You can certainly get something similar there, but for the real deal you have to go to places where there are strong ex pats communities.

What? American Ketchup is Heinz Tomato Ketchup. Heinz is by far the most common brand here.
"typical breakfast items in america are bacon, eggs, toast, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, waffles, cold cereal, hot cereal, coffee, juice, milk, and a little fruit. "
yeah. not usually all at once though.
I've never seen beans or vegetables offered for breakfast.
I've eaten some British breakfasts here before, sometimes places have specials or have them on their menus regularly. Some of them I've liked more than others, but I think I prefer American breakfast just a bit more.
I don't know what all American's eat for breakfast, but I usually have either cereal and milk, waffles/pancakes with syrup, or eggs with cheese. I just don't have the time to prepare a full breakfast like the one in your picture. I wouldn't mind a nice warm breakfast though! XD
"No, we have Heinz ketchup, it's an American company after all. Brown sauce...I don't know what that is. "
But a different variety of Heinz right? Or is it the same?
Brown sauce is like a spicey-fruit flavoured sauce:

I thought brown was only an option for gravy. I need that sauce for my next D&D/ online game.
We have English muffins - do those count?
[Zola] >From my knowledge jelly is jam to us
There is a technical difference: jam has pieces of the fruit in it, in jelly the fruit pulp is taken out. At least that's the U.S. versions of each. Our jelly aisles have jelly, jam, marmalade, and preserves - the last is to last for future generations, I guess.
>jelly is jam to us, and that mixed with peanuts is just, well horrible sounding!
I don't like peanut butter AND jelly, I like them separate. I don't like the taste or their different consistencies on one sandwhich. I do like eating peanut butter and butter, though.
I've never heard of tomatoes for breakfast, but it doesn't seem that bad of an idea. Beans sound weird. I find hash browns really boring.
Well, us Americans are too lazy to cook so much food so it is very rare when we would have that plate right there. So that's why we usually have bigger quantities of less things because it's easier. Or we'll just have toast or cereal.
"Traditional American Breakfast: Waffles, Fried Chicken, Syrup, Coke"
Ok, ok so let me get this straight beans and mushrooms is weird to you, but it's perfectly fine to eat fried chicken (savoury) with sweet syrup, and a creamy waffle ( which is a dessert), and coke!?
"The place that served me this is only a few blocks from my house. You definitely need to seek out the Full English in the states, though; you can't find it at any old diner. "
"You know how you have stupid questions in your head that never get answered - well I've wondered for YEARS if you guys in America get the Full English Breakfast?
Mmm.
Also, if so is it something recognised country wide or would you have to go to a kinda "specialist" place to get it?
Finally - what is America's like "traditional" cooked breakfast - 'cos I'm thinking it's either waffles or pancakes but I'm not totally sure. Educate me guys! "
AAAAAAH! So this is why 99% of british people are either ugly, have bad teeth or are evil. "

^^ why 99.99999% of americans are obese and a lot of mugs who hate on the country that made them what they are today... besides the war starting obese lot they are. next time you wanna diss brits say it to a cockney boy.
English Breakfast is everywhere in Australia, maybe because we're still apart of the damn commonwealth, one day we shall have Emu Eggs, Kangaroo Sausages and Koala shit for breakfast, one day we shall be a republic!

BUT I wlil say that European kethup is very different from the US's

We've established that Heinz is everywhere now -- but can someone who has tasted Heinz tomato ketchup in both countries clarify a difference in flavour?

Can this thread PLEASE not turn into a superiority complex. I'm just curious in cultural difference not who's fat and who has "bad teeth". The guy that provoked you into say this ^^ was joking so I'm just going to presume you're joking to and hopefully we can ignore both comments and move on.

Huh? The biggest problem with American ketchup is that it's too sweet (the the point where it's taboo to put it on hot dogs in some places, because it takes over the flavor), and Heinz is a popular supermarket brand you can get about anywhere.
The full English breakfast looks absolutely delicious, though. Beans and mushrooms are strictly dinner items here, and you won't see tomatos at breakfast either, but I think they'd be great with breakfast. I don't think we've got a standard, though. I guess we have a bare minimum; you've got to have bacon and eggs, but beyond that any thing goes. Toast, biscuits, sausage, hash browns, whatever you're up for cooking that morning.
Question to UK people: Do you ever eat creamed beef on toast? What about grits?
I oversleep so I barely have breakfast, and if I do it's usually just Cereal unless it's a weekend or summer. But I always liked the thought of this kind of breakfast:
Canada it's pancakes, bacon, sausage, lots and lots of maple syrup, and Eggs (I like Eggs Benedict). I would love me some beans in the mix, that'd be freakin' awesome. Bacon dipped in beans and maple syrup? OMG

Too sweet?
Holy crap. I feel American Ketchup is way too salty. Canadian ketchup is sweeter.

A "traditional" American breakfast is usually pancakes, waffles, eggs & toast, or cereal. Usually with orange juice and/or coffee.
What did you think we eat for breakfast? Oreos and treebark?
