Would you like some beans with that?
Nah! I’m right off beans but a lump of black pudding would go down well
I’m sorry, but I can’t eat baked beans unless they are served with a side of BBQ pork ribs and cole slaw.
I know exactley where you are coming from with this post spogga, the cafe I go to on the occasional sunday is in a supermarket and the amount of people who get flummoxed by the options is collosal, but i’m yet to have to intervene and take a plate off a mad woman yet. Fair play though, that is a classic way to deal with it - I have seen a lot of situations that could have been remedied by a quick thinking member of the line and a couple of burly security guards. That’ll learn the beanless freak.
On a related topic, are tinned baked beans in tomatoe sauce not common place in America? I must be a total dumbass because I just assumed they were American originally. And what is considered the classic cooked breakfast in the U.S (or anywhere other than Britain for that matter)?
Classic cooked breakfast in the USA:
Eggs (scrambled, dippy, poached, or omelet)
Bacon and/or Sausage
Biscuit (not the British definition)
perhaps sausage gravy over the biscuit
or
Pancakes or Waffles with butter & syrup
Bacon and/or sausage
And we have canned baked beans in sauce here. Several brand names, actually (Bush’s, Campbell’s). We just don’t eat them for breakfast. 
Only 8 ciggies? you trying to quit?
Also you DON’T want the breakfast in Turkey/Tunisia or for that matter any part of N.Africa.
Hard boiled eggs [God knows how old they are]
Feta cheese [phew]
Rock hard bread
Olives
Tomatoes
All as cold as a witches tit and tasting about the same.
I’d wager that it’d be better with butter. Has that been tried and discarded?
Dippy Eggs? WTF ?
HOMEBREW: Tried and discarded, butter burns the bread and also one could put on far to much weight 
Did I mention that we sometimes add potato cakes to our traditional English brekky, just to fill any empty spaces y’understand
Texas Breakfast:

I practically threw up after reading the description of black pudding… Do you actually eat that?
What’s Engish mustard?
dwalin (still nauseated)

Sunny side up. Uncracked liquid yolks, perfect for dipping toast into.
spogga, you are fast becoming one of my favorite posters.
‘Chicken fried steak’ - is that like a fried chicken breast or some kind of beef steak fried in chicken fat or something?
‘Cathead biscuits’ - that has to be a brand name, not some grotesque baked feline abomination?
All in all it don’t sound too bad, if I got the idea right…chicken or steak - good…gravy - good…catheads - good…bacon/sausage - good, baby its all good.
It’s still rank stuff. I may be a namby pamby southerner, but you northern monkeys clearly need some re-education…!
Ah, you are getting Super Wal-Marts! We’ve had those for a couple of decades here (Texas).
“Chicken-fried steak” is a piece of cheap steak fried up in the same way you’d fry a chicken.
Take a boneless round steak, season lavishly with salt and pepper, and dredge it in some flour that’s also been laced with S & P. Pan-fry it in what would seem to be far too much oil or bacon grease. It’s usually served with a pan gravy.
It makes a nice breakfast once in a while, but you don’t see it often in the northeastern states. Here in New York City you’re more likely to get
2 eggs, fried or scrambled
a large pile of sliced potatoes, fried with onions and peppers (home fries)
bacon, ham, or sausage
buttered toast: white, rye, or whole wheat
small glass of juice: orange, grapefruit, or tomato
all the weak coffee you can drink.
Cathead biscuits are so called because they are biscuits, hopefully butter-milk biscuits, the size of cat heads usually cooked in an iron skillet.
