A Morrisons customer has sparked a lively online debate after sharing a photograph of his substantial breakfast plate from the supermarket's cafe, with many shoppers expressing astonishment at the price point.
Social Media Buzz Over Morrisons' Big Breakfast
Posting on Reddit, the shopper revealed his purchase of the Big Breakfast option, available for £8.75 between store opening and 11:30am. The meal, which he chose with scrambled eggs, includes fried or poached eggs as alternatives.
Calorie Count and Components
This hearty dish packs a considerable 1,462 calories, featuring three sausages, two rashers of bacon, eggs, sliced mushrooms, black pudding, two hash browns, Heinz Baked Beans, toast, and butter. The original poster noted in the caption that customers can select white bread toast, brown bread toast, or fried bread as part of their meal.
Mixed Reactions from Online Community
Responses to the post varied significantly, with some users reminiscing about previous menu items. "They used to do fried bread which was always a winner for me," commented one Reddit user, to which the original poster clarified that fried bread remains an available option, though he personally prefers other choices.
Many commenters expressed admiration for the meal's appearance and perceived value. "That's probably the best cooked supermarket breakfast I've seen for a while," remarked one individual, while another added, "Best fry up I've seen in a while, and at a decent price too. Those hash browns look just about perfect."
Price Justification and Inflation Considerations
Some users defended the £8.75 price tag, suggesting Morrisons has managed inflation better than competitors. "Whilst obviously a little more expensive than they used to be, they seem to be only passing on the inflation and not taking the micky and just using it as an excuse to add on even more like a lot of places are doing," observed one commenter.
Another Redditor shared their delivery experience: "They’re great for the money. Had one delivered the other day but went for the two fried eggs and added fried bread. Think it was £10.75 on Uber Eats but still good value."
Humorous Responses and Personal Anecdotes
The post also generated humorous replies, with one user quipping, "Get me down to Morrisons tomorrow morning, I'm on an enforced diet but I have a tenner stashed and I'm in significant calorific deficit. Just don't tell the wife!" The original poster jokingly responded, "Morrisons should be paying me commission," highlighting the positive attention his post generated for the supermarket chain.
