: : : : : : : Another question from the Brit-coms on PBS: what do you get when someone serves a "full English breakfast"?

: : : : : : The full heart attack on a plate - bacon, sausages, fried eggs, fried bread, tomatoes, mushrooms and anything else there's room for. I go for the vegi-sausage version myself so I'm not an authority, but I get the impression that the full English is easier to find in Ireland these days.

: : : : : You forgot the black and white pudding, and the tinned beans!

: : : : What's black and white pudding? Beans for breakfast?

: : : Believe me, you'd rather not know, and yes, we eat baked beans for breakfast.

: : That will get you going in the morning.

: May I just say: "porridge and kippers"?

These days it seems to be :
fruit juice
the core : bacon, sausage, egg, tomato, mushroom, toast
often baked-beans (+ black-pudding - regional variation) also sometimes includes hash-brown type potato

more toast and preserve/jam/marmalade
coffee/tea

makes one drool.

I noticed that a mini-sausage equivalent to black-pudding is sometimes available in Belgium along with very streaky bacon and scrambled egg. White pudding is a northern addition - from the Borders/Scotland - never encounter it down Sarf.
