Episode notes
Hosts Introduce Two British Meals
- Jackie and Richard introduce two very British meals: the full English breakfast and the Sunday roast.
- Jackie names the full English as her favourite and describes it as a large cooked meal.
What Makes A Full English
- The full English breakfast is a large cooked meal commonly including bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, beans and tomatoes.
- It's often served with fried bread or buttered toast and a large cup of tea, making it a heavy, fried meal.
Treat The Full English As An Occasion
- Avoid eating a full English every morning since it's high in fried food and not very healthy.
- Instead, enjoy it occasionally at cafes or pubs where many places serve it all day.
