fry-up
Full cooked breakfast
A fry-up is a British term for a cooked breakfast featuring fried foods—typically bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast or fried bread, often accompanied by baked beans.
The full English breakfast or full Scottish breakfast are classic examples.
The term emphasizes the cooking method and the hearty, indulgent nature of the meal.
We stopped at a café for a proper fry-up before the long drive.
