Having read the definition in the OP, I'm pleased to say I've never had, or come close to having, a full English breakfast in my life.
Needs a hot fresh mug of tea

I want that to be my decision. Use a sausage as a breakwater. But I'm nit-picking, on
the whole, a very good effort - 7 on 10. Let's make love.
I've only ever had one, and i didn't like it.
It dances for your amusement while sat on your plate.
It has to be made in England
Since when did a simple fry up become a full English and even merit some sort of society to pontificate over its ingredients?
As an expert ( I'm one of the few English individuals on here) it remains a fry up, you can have whatever you want in it but the ingredients must be of poor quality and must be cooked with an evens chance of fag ash being included.
It is compulsory to have an overly brewed mug of tea with several sugars,as a side order, and all of this must be consumed whilst reading a tabloid newspaper.
Extra credibility can be garnered by leaving several breakfast stains down your shirt.
We associate chocolate with Belgium and Switzerland and tomatoes with Mediterranean countries whereas both comestibles come from South and Central America. Such is life
Sausage, fried eggs, bacon, beans, fried tomatoes, hash browns, toast, mug of tea, god save the queen.
Ah such a diverse football message board....
The above link is simply Rosti, not Hash browns.
I go along with most contributors......no chips, no Bubble and Squeek.....(though I love that dish in its own right.....). Tomatoes have to be fresh, cut in half and fried......FRIED bread. My only non starter (although traditional) is that I don't like Black pudding. Of course it has to be Brown sauce on it..... TEA (black), has to be drunk after the meal while it is piping hot......Used to quite enjoy the one in The Conway decades ago, even though they had chips with it....then Brains changed it and filled the plate with a roll and I stopped eating there.
Yes , Welsh breakfast is utter nonsense
Same as the Welsh Baftas or Welsh Gogglebox ff sake
Yes I've always wondered what Italian cuisine was like before the tomato, there was an episode of "you're dead to me" about the colombian exchange the other dayWe associate chocolate with Belgium and Switzerland and tomatoes with Mediterranean countries whereas both comestibles come from South and Central America. Such is life
Nice to hear Ramon's is still there.
And Italy gets a bit of slack when it comes to coffee, in fairness, they get away with a fair bit. A tower called Pisa that's ****ed because it was built poorly and a city that has basically flooded and stinks of shit. Anywhere else they'd be seen as disaster zones. The price of being cool, eh .We associate chocolate with Belgium and Switzerland and tomatoes with Mediterranean countries whereas both comestibles come from South and Central America. Such is life
I might want to mix them, but I'd like it to be my choice !!
You can keep your bubble and squeak whatever society you are.
I think sausage, egg, beans and bacon with toast are needed, along with black pudding.
Tomatoes, mushrooms etc add as you like.
Get chips a lot in London etc.
Nice chopped up mixed with beans and black pudding
Why do people have a thing with beans and eggs? I love beans and egg on toast..
Read up on English Breakfasts a short while ago whilst lost down an internet rabbit hole. The English Breakfast as we understand only came about around the time of The First World War and has evolved over the intervening years to what we know it as now.
Baked beans only arrived in the UK in 1886, so can’t truly be seen as a traditional part of the dish. Plus they are an American invention.
I find it curious how the dish has managed to reach all parts of the UK, has a standard set of ingredients whilst also having regional differences.
Scotland - Lorne sausage. God they are lush.
North West - Bury Black Pudding. Again, lush. The huge “plate sized” slices are far more appealing than the one’s I used to have in Cardiff (I now live in Manchester).
But for the record….
Two sausages (Pork & Apple), 2 unsmoked rashers of back bacon, baked beans, toms (tinned or grilled fresh), fried egg, black pudding.
Two rounds of bread and butter. (Doorsteps)
Brown sauce. (HP)
Touch of vinegar.
Mayonaisse. (Hellman’s, the rest tastes naff)
Pot of strongly brewed Breakfast tea.
Under no circumstances should any form of potato be part of the meal. If it does, it becomes a fry-up and not a full-English.
And for me, absolutely no mushrooms. But I accept it’s a proper part of the full-English for others.
If potatoe makes it a fry up rather than a full English, what does Mayonnaise make it?
Tinned tomatoes are traditional as there were no tomatoes in the UK for most of the year until relatively recently (in my lifetime). Unless you lived in the manor house and your Gardner grew some in his Victorian Greenhouse.
I can remember at this time of year, just before Easter, looking forward to the boats from The Canary Islands arriving with their gorgeous sun kissed tomatoes.
That’s why we’re in the building game and getting by through working our stones off instead of having the forethought years ago to build one simple tower that’d eventually start keeling over and over the years making millions out of tourists coming to view it……… I’ve just launched my level
I just prefer to keep my wet items apart and choose to mix them if I want to.
tinned plum tomatoes on toast is very underrated. Although when i cook something like that or beans on toast I have a hard time justifying to my wife that British cuisine isn't as bad as it is made out to be
