Jenn and Clara delve deep into the finer points of the English breakfast, including egg cookery, differences in types of bacon and sausage, what makes clotted cream so darn delicious, and how a man’s tea order says so much about his tastes. Also, discover the joy of Welsh rarebit and how a toast rack can also be a symbol of quiet luxury.
