Anywhere in Eugene serves a full English breakfast?

The Pint Pot on the weekends has something like that.

Yes, at 11am on Sat/Sun. But the portions are also small.

So... a full English breakfast with accurate portions?

I've stayed at a few B&B's in England (and in Dublin, IR) and I've always been a bit put off by the large amount of food in an English breakfast. I can eat a lot, but it's just so much in the early morning when it was made...every day. Especially if I had a shwarma at 2am!

I wouldn't mind the larger amount, at 11am when Pint Pot has it. But yeah, not at 8am.

u/washington_jefferson Oct 05 '22

Yeah, or even as a dinner if you make it at home.

A full English in England is fucking huge. Scotland too, made even bigger by the portion of haggis that you must always add (though haggis is delicious so it's ok I guess)

u/Glorakoth Oct 06 '22

It's huge because it is a lot of dishes in small portion sizes.

I feel that's just semantics. You wouldn't say that you ate a small portion of salad, if you only ate 1/4c of each component, because those can all add up to make a huge portion.

It’s not in Eugene, but over in Newport, Nana’s Irish Pub serves one that is definitely worth the drive.

If you're from the Uk you're probably better off making your own fry up. You can find the right beans around (Fred Meyers might and I've seen them at world market) and I'm assuming someone in town has blood sausage. Everything else is easy to find.

Long's Meat Market has blood sausage! That's where we go for our fry up.

Hey thanks I really appreciate that! I think you more than anyone can understand my pain here. I just wish there was a diner that served English breakfast or Scottish breakfasts is that so much to ask for? I honestly think it's a billion dollar idea 😂

Lion and Owl will have it as a brunch menu item from time to time, haven't been in a minute though.

u/jcorviday Oct 05 '22

2 years ago a couple of folks complained about the high cost for small portions for Lion and Owl's "English."

u/sexualdalek Oct 05 '22

Lion and Owl can definitely be a little too precious for it's own good, but it's a nice splurge every now and again. That hamhock potato is my kryptonite.

I was only commenting about the English breakfast. I used to visit a place out east that served an Irish. I only had the Irish once as I just find that size of a breakfast to be too much. But I think people who are searching out the English (or Irish) breakfast experience expect it the portions to be large, hence why I brought it up.

u/sexualdalek Oct 05 '22

Ah, I see. I just recalled seeing it on the menu there, figured I'd mention it. It's not really my preferred meal either, bacon always looks underdone, I'm into the crispiness.

u/jcorviday Oct 05 '22

With a 2 second look at your posting history I had you down a pancake person. ;)

u/sexualdalek Oct 05 '22

I've been known to abuse a sausage patty from time to time

2 weeks ago, a friend had the same complaint.
