Paddy McGuinness divides internet saying hash browns don’t belong on fry-up

Paddy McGuinness has divided the internet after saying hash browns do not belong on a full English breakfast.

The comedian and Top Gear host, 49, shared a video clip of his appetising boxed breakfast, zooming in on an empty gap where a hash brown would go.

As he moved his camera phone over his serving of bacon, sausages, poached eggs, tomatoes and beans, he emphasised that he had refused having a hash brown.

He said in the video on his Instagram page: “While I’m out and about this morning I’ve got myself a breakfast in a box. 

“What’s missing? What should be there? A dirty hash brown. Not a chance. It shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a breakfast. Not on my watch. Get out.”

In a caption alongside the video clip Paddy wrote: “No love lost for the hash browns here. They shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a brekky!!! Whoever came up with the idea to introduce them to a cooked breakfast wants throwing in the sea! #hashbrowns.”

Commenters soon took to their keyboards to voice their opinions on the matter.

Running Rabbit Man said in response: “But you are wrong though. It’s mushrooms and black pudding that should never go near a cooked breakfast.” As clap1409 replied: “Hash browns makes breakfast.”

Dark_opal also disagreed with Paddy writing: “I have to disagree I love a hash brown, can’t stand black pudding!”

As lou._2_ also said:  “That’s criminal got to have a hash brown!”

Lisabriggs exclaimed: “Paddy!! It’s one of the best bits of a full English. You are wrong on every level my friend!” Adding:”And you can throw POACHED eggs in the sea, fried my friend, FRIED!” 

On team Paddy, sarahhockerry agreed, saying: “It should be fried bread not hash browns.” 

So did Artfuldoddster typing: “Agree, hash browns NO!”
