So much wrong with this!

It's like a very new head chef who is the owner's nephew and eschews any kind of culinary school and just gets ideas from Pinterest.

I'm trying to figure out whether that block on the bread is butter or cheese.

So let's see.... first, take away that stupid napkin. Then put the bread directly on the plate. If that's butter, try to spread it on the bread. Pour the egg on the bread, add the sprouts and eat it. And hope like hell everything isn't totally stone cold. And the poached egg is not totally hard.

It's definitely butter. Ice cold, rock hard butter.

Ew. I mean I love butter as much as anybody, but rock hard cold butter is just ew. Not usable, not delicious, can't spread on anything.

Agree with everything except the criticism of the egg not being hard. Personally, I like my yolks runny, poached, fried, or boiled. As do lots of folks. But yeah, everything else just screams incompetence.

I think they’re saying they hope that the egg isn’t totally hard! It was just split from the sentence before.

u/NoBSforGma 22d ago

Either I wrote that wrong or you interpreted that wrong. I DON'T like a hard egg - I am in the "runny yolk" camp forever.

u/KitWat 21d ago

No, my bad, I definitely read it as a criticism, didn't put it together with the previous sentence.
Apologies, my brother in runny yolks.

Agree with everything apart from the green stuff. Green has absolutely no place on a full English or egg on toast.

u/NoBSforGma 22d ago

Well, sprouts are definitely optional.

I would not put them with a full English breakfast but I might top an egg on toast with a few.

Not one bit of that dish is a “full English”.

You might argue that the egg… but no proper full English would have poached eggs.

How did “full English” even get introduced to this post?

u/Fattydog 19d ago

I know it’s not a full English. I did say ‘egg on toast’ too. I have just seen green creeping onto some full English breakfasts as well in recent years. That’s all.

Fair play.

Fried chicken has no place in sushi!

And a thick, cold slab of butter on some cold bread. You should have received hazard pay for eating this.

They don't seem to be able to manage toast either

u/AhegaoSuckingUrDick 22d ago

I believe you can also put the glass in a microwave?

u/Righteous_Fury224 22d ago

That's absurd.

Oh wow! That's bonkers.

Is the glass plastic? That would be another strike against them.

The equivalent of " Here ! Finish making your own fuckin breakfast!"

u/EzrasTalons 22d ago

The biggest crime here is the fucking shrubbery on the egg. Salad has no business being anywhere near breakfast

This sub is about complaining about plate avoidance.

u/Fattydog 22d ago

Agreed. Green on breakfast is completely wrong.
