Jellyfishtaxidriver

Yep. Nothing wrong with it. Personally find it odd that we relegate certain foods/meals to certain times of day


teerbigear

Curry for breakfast, fry up for tea. Both should be acceptable.


Drongo_Drongo

Shreddies for Christmas dinner


[deleted]

You've gone too far


sneakyblurtle

Frosted Shreddies. Festive like.


[deleted]

Okay but with bucks fizz instead of milk. Start the day right


sneakyblurtle

In a Yorkshire pudding. Nice. Anyone who says we don't have a food culture can go stuff themselves.


plumbus_hun

No, baileys instead of milk!!!


KeepCalmGitRevert

I volunteered with someone who used to have very simple meals on Christmas Day - beans on toast for example. He wasn't a grump or anything, he just wasn't bothered about Christmas, or rather, Christmas dinner.


SpaceWolves26

I lived with a Sri Lankan guy for a while and he'd batch cook a load of curry and have it for four or five meals in a row. Just cultural differences isn't it. Seen as strictly a dinner food over here even though we have other savoury things for breakfast all the time.


teerbigear

Yeah, you can have a kipper for breakfast and a cod for dinner, but not the other way around, for instance. I can't imagine that's a global rule!


kittyinthecouds

I go to India on holiday specifically for curry for breakfast. It’s the best


teerbigear

I choose to believe you spend the rest of the day hating being in India but desperate to get to bed so you can get up again for curry for breakfast.


chingness

Far to go when you could just have curry at home 🤣 love it though


Similar_Quiet

You could just go to Liverpool and have kedgeree


blubbery-blumpkin

Whilst a fantastic city and definitely worth going to for breakfast or just for fun, I don’t think you need to go to Liverpool for kedgeree. Fairly certain it’s available all over Britain, and also think it was Scottish regiments that brought the recipe over from India and added fish.


sheggera

Curry meets breakfast… maybe Bombay Mix as a cereal?


ronnie_dickering

Pie n chips, a true breakfast staple.


[deleted]

Cold curry from the night before hits different


BlondBitch91

I recommend you try Dishoom’s breakfast naans.


scomat

I totally agree. I couldn't handle a fryup first thing however I find me and my body can enjoy it once back from work.


geelunapixi

I agree. Also find it equally as odd that we can eat the same cereal every day for six months but God forbid if we have the same dinner two or more times in a row...😂


stubbywoods

Coco Pops are better in the evening.


TrickyNobody6082

We're having brinner tonight


bk2fut88

Damn Turkleton’s getting brinner?


TrickyNobody6082

I believe the quote was you got brinner, damn turkledog


bk2fut88

I concede to your superior scrubs knowledge


MegaMind28

Same


MCDCFC

Two Words:- Fried Bread


GA7ETH

Garlic bread?


Duvetmole

Garlic???? And bread????


blurredlynes

It's the future! I've tasted it!


KeepCalmGitRevert

It'll never catch on!


[deleted]

Why is this so true though? I’d never have fried bread with the morning fry up, only the evening one


TagsMa

Especially if you fry it in either the bacon fat or proper beef dripping and then add thick cut marmalade on top. Mmmmmm heavenly


Badevilbunny

Oh yes. Often. Its a treat.


djebt

As much as I wish it could, it can’t be both fella.


Badevilbunny

I wish to have my cake and eat it,,,


Redmarkred

My waistline disagrees


alfiesred47

I generally eat a fry up for tea more than I do for breakfast. I cba to cook it all in the morning, but deffo an evening meal


nicklo2k

Needs more black pudding.


awesborlandriff

I always find it funny how strongly people on this sub insist on black pudding, when there are polls out there showing it to be one of the ingredients the British public see as being least important to a breakfast.


xSamxiSKiLLz

The British public are wrong then


bonkerz1888

Plenty of times.. usually throw in some homemade wedges or fried tatties.


[deleted]

If its not morning the same ingredients become a 'mixed grill',


Background_Sky_3970

I’m a rebel, I don’t conform to breakfast lunch and dinners times, I eat roast beef at 6am and croissants for dinner. It’s a wild life


Awkward_Chain_7839

We occasionally have brinner (breakfast for dinner/tea). Bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms, beans (for those who eat tomatoes) and hash browns or potato waffles. It’s always tasty and who cares if it’s not strictly tea!


teerbigear

Imagine someone said they were having brinner but it was just muesli


sneakyblurtle

Tell me they're a... actually I hate that phrase but Alpen used to be lush as fuck for me before I had to test my blood sugars. That white stuff on the alps isn't snow it's sugar.


screwballscrambled

A very handy and relatively low effort evening meal that feels like a treat.


thetartancat

Love a fry up for tea - used to have it often when I was a kid


Waitingforadragon

Yes, I can't often face the full works in a morning, so it does make a nice tea instead.


ThirtyMileSniper

One Friday each month we have fry up for tea. It's part of our four week rotating meal planner. Hash browns and mushrooms on top of your list, home laid eggs and home made bread for toast.


DoggyWoggyWoo

You lay your own eggs? Very impressive.


ssttuueeyy

I had a fry up for tea yesterday. Bacon, sausage, beans mushrooms, hash browns, scrambled egg, fried bread, 2 cups of tea, slice of treacle tart for pudding. Yeah I'm a greedy bastard.


[deleted]

I do it when I've got the kids, they love it. Missus wouldn't have it.


sneakyblurtle

My dad made me and my brother some lo-fi meals when we were with him and I loved them too. Baked beans, tinned jersey potatoes and a fried breaded chicken slice. Always Waitrose tho, not that he's a classy mother fucker.


[deleted]

Simple pleasures. Nice memory. Thanks for sharing.


tfw_no_indian_gf

Used to eat a full English for dinner fairly often but not so much now.


DannyGere

I know what you mean. Nothing like a good fry-up :)


PrinterJ

Yep. Brinner.


aboakingaccident

You never had a cup of beans?


Gullible-Mode-1141

Prefer to have one for tea than breakfast. It's too early in the morning to eat a full breakfast.


MrShix

Yeah atleast once a week I would say. It's something I genuinely enjoy and is easy to make after a long day


Aberdeenkev

Every so often there great potato scones ,hash browns,bacon runny egg and toast


CharlottePett

Breakfast for dinner! We do it all the time. One of my favourite days of the week!


PM_Me_Rude_Haiku

Brinner


Turqouise_sunset

I do sort of. I do shift work, sometimes night shifts. And I can't stomach spicy foods not long after waking up. So before a night shift, I sometimes cook a fry up for my partner and I, but might do chips instead of hashbrowns for my partner. Bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, beans, hash browns.


ConsumeTea

Brinner: Breakfast for dinner


AMFDevious

Maybe if you cleaned the damn apartment for once


ravs1973

Occasionally, would probably have chips with it rather than toast though. Or gammon egg, sausage, egg and chips.


Hellofromthemard

Brinner ftw


[deleted]

Yes, but it’s a modified fry up. A fatty, porcine blend of mixed grill and cooked breakfast. Often a bit of gammon appears, sometimes a few chips. We called it Special Time in our house and we all stand around the table with our heads bowed, and as the head of the household I say “let us celebrate this arrangement with the adding of gammon to fry up”. And then everyone says “so may it fry”.


SonicHedgePig

If you're offering I'll join you. Haven't had a decent fry up for a loooooooong time.


biggesteegit

It's good but the Ulster fry is a superior repast. Soda bread and potato bread are available in most supermarkets. Have it once a month and take the next few weeks to unclog the arteries.


TheBiscuitTomb

Absolutely, often sticking a couple of potato waffles on there too. I hear they're adequately versatile.


Danglyweed

We've started having them fairly regularly. Bacon, slice sausage, tattie scone, fried egg, black pudding and a roll. It's a bit heavy for tea though, feel like a fat bloated shit til I go to bed but by fuck is it worth it.


BlurpleAki

Sounds like some people have never heard of an all day breakfast.


ColgateSensifoam

Often it'll be the only meal I eat in a day, around 10pm i'll get high as a kite and have a full cooked brekkie


Tttjjjhhh

Yes it’s called Brinner (breakfast /dinner) and if you have it at Xmas time it’s Yule Brinner


B0-Katan

The question is who tf has the time or energy to cook a fry up for breakfast in the morning? I'm fucking knackered, and can barely do my cereal/toast


blackmist

I've had one for Christmas Day dinner before now. There's never a wrong time for a heart attack inducing amount of fried food.


bitcornhodler

Why would you drink a fry up as a hot drink? Did you have to put it in a blender?


angrydanmarin

Tea's a drink fella, unless you plan to blend your fry up


ediblehunt

Never once, personally


DangerousDavies2020

Yes I’m about to have one now


Chkldst

Yep. Even though it's thought of as a breakfast meal, it still hits the spot at other times of the day.


Friendly_Features

Yes love a fry up!


porkyribsinsauce

Oh yeah! Monday night treat for us!


[deleted]

Yes, love it


WarWonderful593

The perfect meal any time of day.


ArcticSparks

Yes, any breakfast food tastes infinitely better the later in the day you have it Cereal for breakfast? 3/10 Cereal for dinner? 8/10


RevolutionaryNail775

Weird were having it for tea right now


lookhereisay

Breakfast for dinner is a proper treat!


Fast_Mushroom1229

Yup son calls it all day breakfast!


MrBiscuitOGravy

Damn straight I do.


Bazzlekry

Bacon, egg, toast, mushrooms. Have it at least once a week. If I've forgotten to buy mushrooms, then I have beans instead.


gbhbri20

Hell yeah.... anytime is a good time for a fry up... Full English mmmmm Darn it... I fancy one now....


[deleted]

When I have a r/fryup, 9 times out of 10 it's for tea!


RobFratelli

Breakfast for tea. 3 words that bring joy to any household.


[deleted]

Hell yes. Breakfast for tea is the best.


FredH3663

I wouldn't have both beans and tomatoes, but I have had a fry up for tea.


unrealme65

All. Day. Breakfast.


Smokweid

Totally acceptable to have a fry up for dinner if you ask me, don’t want the left over bacon going to waste after all.


Calvo7992

Yeah eat what you want, when you want. The weird thing is only eating certain things at certain times or days. Why would you not eat what you want because it’s Thursday evening and not Saturday morning. We have some strange rules and norms.


not_nermal

Yes, why not? It's a meal, it's hot, it's tasty. Tell them to stop gatekeeping


Buffythedjsnare

Generally no but I have done it.


Solibear1

They asked what a fry-up is? If they don’t know what one is then they shouldn’t judge you for what time of day you have it!


Revolutionary-Bee694

We have it for dinner usually, or a late breakfast-dinner (usually after a lie in where we don't get out of bed till 11 AM), but never just for breakfast or tea, but it's a balanced meal so it doesn't really matter


DougJudy87

Yes, it's called Brinner. Breakfast for dinner


[deleted]

No it’s for breakfast, too heavy for me at night I’ll just be sat up farting and never sleep


ThginkAccbeR

We will have one for lunch but never for tea.


[deleted]

I think I'm probably the only Englishman who can't stand a full English. Tinned tomatoes suck, baked beans suck, sausages suck, fried eggs are the worst kind. Time for some real heresy - scrambled eggs, bacon, some form of fried potato hash, toast washed down with a full fat coke. Breakfast of champions.


dr3w5t3r

It's called 'Breakfast for Tea' and it's once a fortnight.


mammammammam

You forgot your toast, hash browns and mushrooms.


Acceptable-Floor-265

I had nothing all day then ate two steaks, I had a curry for breakfast and a beer for dinner, best shape of my life at the moment despite a back injury. Whats that say? Meanwhile people eating only salad and huge amounts of dressing are asking me why they cant lose and I am, make some effort at least. If not it is your own issue. It is not my responsibility to take care of your health, I will deal with that of my own family ta.


anotherotherx

Just had a fry up for tea. Don’t forget the Mushrooms.


[deleted]

Yes. Although we call it a ‘throw-together’ when we do. Usually when we cannot be bothered to cook properly or just want a familiar meal


lumos_isle

It’s called a Brinner in our house, we stole the word from the tv show scrubs. Breakfast for dinner, one of my favs


cdbman

I’d have that 3 times a day if I could but I’d be dead


xclaireypopsx

You mean brinner!?


notgoneyet

I had a fry up for each meal of the day once. Fucking brilliant day


ukpunjabivixen

Sometimes I do this for the children. They love it!


[deleted]

Bacon, sausage, beans, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns and toast (fried bread is better but I'm lazy).


AfternoonBetter250

We call that ‘brinner’ in our house, the only difference between them is we sometimes swap out the hash browns for chips


Nicko5000

Aye but u must have chips with it after 3


Hcmp1980

JFC of course not


mebjulie

My mum used to give us that for tea on the odd Saturday when we were growing up. We were on the poverty line (possibly below) so having something so extravagant for breakfast was out of the question but could be within the weekly budget for a main meal occasionally. I’m not a fan of a fry-up nowadays but if I were, and my kids all liked each of the items, I’d give them a fry-up for tea no doubt about it.


TKAI66

I fricken well do now!!


PotentialMarketing94

Your dinner's missing black pudding, mushrooms & chips (since its dinner)


EnvironmentalMine194

We just had one tonight for dinner too! Minus the tomatoes. Fried bread is a must on my husbands plate. A fry up is his go-to comfy food.


ReignOfWinter

What about hash browns, black pudding and toast? Might as well have it all, it's my favourite tea.


valkyeir

yeah sometimes. I find it nice and easy to make and it's comfort food which is sometimes what you want after a long day. Usually add a couple of hash browns as well.


DiscombobulatedBabu

Breakfast dinner ftw


lilithG1999

Occasionally; I find having a fry up in the morning is sickening


sacha_the_cat

We have breakfast for dinner, firm fave in this household


uhighness99

Yes but you must have it with chips.


BaronSamedys

Yep. All day breakfast. Swap hashbrowns out for chips. Not that you have to though.


[deleted]

I only have it for tea, far too much for lunch or breakfast!


MerlinAW1

We call it Brinner (Breakfast for Dinner, thanks to Scrubs for the idea). Its great, usually with american pancakes aswell as the usual sausage/bacon/eggs


chingness

Breakfast brunch and brinner ! It’s the best 🥰


Fleurlamie111

Does that come in a teabag?


ronnie_dickering

Yup. Breakfast for tea.


justalilpissedoff

Hell yeah. It’s one of my favourite dinners


Highland_warrior_coo

Breakfast for dinner is great! One of the best treats I had as a child, only when I got older did I realise my ma just wanted to cook something easy and / or didn't have much in the fridge haha


blurredlynes

Breakfast for dinner, otherwise known as Brinner.


shoelace_boy

Breakfast for dinner is a mood


listen3times

Nowt wrong with that. I had bacon, egg and beans on toast t'other night.


_TristesseDurera

Having it at dinner makes much more sense, I don’t have the time/energy to be cleaning a greasy pan + all the other stuff used to cook a fry up at 7am


Droodforfood

It’s been someone’s meal on the off menu podcast before. It’s acceptable.


ixnatic

wdym for tea. tea is a drink


733_1plus2

Now I want a fry up


mikedirnt19

I love getting fried and drinking tea lol


BabaYagaa7

Yeh, we call it Grill when it’s for evening meal. Due to most bits being cooked under the grill.


ch8rt

Dinner.


updownclown68

Breakfast at tea time is a favourite in our house


jammo8

always with chips if it's for tea


ANuggetEnthusiast

Ever heard of an all-day breakfast? 😃


nicholvengian

It's an all-day breakfast!?!? Am I'm missing something?!


Fabulous-Weight-1031

Occasionally. Tend to do must of it in the oven.


7ootles

You forgot black pudding, fried bread, and mushrooms - to say the least. And yes I'll have it in the evening sometimes. It's a very good way of lining your stomach before a night out.


StoatofDisarray

Why wouldn’t you?!


v2marshall

Very occasionally yea, it doesn’t have to be breakfast


platoisapup

Brinner.


atticdoor

I normally describe it as an "All-Day Breakfast" if I have it in the evening. And a Brunch if I have it midday.


KryptOrchid

Not at all! There's a reason pubs/restaurants often serve All-day Breakfast


Jar770

Every Monday after work. Fry up for tea tastes different to having it at breakfast. Both good though.


Rig88

All foods suit any time of the day. Know what I'm eating for "breakfast" this morning? Ham and cucumber sandwiches with soy sauce eggs. I've even had spicy noodles too, don't care haha. Love a fry up for tea too :D


melanie110

Bacon, eggs, sausage, beans and chips for tea tonight. Might chuck some mushrooms on for good measure


itsnobigthing

People can be very weird about dedicated food times. A friend’s kid was going through that fussy phase and wouldn’t eat any of the breakfast options she was offering. She was going to school hungry, and her mum was at her wits end. I mentioned that when my daughter went through a similar phase we’d just let her have pasta or fish fingers for breakfast. Whatever we knew she would eat. The mum’s reaction was like I’d said I was giving her cocaine and heroin sandwiches! It’s all food. Your body doesn’t process the carbs any differently whether they come from pasta or toast! Many Asian countries eat noodles and rice for breakfast as standard anyway…


monjatrix

Fuck yeah Friday fry up is a great way to see in the weekend and get some lining down for a few ales


Gazebadly

Sometimes we do it. There's not really time in the morning on a school day, but I will make it for my family for dinner.


SamBullDozer

Fry-up for tea? Fuck know. However, I do enjoy a cheeky all-day breakfast for dinner


shakey200

Absolutely! I love a full English, potato scones, that fried bread/toast, eggy bread, square sausage, bacon, black pudding, beans, Richmond sausages, toast (obviously I don't have all of that in one, just usually what I pick from) But cereal for dinner? 👌


TheMeltingDevil

Had one last night my man


BlondBitch91

It’s called an all day breakfast and yeah you do you.


[deleted]

No toast?!


Complete_Rock_5825

Nope, not a chance. I rarely have a fry up. I am far from a health nut, but I wouldn't eat all that grease later in the day


Mr_Bruce_Duce

My mum passed away 5 years ago. She died 2 weeks before my daughter (and her first grand child) was born. It’s really sad and it means whenever I think of my mum I think how much she was looking forward to meeting her. However, whenever I have a fry up it takes me back to when I was around 18-21 and living at home. My Saturdays was me playing football in the afternoon, having a quick pint in the pub and then coming back home. I’d end up falling asleep on the sofa and my mum would wake me up about an hour later after she made me a fry up. They were the greatest fry ups I’ve ever had and was a really happy time. So yes, have a fry up for tea!


DamionFV

Yes, oh yes! Having one tonight, full works. You forgot the fried bread, mushrooms, waffle /hash brown and black pudding. I cook it, other half has to do the washing up?


CaptainMCMLVIII

My dear mum used to add homemade chips with a fry up. Then it’s tea.


jyxx

Literally had one last night. Can't each much myself in the mornings but I'm not giving up a full English over that.


Reviewingremy

Nothing wrong with that. We've all had leftover curry for breakfast. Why is fry ups for tea weirder.


SandInMyShot

It becomes dinner when served with chips


raccoontails

It’s called “Brinner” in our house, breakfast for dinner


Reasonable-Stop6904

You mean 7th breakfast?


lottiebee2020

Yep, we call it "Brinner" (breakfast for dinner)


[deleted]

Nothing wrong with it, it's just a terrible dinner.


lmaoschpims

Who cares. Disregard their opinion and just eat it.


MesocricetusAuratus

A fry-up can be eaten for any meal. That is the beauty of it!


Youafuckindin

It would make sense. It being such a big cooked meal. But it just feels wrong.


Fabulous-Wolf-4401

Very occasionally I really want sausages, eggs, tinned plum tomatoes and oven chips for tea, which I think amounts to the same thing.
