I can see this turning into a quantity v quality battle. I'm debating which to go for this weekend, probably quantity biggrin

It's an interesting point about what goes into a full English. Eggs, sausage and bacon are a given, but after that do you have to have beans or a tomato? Even more suspect is any sort of potato ???? I should have done a university study in it, at least I would have been a well fed student then.

Potatoes have no place on an English beakfast plate.

I like that, though needs more brown "hair" for the face. I'm hungry now.

Is it only me who still likes rind on bacon? I guess it comes from me being old and my mum always buying slices actually sliced at the butched from the tied up round joint on the bacon slicer.

I concur. An American habit.

Agreed. Damn good though, I must say. I believe beans have no business whatsoever on the breakfast plate. My fry up (ideally) makes no apologies for not being truly british, but goes a little like this:

Bacon, 4 rashers, with rind, smoked, fried until fat browns.
Sausages, 3 x cumberland, browned.
Mushrooms, 2 x big ones, flash fried.
Tomato, 1, fried with the shrooms.
Eggs, 2 x fried in the gunk from bacon, sausages etc. Runny yolk, a bit of 'residual stuff' on the white.
Forgive me now, but, American 'country-style' hash browns. These are the ones comprised of grated potato in a heap.
Brown sauce.
Toast on the side. Buttered.

I'm pretty much with you except the bacon should be smoked middle, not keen on fried toms and find it barely credible you forego black pudding for some grated spud having agreed such tubers have no place on a full English! biggrin

I agreed no such thing! Or, if I did, I'd like to re-phrase my menu title to Pap-oo-ess-ey breakfast. See what I did there? Genuis.

No. Next!

Cheeky bugger. It is back, grilled 'til just done (I can't see the point in grilling bacon into Frazzles). Removing the rind took off the customary fatty end-bit, but I figured "fk it, I've got four".

Is a valid and important question.

Yes, tea. Coffee doesn't cut through the grease well enough for me.
