Recently discovered 'white pudding' (Morrisons) . A most enjoyable addition to the breakfast plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherylL Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 That’s a good point about the water. Would rather not use bottled water if we can help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 every year on the lads week we are supplied with a large section of square sausage for each boat (maybe a couple of kilos per boat) for breakfasts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hash browns have no place in a full English breakfast. (or full Scottish) Obligatory components are ... (2) Fried eggs, (2) sausages and (3) bacon. Bread (Fried, toasted and/or plain), and Toms and Mushrooms. Optional extras... Baked Beans, Black pudding/haggis, Kidneys, + anything else you fancy. (except hash browns or chips). All accompanied with a mug of coffee or builders tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They soak the bean juice up nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No oil required and nothing sticks to them. And you can fit lots of square sausage in there! We also have a copperstone frying pan so we can have guilt free "fried" eggs without any oil.

marshman Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Going back to water, I have always drunk the water straight out of my tank without any issues! Don't forget that water in the tank gets replenished frequently, especially on hire boats, and with that in mind, would be quite happy! I am not sure if the filter taps make a lot of difference - if you are really concerned just boil the water first but I am still alive and kicking!!
