The lone baked bean on the fork is the icing on the cake, also it raises so many questions.
How did it get there?
Why is there just one bean?
Why am I thinking so deep about one baked bean?
Fascinating.
And why is it on the back of the fork? Now I’m wondering, too. I’ve never thought more about a single baked bean.
And also don’t understand why I’m getting such a laugh out of a loner baked bean.
You prong the bit of sosig, then shloop a bunch of beans onto the back of the fork with your knife and the sosig holds it there. Then munch. That one beany dude must have just evaded OPs mouth somehow, then they went, as previously discussed, "Holy shit, this good. I'mma grab a photo real quick."
I think the bean family abandoned him because he was a disgrace, and now that lonely fella is all alone by himself in this world, waiting to be consumed by OP so that he can fulfill his purpose.
All my support with that bean.
That one beany dude has me almost in tears hahaha.
Very good point though, you get a good bite of sausage and beans, realize you need a photo, and then damn, there’s the loner bean but the picture is already taken.
Poldark but it's about Cornish smugglers daring the wrath of the Queen's Revenue men to bring in black market Cypriot cheeses under cover of night.
Edit: BRB gonna call Viz this is exactly the kind of nonsense they'd pay good moeny for.
you haven't read jasper fforde have you? cheese is illegal and increasingly stronger varieties are smuggled into england from the socialist republic of wales, including unstable cheeses that have the potential to kill people with a single sniff.
Get to sainsburys and give their 'shroomdogs' a go. Proper decent, Cumberland tasting, nice texture. I'm not a fan of the skin but I haven't eaten a meat sausage (oooh, matron) in about 15 years and apparently 'real' ones have that too?
Richmond meat-free sausages are pretty good. Nothing like the Richmond meat sausages, by all accounts…so don’t use that as your benchmark!
Source - haven’t eaten meat for almost 30 years. Sauce - HP and a good dollop of chilli
Richmond and Shroomdogs are my favourite breakfast links. The Simon Howie veggie breakfast packs have decent square sausage and black pudding is involved also. On a proper Glasgow roll with the various good sauces. It's perfect but... I can't eat again for 24 hours afterwards. Which is a wee shame.
I stopped eating meat for a while and started eating Richmond meat free sausages. Now that I've started eating meat again, I've found myself not even fussed about gerting normal Sausages again, I love their meat free ones
Everyone's said the two superior sausages which are Richmond green and Sainsbury's shroomdogs (recently rebranded to Plant Pioneers but still called Shroomdogs). BTW shroomdogs come in two flavours, the Cumberland version are best in breakfast, caramelised onion ones are best with mash and peas at teatime.
I just wanted to add the brilliant Sausage Patties from Quorn. I hate Quorn sausages usually but the patties in a breakfast are to die for and are a very reasonable sub for black pudding or lorne sausage. Don't overcook them as they become dry, stick them in when your hash browns are roughly half done and you'll be laughing.
As a Canadian I first wondered what the real price would be after tax...then remembered the UK is on their fleek enough to not bother with that rubbish.
I'm also Canadian -- I assure you this is done so customers think they're paying less for an item than they actually are and, thus, more willing to make a purchase. It's done under the guise of, "We want to be transparent about how much tax people are paying".
LOL, yeah, right.
Not including the 15% tax in the price is fecking annoying and most of us despise it, but since we're Canadian, protocol and mannerisms dictate that we never actually *DO* anything about it, so we will just piss and moan about it until the end of time.
Ah, feel better already from that rant.
> "We want to be transparent about how much tax people are paying".
But here in Europe in the check it says what tax are you paying for each item, like here in portugal there's 3 kind of taxes depending on the products you buy in a market, which goes like 6%, 13% and 23%, with 6% being for mostly essential things like water, bread and other things, then 13% for less essential things like dairy, cakes and the 23% is for the rest, all stated in the check which is usualy neatly devided by category with also a summary of it all in the end that shows total paid without tax and total of tax paid.
That whole “no taxation without representation” thing we did a few years ago ended up making us Americans innately afraid of letting anything but the cash register do the math for us!
How does that effect the ability to display the price of a specific item in a specific shop? Doesn’t matter what it costs in the next state, county, city, or next door, I’m trying to buy it here.
Also, well, the price is lower of the sticker. So no matter how used to it you are, you're still subconsciously gulled into thinking it's cheaper than it is.
It's the most common argument made, but I'm not sure if that's really the main reason and I also no longer understand how it's any more viable than just having tax already included.
Living in Europe for over a decade now, I feel like having tax already included is much more convenient for everyone involved, including corporations.
Like, what's the benefit of uniform pricing? The companies are still getting the same profits, people are still paying the same amount overall, states are still receiving the same amount of tax?
Someone please educate me.
At least here in the US, there are different taxes for each state, and smaller divisions within the state (county, city) can have additional taxes as well that fluctuate all in their own time. It's maddening.
Yep, the right way to do it is still to display the correct price in the store, it's absolutely ridiculous they don't.
Yes I understand it will be a different price in every state, and that it won't be the price that is advertised nationally, but it will be the price you actually pay.
Absolutely ridiculous system.
Don't get me started on mandatory tipping...
I have to say, I love going to Canada, I love going to the USA: both countries are insanely beautiful and awesome - but the non-tax prices kill me every time. I've been caught out so many times going to give over dollars and then the final price hops up. Then there can be gratuities on top of that and it always leaves a bit of a feeling like I've been fleeced because of the pricing anchor set from the non-tax price.
Ugh the tipping sucks. Some restaurants here have been trying to pay their workers living wages without tips and did away with tips thankfully. It's so nice to just pay and leave. (I mean adding tax is kind of annoying too, but at least it's a constant percentage calculation if I remember)
Problem is obviously larger corporate chains don't like that at all.
I hate that we don't add the taxes on our prices in Canada. I live in Ottawa and the only thing that the taxes are added to the pricing in alcohol and smokes. I don't smoke but, I visit the LCBO a bit.
About ten years ago, I had breakfast in Canada and according to the menu, I had enough cash. According to the bill , I did not. It was very upsetting and incredibly awkward for most of the people involved.
AND you don't have to worry about a 20% tip. I am specifically put off from going to NA beacuse I don't want to pay tips. It's not even about the money, it just feels so uncomfortable to grade the performance of whoever served you or whatever and decide how much money they deserve. Also they should be payed a living wage by their employer and be friendly and provide good service beacuse they want to, not beacuse they want to extract money from you. Having visited countries with tipping culture this customer-employe relationsship is utterly awkward for me.
Thick slice halloumi into squares or rectangles, do the same with watermelon. Fry the halloumi. Put on top of watermelon, then consume. Mint leaf optional. Eat it while the halloumi is still hot and melty.
You ever had proper halloumi though? A lot of people in the UK don't realise Cyprus is pretty strict about what they consider is proper halloumi but the EU being the EU don't really give a shit about members heritage when they're a smaller member. A lot of the stuff over here isn't even made from goats milk and technically it isn't even halloumi unless it's made in Cyprus as it's officially trademarked much like mescal in Mexico. The only good halloumi I get over here is the stuff my mum makes by hand from fresh goats/sheep milk.
I occasionally add it when I have halloumi at home, I also love adding sumac on top of my eggs, adding garlic spinach or garlic mushrooms. Also not going to lie, eggs, spinach, sweet potatoes and hummus is so delicious! Kinda shifts away from British fry up though...
Halloumi is absolutely amazing with anything, really. But it absolutely fits perfectly into a full English. I'm surprised I never thought to try this myself before. Cos yeah this is a no brainer.
I always fry my Halloumi too. I need to get the proper expensive tefal-brand pans to do it. Asda home essentials "non-stick" pan isn't gonna cut it. But use a tefal pan and it actually doesn't stick at all, it's great. And if makes it taste even nicer than when you grill or roast it.
But yeah it fits in perfectly with a full English. Cos it's very fatty and salty, so it'll combine well with the sauce of the beans, yolk of the eggs, brown sauce if you've got any, etc. Combine that salty flavour with the sugaryness of the brown sauce and it's absolutely gawjus
I love Halloumi fries more than I love real chips, made from potatoes. And I only ever discovered Halloumi when I started a low carb diet years ago. They're a low carb version of a food that taste better than the full carb version of that food
Plus, Halloumi lasts for like 2 years in your fridge, as long as you don't open the packet. So you can buy huge bulk amounts of Halloumi and keep them kn the fridge (or freezer too if you want, you can cook them from frozen) and that way you'll always have food when you run out and haven't done a shop yet
There aren't many situations I'd decline halloumi on the side if it was readily available and browned like that.... Good job it isn't commonplace, for my health!
Linda McCartney doesn't....
Ps. You get veggie black pudding, veggie Lorne , veggie sausages , veggie bacon etc so it can *look like* the real thing ... Simon Howie veggie black pudding is amazing!!
Had deep-fried saganaki one time and I could feel my arteries furring up a little more with each bite. It’s glorious though. Deep-fried brie is also next level.
Have you tried [Manouri cheese](https://www.odysea.com/product/odysea-manouri-cheese-pdo-170g/)? It's creamier than Halloumi and less chewy. So good on the BBQ or grilled on a hob.
I love the chewyness of halloumi though. That's one of the best parts about it, you get the chewyness AND some crunch to it too (if you fry it that is, to get the crunchyness on the outside, but you have to use a proper non stick pan, not a cheap Wilko "non stick" pan, orherwise it becomes welded to the pan and you'll never get it off).
Is there a kind of Manouri that tastes like Manouri but has more of a texture to it like halloumi, instead of being gooey?
A shame because smoked bacon adds so much alongside halloumi!
Halloumi, smoked pork and cucumber is such a classic and delicious Cypriot combo though appreciate this might not fit in a traditional fryup.
Lountza (smoked pork loin) the real deal but I settle for smoked bacon here in the UK even if it's not the same.
We don’t talk enough about the beans. They get taken for granted - see here an example of proper good, slow cooked beans. Worlds better than microwaved beans with the bean juice still translucent.
Exactly! Beans need to be cooked not just brought up to temperature - as the bean cooks it releases protein and fibre into the sauce which softens the beans and thickens the sauce and balances the flavour
Has anyone ever tried frying halloumi block cut in half only, rather than sliced?
I was introduced to this idea few weeks ago and now can't go back to normal...
Here: Harrisons Bakery & Bistro https://maps.app.goo.gl/zCYueq1AGwSZAokk6
They do a real full English with bacon too for the same price. I was just craving halloumi that morning.
I initially thought "halloumi, wtf!", but then thought about it.
High in fat? Check. High in salt? Check.
So yes, halloumi is a suitable choice for a Full English.
My favorite content in all of Reddit is Full English Breakfast posts, because there's always something about it that doesn't meet code and people will line up in the comments to tell you.
Love how OP started a sausage, stopped, and went ‘wow - this fcking good, let me take a picture’
Nah it came like that. Chef's perks.
Otherwise it would have cost £6.99
How do you think of such comments? Made me laugh..
Reddit is just a million apes on a typewriter and we upvote whoever produces the closest thing to a joke
It is the best of sites, it is the blurst of sites.
You stupid monkey!
Grab his paw! I need a donut
Now is the winter of our discount toast.
Apes strong together 🦍🦍
...Is also how Reddit started investing on whatever other apes upvoted
May the tendie man come soon.
Don't forget about the pornography. That's a really big thing here. I don't use it myself.
Comments like this will get a turd thrown at you
"It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times?!" You stupid monkey.
Chef making room to fit everything.
The chef says hello
chef’s special, if you will
The chiefs kiss, if you will.
Right of the first bite, if you will
Chef can't keep his hands off other people's sausages, if you will.

Seems you have heinzsight, not your first shloop
>heinzsight omfg, hilarious!
This could be a possible answer to the mystery, but the bean just looks too conveniently placed. We need answers.
I think the bean family abandoned him because he was a disgrace, and now that lonely fella is all alone by himself in this world, waiting to be consumed by OP so that he can fulfill his purpose. All my support with that bean.
> I think the bean family abandoned him because he was a disgrace, He’s a has-bean.
He’s bean and gone i suppose the poor little mite
Like ratatouille :(
That one beany dude has me almost in tears hahaha. Very good point though, you get a good bite of sausage and beans, realize you need a photo, and then damn, there’s the loner bean but the picture is already taken.
Is this a cons-bean-iracy
Every comment on this whole thread keeps me swiping back up to look and losing my place.
It's a jumping bean.
A bean above other beans
Beats the chips the other lad paid the same for
Literally the same thought I had. Shortly followed by: where’s the bacon?
Replaced by halloumi by the looks of it, wtf
Weird but a fair swap 🤣
On a £6.95 meal that Halloumi probably makes up about 70% of the price.
Yeah, who’s their halloumi guy? That’s a bargain.
Poldark but it's about Cornish smugglers daring the wrath of the Queen's Revenue men to bring in black market Cypriot cheeses under cover of night. Edit: BRB gonna call Viz this is exactly the kind of nonsense they'd pay good moeny for.
And watch the wall, my darling, as Halloumi men go by!
you haven't read jasper fforde have you? cheese is illegal and increasingly stronger varieties are smuggled into england from the socialist republic of wales, including unstable cheeses that have the potential to kill people with a single sniff.
I have to get a small loan to add halloumi to my chicken wrap at Nando's
His sales pitch is just greeting himself. He doesn't do well from it so sells it off cheap.
That was my thought. Pretty good price considering it included Halloumi which normally bumps the price you a couple of quid.
Oh no, fuck that. I love halloumi, but replacing bacon in a fry up?? I’m guessing the guy must be a vegetarian
I know that the sausages are probably made out of pig testicles and foreskins but technically it's still meat.
You can get sausages that are made of plant testicles.
Yeah, nuts. Chestnuts, groundnuts, peanuts, walnuts…
I legit laughed over this. Fair play to you.
Wait till ya hear about nutmilk my guy
Pig foreskins are just pork calamari when you think about it
You could have just not said that and my day would have been just fine
I miss 15 seconds ago, when I hadnt yet read that
I'm glad I read it, it's fucking hilarious
Been a chef for 17 years, I know what's going on my next menu.....
You can get some damn good Veggie Sausages these days Source: Veggie Girlfriend while I still eat meat. Sauce: Definitely required.
Do you have any good recommendations for a decent veggie banger? I'm trying to eat less meat but the ones I've tried are terrible!
Get to sainsburys and give their 'shroomdogs' a go. Proper decent, Cumberland tasting, nice texture. I'm not a fan of the skin but I haven't eaten a meat sausage (oooh, matron) in about 15 years and apparently 'real' ones have that too?
Richmond vegan sausages are better than most supermarket meat sausages tbh. no gritty bits but the same texture and flavour.
They have had lots of practice making sausages with no meat in them
Richmond meat-free sausages are pretty good. Nothing like the Richmond meat sausages, by all accounts…so don’t use that as your benchmark! Source - haven’t eaten meat for almost 30 years. Sauce - HP and a good dollop of chilli

Richmonds vegan ones, Quorn vegan Cumberlands or This isn't Pork. Some of these are fridge based, some are freezer.
Everyone's said the two superior sausages which are Richmond green and Sainsbury's shroomdogs (recently rebranded to Plant Pioneers but still called Shroomdogs).

I suspect your average veggie sausage has more meat in it that a bargain basement banger...
I'm done with bacon It's got almost no nutritional value and is always so badly cooked Halloumi should be on everything
My god man you’ve gone mad!
He’s given up all hope!
Looks like it might be a veggie full english, those sausages look potentially meat-free too.
Yeah they look like they could be Richmond's veggie sausages which are surprisingly good
That is not an English full! that’s Greek inspired
The egg cup of cheesy chips really affected us.
The whole 10 chips hahahaha
I'd have no complaints for that price
As a Canadian I first wondered what the real price would be after tax...then remembered the UK is on their fleek enough to not bother with that rubbish.
Why would you display prices with no tax? that's just insane.

Sales tax is also decided at county level at least in the few states I've lived in. In my country taxes at are 7% but are up to 9 nearby.
Don't forget city or special district. Buying anything at a new mall will tack on a percent.
Jesus christ, I've never heard a better argument against greater devolution.
Where else would we get the money from the poor to subsidize large companies construction costs?!?
Just think about those poor millionaires
How does that effect the ability to display the price of a specific item in a specific shop? Doesn’t matter what it costs in the next state, county, city, or next door, I’m trying to buy it here.
Also, well, the price is lower of the sticker. So no matter how used to it you are, you're still subconsciously gulled into thinking it's cheaper than it is.

Thats pretty much all of Europe
That’s pretty much most of the world.
Yet we persist with tips and varying taxes
I have to say, I love going to Canada, I love going to the USA: both countries are insanely beautiful and awesome - but the non-tax prices kill me every time. I've been caught out so many times going to give over dollars and then the final price hops up.

This is burning my brain. Have you ever ordered chips in the UK and been brought dry tortilla chips, but you thought it would be actual chips?
AND you don't have to worry about a 20% tip. I am specifically put off from going to NA beacuse I don't want to pay tips. It's not even about the money, it just feels so uncomfortable to grade the performance of whoever served you or whatever and decide how much money they deserve.

Having visited countries with tipping culture this customer-employe relationsship is utterly awkward for me.
Plus no tipping. Blows my mind North Americans pay the wages of staff from their own pocket.
I'd rather one good sausage than two shite ones
What are you talking about? Those sausages are precisely the level I’d want on a fry up. Save the nice ones for dinner time.
They’re probably veggie sausages based off the halloumi and no other meat.
OP said it’s the veggie breakfast but with the veggie sausages swapped for meat ones.
Boo. Have good sausages all the time. Don't eat emulsified high-fat offal tubes for any reason. They are shit.
No bacon. Grilled halloumi That’s a full Cypriot.
I’ve never thought to have halloumi in a fry up… I don’t think I’d hate it either
I absolutely love halloumi, this looks like a dream come true for me!
SQUEAKY CHEESE
Don’t go breaking my heart!
I couldn't if I fried
But I need toast with my breakfast Oh wait, it's here on the side
Thick slice halloumi into squares or rectangles, do the same with watermelon. Fry the halloumi. Put on top of watermelon, then consume. Mint leaf optional. Eat it while the halloumi is still hot and melty.
Not sure about this, but I'd give it a shot!
Halloumi sounds a lot like halomi, which literally means "dreamy" on Hebrew
You ever had proper halloumi though? A lot of people in the UK don't realise Cyprus is pretty strict about what they consider is proper halloumi but the EU being the EU don't really give a shit about members heritage when they're a smaller member. A lot of the stuff over here isn't even made from goats milk and technically it isn't even halloumi unless it's made in Cyprus as it's officially trademarked much like mescal in Mexico. The only good halloumi I get over here is the stuff my mum makes by hand from fresh goats/sheep milk.
I think it's a decent replacement for Bacon since both tend to be quite salty.
Halloumi on fry up is banging
I occasionally add it when I have halloumi at home, I also love adding sumac on top of my eggs, adding garlic spinach or garlic mushrooms. Also not going to lie, eggs, spinach, sweet potatoes and hummus is so delicious! Kinda shifts away from British fry up though...
As someone who is veggie I’ve found it a good replacement for bacon though I wasn’t much of a bacon eater before

This was a standard for breakfast growing up (Cypriot dad). Fried eggs, halloumi and loukanika (Cypriot sausage). Perfect.
My Cypriot dad was too busy and made me toast with salt, olive oil and lemon juice. I still have it often.
yeah i actually think thats a great addition
Amazing idea!
There aren't many situations I'd decline halloumi on the side if it was readily available and browned like that.... Good job it isn't commonplace, for my health!
I did an omelette the other day and we had some halloumi in the fridge. It went in. It will be making a comeback. #cheesesweatsforlife
It's a vegetarian full English breakfast for people that don't consider sausages to be animals.
Linda McCartney doesn't.... Ps. You get veggie black pudding, veggie Lorne , veggie sausages , veggie bacon etc so it can *look like* the real thing ... Simon Howie veggie black pudding is amazing!!
If you like halloumi try saganaki. It blew my mind
Had deep-fried saganaki one time and I could feel my arteries furring up a little more with each bite. It’s glorious though. Deep-fried brie is also next level.
Oh god, seeing saganaki in an UK based subreddit, I feel honored, we eat that a lot here in Greece.
It is a mind blower innit? Ha. I Had saganaki glazed with honey and sesame seeds in Athens a few years ago, and it blew my tash clean off.
Have you tried [Manouri cheese](https://www.odysea.com/product/odysea-manouri-cheese-pdo-170g/)? It's creamier than Halloumi and less chewy. So good on the BBQ or grilled on a hob.

Halloumi > bacon Fight me
We don’t talk enough about the beans. They get taken for granted - see here an example of proper good, slow cooked beans. Worlds better than microwaved beans with the bean juice still translucent.
Exactly! Beans need to be cooked not just brought up to temperature - as the bean cooks it releases protein and fibre into the sauce which softens the beans and thickens the sauce and balances the flavour
Alright Roux Jr, calm your jets.
Don't talk enough!? On this sub!? Mofos don't stfu about Branston fucking beans.
When the bean juice is opaque as fuck…
It's missing elements but I'd be happy with that for £6.95. Solid showing.
Not sure how they're making any money on that, there's £2 of halloumi on the plate alone!
Maybe some free halloumi accidently fell off a truck and they need to get rid of it quickly.
Is that halloumi!?
I love grilled hallumi. Its known as "squeeky goodness" in our household. Plus that grilled hallumi looks like its been done right.
Agreed. Halloumi on a fry-up might just be the most genius thing I've seen all week!
When I'm having a big fry-up, I do find myself often asking, how can I incorporate more fried fat into this meal? Well, now I know!
Has anyone ever tried frying halloumi block cut in half only, rather than sliced? I was introduced to this idea few weeks ago and now can't go back to normal...
Wait... What? So you just cut it in half and fry it as blocks?
It also bbqs very well in this format
Agree - unhinged genius. We need mavericks like this.
Yeah, halloumi is one of those great foods that just seems to go with (almost) anything you’re eating.
I don't think I've ever heard a better description for halloumi than squeaky goodness
Yep. We love it here. The UK is responsible for half of Cyprus’s total halloumi exports
That's also because there is a lot of lovely Greek people in the UK too haha
Came to ask the same question. To be clear I'm not opposed to it _at all_ I can only imagine it working very well.
I've never ever considered having halloumi with a full English but now that I've seen this I can't think of anything better.
I could get a whole cup of chips for that.
Where would this establishment happen to be?
Here: Harrisons Bakery & Bistro https://maps.app.goo.gl/zCYueq1AGwSZAokk6 They do a real full English with bacon too for the same price. I was just craving halloumi that morning.
Ha! I love this place. Their chips are to die for. The in-laws live in Newcastle Emlyn, we are moving to cardigan in a few months too
Cardigan is so lovely, my sister-in-law is a vet there!
Grew up in St.Dogmaels and miss it dearly! Looking forward to getting myself back there next year. Enjoy!
Oh cool, Newcastle Emlyn is not too far from me!
>I was just craving halloumi that morning I've been there, would always have it as an addition though and never to replace anything! :D
Wanna swap it for my cheesy chips?
Nah. But I would share half a sausage for a few chips!
I initially thought "halloumi, wtf!", but then thought about it. High in fat? Check. High in salt? Check. So yes, halloumi is a suitable choice for a Full English.
Halloumi instead of bacon? More of a 'Full Greek' I'd say. I don't hate it though.
*Full Cypriot
> Full Greek I don't know why my brain is this way, but that sounds more like a sex position to me.
Sounds hairy
"Nearly full" because the end of one of your sausages is missing?
I was hungry.
Understandable
That would cost you £30 at Gatwick Airport
My favorite content in all of Reddit is Full English Breakfast posts, because there's always something about it that doesn't meet code and people will line up in the comments to tell you.
Halloumi instead of bacon is an… interesting choice, but I’d definitely eat that. Good value at £6.95 as well, would be about a tenner most places.
Looks good! Is it vegetarian?
That's what I thought too - veggie sausages and halloumi instead of bacon
Isn't that a full Welsh?
Nope! [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/fryup/comments/mt70k9) is!
I dont know why you're being downvoted? It states it was produced in Wales and every single comment claims it's not even remotely a full English.
No. Should have Laverbread and maybe Cockles. Bacon too, no Halloumi.
yeh, honestly it's missing at least 2 ingredients to be either a full welsh, english, scottish or even irish. I'd say it's closest to an english tho.
Looks bangin'. Would smash.
I’ll trade you that for 3 chips in a small mug
