The Friday 5 #12

The essential ingredients of a full English, a subscriber discount on the brilliant Bold Bean Co and why you should be drinking pet nat

The Friday 5 this week has been somewhat derailed by the heatwave but as I’m on a trip to Champagne and haven’t got time to rethink what I was going to write about you’re going to have to put up with a couple of unseasonably cool weather items.

But the temperatures are apparently going to plummet at the weekend so hopefully by tomorrow it will all feel perfectly normal.  

If you’re a fan of the full English breakfast …

. . . and an admirer of her previous book One more Croissant for the Road you’re going to LOVE my fellow Guardian writer Felicity Cloake’s new book on breakfast Red Sauce, Brown Sauce in which she cycles round the UK investigating regional breakfast specialities. (You can see some of them in the extract here.) I must say could go for a soda farl even in a heatwave.
