Advantages: quick easy

Disadvantages: not a real fry up

Hp All day breakfast.

I cooked this when we were in the middle of building our kitchen extention.We were cooking a la microwave in the corner of the sitting room, nearly penniless, so for supper one night I baked a potato and served the contents of a tin of all day breakfast.

I found this tin in a Tesco store when I was foraging for food. It cost 95 p for 415 g so with the potatoes that would be a meal for 2 for less than £1.50.

The really important thing is it was quick and easy to prepare. I cooked the potatoes first 3 minutes in microwave. (I know they are not as nice as oven baked but satisfactory)
If you wish you can serve this meal on toast.

Then I opened the tin of breakfast it was easy to do so one of those ring pull lids made it easier as I am not sure where the tin opener is (under builders rubble somewhere I guess). The tin is recyclable steel so I put it in our recycling bin.

I emptied the contents of the all day breakfast tin into a Pyrex jug and microwaved for 3 minutes. I put a portion each on top of the baked potatoes I was pleased to find the tomato sauce not to runny just enough for a good covering of the breakfast .It looked and smelt quite appealing.
The contents of the can be cooked in a saucepan on the hob if you have no microwave heat gently not boiling and stir so no contents stick to the pan.

The tin contained 2 pork sausages, about 4 small mushrooms some sort of Scotch egg pieces and a few small pieces of bacon and baked beans.

So how did it taste? Did we enjoy our gourmet super?

The beans were good maybe not quite as good as Heinz, the tomato sauce was good a fairly thick consistency not runny the flavour as you would expect to accompany baked beans, maybe a little sweet.

The sausages small and firm. I read they contain mechanically recovered chicken! They are skinless processed sausages akin to other tinned sausage

The mushrooms small and watery a bit flavourless.

I found a few eggy bits in sausage meat these tasted ok .

Also there were some pieces of bacon sadly these were a bit fatty tasted vaguely bacon like.

Yes this made a good supper for a cold evening surrounded by builders rubble maybe not something I would eat for an evening meal usually but it was warming and satisfying good for a quick snack on toast anytime.
