A cup of tea.
It used to be the case that tea (or for the metros3xuals - coffee) came as standard. More and more these days you're asked to fork out another couple of quid on top. It's not a facking full English without a brew, is it? What is the world coming to? ![]() |

Used to have one every day, long ago. First one for about a year this AM. It was hash brown or black pudding. It had to be the hash brown, black pudding touching owt else on the plate would put me off. Really enjoyed it.
Gotta be eggs bacon sausage mushrooms beans tomatos toast/fried bread +tea imho. |

eggs,bacon,sausage,beans,tomatoes,mushrooms and toast or fried bread and a brew...end of......hash browns,black pudding and chips are all add ons imho

By:
black pudding can be horrible if you get a bad brand.
mushrooms patchy? i like mine well cooked. duck eggs are better than standard eggs, taste like eggs used to in the seventies. |
|
By:
Overlap, desmond. It cannot be a full English without tea included imo.
|
|
By:
Fried bread great when fat came out of the bacon instead of water. Dry cured for me, I'm a tight @rse that don't like paying for water injected shoite.
|

By:
If only we agreed on the black pudding, we would be in perfect accord Saddo.
There's an irish bar near Covent Garden called Philomena's that does a cracking Full Belfast breakfast. If I'm ever in't'smoke, I make it my business to pay at least one visit - tea (in a proper pot) is included. |
|
By:
Fried Bread is essential - You'll need lard as you wont get enough fat out of proper dry cured bacon - nothing wrong with adding it to the bacon pan mind while the bacon is resting.
Black Pudding also essential imo - Irish (Clonakilty or Sneem) or Stornoway are each very good. |

By:
i'd rather have a spin off breakfast.
french toast(eggy bread) and crispy bacon with sauce. cup o tea. the idea of everything on a plate as soon as you wake up? ffs. |
|
By:
it is usually beans or tomatoes
fried slice is now generally an extra tea or coffe is usually included but some sharp practice has come in recently as Desmond has said but I don't think it is metro sexual to have coffee ! I like coffee, real coffee, strong coffee and I don't like PG Tips or Tetley ( Gold Label excepted! ).The Captain Kirk's seem to have taken over the Cafe's. I don't have a problem with that. They try to keep things traditional in London at least. We don't have too much Black Pudding on offer but it is available. The rest of the country may be different. |
|
By:
It's a taste thing for me. I drink more coffee than most men alive and tea very rarely, but has to be tea with an English. Always beans and tomatoes up here.

By:
We get Set 1,2,3,4 and quite often 5.
The main constituents are eggs, sausage, bacon, beans and/or tomato, toast and tea or coffee. Mushrooms, bubble and squeak, fried bread and black pudding are usually extra's The food is usually clean as are the cafe's |

By:
I don't think baked beans belong in a full English cooked breakfast

shame on you and may a pox ne upon your house!
Blasphemer ! |

By:
Hash browns are American and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a FULL ENGLISH. If you must have spuds, potato cakes are an acceptable alternative.
|
|
By:
I agree with Whisperingdeath.
|
|
By:
I agree Cooperman re hash browns but if you must have potatoes with your full english, I can recommend frying halved baby new potatoes; These can easily be done alongside your fried tomatoes or black pudding.

By:
A mug of strong tea.
Unsmoked bacon, on the crispy side. 2 good quality sausages. 2 poached eggs, on the runny side. Baked beans, preferable Branston's. Mushrooms. Two thick slices of white crusty bread, well toasted. Finally plenty of HP sauce all over and that's me nicely sorted. |

By:
Brown Sauce a shocking omission

Is HP Sauce not brown enough for you, Brendan?

By:
Bacon, well cooked/borderline burnt.
Good quality sausages. Eggs either fried or scrabmled. If fried, yolks to be firm. Mushrooms, fried. A fried slice of bread. Black pudding. Strong black coffee. English mustard for the sausages. And a hash brown tucked away out of sight somewhere. |

By:
black pudding is essential
white pudding when in Ireland |
|
By:
i mentioned sauce further down... left it to discretion of tomato or HP?
who are the mutants out there that call tomato sauce.. red sauce ? on apar with teh Americans that call Autumn ... Fall ? coz the leaves fall? It's a dumbing down of the sauce protocol - i therefore now declare that we make it more complicated to weed out the brain impaired. you'll now say... can I have essence of tomato sauce 57th variety please. red sauce - gtf. |

By:
fried potato bread
soda farls fried sometimes small pancakes fried without these its not a fry. |
|
By:
fried dumpling is just weird - raisins? or currents? that's what you want a fruit that tastes rancid with a fry up?
|
|
By:
Same contents in fruit pudding.
How do you know what it tastes like Zorro if you've never tried it? |
|
By:
pancakes are sweet and are nice with a fry.
|
|
By:
i tried it in the seventies. they sell blister packs of two sausages, two fruit puddings and two black puddings. It's obscene. who thought that up?

By:
That was the breakfast that Jesus used to eat.
And you call yourself a Christian. Shame on you you Philistine. ![]() |

the big gap in the bible is that butter is not mentioned once?
bread gets a big mention, where's the butter? |
