A food blogger served a full English breakfast to her Korean parents to see what they thought of the classic British dish. The parents, who are used to savoury, well-balanced Korean breakfasts, gave their honest reactions to each component.
The father summed up the experience in four words: 'They eat so much.' He enjoyed the black pudding, particularly the chunks of fat, and found the baked beans so good that he remarked, 'British people must eat really well.' The sausages were branded 'delicious' by the mother, while the fried bread stole the show—the father dropped his fork in amazement, and the mother said it was 'bang on' when mixed with egg.
The parents also added a Korean twist by putting kimchi on the plate, which they found cut through the greasiness of the fry-up. The mother described the black pudding as 'interesting' and said she had 'never tasted anything like it before,' likening its appearance to chocolate. The bacon was 'well done' and went down well with both parents.
The full English breakfast originated in early 19th-century England and typically includes eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding, and bread. While it was once a tradition for the gentry and middle classes, it is now a common meal across the country.
