Win a signed copy of The Breakfast Bible
 |
For a chance to win our compendium of recipes, facts, essays and wild theories (see what people have been saying about it here and here), all we ask is that you tell us about a real place that has a breakfasty name.
Here's an example: Bacon Street, just off Brick Lane in London. Or the village of Bean, in Kent. If you know one already, great. If not, be a detective (or use the internet).
Leave your answers in the comments section below. You'll only be eligible if you're the first person to suggest a place, which means the sooner you enter, the easier it will be.
The competition will close at 6pm on Tuesday 7 May and we'll pick the winners at random. If you've left a comment anonymously, you should check back later that week to see if you're a victor. Good luck!

How about that delicious fungal avenue Mushroom Street in Leeds
Towcester!
There's a Pancake Lane in Hemel Hampstead
There is a place called Cereal in Alberta, Canada. Pretty breakfasty if you ask me.
Bread Street - can't get more breakfast-y than that
What could be more suitable for the London Review of Breakfasts than "Grub Street" in Oxsted, Surrey. Fittingly, it's neatly sandwiched between Grubstreet Copse and Grubstreet Shaw...
Hi Peep @ Satpigcanteen – that works, but where is Bread Street? (Everyone, please specify where your places are!)
Bakeham Lane nr. Egham, Surrey! -Double Hammy
Bakeham Lane nr. Egham, Surrey - Double Hammy!
"The Egg and I" in Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Sorry! Bread Street is in London EC4M also where Gordon Ramsey's Bread Street Kitchen is. Incidentally they do fantastic Ricotta hotcakes, banana and honeycomb butter.
Am I allowed more than one go?
Egg is a town in Switzerland South East of Zurich
Towcester in N'hants. It's pronounced Toaster.
Bacon County, Georgia, US
Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, US
Barton-in-the-Beans, Leicestershire
Eggs and Bacon Bay, Tasmania. Winner! http://localstats.qpzm.com.au/stats/tas/tasmania/hobart/eggs-and-bacon-bay
Porridgetown in Co. Galway, Ireland. The home of porridge, probably.
In a historic building in old-town Salinas, CA a favorite breakfast spot is "First Awakenings." On busy weekend mornings they serve coffee and tea while patrons wait for their coveted tables.
Egginton near Derby

Pancake Ravine in the Sierra Nevada in California. Now THAT's my kind of rock formation!
Faggot, Northumberland

Pork Lane, Essex
Pancake Hill, Cheltenham
Mushroom Green, Dudley
Surely a breakfast tour fit for a King!
I see Mr Taylor's Pancake Ravine and I raise him Sausage Mountain (also in California)!
How about Pie Town in New Mexico in the USA. It seems the apple pies baked there were so good they influenced the town name. The town has once a year a food festival, you guessed it, about pies!
There's a Hot Coffee in Mississippi, if you're not big on food first thing
Fryup Dale in the North York Moors.
Three more then I MUST MAKE MYSELF STOP!
Frying Pan, California
Forks of Salmon, California
Two Egg, Florida
Oatmeal, Texas USA!
There's Egg Lane in Drayton and Coffee Pot Lane in Haseley. Just make sure you don't spill it on your Ball's Pond Road (in Islington!) ;D
How about.... Black Pudding Peak (in Antarctica) !
Porridge Pot Alley, Guildford,UK
Maple Ridge, British Columbia!
Late but still I couldn't resist.

Thanks though to everyone who entered and sorry you couldn't all win a copy – you have entertained me a lot with your place names, to the point where I've compiled them all (and a load more) into a world map that I am pretty sure is like no other: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zVlxVM37asMc.kzTtmZrRtyFo
