What is a 'traditional' English Breakfast ?

[basejumper]

Traditional English Breakfast


Sometimes also called a ‘fry-up’, the full English breakfast consists of fried eggs, sausages, back bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and often a slice of white or black pudding (similar to bloodwurst).

It is accompanied by tea or coffee and hot, buttered toast. These days, breakfast may also include other items such as baked beans and hash browns.

Surely baked beans and hash browns can't be part of our English tradition they are from American menus. Hot buttered toast is not fried so also spurious

The whole menu barring beans, sounds beautiful..

Baked beans maybe aren’t the tradition but seem to be the norm these days.

There's a proprietor in our village who's fish shop sign says 'traditional British fish and chips' . He fries in vegetable oil which is not traditional in Yorkshire at all. Beef dripping is.

Traditional vintage Full English actually used a 'Pork Chop' and 'Bone Marrow' instead of 'Bacon'.



Not that I'm a fan of that. Give me crispy smoked danish bacon with mine.

There are a lot of regional variants though and many have their own preferred preferences and cooking methods. Even how it's plated is important - ask Alan Partridge ..
