I was doing what passes for "cooking" in my flat and I began to wonder...
What is it with the Colonists that they simply don't understand a proper "fry up"?
Sigh...
Got to get back to my chips... My bangers are already done...

Me too. When I lived in New York I had to make my own bangers and black pudding because they just weren't available. The local butcher finally got used to the crazy Englishman who came in for pigs blood and pork shoulder with extra fat.
Now you know why I lost 28 lbs. the eight weeks I spent in England.
Ask Blaine, I do not have the type of frame that will readily support a 28 lb loss.
Monday to Friday Porridge 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, cardamom, 1 teaspoon sugar or honey.
Saturday - Cereal and toast jam,marmalade or marmite, or maybe porridge again.
Sunday, crunchy toast- oven baked toast covered in olive oil, eggs- fried, poached or scrabbled, fried bacon, tomato, mushroom, baked beans or spaghetti or creamed corn, sometimes breakfast sausage instead of the bacon. We call it a Kiwi breakfast. Sometimes we might cook this up in the evening if we are in a hurry during the week. Every now and then it will include American pancakes and ice cream and maple syrup.
Saturday night after Church is homemade pizza night!
In England, what we know as pork & beans are known as baked beans.
I had them with my breakfast every morning.
That is something I had never encountered before going to England.
Daily when on the road: 2 or 3 eggs, over med.; hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes; sausage, italian, polish or german when available, plain patties when not; toast, peferably sour douugh for that matching attitude, or english muffins and a diet cola. At home: 3 eggs o/m and bacon or sausage; or wheat toast when I'm lazy; or Rice Crispis when I'm really lazy. Waffles when the wife fixes breakfast.
Bangers & mash = ?
Bubbles & squeak = ?
Fry up = ?

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
I one ordered chips and gravy at a truck stop in upper peninsula of Michigan. I saw the cook looking at me funny. Finally the waitress brought me a nice big plate of Lay's potato chips covered in gravy!
Fries and gravy, good old truck stop generic gravy that plugs arteries and pads the belly, pure heaven. They were chips as in "fish and chips" in Canada well into my teens. I even knew what a rod and a stone were and kids were lads and lasses.
Bangers n mash= sausages and mashed potato
Bubble n squeak = fried cabbage and mash potato
Spotted dick= current steam pudding.
Do you yanks do steam pudding?
2 cups of self raising flour, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 to 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs. Throw it all in a food processor so it looks like cake mixture. Throw in a cup of raisins or black currents. Pour into a stainless steel bowl. Put tin foil over it and and cook in boiling water for two hours. Serve with custard. This is real man's food!
For me I would rather eat pork pie or a Cornish pasty than bangers n mash. But bubble and squeak is just nasty!
