There is no comparison between a 'full English breakfast' and an American breakfast.
A full English can vary from place to place, in England, if you get the 'real thing' in England its a large plate containing some sort of black pudding stuff that clings to the plate (and be thankful for that because if you ever get it off the plate it will block your digestive tract for ever) then a slice of bread dipped and fried to cinders in hot fat, a fried egg surrounded with snot, mushrooms from a can , 'plum' tomatoes swirling in some kind of red 'goo', a couple of sausages ? why they are called sausages I don't know, nothing could be further removed from sausage!!
Oh I almost forgot the side plate of 'toast' this is elegantly served up with a little pack of solid frozen 'butter' the toast is thin and also black, I think the idea is to plonk the frozen butter blob onto the toast in case there is any heat left in the toast, this will not only cool the toast down it will also break the thin toast into little atoms to make it more digestible, (it doesn't work)!
Coffee? I'm not even going to mention, a tiny cup with some brown liquid in the bottom, heaven help you if you want a top up of this stuff!!
I almost forgot the 'bacon' two tiny slivers of deep fried fat strips!!!
All this for the bargain price??? of around £5 GBP (approx$10).
You can get all that in America, with the exception of the fatty fried bread and Black pudding stuff, all cooked the way you want it , with continuous 'proper coffee top up's included, for half that price.
But the good news is that since the EU thingy the Brits have moved over to this 'continental thingy' a bit of french bread and little pot of jelly , best to stick to that and go to a 'Big Mac' shop after.

I've never seen a Full English Breakfast offered on a menu at a restaurant anywhere. When we go out to breakfast (or cook at home on the weekends, in my case) we have things like eggs (cooked how you want--scrambled, fried hard, over easy, poached, etc.), bacon, sausage (either link or patties), toast with butter and jelly, coffee, orange juice, milk. Or you could get an omelette (either plain or with other things in it such as onions, green bell pepper, diced ham, etc.) and hash browns (shredded or cubed potatoes that are fried). You can also get biscuits with butter and jelly, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, etc. It really all depends on where you're eating, but most "greasy spoon" type restaurants off all or most of these types of foods. These are the most common American breakfast foods I can think of. They're certainly not served all in one sitting though. A good example would be a cheese omelette, a few strips of bacon, a slice or two of toast and a cup of coffee.

They think they are doing a full English breakfast but it ain't! Typically they don't give a toss for what is really an English/French/Italian/Spanish breakfast. They will just do what they want and you have to lump it or take it. Most of the time, most of it will be still on the plate when you leave. Watch out for the grumpy waitresses.

Hell no. No one from America would dream of eating baked beans with their eggs. They don't know what the heck fried bread is and if they did they would not eat it. They think that baked beans should be mixed with brown sugar and baked in the oven with tons of ham or bacon (american bacon) on it for two hours. They eat it as a side dish. They also make the eggs the way you would like them ordered. Such as you can order your egg to be cooked more than just one way. Over hard, over medium, sunny side up, boiled, scrambled, ect... ect...

In England (where I am an american visiting now) people look at you like you are crazy when you tell them that you want your egg cooked 'over hard'

No they have the so-called full american breakfast and they have pancakes with maple syrup with theirs and they don't have the baked beans.
