First, Hash Browns at the instant are not and characteristic never been an element in a suited English Breakfast. they're an import from usa. very outstanding they're yet basically interior the spectacular place. 1st Baron Beaverbrook must be a mix of back and streaky and is maximum suitable grilled. it relatively is going to be bordering on the crisp yet no longer shatter on the touch of the knife. Mushrooms must be fried in oil until eventually nicely soaked and commencing as much as bypass brown on the white side and the backside ought to now look jet black. Sausages must be grilled yet do no longer prick them because of the fact the fat will run out and the interior won't cook dinner correct. Then a slice or 2 of nicely fried black pudding. do no longer forget the grilled or fried sparkling tomatoess and a slice of deep fried bread. To suitable it each and every of the fundamental element is two fried eggs. they must be fried in lots of oil so as that the white does no longer seize and bypass crisp and brown on the sides,The white must be white and oily and the yolk achieved so as that the exterior is organization over it however the interior remains runny to dip the fried bread in it. Baked beans additionally are an non-compulsory greater suitable, yet they must be Heinze.Brown sauce or tomatoe ketchup served on the side if needed. this is now 15.10hrs and basically typing this has made me wait for breakfast the following day. while serving there must be no extra grease on the plate. The plate ought to look sparkling and freed from the different beverages

Answer 3

An English breakfast these days for a lot of people is a cup of coffee and a ciggy. Too busy to eat.
Most people have toast, cereal and some drink i.e coffee, tea, juice.
I haven't had anything yet, but I know there's some bacon in the fridge so will have a bacon butty for breakfast.
And I suppose you tend to have something hot in winter like porridge or something cooked, egg, beans, cheese on toast etc.

Answer 4

The full English breakfast is tricky to prepare, cholesterol on a plate and probably only eaten at weekends or when on holiday.
Most English people grab a cup of tea, some toast and marmalade and run for the bus. If they have time they might indulge in a bowl of cornflakes or bird food - known in England as Muesli. (Genuine Muesli is a completely different thing).
Me? A cup of green tea. Don't eat breakfast, it wakes up my digestive system. If I eat breakfast I'm hungry by mid-day and still want dinner at night.

Answer 5

I eat breakfast at breakfast. This morning I had Oatabix (oat equivalent to weetabix as I am wheat intolerant) with Soya milk and fresh strawberries. In the winter I have porridge made with soya milk and a teaspoonful of honey.

Some English people are weird (like myself) and eat Super Noodles for Breakfast or a packet of crisps. Its called a very "unhealthy diet" and is typical of most people in Britain :o)
