What's the essentials 4 a FULL ENGLISH?

1. Sausage
2. Bacon
3. Egg

n. Baked Beans

And a cup of rosy!

'Egg' is too vague

Scrambled would be my choice. Sausagesssss (what's all this one banger nonsense we get given!!)

Hash Brown - no!
Tomato - not for me
Black Pudding - Hmm, maybe.
Haggis - only when in Sweatyland

So to conclude:

Scrambled eggs
Sausages
Bacon
Baked Beans

Pot of tea. No toast.

Fried slice
Black pudding
Bacon
Sausage
Fried tomato
Egg
Saute potatoes
Mushrooms


Buttered toast and pot of Rosie

Fried slice is contentious

We know it is bad

We know we want it

Definitely if in a greasy spoon but not at home

Tin of wifebeater.

Used to be LCL (lose control lager) til they reduced the volume

Bubble n squeak

WTF ?

I had to work away for a while and stayed in a B&B where the generous hosts gave me a huge full breakfast every morning.
I've never put on weight so quickly in my life!
So can I add
Obesity
Coronary heart disease

I prefer poached eggs to fried. Never had a fried slice - sounds good. Never had black pudding. Never even seen it.

Bubble and squeak - Absolutely

I can't stand baked beans with a full English..the yolk of the egg in the beans is grim.

Each to their own!

Very important to make sure the beans don't touch the eggs

I've been having wholemeal bread or similar on my lunch time sandwiches for years now because apparently they are so much healthier than white bread. Anyway today for some reason the wife buys a white loaf and and gives me a white bread sandwich and I'm like FxckinHell!!! How good is this?? I'd forgotten how lovely white bread is!! It's almost worth taking decades off your life just to eat a white bread sandwich. Sometimes I wonder- seriously- is eating wholemeal bread going to make you live longer??

I can do without baked beans on a fry up.

Best not too in my case KDM

I’m a big fan of a fry up. For my money it’s best to keep things simple. I had one at a very up market restaurant yesterday and they ballsed it right up - beans were served in a tiny thimble like cup. Only one sausage and rasher of bacon and they even put some parsley on the plate.

For my money, this is what the perfect one looks like:

Three sausages. Proper butchers sausages.
Three rashers of very thick bacon. Crispy but not over-done.
Baked beans.
I’m not a fan of fried eggs so definitely scrambled.
Bread and butter.
Pot of tea.

No hash browns or black pudding for me.

Lovely.

plum tomms are a must I also like hp fruity sauce

Square sausage, fried egg, beans and Irn Bru.

Scrambled eggs in a fry up?? Yuck. There is no better flavour than when bacon meets runny yolk.

Best quality bacon
Best quality sausages
Pigs Plonk
Mushrooms
Fried Egg
Grilled tomato (never tinned)
Beans in a ramekin
Thick cut hot low GI toast

Thick cut marmalade to accompany any remaining toast.

nb  The egg and beans must never come into contact.

I love scrambled egg but it has no place in a fry up.

I do a full English every couple of weeks....

My butchers in-house smoked back bacon
His Cumberland Sausages
His own Black Pudding
Fried Eggs, proper free range from my neighbour.
Mushrooms - nothing posh, just supermarket ordinary, but sauteed in half butter and half oil with lots of salt and pepper
Fried Bread - from a standard white Farmhouse loaf - You cannot make proper fried bread without white bread. Hth

I do not do tomatoes unless we have guests for breakfast, then I halve them and fry them with the eggs.  A couple of times a year, I do a full brunch and do all the above plus Lambs Kidneys and a proper Kedgeree. 

Plum tomatoes with a full english; God forbid, although they are very nice with Gammon Steak.

bacon sausage black pud mushrooms onions fried bread..yum.

Anyone that thinks Baked Beans have a place in a full ENGLISH breakfast - hang your head in shame. The clue is in the name ffs.

Mop up bean juice with toast, lovely
