Part II-3. Let's Eat some British Breakfast

It had been a while since I wrote a post.. so I had to read the post that I posted. Wasn't hard though; I read the last sentence and knew exactly where I was. Before we get to that, my bad if you guys were waiting for my post. I had to take this Korean Proficiency test on Saturday in order to apply for med schools, but it was pretty hard, so I had to take a couple of days to take it in. Anyways...

 As I was saying, we were hungry, and there were lots of restaurants in the area that we could go to. I wanted some cheap, filling food, like some Mexican food. But.. my brother wanted breakfast.. hey, who doesn't like breakfast? Well, I don't really like breakfast that much. He was the older one though, so we went into this place called Huxley's Bar & Kitchen. I wish I'd taken a shot of the restaurant, but it wasn't looking that nice from outside anyways. I don't know if this is an Europe thing, but pretty much all the (nice) restaurants seemed to have menus outside for people to see what they want to eat, or if they can afford it (this is me). You can kind of see what the place looks like from the picture, but you see a couple of guys at the bar, and the entrance was to the right of that. We sat in the corner (always). 

 This guy came over to get the order almost immediately after we sat down. And started talking. I was holding my iPad, and he wanted to exchange breakfast for it. He was just joking, but kind of got scared for a second because he almost sounded serious. This guy. Anyways, I ordered 'The Big Breakfast' you see on the left except the sausages and this guy said, "you mean, 'The Great Britain Breakfast'?" I was like, "Yeah, I  guess?" This guy (don't know his name, gonna call him Tommy, although he looks more like Liam; I like Liam Neeson), he was literally talking to us for like 10 minutes talking about how we're from America (from the accent), how he came in at 5am, and how 'The GB Breakfast' is like the most typical breakfast you'd eat in UK. Tommy was a typical British guy though; he kept calling me and my brother 'mate'. 

Finally, Tommy got our orders in. I ordered that 'The GB Breakfast' and my brother ordered 'The GB Breakfast' without the beans and mushrooms, which was 'Huxley Single Breakfast'. It would've been a whole lot easier at the waffle house ordering that all star special. My brother also ordered a sweet tea (haha), and Tommy said, "You mean, like an iced tea with extra sugar? We've got Lemon and Peach, which one you want, mate?" I thought it was kind of funny how he said 'extra sugar', and my brother got that 'Peach flavored Iced Tea'. Just FYI, I'm reading off of a receipt that I kept. No way I can remember all the names (It's a great way to keep your memories, too). On the receipt it literally says, '1 GB Breakfast, 1 HUX SGL Breakfast, 1 Peach Iced Tea'. Now that I look at it again, Tommy's name was actually VIRU. Such a british name... NOT. What IS Viru anyway?

 Now we waited. This is actually the reason we got in here first place. If you remember, we wanted to eat, but we also wanted to kill time, too. There were lots of 'British' paintings/pictures on the wall. Maybe I'll visit this London Eye sometime.

 This was just an interesting pic. Don't know why it was there. I guess they were protesting about something by wearing speedos and bikinis.

 Thought this was a cool pic though. I guess this was London like a long time ago. 

The harry potter sauce? I think this was a steak sauce, but do they have these in America?

I guess I never took a closer look at splenda packets. And 'Apply liberally' sounded pretty weird to me, too.

 I know, right? I'm taking pics of sugar packets. The food sure took long enough. 

As much as I want to comment on every pic I've taken, It's kind of hard to do on pics like this one.

 FINALLY! First things first. This ain't a tailgate before Georgia game, but baked beans? And tomatoes? And mushrooms? The beans were pretty good though, to be honest. And tomatoes weren't bad either. It's just that I don't think I'd ever had beans and tomatoes for breakfast. It was kind of weird, but what the heck we're in Europe. 

The hash browns were very over-fried. I guess that's how brits like 'em. As for the eggs, I specifically asked Viru that what was the most popular type of eggs in UK. And he said it was fried over-medium. So there it was. He also told me to dip the toast in it with ketchup. Some of you may think that's nasty, but it was pretty good. The bacon was the bomb though.

 That stuff was good. I like my bacon to be soft rather than hard/overcooked. It also went pretty well with those whole mushrooms. 
This is my brother's plate.. I had a bite of that sausage, and it reminded me of how much I didn't like sausage. They tasted almost the same with the American ones. 

 Here's that 'Peach Tea'; maybe they actually brewed down the tea, cooled it down, and brought it; that takes about 30 minutes, right? I had a sip of it, and it was pretty good actually. But it cannot beat the strawberry lemonade from the Mama's Boy. That stuff is good, if yall haven't tried it. 

Even the napkin had the 'Great Britain' sticker on it, this restaurant was all about the British. 

Even though the toast wasn't toasted enough for my taste, toast & butter wasn't bad. Put the egg yolk and ketchup on it, it was even better. 

Finally the cool lighting. All in all the breakfast at Huxley's wasn't bad at all. The GB Breakfast was 7.75, Single Breakfast was 6.75, and the 'extra sugar' peach tea was 2.75, all in British Pounds. So it was a bit pricey (about $30 with tip) and we would regret this later, but I'd say it was better than sitting around for 4 hours doing nothing. If you want to visit Huxley's it's in Terminal 5, left hand side when you come out of the security, upstairs. Look for Tommy, and by that I mean Viru. I wanted to post this earlier so you guys could read it after classes, but I didn't wanna divide up the post again. I should warn you though, we did take some 3k pics, but they are not nearly as detailed as this first meal. Not even close. But there ARE 3k pics you're gonna see, so wait for 'em.
