A Full English with croutons. Classy.

Exactly, this has been around for centuries, but wait until my Washington Post article on how I make coffee with both water and - wait for it....... - milk!!

“I mean, come on, spinach should be right up there with the rest of them! Popeye would be so heartbroken right now.”

Pretty sure that’s fried bread, not toast, and it’s part of an English breakfast. I only did it once, decided to go back to toast. It’s a bit much with the bacon, banger, egg and beans as well.
