British traditional breakfast


What is the traditional English breakfast?
The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Even though not many people will eat this for breakfast today, it is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain.

The traditional English breakfast is called the 'Full English' and sometimes referred to as 'The Full English Fry-up'. But depending on where it is served, it is called bacon and eggs, a fry, a fry up, The Great British breakfast, a full English breakfast, a full Irish breakfast, a full Scottish breakfast, a full Welsh breakfast or an Ulster fry. The complement of the breakfast varies depending on the location and which of these descriptions is used.

But Full English Breakfast has seen its last dawn, market researchers have announced.
Fry-up, as it was affectionately known to those who found calorific comfort in its fried bacon, sausage, mushroom, eggs and tomato - could not survive in the modern world.
According to Datamonitor, notoriously unhealthy Fry-up was killed by a flurry of activity. Britons are increasingly busy in the mornings and Full English was just too "time consuming to prepare".
There are even lots of news of different kinds of newspapers, broadcasters or magazines on science and health which include different articles about the health problems caused by too much fat and so on.
But what would be a visit to London or any other British place without tasting, at least for once in a lifetime, a Fry-up? Do it! Then compare ingredients, quantities, flavours, recipes, ... and decide if you like it or not.
