It’s breakfast time. Forget stacks of pancakes covered in maple syrup and push aside your love of grits as there is no place for any of these items in the classic full English breakfast. So grab you knife and your folk and come with me as we feast our eyes on Britain’s most treasured national dish. The origins of the full English breakfast are a bit of a mystery but many believe it  harks back to time of landed gentry who were keen to display their wealth and in doing so would put on lavish cooked breakfast for their guests. The full English breakfast was later adopted by the working classes as a great way to start a day during the Industrial revolution and has since become part of the British national identity. Nowadays most Brits indulge in a full English only at the weekends but it is worth of wait Also called a fry up the the full English consists of the following fundamental items:

Eggs: fried eggs are most common in a full English breakfast. However scrambled and poached are totally acceptable options.

Bacon: We mainly use British back bacon which is a combination of both pork belly and pork loin. The bacon is served fried or grilled until the fat is golden brown and no it is not covered with  maple syrup.

Sausages: The full English breakfast is perfect place for you to show off your sausage. Sausages are fried or grilled.

Black pudding: I can only imagine this is called a pudding to make it sound more appealing. Black pudding is actually not a pudding. In fact it is more like a sausage but made with kidney fat  oatmeal and pig’s blood. It sliced and then yep, it fried and tastes a bit dry and salty.

Baked beans: British baked beans are stewed haricot beans typically in a tomato sauce. You could make you own but most just buy.

Toast: Toast or fried bread is essential. You can use it as a platform to transport eggs and beans to your mouth or you could save it and cover it in marmalade. In the north of England grilled oat cakes are popular whilst soda bread is served in Ireland. Wales has lava bread which is made up of seaweed boiled with oats.

Mushrooms: Mushrooms should never come from a tin. Only fresh mushrooms will do. Grill or fry them gently and add some herbs.

Tomatoes: Grilled tomatoes are perhaps the most colourful item on a plate.

So, there you go: eggs, bacon, sausages, black pudding, baked beans, toast, mushrooms, and tomatoes. It is the perfect way to start the day. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee and of course a copy of the morning papers.
