my mum always used to make me marmite and cheese sandwiches to take to school because I loved it so much. Nowadays, I just prefer the marmite on toast on its own.

This one goes without saying. My kids think it is off because instead of butter, I fry one side in the bacon fat. I sometimes put a little ketchup on it.

Even my English wife was turned off when I had some toast and beef dripping.

p.s. My cholesterol is fine.

My favourite way of eating a good british fry up always puts off the rest of my family but it something I learnt to do as child.

On a piece of fried bread, pile the following

Tomatoes tin variety the best for this exercise
fry egg soft so it spreads over the tomatoes
black pudding
mushrooms
and finally topped off with couple of slices of Ayrshire Back Bacon.

Of course if you like bake Beans with your breakfast like my dad, then you find space for that as well.

When my Nan was alive, one of her christmas gifts to me each year was a jar of pickle onions.  How I miss them.  Find them at christmas time in some stores over here but they are never as crisp they should be.

Carl's Jr - the best burgers in the world.

/like Canadians can make burgers anyway

Egg butty in two slices of marmite toast. razz

Steak fries rolled in a lettuce leaf. yum!

Bread and beef dripping
Black pudding
Liver 'n' onions
Pilchards on toast (those out of the tin with the red sauce)
Jam and raw onion sarni
Potted meat with tomato ketchup sarni

Keep getting inspired by others.

Canned corned beef, in a sandwich, on a salad and as corned beef hash with a poached egg.

Fresh mushrooms fried in garlic butter on toast...

I do not eat it as much these days, but we used to have a lot of spam when I was a nipper. It was cheap. Last time I looked at the price for a can of spam in the US it was really expensive for what it is. Me mum used to fry the spam for sandwiches.

But we have Tim Hortons though :wink:

So do we mate.

But you don't have Sonic Burger.

Who is Tim Horton? Never heard of him. Bet his burgers suck too.

>>>>> I rest my case on your comments about his buggers :mrgreen: Try making a trip down here, and you will find out why Tim Horton's is so popular :wink:
