Went for breakfast today with the boyfriend and mother. We had the Full English Breakfast, myself and my boyfriend with english muffins and my mother with crumpets, and to start, both the muffins and crumpets were store bought, same as we can get at the grocery store.
Next, the portions were tiny. We've had much more food at other places, 1 small sausage, the tiniest piece of ham you could possibly imagine, as if they took a thin slice, cut it in to 4 pieces and serve one quarter of it per plate, and a small piece of slab bacon that was mostly fat (which my boyfriend didn't even get on his plate). He enjoyed the blood pudding, the fried tomatoes were not fried, and there were maybe 6 tiny mushrooms on the plate. The eggs were small and flat and bland, and the beans were sitting in a bowl of molasses. And the potatoes were COVERED in large pieces of garlic, which the English have never used as far as I know. My mother Hates garlic. All in all, Not impressed whatsoever by this $13 dish. I've spent less at La Belle Province and been far more satisfied.
And this is not a very English breakfast, my mother is English and we've had breakfast in England. This was insulting.
