Baked beans are a revolting addition to the full English, and I ask for an extra egg instead. A slice of Macsween's black pudding (available at M&S) is, however, a thing of great beauty. Those nasty little rubbery mushrooms oft included, slimy things, are very unpleasant. I love mushrooms cooked in butter and well-seasoned, then sautéed or done in the oven until all the water has gone from them. But I think they're pretty ruinous in stews. Each to his own. One man's fish is another man's poisson...

I won't buy button mushrooms. Pointless wee things.
