8 large rashers is too much. You can double-butty them but thats 4 big sarnies and then the bacon:scrambled egg:brown sauce ratio is screwed.

6, 3 per large roll + fried egg is optimal.

Why would you want an egg on your bacon sarnie to spoil the bacony goodness? A Hash brown is acceptable at a push, an egg is right off. And ketchup is worthy of exile.

Ketchup is vital IMHO. Well it is if you are forced to eat synthetic doesnt even really look like bacon stuff.

Christ i miss burger vans.

Never too much bacon, if it doesnt fit in the roll eat it on its own after :P

My choice of breakfast bap is.. Sausage, Egg and some Ketchup. Maybe a hash brown in there if Im lucky.

God I miss the old sarnie shop where I used to work...

Double big baps that would fit a full English...Saus, Bacon, Egg, Black Pud, Toms and Beans, With Brown sauce natch.

Oh, and at lunch they did full roast baps too, Chicken,lamb,beef or Pork with all the trimmings inna bap...even extra crackling...

dammit..now Ive drooled on me keyboard.

I dont eat pork any more - its pretty sh*tty for you.

Thing is it *has* to be cooked properly, or you end up with some interesting intestinal friends...

Cooking properly can include cooking it rare. As long as its a whole cut and you arent eating it raw in the middle itll be fine, trichinae worms can be killed off at a temperature that still means you get a good rare piece of meat if you are careful (not that there has been a reported case since the late 70s but its better to be safe than sorry).

Three cheers for pink pork!

And I suppose you have good evidence available for that? Last time it came up it was maximusotter who spouted it and I proved that there had been infections every year since in the US. It isnt just trichinae either, there are others carried by pigs.

Ill continue to take my chances. No doubt youll do some quick googling to prove otherwise but Ill be in bliss ignoring it all in the meantime eating my pink pork.

long may you continue to get away with it :)


I tend to think the optimal breakfast roll is one which allows you to essentially eat a full English without using a knife and fork. Bacon, Egg, and Sausies barest minimum. I have yet to come up with a workable way to include baked beans.

Its called a flattie, or flat loaf in the north east. Has several other names too but its basically a plate sized bun. Cut it in half and put your food on one half, bag the other for the next morning.

TBH they used to do this before they had plates, the bread acted as a plate and the table top was scrubbed clean instead.

Use a variation on the mediaeval trenchour; a hollowed out bread roll style thing. You may get a small amount of bean leakage but if youre careful you should be able to manage with no hands.

so have you pulled any worms out of your arse yet?

I believe a hollowed out bluma would also accommodate this, however you may find your mouth cant open enough to insert.

FWIW: Bacon + egg + sausage + mushrooms = WIN

No sauces! (bunch of flaming heretics...)

With pork its worms in your brain you have to worry about.

Sausages on a sarnie are evil incarnate. The texture is just.... bleurgh. The only thing that should be on bread is bacon. Lots of bacon. With a pinch of brown sauce if you must, but thats it.

got to resurrect this thread - your ALL WRONG!!


Sausage + Fried Egg + Black Pudding + Ketchup = butty of the gods!  :D

They used to do half bloomers filled with a full english at one place I worked. Never had the guts to get one, I stuck to sausage & bacon baguettes.

True even for vegetarians (excluding black pudding, we have to exchange it for bacon) :D

Vegetarians dont eat bacon... if they do they arent vegetarians.

There is vegetarian bacon, its never been near a pig. Tastes OK but the texture is rubbish :(
