Me and Mrs. S really fancy a mixed grill for tomorrow night's tea. I haven't had one for years but was thinking of an assemblage of:

Fried egg, gammon steak, rump steak, lamb cutlet, tomatoes, mushrooms.

Is there anything else that must be on the plate? And also, any suggestions for a carb accompaniment as we don't want chips.

Fanks.

Cumberland sausage.
Chips are the correct accompaniment by law.

Hash Browns and beans.

The Rose and Crown in Rammy does the best mixed grill ever. FACT! You can literally feel your arteries hardening as you digest it 😀

Black Pudding.

You can't have a mixed grill without it, it's the law [probably]

I believe Birds eye potato waffles are 'Waffily Versatile'.

That said a jacket spud and some beans will complement the meal perfectly.

Weather spoons do a wicked mixed grill for about £ 8 pounds and sometimes includes a drink.

That's as maybe, but that would involve sitting in the vicinity of people who smell of wee, and possibly getting glassed 😉

I think you need to include all the main food animals on the plate, so:
Small steak
Cumberland sausage
Lamb cutlet/chop
Some kind of chargrilled chicke

Then add more pork:
Black pudding
Pork chop
Gammon

Then add chips, a grilled mushroom and some garden peas.

Nomnomnom

Onion rings.

Beans or tinned spaghetti.

Hot dog sausages.

For 'not chips,' you could do mini roast potatoes. Cut spuds into 2cm cubes, boil for a few minutes, drain and shake to fluff the edges, then bang in the oven.

Agreed it might be straying into S&T, but typically that's steak and prawns, so... I'm just trying to get as much meat on the plate as possible...
In for a penny and all that.

Cumberland ring, black pudding, onion rings, pork chop, some peas and washed down with a quart of real ale and a half of Stella for mrs S
If there isn't a minimum of 32lbs of dead animal on your plate it's not worth bothering with
And non of this well done rubbish, we need blood

Onion rings - oh yes. They are well fit!

Keep em coming.

I may post a photo of it for your delectation.

Clearly it only qualifies as the true king of mixed grills if the Lamb element is a Barnsley Chop, with kidneys still attached!

(bloody EU elfinsafety rules! 🙄 )

Spaghetti and baked beans are pretty interchangeable, no?

Just a few random ideas rather than 'the same old stuff we have every other time.' My grill-ups generally involve me looking in the freezer like a kid at the penny sweet counter. "I'll have one of those, one of those, two of them... "

No. No they are not. Who the hell has tinned spagetti instead of beans on a fry up. I am sorry but you have overstepped the mark this time Cougar and I have reported you to the Mods for having no culinary taste.

Cougar, clearly there are people here that just want to be pointed in the direction of the nearest 'Hungry Horse' or 'Beefeater' crap pub. Some of them were doing so well on the willy waving thread as well 🙁

It's got to include a half-tomato cut in a jagged shark's-tooth pattern as well. Otherwise it's not a mixed grill.

SMD - you are correct. The serrated edged tomato is an absolute must. I will dig out my pinking shears...

HAGGIS FTW. Sliced and fried and then wash the whole lot down with a pint of ale. May help to have someone available that knows CPR.

Thought the tomato was halved and pan fried? Not sure "fresh" anything is the way to go!

Also, if you don't like black pudding maybe add some white pudding?

You can't be having beans with a mixed grill. Are you some sort of northerner? It has to be meat except for chips fried in meat fat. And none of those poofy frozen things. Make your own.
For variety without spoiling the pureity use boar instaed of pork and venison instead of lamb. Maybe drop in rabbit or squirrel . On second thoughts, don't use the above as a substitute just add them. You need a few pints of rough real ale and a sharp knife. If you like your food hot, expect to chuck it back in the pan half way thoughas any decent grill will take a good while to eat
