Mentioned my birthday fry-up at work. Shouldn’t have. It sparked a full-blown row. Some utterly unhinged opinions were thrown around. For the record, the absolute parameters are as follows:
Do belong on a fry-up:
Bacon
Eggs (fried or scrambled only)
Sausage
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Black pudding
Toast (preferably fried or eggied)
Chips
Do NOT belong on a fry-up:
Beans
Rocket
Peas
Spam
Avocado
Salmon
Spinach
Turkey bacon
Pickled onions
Syrup
Kippers
Streaky bacon
Any sauce that isn’t mustard
Someone said tofu. Ridiculous. No one mentioned hash browns. Might have allowed them, though I prefer chips. Baked beans are a perpetual sore point. Such a widespread issue. At least put them in a fucking ramekin.
Didn’t speak to anyone for the rest of the day.
