To think beans are a staple ingredient of a fry up?

[JustStirItUna]

DH thinks a traditional fry up should be served without beans. I think it's not a proper fry up without some kind of moisture.

Who's right?

Imo beans make a fry-up, but my dh hates beans, he has tinned tomatoes with his.

[ApocalypseThen]

I can think of little more revolting than beans at breakfast.

[Catswiththumbs]

Tinned tomatoes are king here

[HollyBdenum]

DH. Beans are only a vital component in a veggie fry-up. If you have bacon, then beans are optional. Anyway, surely the egg yolk provides moisture?

[HappyJustToBe]

Beans are necessary.

[LongDistanceLove]

Yes to beans :) no to tinned tomatoes.

[HollyBdenum]

Vital: bacon, eggs, fried/toasted bread of some sort depending on region, plus at least one item from the optional list.

Optional: mushrooms, tomatoes, sausages, beans, black pudding, other regional specialities.

Yes to beans! Although in our house (DH only I hasten to add) you have to create a bacon barrier so that the beans don't touch the toast. He's an odd child.

OP, how can there be "rules" about this? It's a matter of personal taste and choice only, not about what you consider to be right or wrong. I can't stand beans, so it would be pointless if I was served beans with my breakfast just because someone considered that they "should" be there. They wouldn't get eaten. What's the point of that?

[NotCitrus]

No beans nor tinned tomatoes, but at least one of fried tomatoes or mushrooms.

[Only1scoop]

Served in a ramekin on the side?

[PitchWrapped]

Yes beans no tomatoes

[VirginiaTonic]

I don't think baked beans would be included in a truly traditional English breakfast, however I prefer mine with beans. Have whatever you like.

[iklboo]

I prefer tinned tomatoes. Beans are too sweet at breakfast for me - even reduced sugar ones. My ideal fry up:

Bacon, sausage, black pudding, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread. Big mug of strong tea.

(Makes shopping list).

[iklboo]

Or a potato cake instead of the fried bread.

YANBU.

I love beans at any time of day.

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

No, sorry. I'd have grilled tomatoes (admittedly I don't have a proper fry up because I don't eat egg).

[ArgyMargy]

No beans or hellish tomatoes. Mushrooms definitely. I really want a fry up now!!

[SteveBrucesNose]

Beans are essential, but cannot, I repeat, CANNOT be touching the egg.

Sausages are there as a barrier. No egg yolk or egg white can touch beans or else it is wrong.

[R4roger]

not beans.
beans are an unnecessary addition.
yabu
bacon egg and toms and toast here, and poss sausages.

[formerbabe]

I like beans but once they are heated I drain them through a colander as I hate the juice!

[R4roger]

in a caff i always substitute beans for toms.
