Mushrooms were missing. These can be button mushrooms, served hole, or with the storks snapped off & cooked separately, or finely sliced, alternatively you sometimes see one or even two large flat mushrooms, again with stalks on or snapped off, but still served. You need a large oblong platter if you start adding flat mushrooms. Other alternatives in the potato department are good old British chips or sauteed potatoes. You usually serve a full English Breakfast with toast on the side.

I'm a couple of generations older( in my 10th decade). I still consider the British breakfast dish that is most distinctly "British" is the Kipper (whole smoked Herring dyed or undyed). Unfortunately due to over fishing in the early '70s they disappeared for a while and never regained their popularity. I Haven seen them as an option for a "Scottish Breakfast" with Loch Fyne Kippers. Alternative "Breakfast" fish are Smoked Mackerel or a Kedgeree. Other breakfasts fallen out of favour are Devilled Kidneys. During the War, before my Callup, I worked as Directed Labour on the Railways. My 1st day on the Footplate ( the dark of Winter '44) I was sworn not to use one highly polished shovel for coal. Back in a siding that shovel was heated, wiped with a greasy cloth ( fats and oils were in short supply) and Kippers, Soya links and Bread (all unrationed) were flash fried, and eaten with Fruit/Brown Sauce washed down with tea from the steam bleed valve. When we could we would get Eggs and Piggy bits from Pig clubs (all very controlled).

Ideally, you need toast and jam/marmalade to follow, with a big mug of tea (coffee at a push).

Consistently our US visitors who blog their first British breakfast all taste the items individually. Most of us would use the fried bread as a platform on the fork to aid in loading a mouthful of numerous tastes, egg, sausage, black pud, beans, mushroom all with a smear of brown sauce. It's the combinations of flavours that makes it great...

Slightly related: my wife taught me to fry just one side of each of the two pieces of bread for a bacon sandwich towards the end of frying the bacon, using the bread to soak up the excess fat in the pan, before making the sandwich with the fried sides on the inside. This creates both a soft bite on the outside of the bread and a fatty crunch on the inside to add a great texture and flavour to the sandwich.

The square sausage is also known as Ulster slices! I remember them as being the colour of children’s sandals. Bright red! You have them with potato farls (aka potato cakes). Maybe that’s a tattie scone? You can buy potato farls in Sainsbury’s, Tesco and M&S. You can fry them in the pan to soak up the mushroom and fried tomato flavours but you can also cook them in the toaster, add a teeny bit of butter and top them with a poached or fried egg. If you make them yourself, they won’t fit in the toaster! Some people fry sliced, cold potatoes left over from the day before. Irish soda bread - with butter and Dundee marmalade. (Dundee - famous for jute, jam and journalism (particularly comics) … Seville oranges came over as ballast in a ship from Spain and the lady who owned the ship supposedly made jam out of them so as not to waste them. The rest is history!) M&S used to sell Canadian bacon years ago. It was terrific. Sweet and smokey and stripey. Brown sauce - only with a hot bacon sarnie on plastic white bread. But ketchup is nice with that too. Maybe brown sauce also with Cornish pasties. Or a hot sausage roll. And football stadium pies. Branston pickle always with cheese. There’s been a shortage of Heinz baked beans as the makers put the price up by a > third for Tesco and Tesco wouldn’t buy them for a fortnight.

Hashbrowns and baked beans were American inventions, and only became part of the British breakfast fairly late in the day. When I grew up in the 1960s and 70s, I never associated them with a "Full English", and I saw my first hashbrown in a London branch of Macdonalds in the mid/late 1980s. When I was young, the closest thing to baked beans were fried tomatoes, and we had, not hashbrowns, but "bubble and squeak". This is basically a mixture of boiled/mashed potatoes, cabbage and other cooked vegetables typically left over from a roast dinner, fried until the inside is piping hot and the outside is crisp, crunchy and golden brown. Delicious with HP Sauce!

HASH BROWNS AND WAFFLES do not belong on a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST,NO NO NO

They're not confident with using the cutlery the English way. It's hard to stack up different foods on your fork if you're not holding and using either the fork or knife the right way. The Americans use the knife only to cut and then pick up the food with the tines facing up. They don't use the knife to push the food onto the fork. Very inefficient by comparison.

The trick is to cut a square of fried bread and stack it with a slice/section of each thing on your plate. Then put your fork through and and put it all in your mouth at once.

I think black pudding is made from pigs blood,absolutely delicious.🐖

For people watching who haven’t tried Black Pudding. The knowledge that it’s made with blood as a component, often provokes a negative reaction to even trying it, never mind eating it. Commercially produced Black Pudding, uses dried blood, in powder form, although I appreciate there may be Artisan Producers who might retain ‘old school’ methods, whatever they were. For those possibly still feeling queasy at the thought of having to eat something containing real blood. Just think of a juicy steak cooked rare, or medium rare, that will definitely leave blood drips on your plate, although I’m sure that won’t detract from your enjoyment of the meal, or the thought of eating it. With regard to this video, once again another lovely segment of your U.K. trip - more to come, I hope! 😀

Fried mushrooms, and fried tomatoes are common also, but you hit a lot of the top favourites. Being Scottish I LOVE the Lorne Sausage, and I especially LOVE Potato Scones - one of my most favourite things. Whenever I return to Scotland, one of my first stops is at a brekkie place for a Scottish morning roll, filled with Lorne Sausage, Black Pudding, Potato Scone, fried egg, and slathered in HP Brown Sause. HP Brown Sauce is definitely the best in my humble opinion. So glad you enjoyed your trip "over the pond" to the UK, and that you got outside of London. Well Done guys !!

Eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, Beans with buttered toast washed down with a latte 😋 Good old Wetherspoons breakfast 👌

You'll have to try white pudding next time. It's got no blood. And add some Worcestershire sauce or tabasco to the beans. A lot of English brekkies have fried mushrooms also.

A Full English tends to be something that people have in cafes (often for lunch) to save the time and hassle of cooking it and washing up. A lot of places will put on grilled tomatoes (of which I am not normally a fan and tend to ask them to leave off), mushrooms and toast and butter. Hash browns are a relative newcomer to the UK. Sometimes the baked beans are served in a separate ramekin which I prefer (I hate it when they soak into the toast). Usually cafes will have a core breakfast then additional extras you cab add on for an extra cost. I am a brown sauce person as well. I tend to put the fried egg(s) (with brown sauce) on top of the buttered toast to have something to soak up the yolk after the egg is cut and then load my fork with some of that with a piece of sausage (also with brown sauce), bacon and mushroom, then follow up with beans (also with brown sauce). Best eaten with a strong cup of tea. Increasing you see many of the ingredients in breakfast sandwiches from cafes and sandwich shops (my usual take out on this theme being a bacon, sausage, ,egg and mushroom 'mega sandwich' with brown sauce, which is generously filled and at £6 (~$7.50) pretty good value, I feel). Hope that you enjoy you trips to the UK, guys. Here in Yorkshire we're not really as grumpy and taciturn as we often like to pretend (well some of us are, but in general). 🙂

Salt on the eggs, black pepper on everything else with two slices of bread and butter rounded off by slurping a cup of tea throughout.

Full English: 2 sausage, 2 bacon bacon, fried tomatoes, fried mushroom, baked beans, fried bread or toast , eggs (scrambled, fried or poached), hashbrown optional, black pudding optional. Bread and butter to mop up the plate, served with orange juice and tea or coffee. Best breakfast in the world

U guys are pleasant to watch.

Best way to ear Black Pudding is fry sausages, then smoked bacon in fat or oil once they have been cooked then, fry the black pudding in the fat for it to absorb the flavour of the sausages and bacon. Also fry the black pudding long enough for it to be crispy around the edges. When this has been done fry the mushrooms and potatoes of choice. I Originally it was not beans and did not Inclued hash-browns, these are a much later addition. Originally it was a tin of tomatoes cooked last, reduce the fat out of the frying pan to about one or two table spoons full and fry the tomatoes in it...again adds flavour. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve. The fried bread or toast was there to absorb the tomato sauce with the meal. The potatoes where sometimes added and would be onions cooked slowly to make them sweeter boil some potatoes then pour out some of the fat or oil friy both together in the fat again absorbing the flavours. The sequence would be pre pair the potatoes and onion and boil the potatoes while fry the meats add to plate and put somewhere to keep worm. Then do the egg, do the black pudding, drain much if the fat off and fry the bread bread letting it absorbed the flavours,. Sometimes you can cook to together other times separate and if too much fat drain off into a container to add to the pan when needed. Now add the onions and empty the water from the potatoes and add to the frying pan and onions and fry breaking the potatoes and allow to become cirsp and brown around the edges and turning. Finally you add the tin of tomatoes which ducks up all the flavours and wny potato helps thicken the juices. Pubs and cafes brought in hash browns in the late 70s or 80s when they became common I'm the UK and caught on quickly because they were quicker and easier, as where baked beans cooked in a separate pan. .

I love tattie scones, I have them on a buttered roll. I you’re heading to Scotland, try a roll with square sausage.

Looks good to me. So many variants on Full English breakfast. Not too mention Irish and Scottish fry ups. When we will be in London I look forward to bubble and squeak added on.

Looks a good,tasty selection,though I’d have the traditional bubble and squeak (instead of hash browns),and mushrooms and fried tomatoes on mine😋

Ooh maybe next time!

Black pudding is a distinct regional type of blood sausage originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is made from pork or beef blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, usually oatmeal, oat groats, or barley groats. The high proportion of cereal, along with the use of certain herbs such as pennyroyal, serves to distinguish black pudding from blood sausages eaten in other parts of the world.[1] Well that's what Wikipedia says, right or wrong.

I remember getting some sort of Square sausage in a Cracker Barrel in Buford Georgia and was surprised to see it.

Just watching this has made me long for a full English - even though it’s dinner time. Sadly, I don’t have the ingredients right now lol Will usually have mushrooms with mine - and fresh tomatoes in half. Personal preference is scrambled eggs (preferably ultra naughty by making with butter & double cream). Haven’t had fried bread in a long time. Before 'hash browns' were common, often had potato left over from the day before fried up. Once stayed in a b&b in the Lake District that must’ve done their fried bread in a deep fat fryer - very golden and crunchy and probably a heart attack on its own!

I have just been to London and had a few English breakfasts. Always had to ask for the brown sauce.

My mouth was watering as the breakfast looked so delicious, apart from the potato waffles, which I've never seen before on a full English breakfast, but as someone said below, there are many varieties of items that go into or onto a plate of full English breakfast, so I guess they may be considered a staple of the dish in some parts of the UK. One thing you should look out for, especially in the north of England on your travels is Faggots. They are seasoned meat balls, and they are delicious. Usually served with mashed potato, peas, and gravy. You might have to do your research and find out where to buy them. I don't meant the Brain's Faggots that you buy ready cooked in a freezer shop such as Iceland, but you should be able to get hold of them fresh and cook them yourselves, or go out to eat somewhere that has them on the menu. No idea where, exactly, as I don't believe they're common all over the UK.

The 'Full English' (as we often shorten it to) generally has staple ingredients that you'll find on every dish, which include sausage, (toast) bread, bacon, hash browns and tomatoes. Anything is normally by way of choice, and if you order one when you're out then again generally you're given lots of choice 😃 It's considered a tradition rather than, say, a well-planned/sophisticated meal. A full English can be a very personal thing by way of ingredients and, if well prepared, is often a 'treat' purely because it is dripping in fat! For the less health conscious, it can be a weekly ritual.

You all look good. I like hearing the baby in the background of this video.

People saying mushrooms are missing 🤮 A full English should simply have: 2-3 sausages 2-3 bacon 1-2 fried/poached eggs some black pudding ½ tin of baked beans optional things that are nice/extra.. 1-2 buttered toast 1-2 hash browns some people have fried/tinned tomatoes but to me they're also 🤮 😂

Hash browns and any kind of waffle aren't a part of a true English breakfast for a traditionalist, but of course there's nothing wrong with including those if you like them. Why not? We only ever got potatoes included when they were left over from the previous day and fried up, sometimes with leftover vegetables, (especially cabbage) when it becomes bubble and squeak. (And that's absolutely delicious). I'd never serve tinned chopped tomatoes. It's a halved, fried tomato for me or not at all, but again a matter of choice. If you get your fried breakfast in Northern Ireland it'll be an Ulster Fry and if you go south of the border of course it's always a full Irish. As always I admire you guys for your 'go ahead and try it all' attitude. Not everyone can do that!

That tatty scone would be called a potato cake around some of northern England and they can vary in shape,they’re made with flour and some mash potato then flattened and shaped into a circle and slowly fried in a frying pan until they become slightly crispy and browned on both sides. You tend to eat them warm and spread loads of butter on them they’re well tasty as a bit of a snack.You’re right about the bacon being the same taste the difference being streaky bacon has more fat and tends to crisp up a lot more and back bacon has more meat on it but can become a bit dry and tough if overcooked also they both come smoked or unsmoked but both are nice either way.

I like an Arbroath Smokie for breakfast which is smoked fish.People have Kippers as well which is similar.

missing mushrooms and the best way to eat a full english is take a bit of everything on the fork and dip it in the egg yolk then try and fit it all in at once :)

3 rashers bacon , 2 fried eggs , 2 slices of good Black pudding , 6/7 button mushrooms fried in butter , 2 slices fried bread fried in the bacon fat and to make it proper kidneys fried up with the mushrooms , served with a big dollop of Branston Pickle..

You need to go to a proper greasy spoon cafe to experience an authentic full ENGLISH breakfast. If you’re ever in the Ashford Kent area message me and I will treat you to one!

We might be the Kent area later in the year. So, maybe. 😁

I’m vegetarian and the only food I really miss is black pudding. They do a veggie version but it’s just not the same.

you passed the brown sauce test...well done

This is a weird Anglo-American hybrid. There are no mushrooms for example

If you return to London and you have pie and mash there are not many pie and mash shops left. Do not use the big pie and mash shop in Greenwich...It is for tourists! There is an original pie and mash shop in Tooting(south London) called Harrington's. It is absolutely first class and it does not cost the earth. I lived near Tooting for years and it was always nice to go there on a Saturday morning and have double pie,mash and liquor,then you only add some white pepper and hey presto you have a delicious meal. The mash is a bit lumpy and the pies look flat. But do not be deceived! This food is absolutely first class. Enjoy. Peace,Love and Unity 🙏

I was stationed with a lot of Scottish chaps many years ago; the argument in our mess hall wasn't about red or brown sauce but rather brown or salad cream...

you need to try HP Fruity Sauce. the best breakfast sauce. I would add mushroom, but other than that it looked amazing!

You can get white pudding, which is black pudding but without blood in it.

Fried mushrooms, bubble and squeak, white pudding 👍

Waffles have never been part of any Full English I’ve had, & mum always made a potato/onion type patty, her mum used to make her. Occasionally, you’ll see bubble n squeak, but I think that’s a London thing. Brown sauce & Black pudding always.

Yes, Yes, Yes A pleased you picked brown sauce 🤣🤣🤣

I love full English/Scottish but down here square sausage is hard to get

I love to have square sausage and back bacon on a roll for breakfast occasionally. A full English/Scottish is not something I have all that often but now really want! 😂

You have the toast after the full English, spread with butter and marmalade or honey or jam whichever is your preference.

Love your Vids Guys......putting a comment before i watch it.....because what ever you have put on "your English" breakfast will be be wrong lol.....we are weird in the UK for "our" British breakfast

For a minute there I thought you said 'soaked up bin juice' 🤣 Imagine soaking up your tattie scone in that!

It’s square sliced sausage. Iconic.

I take it you have been told the ingredients of black pudding? I love it!!
