Why English Breakfast Is The Perfect Hangover Food

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
On a hunt for an English breakfast plate to invoke memories from his childhood, The Meat Shows Nick Solares visits British chef April Bloomfield at her restaurant inside New Yorks Ace Hotel, The Breslin. Bloomfields version boasts homemade sausage and black pudding alongside other fry-up staplesbacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, and beansand is the ideal way to nurse a hangover. Watch the two Brits compare notes on English breakfasts past and present over a pot of tea. Zim: I'm not even British, but what a shame an actual Brit is dismissing UK cuisine for his largely American audience. Britain has some fantastic traditional regional dishes and some of fantastic produce. Dishes like Lancashire hot pot, cullen skink, Welsh rarebit. Produce like Aberdeen Angus beef, Jersey royal potatoes and Welsh lamb. It's a shame that someone with a platform, who I'm sure considers himself a foodie is reverting to tired stereotypes about his own nations food.

Is that parsley on the eggs? Fookin profanation! Wasting the taste of good eggs, I say. on the other hand I love to put chives there and it's delicious cos it DOES click together so one could say it's a matter of taste: Also, how come such pro and sophisticated restaurant uses bacon that is the low, typical streak bacon, not the arguably tastier and less fatty (so also healthier, while still having enough fat to direct the taste) back bacon? (alas, back bacon is also hard to find in some countries, including Poland. OK, the fat in streaky one does eventually dissolves giving taste (tho it's good to put it between paper rolls for a while to let the fat go out, but there's just less meat and (again, IMO, maybe it's the cut) it's less tasty. But oh yes. more profit from cheaper bacon. forgot; ) Sorry, pro restaurant. While talking about baked beans in video - not much is really told about them. company secrets? Gordon made a beautiful variation of baked beans (on a potato cake) in 'back to school' series, here nothing is really said about them. almost nothing. And literally NOTHING is said about tomatoes. They do look nice, but any word on that? None, really?

Stopped after 13 seconds. Presenter is a pretentious snob of the highest order. That is not because i am English and feel slighted but because it is just not true. If he was subjected to findus crispy pancakes as a child then he can blame his parents but i had great food as a kid. I have also lived in the USA and for him to state what he did whilst stood on American soil is laughable. Tell me Nick what is it that puts the country you are in above ours n the culinary stakes, could it be meat loaf or mac and cheese, maybe the great sausages that are so readily available and the selection of proper cheese they have in super markets. I am not knocking the USA here as i like it but for him to live in the USA and say that just smacks of wanker. If he was in nearly any Asian, Indian, South american, warm island country he would have a leg to stand on, as he wasn't he hasn't.

Our bad reputation for food, firstly, is not recognised anymore by anyone who knows anything about food, and secondly is certainly NOT deserved as you put it. We have 186 michelin stars in the UK - a huge amount serving BRITISH food. Stop being an idiot. And if we're that bad, why are the US snapping up Gordon Ramsay for every food show they can get their hands on. You've undermined your integrity about food with this ridiculous comment at the beginning of the video.

Apart from the fussy 'chefiness' of the plating/presentation, that was a very ordinary full English that you could buy anywhere in the UK for only a few pounds. You can get one about twice that size with as much toast as you can eat and unlimited tea for a fiver down the road from me.

I love everything on those plates except the black pudding and the beans (no matter who cooks them, but some of us are just not breakfast people. More than minimal food (toast) for at least 4-5 hours after I get up is just nausea inducing. Would I eat this for lunch? In a heartbeat.

The quality of international food and the quality of ingredients in the UK is phenomenal. I live here in Tokyo and, sure, Japan deserves all its Michelin starred restaurants, but if you go for Italian or Indian or even Thai, you're likely to be disappointed, compared to London.

#notmybreakfast. (that is not bacon. also, nout wrong Heinz beans. I don't want nasty hipster vinegar beans and don't you guys have white pudding and some sort of potato like a few chips or a small potato cake/farl? maybe it's just an Irish thing)

what a nob, English food is far from ghastly we have the finest chefs in the world, better than the chemical laden sugar loaded garbage they have, try detoxing from all the crap in the food in the US and you might get your taste buds back!

My Scottish friend made me black pudding without telling me the ingredients. I tasted it and was delighted. He told me the ingredients and I didn't mind, black pudding is delicious and I would eat it time and time again
