I'm cooking a full English for 6 people this coming Sunday

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Any tips / recommendations?

I'm about to set up my excel sheet with flow chart to ensure I plan the timings and oven/hob/grill space etc to a t. I don't need any stress with this...

[Snin]

a good quality cafe / breakfast restaurant

[Hillary]

but with better grammar, punctuation and capitalisation, of course. :-)

6 people my hole, you are fooling nobody fat lad.

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

you start about half before you would if frying. Put sausages in 10 minutes before the bacon. It's the meat that is the faff and this is a far more relaxing approach.

And for god's sake, use proper , honest bangers, not the sort of over-meaty, crunchy poncy 'real' sausages that big poncy, middle-class poofs like Charlie and Berni would insist on

[Berni]

Great in anticipation, but is actually bland, heavy and always leaves one with a vague feeling of greasy self-loathing.

Have something nice instead. :thumbup:

[Luis Anaconda]

all you need is there (apart from maybe butter and sauce

[Classic Jorge]

Also, for beans call in the microwave.

[Snin]

[Classic Jorge]

Also, the choices you make say a lot about you.

Chips? Black Pudding? Mushrooms? Tomatoes? :puke:

some feckers hang around for hours if you also cook them breakfast and the tight ones piss off when you tell them its an expensive breakfast out..so often does the trick

taste ends up better than the realism..first few bites always great..but both can leave you feeling bit over greasy and generally feeling a bit let down

[Harry Balls]

And have them bring dessert.

[Norn Iron]

I have in-law relatives from the Wales who have been known to taking the Clonakilty back with them.

[Harry Balls]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

at the same time.

[Free SL]

I have already told them I expect them to be bringing back a black pudding and white pudding for the breakfast the following weekend when I'm down at theirs.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Not sure about bacon... I think it needs to be fried tbh.

[Snin]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I got the recipe from a lady in Bruges, awesome.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Snin]

scrambled egg gets lost in a full english and it ruins both..sort it out man

[Monty91]

It even made me lose my appetite for a Hampstead crepe :-(

[Classic Jorge]

[Peter]

Chinese is a bit ****.

decent pack of bacon seems hard anyway.

It's pumped full of water and tastes like ****. I don't have the time to go for a leisurely stroll the butchers to get some.

Plus all the butchers nearby are Halal butchers so not much chance to find it.

[Red Water]

Preheat oven to 180

Cook 6 hash browns and 12 halves of tomato in one baking tray on the top shelf
Cook 12 sausages in a second tray on the shelf below

Start the sausages ten minutes before the hash browns and tomatoes go in.

Get two frying pans and cook 6 rashers of bacon in each on the hob. When the bacon is nearly ready, chuck it on top of the sausages in the oven to finish. Add a big knob of butter to each pan (together with the bacon fat) and fry three eggs in each pan.

In a third frying pan fry the mushrooms.

Microwave three cans of baked beans in a large pyrex bowl for 6-8 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.

Drop the bread for toast when you start the eggs - transfer to table as it comes and let guests butter it themselves.

The order goes:

Oven.
After ten minutes: pre-heating: sausages in
After another eight minutes: hash browns and tomatoes in and mushrooms start frying
Five minutes later: bacon start frying and beans turned on
After a further five minutes: eggs start frying and first slices of toast down
