Glad to see bubble got another mention. What's the matter with you lilley livered lot? Bubble and squeak fried in the frying pan slop with crunchy bits...
A stack made up in layers of: potato scone, Lorne sausage, fried egg, bacon and hash brown. As many layers as you like. Can have side accompaniment of mushrooms if that's your bag. I don't like black pudding or beans anywhere near my breakfast. If serving flat rather than stacked, soda bread is a happy addition.
3 x bacon cooked so the fat is crispy 3x sausages Fried egg Beans - should be next to sausages Tinned tomatoes - should be next to bacon 2 x hash brown 2 x toast Mushrooms

I could, perhaps, forgive a grilled/fried tomato as an eccentricity. But those who open a tin of tomatoes and pour it all over their plate? Literally makes me sick.
Fiiish and I disagree about more or less everything, but on this I agree. if you have tinned tomatoes and baked beans on a plate the whole shebang becomes a bit of a liquid mess, and everything will simply taste of watery tomato beans, whatever else in on the plate. If you have the lovely yet humble tomato then grill or fry. Tinned tomato with fried food is a crime against food almost as much as milk and a teabag in a cup, with non boiling water added and then served as something purporting to be a cup of tea. WTAF? Incidentally, when it comes to milk in tea (one of the greatest drinks), remember you can always add more, but once in, you can't take it out.
3 rashers of bacon, 3 sausages, 3 black pudding slices, 3 hash browns or potato alternative (refried potatoes, bubble and squeak, croquettes, potato waffles all acceptable) 2 poached eggs, mushrooms with worcester sauce on them, baked beans(spaghetti acceptable) 3 slices of white bread toast with proper salted butter, ketchup, hp sauce and english mustard on the edge of the plate. Accompanied by a glass of orange juice and a mug of strong, sweet tea
An egg or two would be the only absolute, otherwise it wouldn't be a fry-up. Can't stand tomatoes. Any and all of sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding (or French, Spanish or German equivalent), baked beans, chips, onions, gammon, fried bread are allowed.
Edit: not fussed about bubble 'n' squeak either way.
Edit: I like the yoke of my egg broken when the egg goes in the pan and the egg turned half-way through so there's no runny stuff, white or yolk.

I've only had the one heart attack btw!
where about do you buy these down here!
Sainsbury's sell potato scones. They are next to the bagels and they market them as Paul Rankin Potato thins or some such. Waitrose sells Lorna sausage but it isn't great. I buy freezer loads of the stuff any time I'm back in Scotland.

Thanks, I always ask for both whenever we have family visiting.
We have people down far more often than I manage to get up the road.
Fuckers need to start checking in a bag so they can bring me some chippy sauce!

I think they called potato cakes, like these, but not a scratch of a bit of boxty. ( homemade or flown over from Leitrim, Ireland).
I'm late to this (obviously), so just saying I'd eat everything that everyone has mentioned. I'm a little surprised that a few of my favourite ingredients haven't had a mention yet: a nice bit of liver always goes down well with all the other death by frying stuff. Prefer fried bread to toast (always white never brown) and, finally, a coupe of flutes of Champagne to wash it down.
There used to be a cafe in Henley on Thames and they had a menu with four breakfast choices. A mate, nicknamed "the mammoth" used to every day sit down and when the (usually same) waitress came round he'd say 'breakfast please'. Which one she'd reply? All of them he said with a smile.

Legend has it this man still plays up front for us today.
Orange juice (the healthy bit) Mug of coffee Bacon (mandatory) Sausage Beans Mushrooms Tomato (optional) Fried Egg Black pudding White pudding (not always easy to find, but wonderful stuff) Bread and butter - usually to accomodate aforementioned bacon HP sauce - for bangers NOT on the bacon please Appropriate sports supplement
So the 4 or 5 could be:
Orange juice Mug of coffee Bread and butter Bacon (mandatory) Appropriate sports supplement
Aint that just a bacon sandwich?
LOL, yes, the express option :-)
The firm I work for used to have a factory in Gateshead and legend had it that there was a van outside where they pulled the middle out of a bloomer and stuffed it with bacon, bangers and anything else available. There was a Geordie term for it which I don't recall, by all accounts there were people queued round the block for it every morning, sounded marvellous.
Double poached egg on toast Double bacon, sausage & black pudding. Beans in a bowl so the sauce doesn't get everything Mushrooms Homemade bubble & squeak Pot of tea Tomato sauce on the side
There's a lot to be said for eggs Florentine. But the key to a full English is high quality sausages. Without them, forget it. Also, tinned tomatoes are welcome in one breakfast in 10. The breakfast equivalent of Matthias Svennson

One of the best cafes I've been to is in Salford - the name escapes me, real hangover grub
Egg yolk and tomato juices should be mixed together and buttered bread dipped in.
