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?

Well I think this thread illustrates that there is not one English breakfast or Scottish or Welsh or Irish etc, even within those categories there is lots of variation.

I think of all of them as being essentially the same with a bit of regional/personal variation.

I just think it's a bit silly to insist on the differences when there are more similarities. But people can call it what they want of course

Cross post, mine was in reply to AndTake

I would be happy with this except that they have overcooked the bottom and undercooked the top so it is all snotty [vom]

I remember being in a hotel in Llandudno and being offered a full English or a full Welsh breakfast. It turned out that the Welsh breakfast had an extra egg.

For me it would be:

2 poached eggs
2 sausages
2 slices of bacon
Fried mushrooms
Grilled tomato
Soda farl
HP sauce
Pot of team
The Archers Omnibus

We try and recreate that most Sundays here in Virginia. a little corner of England/Britain in our lives (usually minus the sausages). DS loves it although he is very American.

Two sausage, two bacon , tinned chopped tomatoes, hash brown, poached egg, scrambled egg, beans and toast with real butter.

Mmm hungry now! I have:

Bacon
Sausage
Potato scone
Mushrooms
Tinned tomatoes
Toast
Big mug of tea

2 x bacon
Slice sausage
Tattie scone
Pancake
Fried egg
Beans
Bread and butter
Cup of tea

Lovely....especially if someone else makes it!

Fruit pudding is a new one on me.

Neither of my DCs will eat a cooked breakfast. One will eat a bacon sarnie, the other won't even eat that. So we virtually never have them

2 sausages, bacon (preferably streaky), fried egg, beans and mushrooms. White toast and butter on the side.

3x bacon
3x sausage
3x hash browns
2x fried eggs
1x fried bread
