Full English Breakfast

We have been watching BBC videos on youtube.
After watching the "Breakfast" part of "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner,"  we both had tongues out for that beautiful "bacon".  It's not at all what we think of as bacon, with the fat stripes.  Now, how to get some.  We have no access to many "foreign" foods, so it's online for us.
We found the R. J. Balson & Son website.  http://www.balsonbutchers.com/

They process in the US and ship in a styrofoam cooler with dryice.
They shipped on Monday and we received it on Wednesday.

Lovely.

It is fully cooked, so it can be just warmed or crisped, at your pleasure.
It's still winter, so there are no real tomatoes.
We tried stewed tomatoes - won't make that mistake again!
And D has decided we need more "Cherokee Purple" tomatoes beyond the three already started.
I think there'll be more seed starting tonight.

So our attempt at "Full English Breakfast" included "Bush's Beans", stewed tomatoes, two eggs freshly laid today, and tea.  I think cider would have been good with it, too.
 
Since it is most economical to order six pounds of meat,
we also ordered "bangers" (sausage).
On the weekend, we'll try "Bangers and Mash"
or
"Toad in a Hole"
