Okay I'm going to lay it down.

1 egg. One. It goes on a whole slice of buttered toast.

2 bacon. They lay on top of the egg.

beans. Enough to cover the slice of toast, egg, and bacon rashers. No more.

Half a tomato to one side, accompanied by mushrooms.

A susage or two to the other side

A couple of slices of toast or fried bread around the edge of the plate to your taste.

Easy, simple, sorted.

It's an acquired taste. It used to be part of the pay packet for butchers, I suppose you could put it as a victory for workers' rights that it no longer is.

DesperateDan posted:

The number of eggs needs to be at least 2, number of sausages (standardised to a generic cumberland size) should be at least equal to the number of eggs. Number of bacon rashers needs to be a minimum of 50% higher than number of eggs. Black pudding is not optional, beans can be replaced or accompanied by boiled, peeled plum tomatoes. Toast is a suitable yet passionless replacement for fried bread. Mushrooms (of the fried with garlic variety, not boiled, boiled? WHAT THE gently caress) and hash browns are acceptable, decent french fried potatoes should also be an option, as should fried mashed potato cakes.

if you are capable of any kind of exertion within an hour or so of eating a full english, you done hosed up
This man gets it. Although the beans are not optional, the tomatoes should be halved and fried (in a hot pan to seal in the juices) rather than boiled, and you can't skimp on the pepper. Jacket potatoes can be substituted for hash browns in extremis. And it should go without saying, but the eggs need to be sunny side up, and if for some reason you use toast in place of fried bread then it had better be lightly done and soaked in butter rather than dry and crunchy.

I agree. All the other items are fine and good, but beans at breakfast are an abomination before God/Allah/Marx.

Beans are out.
Tomatoes must obviously be fried, preferably in the same pan as the rashers and/or sausages (2) so that they take up some of that delicious flavour. A boiled tomato is as wrong as Jeremy Clarkson.
Jacket potatoes? What manner of devilry is this? That's a very extremis indeed.
Toast needs to be just dry enough to be crispy-ish - you can't have soggy toast that flops over like a bad pizza slice. Lots of preferably salted butter.

Beans provide essential fibre in an otherwise greasy meal. They are non-optional.

I dislike beans intensely, so while I recognise that they are a common component of the British fry up I always make sure that they are not on my plate so they don't soak everything in disgusting beany liquid.

Black pudding isn't that bad if you only have a little bit mixed in with a forkful of other, nicer, stuff.

That's why the number of sausages is the exact amount necessary to act as a breakwater between the beans and the other foodstuffs, no more no less.

Black pudding is low in fat, high in iron and protein and as such is a massive slog after a couple of slices, that I will admit. It is still a breakfast essential though.

But my favourite breakfast remains the eggs royale, so I guess I'm destined for the wall either way.

A long time ago, I nipped to the newsagents on my lunch break to pick up a newspaper and there was a guy there in dressing gown and slippers, browsing the porn mags. He was really taking his time too, carefully deliberating on which wank mag would accompany him back to his bedroom.

I was genuinely impressed at how utterly casual he was about the situation.

Normal tomatoes boiled would be an abomination unto jez, im talking the peeled plum tomatoes cooked in their own juices till they thicken up a bit and get an almost pasta sauce style rich umami hit

regular tomatoes should be halved and fried in meatfats as noted previous but with cheap tomatoes this is no bueno as cheap tomatoes are tasteless

If you cook the beans properly so they're nice and claggy this isn't a problem.

I have breakfast with a couple of colleagues every Friday and the place we go always puts a big serving of boiled spinach on the side. Every week we hand back a stack of nice clean plates and a saucer with a big pile of horrible loving spinach on it.
