What's in the ultimate fry-up?

From a US perspective, sirloin steak, or chicken-fried steak with gravy (ungghhhhh heart attack), home fries.

And replace a few dots of tabasco for a slathering REAL MAN style :p

So what? It's delicious. White pudding, black pudding, haggis. All lovely in a fry up!

e: Ignore, I thought we were discussing white pudding. I'm not so sure about fruit pudding.

White pudding is great, and a decent black pudding is also great (though they are a rare thing - especially in the pub fry-up), but fruit pudding is pure heavy bogging pal.

Oh my god. That's by far the most perfect meal in the world.

Chicken fried steak, white sauce and mash is immense. I did lol at "Chicken fried Chicken" just down on the menu. Is this a US wide dish then? I thought it was just in Texas.

Great, especially drowned in maple syrup with sausage patties, bacon and egg. Dunno if they're fry up material though... May have to investigate further over the Christmas break.
 
Fruit pudding must be included! Aside from smoked streaky bacon it's the best bit of a Scottish fry up :p Lorne sausage too and rowies.

Strange though, it depends of what part of Scotland you are from clearly as I've always had fruit pudding in fry ups not white pudding. White pudding is lovely but I always have whole white pudding cooked in a pan of mince, never in a fry up.
 
Gilly has pretty much hit the nail on the head in his first post, though I'd add pancakes with maple syrup on a side plate with the bacon on top of it. It sounds so wrong, but it tastes so right.
 
I'd have everything in the op in my ultimate breakfast fry up, apart from anything from the carb or sauces sections, mind you, I wouldn't say no to a sprinkle or 2 of Worcestershire sauce.
 
Two poached eggs on fried bread.
Two slices of black pudding.
One plain, but good quality English sausage.
Two rashers of good quality English dry cured bacon.
Some sauteed mushrooms.
A warmed tinned tomato (no liquid).

Beans are wrong and so are hash browns / waffles (though I am a fan of them they have no place in an English breakfast).

I can't top that. It has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't.

Maybe more bacon and less egg.

On the subject of sauces, should other brown sauces be acknowledged? The point being, HP is the only brown sauce, but if you go to a cafe you'll get a brown sauce that more resembles Daddie's and some people do prefer that slightly sweet taste...

And I have seen a grown man put bbq sauce on fried food, which I disagree with :D

Edit: and I've been craving liver since I started this thread.
