BRITS have ridiculed a less than generous “full English” served up at a hotel in the Cotswolds, with one branding it the “Great Depression plate”.
The measly meal was served up to one unlucky diner at the New Inn Hotel in Lechlade-on-Thames, Gloucestershire this morning.
Most of the traditional fry-up elements can be seen on the plate, but it is the size of the portion that has left Brits online appalled.
The unnamed diner was charged an outrageous £10 for the privilege and was left wondering where the other half of the brekkie was.
An image snapped by the diner shows the plate their breakfast is presented on dwarfing the paltry portion.
The offering consists of a single sausage and rasher of bacon, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, half a tomato, one hash brown and a few sliced mushrooms.
The sausage and bacon in particular have been the main subjects of ridicule, with users online suggesting the former has been cooked “with a hairdryer”,
Some herbs have then been chucked on top of the meal in a half-hearted attempt at garnishing.
The picture was shared to social media by the unimpressed Brit today with the caption: “‘Full’ English.”
It has since received over 70 comments from bemused breakfast enthusiasts keen to join in with their insults.
One said: “Didn’t know social distancing was back. That hash brown is having none of it. That’s not great for the money.”
A second commented: “Is it a really, really big plate close up? With a giant tea mug?”
Another wrote: “The Great Depression plate. Wouldn’t be a ‘full’ even with the tablespoon of beans.”
A fourth said: “Looks like the sausage was cooked with a hair dryer.”
Another commented: “Putting it bluntly, that’s s**t.”
