full breakfast

Morning cooked spread

A full breakfast is a cooked morning meal featuring multiple components, typically eggs, bacon or sausage, toast, and various sides.

The dish is associated with Britain and Ireland, where regional variations exist: the full English includes baked beans and black pudding, the full Irish adds white pudding, and the full Scottish features haggis.

We woke up early enough to have a full breakfast before hiking.
