Hard to beat the Full English that sticks to the irrefutable laws of breakfasts (that I made up) as follows:

At least two sausages, maybe three if you're gluttonous or have done/will be doing some manual labour within a week.

Two rashers of bacon, not underdone but not so crisp it breaks your teeth. Bit of fat on, but never streaky, you're not Canadian.

Two fried eggs, lovely crack of black pepper over the top of them at the table. Poached allowed only if you're at a fancy place, in which case why aren't you ordering Eggs Benedict, you heathen? You don't belong in a place like this. Scrambled allowed only if you're a lorry driver or roofer. Boiled egg (yes I've seen it)? Have a word with yourself. Any place that overcooks the eggs should be added to your personal blacklist.

One ladle of baked beans. No cup, no side bowl and never placed directly next to the egg.  Use the sausage as a breakwater (Aha!)

Half a grilled tomato. If you're from Burton on Trent and use tinned tomatoes, for the love of God take a trip to somewhere more cultured. Like Derby. If you're from Swad and call it "Splash", go to Burton first. Take a long look in the mirror if you question the inclusion of the tomato, order it but leave it on the side of your plate, or worst of all try to swap it out for more beans.

One grilled portobello mushroom, no extra accoutrements like parsley or herby butter thank you very much.

One thick slice of quality black pudding. Enjoy all that iron and try not to think what's in it. Get it from Bury if you can.

One slice of thickly cut toast and butter OR Fried Bread. Never both, you bleeding carb loader you.

No hash browns, no tomato ketchup (use the beans you moron), and no poncey additions of token salad leaf. This isn't healthy, don't try and pretend it is. Brown sauce for the sausage and bacon if you consider yourself Northern.

Do not order if outside of England, else expect delights such as cucumber and cress (Amsterdam), cured ham (Spain) and pickled onions (Copenhagen) to adorn your plate.

If I'm making it I just have Cocoa Pops instead.

 

Hey, I’m from Burton on Trent. ?

Can’t beat a Bacon Splash!

Agree the (fried not grilled) bacon has to have some decent fat but not streaky.

And the tinned tomatoes must be cooked in the frying pan of the leftover bacon juice (that’s the secret ?)

All held together between two slices of doorstep thick crusty white bread. 

Add brown sauce to finish if you like, but definitely not ketchup. 

Perfection ?

Can be eaten at breakfast or any time of the day ?

I knew the name of it but wasn't sure if I could mention it because perhaps there are rules on here about advertising, but as you are now a mod I guess it must be 'OK' ! ☺️

He's new to the job.  He'll have absolutely no idea what the rules are!
