@liuzhou Do you agree a ‘full’ English breakfast must have a portion of Heinz baked beans? 
 

Although my breakfast was pretty tasty, it would have been even better with a serving of good old Heinz baked beans imho.

Hmmm. Mr Heinz's beans are certainly not traditional, not having been invented in America until the beginnings of the 20th century then imported. The Full English has been around from the 17th. However, today beans are nearly always included. I rarely make a FEB (nor do most people) but, when I do, I usually include the beans. Talking of non-traditional, eggs were rarely included either until they becamse cheap in the 20th century, yet no none complains about them. Hash browns, however, should be shunned by any self respecting breakfast plate!

 

For me, the essentials would be back bacon, good pork sausages, black pudding, mushrooms, egg, tomato, toast. In Scotland, where I was partly raised it would also have had Lorne sausage (aka square sausage) and 'fruit pdding'.

 

I rarely eat FEBs now; only partly because I'm no longer in either England or Scotland. I did once approximate it here though - about 20 years ago. Despite China's love affair with pork, I couldn't source the right bacon. Everything else, I got.

soft scrambled eggs w white miso ( Tj's )

 

Impressive you say  ?  

 

 OK,  it was very tasty .

 

white miso has a very interesting taste .  doesn't taste like tofu at all .

 

 

it is quite salty , but it seems a little goes a long way.

 

and it has subtle staying power .

 

try it .

Last night Mrs. C cooked salmon and cabbage with a lovely lemon-cream sauce. Salmon did not survive dinner, but the cabbage, sauce, and an over-easy egg made a nice breakfast.

No photo, but I made some Bob's Red Mill multigrain hot cereal and added chopped up canned apricots (cleaning out the pantry), nutmeg, and cinnamon. Sprinkle of toasted almonds when done, it was really good with the apricots heated up, like eating a cobbler/crumble. If I had any milk it would have been nice to add a drizzle.

Back to Basics. Boiled egg (duck) and toast.

Scrambled eggs with leftover pork loin, the last of the spinach, feta, garlic, and ginger

I asked husband if he wanted the same breakfast as I was making for myself… his answer was ‘never in a million’. What’s wrong with liverwurst on toast with gravy and a boiled egg??

 

[Smithy]

Toasties: sourdough slice, lightly toasted. Spread with Dijon mustard, then a layer of cheese slices. 20 seconds in the microwave. Tomato slices topping it afterward.

 

Accompanied by a Bartlett pear that was about to turn, to my surprise. The outside still felt firm and there wasn't much aroma. Glad I checked it out. Its partner is in the refrigerator.

 

 

This is far more, and far earlier, than I usually eat for breakfast. Now I want to go into a food coma! But I'm waiting on a service call -- which is of course open-ended, both for the start and finish times.

Soft scrambled eggs with onion, half a Habanero, chives, cilantro and Thai basil (perfect level of heat) served with an aloo paratha and black cherry and gold nugget tomatoes.

Home made duck liver pâté on whole wheat toast.

Nice tomatoes are back, not homegrown yet but still if you look in certain shops you can find tasty tomatoes.

[Senior Sea Kayaker]

A 'once a month' breakfast. Eggs with chives, parsley and sriracha, sauteed mushrooms, blood and white sausage, tomatoes and a WW English muffin.

Returned home to a fairly empty fridge, but we had a leftover baked sweet potato. Sauteed onion, garlic, and chiles, and then added panch foran, red Hatch chile powder, and turmeric. Yogurt was moldy so I added half-and-half with the diced sweet potato, reduced the sauce, and finished with S&P and an egg.
