An Englishman was writing for the Times today how the English breakfast is an abomination Direct quotes from Giles Coren article for the Times online : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article3758517.ece

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!
