Americans try an English breakfast

[Chronos]

And Calories in breakfast don’t matter so much, either, as Calories per day. For some people, eating a bigger breakfast will be compensated for with a smaller lunch, or fewer snacks.

I’m not sure why you’re talking about “sangers.” I had to look this up, but it’s apparently an Australian slang word for sandwiches. There are no sandwiches in the breakfasts in that video. There are bangers, which are sausages.

FWIW:

“. Sangers can be sandwiches in one state and sausages in another”

A snag for the unwary

I cannot get into eating eggs english style where they are just barely cooked in the shell and then you cut open the shell and eat out the contents with a small spoon.

There’s nothing “English style” about soft boiled eggs.

Or pieces of toast. :o

Thanks, Melbourne. Two problems though. First, you didn’t highlight and underline the right part of the first link you gave. Instead of linking to the Sydney Morning Herald, as you intended, it linked to the Sarasota Memorial Health Care System. This was a nice bit of nostalgia for me, since that’s located just six miles from where I went to college, but it doesn’t tell me anything about Australian slang. The second link you gave gets me to a webpage which does tell me something about “sanger” being a slang word which is used in some parts of Australia for a sausage. Second, it’s probably not a good idea to use a slang word that isn’t even used in all of Australia. I tried to figure out what “sanger” meant, really I did, but the only mentions of the word that came up when I did a search on the term said that it was Australian slang for sandwich, so I wondered if you had mistyped s instead of b. In general, it’s not a great idea to use obscure slang words on the SDMB. I know that you think that you will be teaching us all something new, but it’s often the case that you will just be confusing us.

Yes, very much so, throughout the British Isles. A traditional full English or Scottish or Welsh or Irish breakfast tends to be an occasional thing. It’s a tremendous hangover cure, for one thing.

Because the hangover has time to subside in the time it takes to eat it?

I had no intention of teaching you anything: the word is part of my language, and I used it as I would any word.

It is a fact that the English language isn’t owned by any of us, and is different in different parts of the world, and even in different regions of the same country.

I didn’t highlight and underline any part of the ‘first’ link: that is done by your browser. Your browser guessed smh.com.au as a link, but did not recognise .au

…two countries separated by a common browser ?
