The only thing worse than a barbecued full English? Arguing about it

Kebab meat? Forget the full English, the future English sounds delicious. Although the point is a strange one: if they’d had kebab meat in the country house days, it probably would have made it in. After all, they put in everything else, from pheasant to pickled herring. Nothing from the EBS — those last two letters increasingly seeming particularly apt — on baked beans, though these only made plates after a run of telly ads in the 1960s. Bule de Missenden is set to target them soon, if his appearance on Seán Moncrieff’s radio show is to be believed. He hasn’t commented on the news this year that 11 per cent of Brits put gravy on their fry up, either, which seems an easy target to miss.
