Ferraris breakfast caf

Ferrari's breakfast tea

What no breakfast photos? No I don’t want to spoil the surprise. This is one you just have to try. Good old meet market back to basics badly cooked, poor ingredients but loving caring breakfast you want to have – you know who you are.

Bada Bing! cafe

Bada Bing! Located off Clarkenwell road, Bada-bing! is an nice little cafe.

The breakfast is served in humongous portions so if out of principle you feel obliged to clean your plate bada-bing is not for the light-hearted.

Price, at just under £4 for a breakfast (item 4) comprised of 1 Egg, 3 strips of bacon, a lot of baked beans, a lot of chips (waitress forgot to substitute with hash-browns), a portion of mushrooms and a lot of bubble and squeak which was lovely actually.

Good value for money to be sure, but the quantity can be overwhelming for some.

PS: I was browsing articles on clean your plate mentality and found the following interesting points of view.

• Clean your plate or don’t leave the table (Mirror UK)
• Encouraging kids to finish their plate can lead to obesity (Telegraph UK)
• International dining etiquette (BBC)

Hash-browns are dismissed as “ghastly manifestations of American imperialism”

“A good English breakfast never lets you down.” No, it kills you.

What the hell event do they have in mind, the 3,000m casualty dash? The Triple Barf (also called the hop, skip and vomit)? The Synchronised Massive Coronary?

You never see a person with a degree eating a fry-up, do you?

Clearly the English breakfast is not only the cornerstone of British diet and the proudest culinery delight of Britain, but also helps Britain keep calm and carry on, unlike that very unfortunate Giles Coren character who was writing this angry article over her oat serial with 0% fat yogurt.

Giles, you may be right to advocate health, but a bit of advice for your heart: Don’t stress so much about the little things – have a breakfast you enjoy in moderation – keep calm – and carry on!

Also I was wondering – it is ok to steam a late in a plastic container? Oh well… here it is:

The breakfast club met today at PJ’s Cantina. Seems like this place is getting better and better since they re-opened 6 months ago. Excellent fast service, great breakfast, and all for £4.50 including coffee or tea!
