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?

Sausage
Bacon
mushrooms
potato bread
Soda bread
fried pancake
Fried egg
Tomatoes (never eaten but should be on plate)
Ketchup

Wh0Kn0wsWhereTheTimeGoes · 28/06/2017 21:40

None of them as tomatoes or beans with breakfast are an abomination.

Egg
Streaky bacon
Lorne sausage (never normal sausages)
Black pudding
Fried bread or potato scone

Wh0Kn0wsWhereTheTimeGoes · 28/06/2017 21:40

Forgot mushrooms.

TonicAndTonic · 28/06/2017 21:43

OP I'd go with yours but with hash brown (or two) instead of potato scone, and with baked beans as well.

ticketytock1 · 28/06/2017 21:44

An Ulster fry. Potato bread, soda bread, pancakes, sausage, bacon, egg, beans and black pudding

QODRestYeMerryGentlemen · 28/06/2017 21:45

tigercub50 · 28/06/2017 21:48

Ooh yes forgot about tinned plum tomatoes. I love tinned tomatoes on toast ( DH thinks I'm mad!) And it has to be a mahoosive mug of tea

Beanjean · 28/06/2017 21:48

Can I just share how I do my egg? I fry it on a low heat in butter with a lid on the pan so that the top of the white cooks without the yolk over-cooking and no crispy bottom. I discovered this method about 5 years ago and never have them any other way now.

Is that your infamous roast breakfast?

squoosh · 28/06/2017 22:01

fruitcake and plumed tomatoes

Say what?!

milliemolliemou · 28/06/2017 22:02

Roast herring, filleted, with vinegar and brown bread
Smoked mackerel, brown bread
Kipper, brown bread.
Porridge made with water in a double saucepan, salt.
Boiled eggs with toast.

Herring roe on toast.

All yum and just as British. Still like my dad's roast beef dripping on toast.

canihaveacoffeeplease · 28/06/2017 22:04

At home for Sunday breakfast we usually have:

2 bacon
1 or 2 sausages ( me/dh)
Black pudding (Stornoway or Dingwall only!)
1 or 2 poached eggs (me/dh)
Roasted cherry vine tomatoes, 1 'vine' each
Wilted spinach
Mushrooms
Sometimes a tattie scone if I've remembered!
Sourdough toast

Dd1 is a fussy little mare, poached or scrambled egg, toast and roast tomatoes for her
Dd2 still EBF but I'm expecting great things...

From your list I'd pick your breakfast I think!
