This wog never had an English breakfast, what a crock. No tomatoes. Tch, tch, tch.
Without tomatoes, whoever served his ''breakfast'' would be treated to a stay in the Tower.
Or, this wog's a liar. Take your choice.

It also includes sauteed mushrooms, baked tomatoes, and toasted bread--NOT English muffins. Did I mention the blood sausage?

English breakfast is horrible. The other food is not much better either. You can't go wrong with Oriental though. The Chinese restaurants in London...mmmmm.

Tower Bridge was actually different from London Bridge, something I didn't know beforeThe London Bridge has fallen down.
:-D
To tell the truth, I wasn't to enamored with the food in London...but maybe it was just me.

When I lived there I preferred Indian and Thai. Chinatown was the only place you get decent vegetables.

I've heard that the food in the UK is awful." I'd always heard that, too. But I spent ten days in London last year and had some great meals. There are a lot of excellent ethnic restaurants and the English steakhouses are good, albeit somewhat expenisve.
I'm going back in August and already have a couple of favorite restaurants I plan to re-visit. I'll be going to Brighton and St. Ives, too, so I'll see if the food outside of London holds up. ;-)

Pub food is good. Had some good Italian food in London.
Breakfast was great. Tea was great. That was good enough for me, usually.

If he had to be such an ungrateful tourist, I'm glad he went to Britain instead of America, with his glass half empty and all.

It was consistently the worst food I've ever had. Short of spending a small fortune on Scottish beef it was awful. Boiled fish encrusted in salt was one of the most memorable items... I couldn't eat it... And I was very hungry...

Correct. Nonetheless -- and check it for yourself -- tomatoes are absolutely a staple of the English breakfast. If you can eat breakfast in a B&B w/o a tomato or two showing up, I will pay your costs. (hint: mug's bet, don't accept it)

The Windsors are German, after all. Cut em some slack.
I wonder if the English serve Uschinger Liversausage on toast.
