Near perfect, but to fry the eggs use lots of oil in the pan so you con flick it or spoon it on top of the egg to stop the white from becoming snotty, foreign hash browns have become incorporated over the years.

Everything should be fried. Bacon should be back bacon. HP sauce is essential.

Amazing Stuff. Brown sauce can be the only sauce, after all this recipe is traditionally English.

Hash browns and baked beans are for an Americanized version. Where are the kidneys?

Use the grill juices to fry the bread. It has all the flavor.

I really miss full English breakfast. Enjoyed it every day each time I was fortunate enough to visit Great Britain. The best was at a bread and breakfast I stayed at near Birmingham. This recipe sounds delicious!

Ouch. That's way too much food for me for breakfast. I prefer something lighter like oats or toast. Maybe in my younger days, I could get away with it. Looks tasty though.

OMD (oh my days) this is the best breakfast you can ever have. Just reading the recipe makes my mouth water and it's even better when it gets on to your taste buds. It just explodes and when you're finished, you'll keep on asking for more. God bless English breakfast :')

Full English can be so many things to so many people but either way it is a great start to the day. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper!

I suggest you pan fry bacon. Black pudding cut to 1.5cm is a little small, use sea salt and black pepper. H.P. sauce is not the only one - try others.

Black pudding is the greatest. Skip the foreign hash browns. Add fried bread.

Give me two fried eggs, two sausages, two rashers, hash browns, fried bread and a scoop of beans. I'll skip the puddings. Serve it to me now please.

Black pudding is ewwww. tomoatoes ruin it.... good recipe... BUT I thought another name for a full english was a fry up... and the only things you fried are the bread and the shrooms and eggs... surely the bacon / sausages should be fried too??
As for sauce... has to be HP...fallen in love with the BBQ flavoured one yum...
For tea is has to be PGtips... don't care what anyone says... they been voted the nations favourite so you can't argue with that!
Anyway, I living in Germany as an Au PAir and going to have an English means day... this is deff for breakfast :D

After having read all these comments, I have now planned my New Years day wake up call for me and my lovely man - 3 sausages each, 3 bacon, beans, thick white toast, runny eggs and as much tea as our hangovers can cope with (don't think our tesco metro do black pudding!)- can't wait! Although I am English, this is a once a year treat for me - wouldn't be able to move otherwise!

My husband is from Britain and we have this quite often. Fantastic breatfast!!! I too thought the beans with breakfast thing was strange, but now I am sooooo addicted to Heinz Beans!!!! I love them on toast and over a jacketed potato (the British term for baked potato)and cheddar cheese. And thats the thing, it HAS to be HEINZ baked beans!!! And you CAN NOT find them in the states unless you find them in certain stores that carry imported goods such as World Market or Giant Eagle grocery stores. You may pay $1.80 or more for a can of beans, but its so worth it!! I live one hour from Pittsburgh, the home base of the Heinz company. You would think they would market this product over here! Maybe this isnt the same Heinz company..... Does anyone know? Heinz Beans!!! YUM!!!!!!!

Since when have hash browns been a part of an English Breakfast? Here are my essentials.
3 quality sausages
3 rashers smoked bacon
2 eggs, sunny side up
fried mushrooms
tinned tomatoes
baked beans
cheap white fried bread
HP or Chop sauce (nothing else will do)
Brick red tea from chipped mug (Yorkshire Tea)
Extra white bread for 'mopping up'
1 dressing gown
1 pair slippers
1 copy of red-top newspaper
Kaboom. Saturday morning 9well, lunchtime) all sorted out.

Bread should be fried, and the tomato can be swapped for fried tinned tomato.
Twinnings English Breakfast Tea is acceptable, as is Yorkshire. PG Tips/Typhoo/Tesco Value Teabags are UNACCEPTABLE.

Where do you think the standard American ham and eggs came from - think about it - The beans are not the same as any baked beans in America, I know I live in the USA and have to buy them at world market. It is a wonderful breakfast but not healthy. I am also broadminded enough to enjoy other nations breakfasts on their own merit without judging before trying.

I Love Full English but now live in "Everything healthy but for the candy bars" America...and have yet to find anywhere in new england that makes them (and I have looked believe me). I love the 'All fried together' type by Jamie Oliver but hate the black pudding (too salty for me), if anyone knows anywhere in N.E that makes a wicked fry up then i'd be grateful to know where, i already have to accept second rate fish and chips, no yorkshire puddings, ham for christmas dinner, no brown sauce but for that ethnic isle (yes you heard correct, we are considered ethnic over here - at last we have coulture ;-) )

All i can say is each to their own, personally i think the full english breakfast has got to be one of the best foods known to me, it's filling and tasty but also not to forget it's fattening so like a chocolate bar it shouldn't be eaten too often...
As for an "All Day Breakfast" in a tin, Why eat processed food? it's much more satisfying when you're eating something you have made yourself... If you're too lazy to do this, go to a cafe pay a couple of quid and enjoy the results, I agree with lobee to miss out the hash browns.. and if you don't like brown sauce try tomato ketchup... daddies brown sauce is too runny for me so i prefer to stick to HP..

The English Breakfast used to be eaten by pretty much everyone, not just lorry drivers and builders,that is just a recent thing.It was particularly enjoyed by the upper classes who had the time to enjoy such a large breakfast every morning,but also eaten by factory workers,farmers,office workers anyone.We didn't have cereal in the old days.
Plus leave out the hashbrowns that is definitely an American thing, but add in fried bread or toast. Oh and the brown sauce has to be a brand called Daddies.
