So wrong on so many levels! Reminds me of when I lived in Huntington Beach - try to find a Carrows restaurant if you can - they do some appalling combinations of fried eggs and balsa wood bacon served with strawberry sauce and whipped cream! 
I agree with you there - a Scot with a lack of taste ordered that one!While I will be near Huntington Beach tomorrow, I think I will give that one a miss
3 x cumberland sausage
2 x black bacon (from the cheshire smoke house - stunning stuff)
1 x fried egg
2 x potato cake things
1 x massive portion of beans. I'm a tomato man personally but the missus won the day this time.
Normally we don't have the beans & potato cakes and replace them with black pudding, tomatoes & mushrooms.
Still, it made a nice change.

Deja vu moment... did a fry up a couple of weeks ago and decided to do it again! One less sausage this time though 
(by the way, that's a mushroom at the front, despite the fact that it looks like a tiny baked potato!)

Ok, here's a burning question on the preparation of said breakfast. Is it an all in one pan fry-up, or do the each individual items get cooked differently?
I think sausages and bacon work best when oven cooked, black pudding and mushrooms fried, tomato grilled and beans in a pan.
I'm just curious as to how you all get the best results?

A properly prepared full english requires more utensils, pans and cooking methods than just about any meal.I think sausages and bacon work best when oven cooked, black pudding and mushrooms fried, tomato grilled and beans in a pan.

You need to grill the bacon and sausages
Shallow fry the black pudding, mushrooms, eggs, tattie scones
Deep Fry the Hash Browns
Cook in a pan the baked beans
If you cant fit all on at the same time a plate should either be left in the bottom of the grill or in a low temp oven keeping everything warm whilst you make the rest. Fried eggs should always be made last though or you wont get a runny yolk.

Yep... dried out tinned tomatoes.

Sausages, black pudding and mushroom done in the oven and kept warm. I have a large griddle pan and I cook the bacon on the griddle part of it, and the fried bread on the flat part. Once done, the bacon goes in the oven with the rest to keep warm for a few minutes, and the bread goes on the plate. Then I fry a couple of eggs, put them on the bread, then get the rest out of the oven and dish it up. Oh, and the beans I put in the microwave for 1 minute just as I start the eggs.I think sausages and bacon work best when oven cooked, black pudding and mushrooms fried, tomato grilled and beans in a pan.

Where do you all get your black puddings that look like the size a jam jar lid? I tried some Bury www.buryblackpuddings.co.uk and hated it.
I tried going to a proper butchers but they were not great.
Im used to the ones which when you cut it they are about the size of a £2 coin and come in a thick black covering in a ring like this
Oh and how do you cook yours. My mum always fried it so I cook it the same way but want to try a different way.
