I swear the proprietor of our countryside inn did this on purpose.

I had poached eggs in a restaurant in Dublin that looked very much like scrotum -- the cook stretched and pinched together some of the white to form a little ballsack. It was clearly done on purpose.

You’ve never poached an egg yourself if you think this.

Traveling in UK we want a Full English Breakfast some mornings, some not. Too much food for everyday and it takes too long.

That’s back bacon, love. No need to put it in quotation marks like it’s not a real thing.

Yes, misogynistic breakfast cooks in the UK are looking to sexually harass female American travelers with phallic breakfasts! Sound the alarms!

When we did a week in Paris, our hotel had a self-serve breakfast that was mostly awful.

EXCEPT they served freshly baked baguettes and the most amazing cheeses. That was my take-away breakfast every morning.

When I studied in France my landlady gave me pound cake for breakfast every morning.

At hotels in France I've often had the "continental" -- with croissants / pain au chocolat, baguettes and other breads, cheeses, deli meats, hard boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, cereal.

I love a good full English breakfast, but only ever serve it for dinner. I stock up on bangers when Costco clearances them out after St Patricks day, and the supply will generally last me six months or so.

Breakfast for me is invariably yogurt on cornflakes.
