    and to be fair, that looks like a place that caters to american tourists

    the bacon in a proper english breakfast looks more like ham, and the eggs are usually fried

    I looked for it and couldn’t find it, Druff, feel free to move to appropriate thread. I’m at a Hyatt, mostly English people here from what I can tell.

    I was thinking the same thing about the bacon, though perhaps bacon has creeped into English culture recently.

    Perhaps a Brit can help out here.

    I haven't been in England since 1991, but back then it was indeed ham and not bacon.

    Everything on the plate looks good except the sausage, of which I'm not really a fan (sausage in general, not that particular sausage).

    It's possibly the Hyatt gives the bacon because it's an American chain, and they don't want to disappoint Americans staying there.

    Was planning to go to Europe this summer but I have postponed it at least until 2019.

    If you enjoyed it fair enough, but that is not a proper English breakfast, it’s more of a transatlantic fry up.

    The best full English would be bacon, sausage, beans, mushroom, 2 fried eggs, Black pudding, a slice of fried bread, and tinned plum tomatoes. GTFO with hash browns. hash browns only belong in a breakfast if it’s a McDonalds McMuffin meal.

    Yeah those hash browns do look weird. Surprised I didn't think of that when I saw the pic.

    Your description of a full English breakfast sounds appealing, except I would hold the mushrooms (hate them) and sausage.

    Can we be honest here and admit that London is the most over rated city in Europe? The food is trash, hotels rooms built for hobbits, and the females go from an 8 to a 2 when they smile. Also, the weather is terrible.

    One super-tilting thing I found in London when I visited in 1991 was the "cover charge" scam.

    Basically you'd come into a restaurant, sit down, and then buried at the bottom of the menu, there would be some bullshit "cover charge" per person or per table. In most cases you got nothing for the cover charge besides a seat. In a few cases they'd give you a small tray of lame appetizers.

    Sometimes you could negotiate off the cover charge, sometimes you couldn't. If you couldn't, you'd have to make a gametime decision whether you still wanted to stay and eat there.
