World’s largest English Breakfast
From Serious Eats…
Mario’s Cafe Bar in Westhoughton, UK, serves the biggest full English breakfast in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The Ultimate Breakfast costs £10.95 ($18.05) and consists of 10 eggs, 10 sausages, 10 rashers of bacon, 10 slices of toast, five black pudding slices, tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans for a total of about 5,000 calories.
When this was first posted about several years ago, no one had finished the breakfast on their own in one sitting… Let’s hope that’s still true.

Similarly appetizing: Biggest breakfast ever — Over 5 pounds of pancake, eggs, meat, and milk

For those of you that don’t know, black pudding is blood sausages with oatmeal and a few spices. The rashers are probably the best tasting thing in this “meal”
No bacon.
No bacon? There’s an enormous pile of bacon. If you’re from the USA, you might have been thrown by its being back bacon.
Or simply by being a bit stupid…
It says in the description that there is bacon.
Ulster Fry is a better variation of a full English breakfast. Doesn’t have the black pudding but instead has potato bread and soda bread.
Looks both wonderful and sickening at the same time
This is disgusting and disgraceful.
Hmmm, I reckon if you were to swap out the black pudding for multiple hash browns, this would be perfect. There is also the potential problem of parts of it going cold halfway through :/ but other than that…
Being from the States I’m not familiar with Black Pudding….can someone enlighten me as to what exactly it is?
Black pudding, blood pudding or blood sausage is a type of sausage made by cooking blood or dried blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. The dish exists in various cultures from Asia to Europe. Pig, cattle, sheep, duck and goat blood can be used depending on different countries.
This would feed a whole chess club, half a rowing crew, or two men from a rugby team.
2nds please……I need to hold back for dessert.
Wow. Surprisingly inexpensive.
Not the heart attack!
Haha, yeah, especially seems as for a little more i can get two really dodgy pizzas :/ shame…
Paltry amount of mushrooms though.
I eat there everyday and i have only ever ate 6 of everything 10 , well 12 as it is now is rediculous has to be eated under 20 minuets and without a drink. Its a joke. The quality of the food isnt good by the way
Now that is what I call breakfast!
Such a superfluous bounty of meat and protein would normally make my heart pound and – inevitably – ache, but I’m not completely certain that I want anything to do with this. Those tomatoes and mushrooms are a huge turnoff.
I’m getting queasy just looking at it.
I cannot imagine eating beans for breakfast.
Is that the Skip’s Scramble?
That is a breakfast for someone who hasn’t eaten all day and has been working their butt off doing hard labor. I don’t see how any normal person can eat all that unless they are an extreme heavy weight!
