I can remember Aunt Kate fixing my father and me my first English Fry-Up on a Saturday morning before we went food shopping for my weekend cooking lesson. I was like you expect me to eat all that food. And guess what I ate every bit of it and asked for more. Aunt Kate laughed so hard she almost fell off her chair. Then she explained what a traditional English Full breakfast is and the difference between the English version versus the Scottish, Irish, and Cornish versions. No matter what version you get, all of them are scrumptious.
What’s in a Full English Breakfast?
Often called a “fry-up,” this classic meal features a
delicious mix of breakfast staples.
Picture eggs, bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms. You might also find hash browns or black pudding on your plate. Don’t forget the buttered toast! Pair it with steaming mugs of tea or coffee for the perfect start to your day and let us not forget fresh juice, orange, or Apple Juice.
Why Is It Called a "Full English"?
The term “full” highlights the breakfast's variety.
Typically enjoyed on weekends, it offers more than a weekday meal. Much like US
brunch, this feast often takes place later in the day.
What’s the Difference Between Irish, English, and Other
European Breakfasts?
Each UK region adds its own twist:
- Full Irish swaps buttered toast for soda bread.
- Full Scottish features flat potato scones and haggis.
- Full Cornish includes hog’s pudding and potato cakes.
