30 Baht? For a bowl of yesterdays cold curry or a khao tom? You were done mate! But each to his own - you go right ahead and enjoy yourself with that stuff, it's all yours! I'll stick to the high cost, high cholesterol diet and obtain full satisfaction while it lasts!
Thanks, Jaime, for the vivid description of the perfect English Breakfast. I think that by now most readers will know exactly what I wanted to say in my earlier post on this thread and why I always keep a safety distance to any signs offering EB. 50 meters is usually enough to risk neither smell nor to be within sight.

Sounds like something Welsh picked up when the Japanese explorers arrived centuries ago...cockles and seaweed tempura. Pete

You don't know what you're missing Gutte!

I always wondered why our family name is Kawasaki!
I'm not too particular about my mustard but I have several friends who only accept certain types of Finnish mustard. I've tasted some very good ones in Russia too (taste great on top of a slice of rye.)
Yes Gutter that was a very anal statement to make.
English/British cuisine is famous the whole world over. Not for the overall quality and vaiety of dishes but for the breakfast. Other dishes have become synonymous with England such as Roast Beef actually a French Import and Fish and Chips also imported from one of the colonies.
The real English classic is the FEB (Full English Breakfast). To really make it "Full" it should be Bacon, Eggs fried sunny side up, Sausages (English of course) Black Pudding (as Jaime says completely bugggerred and crispy). fried bread, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, bubble and squeak and for that little extra, if you think that you need a little more, a serving of baked beans in tomato sauce. Everbody has their own likes and dislikes when it comes to condiments. Accompanyiang this should be two buttered slices of bread to mop up all the sauces and juices and two pint mugs of strong PG Tips brewed in a pot. On completion of this exquisite dish the plate should be absolutely spotless.
The Irish variation is also excellent but the sausages contain diffferent spices and the Black Pudding is not quite the same and is somtimes replaced by White Pudding.
The time taken to consume this dish coincides exactly with the time taken to read the sports section of the Currant Bun and goggle for a while at page three.
I had heard that in Wales they add some sort of extract of sewage but I think Jaime has explained that one already. A very tasty addition I believe.

Hi BG, I’ve never tasted Finnish mustard so I must reserve judgement on that. I do have a Finnish mate in BKK though who has all things Finnish (including a Finnish sauna in his garden!) so he will surely have some for me to try. He probably keeps it in his special Finnish product cupboard…. next to the black vodka!

I believe that battered fish & chips was a dish brought back from the Napoleonic Peninsular Wars in Spain & Portugal, along with sherry and port.
