Nothing beats a proper English breakfast
Also, beef wellington is pretty great if done right.
Had beef wellington for the first time recently, and it was way tastier and less gimmicky than I expected. The mushroom mixture does a lot more work than you would expect from pictures.
English Breakfast is a brilliantly balanced meal and it helped me get comfortable with eating a wider range of things (mushrooms, ratatouille, tomatoes) when I was younger. Love it.
I've never actually had one - always been told it is more effort than it's worth. Looks good though - one day I'll have my prize
Beef Wellington isn’t even English, it started as a French dish and was refined and popularized in the US. And yes it’s way too much work to cook.
Maybe the French disowned it then. "Too much pastry and too much meat, this meal is practically English!" They seem to like more fancy-shaped pastries in France.
What madness is this?
It's good on buttered toast, but yeah not exactly an English dish.
Haha yeah, we just have it from the can because it goes on potatoes and things and means you've got half your vegetables sorted for the meal.
I buy it canned most of the time too.
The canned stuff is almost identical to the homemade version anyway as there's only like 8 ingredients in a ratatouille and 6 of them are always going to be the same vegetables in approximately the same ratios.
OMG
Having a proper Full English at a farm-stay, on the way down to Cornwall, was a standout lifetime meal.
The same exact one cooked by the wife for the farmer, to last him all day out in the field. Glor-i-ous.
Frying the toast slices in the bacon oil was next level.
