English breakfast
A traditional English breakfast generally consists of four elements: egg, tomato, baked beans, and bacon, athough sausages may frequently be included also.
The egg may be scrambled, fried, or boiled; the tomato is typically sliced in half and the exposed side broiled, grilled, or fried; the bacon is of a different, wider cut than US bacon strips, and the beans are baked in a sweetened tomato sauce.
The breakfast may also include an additional meat element; in England and Ireland this might often be a small black pudding; in Scotland it might instead be haggis. Fried mushrooms are an additional optional inclusion.
The term 'English Breakfast' is often referred to as a "Full English."
It is usually accompanied by English Breakfast tea[1], although coffee and orange juice are also possible as an accompanying beverage.
