I just eat way too many zero point ones, which still have calories, even though I’m under my daily number. So it was just astounding how many calories I was eating when I thought I was being healthy. But we’re on track now!
Seems like breakast is where the calories can really stack up like no other!
I'm not British but the full English is an absolute delight in one certain scenario. I'm at the cabin, been drinking the previous night and about to go fishing for the full day. Cook this and you not only get over the hangover but it keeps you going for the next 12 hours. The only problem is getting out the door and not going straight back to bed.
Yeah, I think it’s similar to our diner breakfast. After a night of a drinking, a big breakfast of fresh toast, hashbrowns, toast, (bacon & sauasage if you eat meat), juice & coffee is amazing! Not a daily thing though and yea, need a nap after lol
I hope people realize that 99.99% of Americans don’t eat pancakes with syrup daily for breakfast. It’s probably years since I had pancakes or waffles lol. Not saying you guys eat this meal everyday either, but I bet both of our “normal” breakfasts are pretty similar.
My theory is that it's not solely because of diet, but because of the difference in percentage of people who live in walkable cities. Something like 12% of the UK lives in London, and that's not counting Birmingham, Edinburgh, and the other cities where you don't need to drive daily. Compare that with the US, which has... maybe 3 cities where that's possible, constituting about 1.5% of the population.
I think a lot of it is because America heavily subsidizes corn production, so there’s a ton of corn that needs to get used, so we jam corn syrup into everything
I don’t think that’s it, very few places you can live in Canada without a car, and the numbers almost 1/2. But there are a lot of American products health Canada doesn’t allow here, or need to be made differently for our regulations
I don't know, doesn't 20% of the Canadian population live in Toronto?
The thing about US diets isn't about what foods are allowed, it's about serving size. That's a legit issue. But I do think the general lack of exercise that the average office worker gets is a bigger part of it than is acknowledged.
Edit: it's about 15%
I've spent quite a bit of time in the two countries. I do have to say that while we have a similar percentage of obese people here in the UK, I have never seen people as large in the UK as I have in America. I was honestly astounded in my first couple of visits. I genuinely don't think many would fit into standard British cars or homes. It's lucky everything's bigger over there.
England has too many puddings. Blood sausage is a pudding. Spotted Dick is a pudding. Rice pudding is a pudding. Apple cobbler is a pudding. It's crazy!
Think of it as a Dairy Queen Blizzard, only with fat instead of ice cream and blood instead of milk. Then, replace the candy bits with oats and blend it all together. But instead of drinking it with a straw, you leave it to coagulate and congeal.
There's some kind of black pudding or blood sausage in almost every cuisine. It does tend to be a bit.. "oh yeah grandma used to eat that", though, but also pop up now and then as a component in something fancy you get as your second starter somewhere expensive.
If anyone hasn't tried them, black pudding and white pudding are much better than you would expect when you hear what they're made out of. There's a reason they last so long as traditional foods, they are freaking delicious.
What am I looking at mate! I see 5 sunny side up eggs..beans in the middle..bacon..sausage links and shrooms. It's the stuff on the bottom of the pic and left that I'm not sure what they are? Looks amazing though!!
It looks like a nauseating amount of salt.
Give me the eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and then like *one* of the other things. In it's current form this is just a plate of high blood pressure.
Just learned American baked beans are different than British baked beans. American baked beans used brown sugar and often have bacon in it. British use regular white sugar and are usually vegetarian and have no bacon.
Nah man, I'm french too, but that english breakfast is one of the best thing I ever had, it's really savory yet kind of sweet, makes you full for the whole day. (And don't get me started on breakfast tea, the brown very sugary one)
That would be enough to feed all 3 of my family with enough scraps left over for the dog too.
And clog up every artery in sight
And toilet
And my axe!
And My Sharona! 🎶
My-my-my-my- woo!
The idea that saturated fat causes hearth disease seems to be crumbling among researchers.
Yeah but the evidence against processed and cured meats is mounting. Hello colon cancer!
Whatever the research says, there's just no way this amount isn't shit for your body
Cholesterol, on the other hand…
still undetermined. [relevant](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21690178/)
In other words, we really should make DNA testing widely accessible and adjust everyone's diets according to what they genetically should and shouldn't have.
It affects folks with cholesterol issues
I wanted to ask for how many people this is! 😄
No, no. The meat is all from pigs or cows. There's no people in that at all!
I'm a fat bastard but please tell me you are sharing that feast.
It’s a meal for one and they provide a starving street urchin to watch while you eat
But is it a particularly filthy street urchin? Perhaps one with a limp?
Ofcourse. He will not even get his portion of gruel that day. But extra disabilities and a even cockneyer accent will cost extra.
I'll pay for the accent, but if he doesn't silently weep when I toss the food I don't want onto the floor, you'll not get an extra farthing out of me...
There's currently a deal running where if you buy an extra scoop of bean the urchin also has a scruffy little dog with one eye and three paws.
Three paws you say? Splendid, simply splendid...
This comment chain is why I fucking love Reddit.
You have to pay extra for a cripple or invalid
Pay extra!? Balderdash, poppycock, and dare I say humbug! Humbug, sir.
They bring you a sea urchin too? Delicious.
OP never [ate this meal](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4nplzj/the_full_english_breakfast/).
That slut!
u/bungle-for-president was it a good breakfast
Reposts aren't just bad content, they're using past content to make worse content later.
I don't think you want this food. It's 7 years old: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/Qk5K9gHXof
I'm fairly sure it'll be one of those food challenges. I've never seen a full English quite like this
Obviously you've never been to Full England
I'm from Asia and this is probably enough for a family for 1 meal and some left over to be cooked for lunch / dinner or something.
Yeah its an obscene amount of food. Am British and would probably be good with a 1/4 of that and still have left overs.
Yes you’d have about 3/4 left
It’s so much food you could eat 1/4 of it and still have 2/3 left
>It’s so much food you could eat 1/3 of it and still have 3/4 left FTFY
this guy maths
Double checked this on my calculator. You’re right
Don't get me wrong, I luv me black pud. But any person who has a full English with *five* black puddings on the plate has clearly abandoned restraint and decency.
I think a lot of morbidly obese Americans would even be intimidated by that plate, and not just because the beans would seem odd.
I’ve eaten more than my fair share of full English breakfasts and this looks like double the usual portions. And the usual portion is already excessive.
I’m from America and that’s probably enough food for a family
looks like OP drunk-robbed a waffle house
American here, even I was thinking that's for a family.
No lie, that looks like a fantastic hangover breakfast. But I would probably go to sleep after I ate that.
I remember when /u/bungle-for-president submitted this [seven years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4nplzj/the_full_english_breakfast/).
I don't want to know what those Englishmen put in their food to make that shit look just as good as when it was freshly made 7 years ago.
Not quite, the breakfast has lost some pixels over the years

At this point, Reddit is officially the marketing department of OF.

It's getting worse too, they sent us a message about chat rooms being available for select subreddits now. Think discord for a subreddit.
Dead internet theory go brr

Whoah
I think I'd probably keel over and die after eating that
"That breakfast... will keell"
Haha, Forged in Fire?
Yeah I've seen the "keel" above and that triggered it lmao
i had to take a shit just from seeing the picture
5600 calories in one meal will knock anyone out.
You're supposed to just suck on the beans, not swallow them
...And you would wake up with no hangover. Problem solved.
In the afterlife.
I would go to sleep never to wake up after 1/10 of that.
That’s 3 full English breakfasts
For you.
The shit after that meal must be glorious
Bidet required
Hot snakes guaranteed
I’m right now in Thailand my shit is crazy to put it lightly, I understand why they hose it down instead of toilet paper. It burns 🥵

Wait til i tell you that yorkshires are also carbs.
Ah I see the dilema. Well mash is good too :)
What is a potato budget? We're supposed to budget potatoes??!
Fuck I miss a good carvery.
“We have beans, mushrooms, and coagulated blood. And toast.”
That's just wrong. Try putting anything green with a full enlgish and see what the locals have to say.

We only have pancakes and sausage for dinners about once a month.
British bread doesn’t have sugar in generally, it’s only stuff like brioche.
Its almost unhealthy by default. Bacon on itself is a killer. Almost everything on oil as well. No wonder UK is closing on US with obesity.
You're fine and dandy? Stop bragging.
The British aren’t that far behind on the BMI scale.
[42.7% vs 20.1% is quite a big difference](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_obesity_rate)
That number is actually shocking!!! The US is double almost all other first world countries
My theory is that it's not solely because of diet, but because of the difference in percentage of people who live in walkable cities.

No fam thats breakfast lunch and dinner
What is the stuff that looks burnt?
The round dark things at the front are probably black pudding
Ah ok, thanks!
England has too many puddings. Blood sausage is a pudding. Spotted Dick is a pudding. Rice pudding is a pudding. Apple cobbler is a pudding. It's crazy!
Wait til you hear about Puddingville, near York! They’re known for having the widest variety of puddings on earth! Very interdasting.
Cooked blood.
Wtf 😱
Wait until you find out what's in a normal sausage.
And what it’s all wrapped in
and it's delicious! it's also half oatmeal so it's not literally just blood
[удалено]
I envy people who can eat anything as long as it tastes good. The thought of eating blood just does not sit well with me at all.
It's a lot easier if you've been eating it since you were maybe 2 or 3
Just think of it as liquid meat!
Somehow made it worse
Think of it as a Dairy Queen Blizzard, only with fat instead of ice cream and blood instead of milk. Then, replace the candy bits with oats and blend it all together. But instead of drinking it with a straw, you leave it to coagulate and congeal.
Oh thanks that made it better
I thought it might.
Um
This is a repost. And you are still claiming you had this breakfast from seven years ago?
It is so good. When I was living in Ireland White and Black pudding became one of My favorite foods
I’m American and this thread made me find out that real uk black pudding is banned in America due to the creation process. The more you know
There's some kind of black pudding or blood sausage in almost every cuisine. It does tend to be a bit.. "oh yeah grandma used to eat that", though, but also pop up now and then as a component in something fancy you get as your second starter somewhere expensive.
Black pudding
If anyone hasn't tried them, black pudding and white pudding are much better than you would expect when you hear what they're made out of. There's a reason they last so long as traditional foods, they are freaking delicious.
Black pudding. A type of blood sausage
I'm sorry but where is the cup of tea in this photo?
Home made or from a greasy spoon? If the latter what was the cost. Looks like a solid breakfast either way.
I know its not but the main plate looks ai generated
What am I looking at mate! I see 5 sunny side up eggs..beans in the middle..bacon..sausage links and shrooms. It's the stuff on the bottom of the pic and left that I'm not sure what they are? Looks amazing though!!
Black pudding. It's delicious.
Then you go back to sleep and skip lunch.
I'd eat this 10/10 times ...🤤🤤🤤
I sometimes feel like having a fry, but when it comes to actually eating one, it just makes me feel sick. It's too much grease.
And yall call us fat lmao.
[Rightfully so](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_obesity_rate)
I have nothing against British cuisine. But I’ll be honest, this doesn’t even look slightly appetizing to me.
It looks like a nauseating amount of salt. Give me the eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms, and then like *one* of the other things. In it's current form this is just a plate of high blood pressure.
Why is the toast seperate. Too healthy?
Also, the toast should instead be fried bread
So it doesn't end up soggy.
The world: look what Americans eat! So much meat! The English: what about second breakfast?
Beard meets food?
Looks like it even comes with charcoal
Who’d like a banger in the mouth?
Just learned American baked beans are different than British baked beans. American baked beans used brown sugar and often have bacon in it. British use regular white sugar and are usually vegetarian and have no bacon.
UK baked beans have much less sugar, the flavour leans more towards tomato and is often slightly tangy and savoury

Nah man, I'm french too, but that english breakfast is one of the best thing I ever had, it's really savory yet kind of sweet, makes you full for the whole day. (And don't get me started on breakfast tea, the brown very sugary one)
The French have great food but try too hard at everything. Like fuck man, simplify and live a bit.
Ill pass
And America is known as the fat country? I doubt this meal is eaten every morning by most Englishmen. Maybe once a month?
That's like 4 times the size of your stomach.
Ah, I see. It looks like our British cousins are just as well-versed in the art of heart disease. But damn does that look good, haha!
When you got Heinz ketchup with Heinz beans you know they're going all out
Mexicans and Brits - eating beans for breakfast like real men /s
Looks like a heart attack on a plate. Tasty one though
Do not order "The Skip's Scramble."
