You guys are pussies. But I have to admit that you feel much fuller after a big breakfast than a big roast. I usually always go for a large pork roast, but it seems portions have gotten smaller. There's absolutely no difference in serving size between the small and big roast, the exception being a few slices of meat and a larger crackling. I counted 3 potatoes and 3 cauliflowers on my roast this weekend. Brought it up with the girls by pointing to some small roasts nearby which looked identical to mine (minus maybe 1-2 slices of meat less and a smaller crackling), but they just replied like robots: "oh no! Yours much bigger!". The plate is bigger, but are the portions really much bigger? I feel as if they're smaller than usual, or maybe the cook just went cheap on mine. I understand meat is what costs extra, but when I get a big roast, I expect more of everything: greens (which cost peanuts), potatoes (same deal), cauliflower etc. Food was as good as usual, just seemed like the amount of sides were identical as a small roast. Maybe that's actually how they're done and I've simply never noticed. I don't mind the extra meat, but I'd be willing to only get one extra slice of meat in exchange for a heartier serving of sides. Maybe that's just me...
Now back to breakfasts for a sidenote: do pommies actually eat fried bread?! That stuff is positively disgusting (and I suspect is what makes everyone walk slowly after their breakfast). The first two bites I had were great. "Damnnnnn, that's good" I thought to myself. But after finishing a full slice of the stuff, my body quickly told me that eating deepfried bread isn't on its list of "healthy fuels". So fucking greasy... Felt queasy and seemed like all my skin's pores were being clogged up by it. It's like eating french toast, but soaked in vegetable oil... What English cook thought that up?! Weirdest culinary invention ever along with the Scot's fried Mars bars. I now obviously ask for just plain toast with my breakfasts. But is fried bread actually common in households and breakfast menus in the UK?
