The traditional English breakfast is a national institution. Sometimes also called a ‘''fry-up''’, the full English breakfast consists of fried eggs, sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread and often a slice of white or black pudding (similar to bloodwurst).

The tradition of breakfast dates back to the Middle Ages. At this time, there were usually only two meals a day; breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was served mid or late morning. They were unhurried, leisurely affairs with plenty of silver and glassware on show to impress the host’s guests. The breakfast table would groan under the weight of the produce from the host’s estate. Newspapers were available for the family and guests to catch up on the day’s news.

Perhaps the full English breakfast remains so popular, not just because it tastes so good but simply because it has been enjoyed for centuries by people from all walks of life.
