a truly vital topic , i think you'll find.
now, after a lengthy and in depth discussion at work several items are a given and fairly common to all , even if not consumed  it's acknowledged that the following are essential.

eggs.
bacon.
toast.
fried bread.
tomatoes.
mushrooms.
sausage.

now, and here we have the crux of the matter, the stray items, these are.

beans
hash browns.
black pudding. 

i have a fairly strong,not to say aggressive,  anti bean stance on this issue,tempered by  my pro hash brown leanings, i know it's an americanisation  but i do like them for the nibbly crunch properties.

as for beans, it's unacceptable for them to be paraded  as a breakfast item,beans are tea-time.when,may i ask, did the shift take place? there they were the undisputed king of tea-time toast,novel and appetizing refinements were made  over the years, grated cheese on top, maybe a poached egg, and there they should have stayed.

 i think it best, not to probe too greatly into the properties of black pudding, it's dried blood,i don't pick and eat my scabs, therefore will not entertain the  idea of black pudding on my brekkie platter.

Oh you're such a wuss!    Black pudding (Scottish, not English which has big cubes of fat in it) is essential in my favourite cooked breakfast - even the odd bit of haggis at times.  I like beans too, and sausage and tattie scone .... too many things to have in one fry really.  I am now planning a Sunday fry....

White pudding is quite cool * taps nose * i understand it's made of guts.


White pudding?  Nah, fook knows what it's got in it, it's kinda fruity.  Trad has some animal fat in it but you can get veggie versions.


Having said that, breakfast should be black coffee and nothing else.  Anyone who disagrees should be tortured with malice.

When I was in West Ireland recently, I was excited to find I was offered a Full Irish Breakfast at the hotel I was staying at.  Now, I've had a Full English Breakfast so I know what that is all about, the issues here notwithstanding, so I thought I was venturing into some new territory.  Not so! It was like a Full English, only served in Ireland.  Possibly with Irish sausage, whatever that might be.  What's that all about?

baked beans worked their way into the full english breakfast when breakfast got
re-routed to brunch   

in our house if we have full english for breakfast then NO beans - if it is for brunch then maybe we add beans or spaghetti [ waits for jacksons reaction ]

what about good old porridge - that should be on the must have breakfast list too - not healthy to have fried every day

The essential fried brekkie:-

2 sausages
2 rashers (cooked so there's still a bit of floppiness to them, ie not crispy critters)
fried egg (or scrambled egg if it's a hotel/B&B type situation)
fried tomato
white pudding (i believe you don't have this in the UK )
A slice of Brennan's batch loaf to soak it all up

All other items are non essentials and should be added to an evening fry-up only
