Stalker was amused by another outbreak of outrage in the lifestyle pages in the British newspapers about the latest interloper to the traditional English fry.
Pineapple should be part of a full English breakfast, according to some historians.
The exotic fruit was once eaten at breakfast to indicate the diner’s status and refined palate. The English Breakfast Society is now urging aficionados of the cooked breakfast to replace mushrooms or tomatoes with a grilled round of fresh or tinned pineapple alongside their bacon, eggs and sausages. Guise Bule de Missenden, the society’s founder and chairman, insists pineapple has a long history on the nation’s breakfast plates.
The English Breakfast Society has previously courted controversy over the proper composition of a full English by calling for an end to the inclusion of hash browns in favour of more traditional bubble and squeak.
Replace mushrooms - Stalker thinks not! Thankfully the mushrooms maintain pride of place on the traditional English fry menu.
