The ultimate British breakfast

[DarthMaiden]

So out of a family of 4 we have various versions of this.

AIBU to think I am right?

Me: 2 rashers of bacon, a sausage, a potato cake, fried egg, grilled tomato and mushrooms.

DH: 2 rashers of bacon, 2 sausages, slice of black pudding, 2 potato cakes, scrambled eggs, beans

DSD: 2 potatoes cakes, poached egg, bacon and beans

DS: toast, beans, scrambled eggs, 3 potato cakes and 2 sausages

Over to the MN jury...which breakfast would you have?

Potato cake does not belong on an English breakfast. Blurgh!

Eggs
Sausage
Mushroom
Bacon
Tomatoes

Buttered toast.

Good for you including potato cakes! Most people probably dont even know what they are but they are always a feature in my fry ups! I'd have to go with DH but no beans.

Marmite toast with a fried egg on top.

2x fried egg
2x bacon
1 x sausage
Sautéed potatoes (well done)
Mushrooms
Grilled tomato
Fried slice
Toast with marmalade

Potato cake =Scottish breakfast in our house.

YABU for having potato cake.

Bacon, fried egg, sausage, fried bread, grilled tomatoes.

None of them. I don't like mushrooms, tomato or black pudding

My ideal fry up is 2 rashers of bacon, 2 sausages, fried egg, 2 hash browns, baked beans, fried bread

No Staffordshire oat cake?!

I'd choose your DHs breakfast. Sounds just about perfect to me!!

If you're offering, I'll have yours but without the mushrooms.

I don't have a problem with baked beans for breakfast but they aren't trad English. Potato cakes probably aren't either, but they are so nice...

Is a potato cake a potato scone?

2 x sausages, 2 x black pudding, 2 x poached eggs, 2 x hash browns, mushrooms and beans.

for me it's

black pudding
mushrooms
beans
poached egg
tomato
hash brown

Bacon x 2
Sausage x 2
Potato scone
Fried egg
Mushrooms
Fried tomato

Massive mug of tea

2x well cooked smoked back bacon
1x square sausage
1x tattie scone
1x fried egg
1x black pudding
1x slice haggis
Small spoonful of beans

Perfection.

Bacon
Sausage
Black pudding
Fried bread
Mushrooms
Tinned tomatoes or beans
Scrambled egg

I often do a fried bread with Worcestershire sauce combo that goes down well.

Lorne sausage, two crispy smoked bacon, two potato scones, black pudding, haggis, fried egg, mushrooms, ketchup and toasted white bread. Oh I could go that now.

2 fried eggs bacon sausage tattie scone (bemused look from non Scottish mumsnetters) fried bread baked beans

I x bacon 1 x egg 1 x sausage 1 x flat mushroom. Black pudding nice but optional. No potato or beans - carbs are the enemy didn't you know? But hot buttered toast if you must.

Is a potato cake a tattie scone? I've never heard of a potato cake before!

Fried Egg
Bacon
Sausage
Mushrooms
Beans
Fried bread

NO potato products

Yabu, you have forgotten the hash browns.

OP did not say English Breakfast, she said British Breakfast. Do some of you not consider Scotland to be part of Great Britain?

Potato cakes are awesome with melted cheese on top but have never tried them with a fry up

Toast (or fried bread)
Hash browns
Beans
Mushrooms
Grilled tomato
Fried egg
One sausage (though usually rather not, I'm a carb monster!)
HP Sauce

No bacon or black pudding, vile stuff.
