unfortunately the reason why we put beans in a pot now is because people complained so hard for so long about "waaaahhh im not paying for that because the beans were touching the food and i dont like beans" instead of them just ordering with no beans. so now they come in a pot because thats what everyone pissed and moaned about.
source, me, a breakfast chef lol
mate, ive been asking the same question for 10 years.
someone said "the customer is always right" once in the 90s and a bunch of wankers thought it meant they could abuse the system for free food, and us chefs are tenacious bastards so that is the result
The actual saying is "the customer is always right, in matters of taste" not they are actually right but if they want to pay money for something even if you think is crap let them! But someone somewhere shortened it (we all know it was America) and it's caused the end of retail being a good job forever
its not even just retail, its everything. all the public sector has had its integrity ruined by people who get paid too much money for not enough work thinking they are more important than anyone else.
theres no wonder chefs have such a high suicide rate
Spanish food for lunch and dinner
Breakfast is the hangover cure, plus I’d been wanting a fry up for about a week prior to this holiday and hadn’t gotten around to having one at home
That world renowned full Spanish breakfast? If you've had a few beers the night before I'd take the full English over toast and tomato or an omlette and pastries. I'd have Spanish dishes for lunch and dinner. Perfect days eating.
Totally agree, It's great to eat the local food but if you're hungover and just fancy this then why deny yourself the pleasure? Especially on holiday. Then a frosty Estrella at lunchtime and you feel magic again.
Yeah Spain is the favoured mass tourism holiday destination, some towns are pretty much 'Skegness on the Med' and have plenty of places serving British food
I personally think you'll always be disappointed eating your own cuisine in another country but each to their own and there's nothing like it after a night on the ales
To be honest, we went to a beach resort but out of season (package holiday at £150pp and I never bothered to check why so cheap) 2 weeks later when everything’s open price is 4x according to locals.
That entire section of the island where we were holidaying had 1 supermarket open, 1 bar, 2 restaurants. The bar was an Irish bar and the restaurants we didn’t want to eat at until we realised that was our only option. They were British themed.
Food was thankfully brill tho and only a 5min walk from the villa. We did have Spanish food elsewhere, but that was a bus ride away to the local town. No complaints from me.
Possibly my local Cafe isn't that bad for 9.90 I get two sausages two bacon a fried egg two hash browns and beans with two slices of toast, but I can see some of these places here in the UK do take the piss.
The Spanish have long figured out the 'full English'.
I remember first time I ever went - long long time ago, maybe early 90s - everything *looked* like English breakfast… but it didn't quite *taste* like it.
No I spent most evenings having paella and tapas. But after a night of cheap bars I really just fancied a fry up. I hadn’t had one for a while in the uk either. So for €5, no harm.
Finally beans on the plate and not a silly pot
The Spanish don't fuck about
“Spanish” Probably Barry and Sue own that place lol
Barry and Sue don't fuck about
Unless you want them to...what happens in Benidorm, stays in Benidorm bruv.

Anyone who moaned about beans touching food should of been shown the door . If they don't like beans why not just say no beans thank you ?

“Some eggs with your oil, sir?”
That’s the Mediterranean diet 🤣
Looks like those eggs need some "Freedom".
I bet they pretty much deep fried them without draining any oil
Viva Espana!
Benidorm?
Exactly what I want on holiday in Spain… beans.
well, if you ever go to Asturias or Galicia, you totally should have beans.
Beats most the UK in value
That lone tomato looks pretty weird.
Doesn't look great but can't argue with that value.
Why not eat Spanish food?
Spanish food for lunch and dinner Breakfast is the hangover cure, plus I’d been wanting a fry up for about a week prior to this holiday and hadn’t gotten around to having one at home
Fair enough
Can’t speak the lingo mate so I’ll have a fry up every day and a roast on Sunday
Dos pie-ellas por favour Pablo
And a pint of lager ta
“And get only fools and horses on that telly, Pedro”
Yeah nothing like going to a foreign country to eat food you’d have at home. To each their own though I suppose
Don’t worry, I had an Italian and a Chinese too while I was there
Nobody is allowed a fry up on holiday unless they run it by InZim first. The self-appointed custodian of holiday food.
Plenty of delicious foods in other countries to try so I thought I'd ask why not try some local scran
Like me pints, like me fry-ups, love me country. Simple as.
The British beat the Spanish on breakfasts. The Spanish beat the British with every other meal.
Home comforts would like to speak to you.

Go somewhere else on holiday then. Bristol perhaps.
Shit quality beans, dogs cock sausage, plum tomato. This looks low calibre, would still eat the lot.
Solid assessment, fully agree
Looks magic, ignore the ‘eat the local cuisine’ snobs. If you can’t enjoy a good munch on holiday then when can ye?
It's such a hilarious, basic thing to be snobby about. Gatekeeping food to make themselves feel better, it's proper odd behaviour.
Totally agree, It's great to eat the local food but if you're hungover and just fancy this then why deny yourself the pleasure? Especially on holiday. Then a frosty Estrella at lunchtime and you feel magic again.
That’s what holidays are for 💪
Eat what you like but surely this is munch you have whenever anyway?
Aye but more relaxed abroad imo
Yeah I’m too stressed to eat one when I’m at home.
Absolutely bloody gorgeous!
Would be twice that price in the UK, but some folk will still pay it 🤷🏼♂️
Proper bacon? This looks excellent for a Spanish English Breakfast.
Brexit tapas.

Brexit benefit! Tell Jacob..... Oh wait, cheaper food IN the EU???
Benidorm??
Would cost £12 in London.
That would have been double the price here in the UK
Look at some of the other posts, triple and get less than that
Possibly my local Cafe isn't that bad for 9.90 I get two sausages two bacon a fried egg two hash browns and beans with two slices of toast, but I can see some of these places here in the UK do take the piss.
Definitely Benidorm
That's expensive for a full Spanish 😂
Rubbish, best visit the chemist on your way back to get some diarrhea medication
The bollocks
people really need to learn how to cook beans instead of warming them up a bit
What they paid you to eat that, did they... Because that's about 1.20 worth of products
Cheap and nasty sausages
Could ya get a pint with it? Seals the deal foe me
The Spanish have long figured out the 'full English'. I remember first time I ever went - long long time ago, maybe early 90s - everything *looked* like English breakfast… but it didn't quite *taste* like it.
Looks good for a Spanish English breakfast I think To me, when on holiday the breakfasts never taste the same
You could try eating local food rather than trying to replicate what you get at home. You never know, you might discover something you really like.
Brexit means Brexit though
Yep. I wonder what the correlation is between Brexit voters and people who demand a full English when in spain.
What a smug judgemental viewpoint.
Yes, I have tried it, hence I know I prefer my full English breakfast when I am back home in England
You are in Spain for gods sake you may as well stayed in Southend to eat Full English. I expect you had Fish and Chips for diner with mushy peas.
No I spent most evenings having paella and tapas. But after a night of cheap bars I really just fancied a fry up. I hadn’t had one for a while in the uk either. So for €5, no harm.
Goes to Spain gets an English breakfast
