A cooked breakfast in a Cornwall usually has white pudding too. I love it. But I do like black pudding too.
My perfect full English would be egg, bacon, sausage and mushrooms. I'd be very happy to have white or black pudding added but neither is a must have. I quite like hash browns but absolutely not to baked beans or tinned tomatoes. I could manage a fresh grilled tomato but I would really rather not.
I quite like the idea of a full English breakfast being fairly flexible that way it can cover all tastes and appetites, you can have your eggs scrambled, fried or poached, bacon, sausage and tomatoes etc but personally the thought of white or black pudding and spaghetti are disgusting but each to their own LOL

Nellie you obviously liked the real soda bread when you were in Ireland. One of the oldest traditions here I think. I can take it or leave it. My Grandmothers made it every single day of their lives to feed the family. there was no money for shop bought bread. As my parents lived on rural farms nothing was shop bought. The bread was made, their chickens laid the eggs, they milked their own cows. Meat came from their own animals when the time came for them to be sent to the 'factory'.
My own Mum made soda bread when we were very young. She soon got fed up with that and we had sliced bread from the shop when she started going out to work.
Does ANYONE love tinned tomatoes? I can't be the only one.
I know what you mean Nellie but waking up to the smell of bacon when staying with family or away on holiday the sight of a cooked breakfast is almost irresistible and in Greece I have been known to surcome to their thin cut fries sprinkled with parmesan cheese too

I like tinned tomatoes too Itchy, but no matter how carefully I try to eat them I always, always end up dripping the juice down the front of whatever I'm wearing LOL

Yes, itchy, delicious soda bread in Waterford. Funnily enough, it doesn't taste the same here - I've bought some of Nick Nairn's (?) from Waitrose but it's not as nice.
I understand it's not too difficult to make - no proving etc - but I'm a hopeless baker.
Chips for brekkie, DD?
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
No Nellie, in my opinion if you are going to have soda bread it has to be home made. Even here in Ireland the shop bought one is not half as good. In the house where I work, the children's granny often makes it and brings it round. It is nice. It is not hard to make from what I remember of my Grannys and Mum doing it. Just chucking the ingredients into a bowl and beating hell out of it. Then making a nice round shape and slicing a cross into the top.
Ooo fried bread!! I haven't eaten it for years but I do like it.
I'd actually never eat a proper English breakfast, my preference would always be poached eggs on toast or scrambled egg and bacon. But for a late breakfast or lunch then I might.
As kids we never had hash browns. But my mum did occasionally slice leftover boiled or roast spuds and fry them up to have with eggs.
