Exclusive! Full English Breakfast in Milan, Italy!
Yes, it’s finally here! As you can see from the (not wonderful) camera phone shot I took this very evening, the full English breakfast down at the 442 pub here in wet old Milan is about to go live!
Tomorrow, from midday on, this scrumptious brekkie will be ready to be ordered and eaten. And you can pick up a plate of these goodies from noon until two in the morning on both Saturday, tomorrow and Sunday. This probably means that this will be the longest English style breakfast ever! And I will be down there with my wee one, and we shall be tucking in.
Tonight’s trial run was tried and tasted by Chris, all round good bloke, and English 442 regular. His verdict: ‘It’s the best full English breakfast I’ve had outside the UK!‘ – High praise indeed and I agreed with him. Wonderful!
Finally an ex-pat can find a decent breakfast that is a wee bit more substantial, and enticing, than the cappuccino and cake that is the usual offering here. Cholesterol overload, here I come.
The cost of this extravaganza? A mere 10 Euros, and this special offer price, includes coffee, tea, and toast. After Xmas you will still get the same, but the price will be 12 Euros. Still not an exaggeration when you consider that brunches in Milan can cost from 16 Euros up.
And you can blame me for the sausages. Check them out, I don’t think you will regret it.
Be there, or be hungry!
Here’s to the 442 and extended British Breakfast euphoria!
My english bloke introduced me to this breakfast. It’s very good but sooooo filling! Everytime he asks if I want him to make breakfast I say yes yes, but a quarter of the way in I say oh no! I can never finish it! We did have a problem at first finding the right sausage, but persistance prevailed! We have talked our butcher into carring them. Your photo looks great btw!
Hi Maryann,
Generally, I would agree with you, a full English breakfast can be very filling, but oddly enough, the breakfast served by the 442 satisfying rather than filling. I had two last weekend, and they went down very well, in every sense!
And, yes, the right sausages make a lot of difference! Well done for getting your butcher to stock them!
All the best,
Alex
I am a regular and love English breakfast but I really think Alessandro should use real mushrooms and not canned vinegary ones…but I will still be hanging on (falling off) the bar on a regular basis!
