Do you think the change reflects the shift in lifestyles though?

A lot of people don't want to sit and eat anymore. Everything has to be done at a breakneck speed. Costs go up, wages aren't exactly matching so it gets pretty cutthroat as a lot of these places are cash only to avoid the revenue.

I'm not saying they don't have their place but it's just one of those traditions that aren't evolving.

No it cos we are evolving to fast?

The sad thing is I could probably find a YouTube montage that shows a sausage taking its first gulp of air as it emerges from the Atlantic.

its all down to the price chris  our family cafe  used to peel ther potatoes for boiling chipping  now 95% use frozen french fries ,  used to prep  and cook all our veg and cook joints of beef whole chickens from local butchers  etc them days are over where the local eggman   butcher and greengrocer drops fresh food at a cafe  the economics dont allow it youl get packet processed shit served up in them shithouses now days  il stick to me old school pie n mash  and saltbeef    , if i want a brekki like i will do on crimbo morning and after im off to suffolk for eggs bacon pudding and sausges  veg real food how it should be

Good call on the sausages

I don't mind buying cheaper stuff, but there's 2 things I absolutely refuse to skimp on -  tea and sausages !

When we get rained off we like to go to one of those pubs that do all you can eat breakfasts for a fiver.

I agree with that. The mug needs to be oversized though and the tea needs to be Yorkshire Gold. Black Pudding needs to be from Bury.

Being at a 5000-mile disadvantage I have to do this myself. Luckily I have an excellent butcher. Saying that I frequent a couple of excellent Yank diners that can hold their own with the motherland.

What's the bacon like in America?

For me Has to be good bacon, sausage, black poodig, fried mushrooms, runny eggs, tomatoes fried or tinned. and a good fried slice and crusty bread at the least!

Says it al about 99% of the cafes in London. The rot set in when all the old owners retired or were priced out, what a shame used to love going to the cafe on a regular basis

A proper cafe not a shitty weatherspoons!

And no funny looks when I use the toast to wipe the plate clean ?

[South hams hunter 8,938]

This is the only place I enjoy a breakfast from, it' only 7.50 anyway if you want to sit and savour it. All food cooked properly as you come in and a proper tea that gets refilled if empty.

 Never get my head around chips in a fry up or a burger patty.
