One essential ingredient of a full Breakfast (English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish)

[pjgtech]

So what is the one ESSENTIAL ingredient for your perfect full (English, Irish, Welsh, Scottish) breakfast?
If that one ingredient is missing, then its simply NOT a full breakfast.

For me its eggs, there must be eggs, not bothered about what sort, fried, scrambled, poached, hard boiled, but some eggs must be included for me.

Vote away....

You appear to have neglected seaweed for the Welsh breakfast

Bubble and squeak

Lol, I knew there would be something!

 

[Bandits11]

Fried bread, a must!

 

[Wing Commander]

A plate. .

 

[That hurts]

It's simply not a breakfast at all without some dead pig on the plate

Hoots Mon, where’s the tattie scones

 

[John M]

Agreed - eggs!

 

[Colesy]

Got to be...decent bacon for me....and plenty of it, not this one or two rashers lark..at least half a dozen.
Cheers
Chris.

I voted sausages. My favorite part of a fry up for some reason. But really you need eggs and bacon as well so any of those 3.

On the rare occasion that I cook a full english it’s a must that Black Pudding is included.
Toby Carvery do an all you can eat for £6.99 at weekends & £6.49 weekdays, but no BP…..
Still a bargain though so I found out on Sunday……

 

[Steveho]

Bacon

 

[mitch21]

Marks and Spencer Sausage Patties
They are gorgeous

 

[Cinimod]

Without the egg you have nothing to dunk anything else in . Must be runny with no egg snot on top though and free range from our own chickens……..do

 

[dot1dog]

Can do without any of the food but my ass not moving until a cup of tea.

There isn't one, that's the point. It's like a sum that's greater than its parts.

What objectively has no place at all on a Full English are pancakes/grits/biscuits or other non-English shite. I'd add chips to that. No chips before noon.

Colcannon/BS is much more subjective and I suggest very regional when it comes to whether it appears as an option.

Everything else is fill your boots, although I know some baulk at the inclusion of hash brown, citing it as a US interloper. Personally, I love 'em.

Fried bread, a must!

Oh, yes. Done in a dripping of some description. If you can get some lamb fat for it (I render down any from any lamb I get and keep it in the fridge) you'll be munching on heaven.

Something not listed but my Irish heritage blessed me with is potato bread (aka farls/scones etc), soda bread and wheaten bread. That with the above and you've got yourself an Ulster Fry.

I’m left thinking this should have been a multi-choice question not a single choice. There’s so much that goes into a good fry-up, dead pig being just one item.
