American says his full English breakfast is 'hard to beat' but there's problem

American says his full English breakfast is 'hard to beat' but there's problem When an American man snapped a quick picture of the full English he was about to devour in a gorgeous setting, he didn't know that Brits everywhere were about to pile on him A full English breakfast goes down a storm as a weekend treat, and people have different preferences about what it should look like. However, the general consensus is the plate should be piled high with bacon, sausage, egg, and beans at the very least. And by piled high, the plate shouldn't be visible until you've started to tuck into your hearty plate of food. One American man, Dr Nick Colyvas, decided to treat himself to a full English because, why wouldn't you when you're in the UK? But he soon learned the hard way and ended up making a lot of Brits very angry. Ensure our latest Mirror headlines always appear at the top of your Google Search by making us a Preferred Source.

Hard to beat," as he posted his plate of food and the stunning scenery outside. What was wrong with his full English? But while the weather looked perfectly crisp and lovely outside, people couldn't believe what they were seeing on his plate, claiming there was nothing full about it at all. A sausage, some bacon, beans, mushroom, egg and tomato were all present. But there was far too little of every ingredient, and they were spaced out in a way that almost made the dish look 'arty,' which isn't the point of a full English at all. Some people referred to it as a "child's portion," wondering whether he was going to be even vaguely full after what he'd eaten. Another criticised it as a "MasterChef full English," saying it was a "small portion" that wasn't "worth the bother". "Can almost hear the husky voice-over guy describing it as full artisan," he fumed. Nick explained: "Well, it was a buffet, so I guess I was the portion chef, and my voice is a bit dry from the jet lag, so you’re onto something there." A third penned: "An English breakfast is delicious, especially eaten on holiday when you have time to appreciate it. However, unfortunately, that one doesn’t look particularly appealing. What has happened to the eggs? I presume they’re scrambled? And a smaller plate might be better, perhaps." Nick responded: "Agree, but the size of the plate doesn’t change the taste of the ingredients in any way. I’m learning that if you post food pics, presentation is important! "That’s the plates they had; those are the portions I chose. Yes, the eggs are scrambled (I prefer poached)." Another criticism he faced was not having black pudding, but explained that he's "not a fan". But someone defended his full English and wrote: "As you've discovered to hilarious results, most Brits think a 'full' English must contain at least 2,000 calories and enough cholesterol to block the arteries of everyone in the room, although to be fair to them, they don't actually consider the calories or cholesterol..." Nick eventually did a blanket response to the criticism as he said: "I appreciate all of the comments rightfully pointing out the volume is lacking here, but my commentary is more about the combination of the delicious ingredients and the setting. I chose the portions to match my appetite."
