    Maggies in Lewisham does a great fry up.

    Agreed.

    One of the best cafes I've been to is in Salford - the name escapes me, real hangover grub

    2 fried eggs, tinned tomatoes with juices, 1 pork sausage, 2 rashers of bacon, mushrooms, 1 slice fried bread, 1 slice buttered bread, 1 slice of toast. Cup of tea.

    Egg yolk and tomato juices should be mixed together and buttered bread dipped in.

    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.

    I've only had the one heart attack btw!

    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.

    Baked Beans ... Hash Browns (x3) ... Sausages (x3) ... Bacon (x3) ... Fried Eggs (x2)

    Hash browns out of a packet are the devil's work.

    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.

    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.

    If there's no black pudding, it's not a fry up.

    In practice normally have 4-5 of the following:

    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.

    Quality thread.

    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

    I could eat that right now

    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
