English breakfast

Full cooked morning

A traditional morning meal associated with Britain, typically featuring eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, toast, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

The full English breakfast is hearty and hot, distinguishing it from lighter continental alternatives: We skipped the pastries and ordered English breakfasts.

Often called a fry-up.
