Is there anything better than a proper English fry up?

Question

I come over to England every year for 5 weeks, and it's mainly for the beer and the fry ups.

Three fried eggs sunny side up, fried bread, sausages with pain-inducing mustard, proper streaky and smoky bacon (not the terrible mockery of bacon my country produces!), mushrooms, black pudding, toast, fried tomatoes drowned in butter... to be followed by a stroll to the nearest decent pub and washed down with 7 or 8 pints of Black Sheep. **** it, I just made myself hungry.

Never **** with the formula, though. I hate it when some **** tries to get all fancy and serve salmon-roe nestled atop poached eggs in a cucumber sauce... **** it, a fry up is a fry up is a fry up. It's not pretty, but it's not supposed to be.

Answer 1

I am with you, a good, basic fry up. Indeed the breakfast that built the Empire!

P.S. A good shag isn't bad either.

Answer 2

General selfishness mainly. In actuality, when the colonists came to America, there were a wide variety of groups that came. Some came to search for gold and other valuables, some searched for trade routes to the Indies, some were trying to establish a foothold in a new unexplored land for their respective countries (Britain, France, Netherlands, etc), and only a few groups came seeking equality or religious freedom. The Puritans and Quakers were among the religious groups that came over. The Puritans were very strict in their religious views and imposed their ideas on others they met. This caused some feuding with the Native Americans (if the British weren't following the right Christianity, the natives surely weren't). Meanwhile, the Quakers, who settled in the Pennsylvania were actually very accepting of the local Indians. Overall though, during the early colonization of America, most actions against Native Americans were from the Imperialistic forces of European countries, mixed with greed for land, and a lack of understanding of Native American culture. It is important to remember that America was formed from a wide variety of peoples, even before we gained our independence. Some of them were more friendly than others. Now after the first few generations, as Britain was beginning to consolidate its control over the colonies and America grew closer to becoming a country of its own, people probably didn't realize the discrimination that their parents had faced. So the violence between 1750 and 1900 (which really was most of it) was generations after people escaped from discrimination.
