    Pound Bakery pasties are actually really nice, full of filling compared to Waterfields etc

    Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever beat the Ace Cafe in Londons breakfasts.

  • Ikea do cheap breakfasts.
  • Bet the homeless will be happy enough with it, it's a hot meal after all.

    I wouldn't touch a £1 fry up with a bargepole. Lord alone knows what the sausages are made of. Floor sweepings probably.

    There's probably nothing wrong with the quality of the food on the £1 breakfast, it will just be a loss leader to draw people in. Most people will end up spending a few quid more on extras like tea,coffee, toast etc
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.

    On HUKD there was uproar when Asda offered their Choice sausages for 15p. People automatically assumed that the 15p sausages contained "muck" and were awful for 15p, conveniently forgetting that they were in fact 70p sausages before the price cut.

    Ultra cheapie sausages normally comprise of a collagen skin (primarilly found in connective tissue and ligaments) which contains a paste made up of 32% "meat"
    This "meat" can be 30% fat, 20% recovered meat (slurry), 30% filler (rusk or soya) and the other 20% made up of water, sugar additives etc.

    vikingaero: was that 15p per sausage, or 15p per pack?

    I wouldn't touch 70p sausages either.

    Theres always been a huge mark up in cafe's etc its about time someone made a stand,good luck to them.

    Exile_geordie do you really believe if you pay more you are always getting served a better product ?

    Did I say that? I am questioning the quality of the food that you are eating if you get a fry up for a quid. yes we can get tinned beans at dirt cheap prices but meat products and eggs? Im not so sure that any of it will be any sort of quality and as one poster said, probably very bad for your health

    ETA : not every time but yes, you generally get what you pay for with regards to meat products, especially wiht the likes of sausages as you get more pork in them rather than the scraps of what was left on the cutting room floor.
