What's in the ultimate fry-up?

I don't like egg on it's own so I tend to go heavy with the bacon and sausages over everything else. Then there's a few slices of toast, beans, hash browns.

Of course, I also like the sausages and bacon quite "well done". For example the meat in robfosters' pic wouldn't do for me - i'd send it back and ask for it to have a bit longer cooking.
 
For me...

Starter:

Smoked salmon
or smoked mackerel with poached eggs.

Bowl of mixed cereals if I have the chance (usually in a hotel): muesli, granola, bran flakes, cornflakes, rice crispies etc.... with full fat ice cold milk.

Main:

Bacon (crispy, none of this floppy bacon)
Hash browns or potato rosti
Eggs (poached or fried)
Good quality sausages
Mushrooms
Beans
Fried Bread
Black pudding

No sauces whatsoever

Treat:

Pain au chocolat
Croissant
or some other freshly baked pastry

all without jam or butter


Drinks:

Coffee
Freshly squeezed orange juice

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).

Thread title isn't English Breakfast, it's fry-up.
 
Don't know what it's proper name is but I love eggy bread, just bread dipped in egg then fried.....someone will know the name lol.
Crispy Bacon - agree with Freefaller, got to be crispy
Good sausages - I like steak sausages but not fussed as long as they taste good
Lorne sausage (some call it square sausage or sliced)
fried egg
Black Pudding
Thinly sliced steak
Fried Onions.


Slimming lol.

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.

No. No other brown sauces. Even Daddies can gtfo.

Shame the amount is lacking... One sausage FFS? :(

Minimum should be

2 sausages
2 square slice sausage
3 bacon
2 eggs
beans
2 black pudding

Anything else can be added but scrimping on the above is sacrilege

Yep sever lack of carbs, which wrecks a fry up.
It's one reason I hate premier in as much as you can eat fry up. No carbs. Totally unbalances it. You need carbs in a fry up and not just toast.
