I have a fairly decent appetite but this would put me into a food coma for most of the morning.  Does anyone really need that much food to start the day?

The hash browns  shouldn't really be included in a full English, other than that seems good to me.

A full english is one of my guilty pleasures and keeps  me going until dinner.  I could eat half of that, anyone want to share?

Breakfast being vital is a myth, eat when you're hungry, I'd hate that first thing.

However ...

Come 10/11am I could eat a deep fried horse, so I'm all in!!

Before I do, tell me, do you see yourself as more of a roll model than a role model? 🙂

I believe it’s ‘barm’ where Binners is from.

OP - you're confusing need and want, we wouldn't have a national obesity problem if need was the issue...

Not actually sure I'd want one either though - for £6 I'd be worried about the quality of the ingredients, and my ability to function for the next 3 hours.

Two half-slices of fried bread. 100% British pork sausages. Some of those numbers don't add up.

Tbh I’m surprised the number of beans doesn’t contribute to the ‘19 items’

If i was riding a couple of hundred km that day. (after an hour or two to let it at least start digesting!)

Not everyday. But for a treat, or after a hard few days preparing for another hard physical day.

Oh dear god, we're opening a can of worms again here. Its a barm for me, but Mrs Binners favours baps. I recently bought her one of these ....

The big question is how the 'full English' got to be so popular. It is easily the worst out of the three main fry ups - the Scottish, the Ulster and the English. Don't know what the Welsh get upto for fried breakfast, probably just a full English with added seaweed, but I don't think I've ever heard of one.

Need? Not since the age of the Hod Carrier probably. Although I do know a couple of Lads with ‘proper jobs’ where they still have ‘breakfast’ at 11am with something like that and don’t eat again till Dinner sorry Tea.

Want? Well that’s a completely different arguement...

It's not an everyday breakfast (which for me is eggs, mushrooms and beans), but for a treat or on a bikepacking trip that would be absolutely perfect!

As a special treat, once or twice a year, maybe... Having very little for lunch on the same day.

I was once working at a power station on the isle of grain I think it was right next to a cargo port. One day we went into it's cafe for our breakfast and spotted somebody eating a fry up which looked good so I ordered one, little did I know the one I saw was half eaten and the full plate put that Morrisons offering to shame.

I didn't manage to finish it

Having googled the other two out of necessity, they only appear to differ from the world renown full English by the replacement of delicious fried bread by inferior non-fried substitutes?

Reminds me of V.I.N.CENT. the robot from The Black Hole film.

Neither are made from food, let alone bacon.

I'd smash that, no problem. BUT sort your tomatoes out! Watery vapid, anaemic Luke warm gack. Proper tomatoes, grilled to collapse with crunchy bits or plum toms in juice, please

Full English ??

You can keep your fried spam thanks.

Bacon , sausage , Lorne ,  tattie scones , black pudding, haggis  , sauteed mushrooms , scrambled eggs and a grilled tomato broom sauce   . Life's good.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> Round of toast on the side and a cup of thick black tar. </span>

Eat that and i won't need to eat til about 7pm.

I thought the general attitude to massive portions at the the moment was to rush there with pitch forks and string up the chef/store manager by his testicles?

Think of the poor (morbidly obese) children.

Clear that no problem at all. Pretty sure Fannys by the tranny in Pill does something similar.

Swap the hash browns and fried bread for a mug of tea and I'd happily eat that around 11 am .

I love a full English ..could probably eat a similar quantity to that at home  ..but wouldn't go to Morrison's for a brekkie anyway ..someone mentioned  tomatoes ..100% with you that they have to be plum tinned tomatoes on a breakfast..never could understand why you would half a tomato and barely warm it under the grill..

No to fried bread ..toast instead ..jeezus think of the calories !😁

Fried tattie scone > fried bread

+ Fried haggis

+ Blackpudding that has flavoir.

A full scottish dicks all over and english as for world renowned the US andaCanada all want to be scottish and the first thing they do is demand a full scottish when they get off the plane. Its only world famous in the lottle world england 😊

I could eat that no bother. 32inch waist may temporarily suffer mind...

Wiki you say?

Seems to menntion America it’s traditional but not Enlglish, although someone has added to the list and claimed it’s often served in the UK which is bollocks

Been travelling around Europe recently, noticable when you get back to the UK how fat is normal.

Can’t imagine how that happened?

Normal in what sense? Is it because you choose local restaurants rather than chains when travelling for that authentic feel?

One of my colleague likes to go to a local chain pub for an all you can eat breakfast experience.He took me ONCE ,it was like feeding time at the zoo. Folk with plates stacked high with food. Saying that ,I'm just popping to the canteen for a "7". 🙂

As long as it doesn't involve sugar, they're okay. Fat isn't as evil as sugar now, so a fry up probably isn't as bad as a glass of orange juice. Until the next study comes out that says they got it wrong again and fat is far worse.

What sick bastard puts half tomatoes on a fry up?

Get the proper tinned ones - fried bread needs that juice!!

That’ll drop 2 items off and leave room for another lot of black pud 😎

Not that manky English black pudding though, get some decent Stornoway instead, actually tastes nice, as opposed to the used poltus taste of Bury black pudding...

No a Lorne fan tbh, it's been bastardised into cheap shite for the white van masses, prefer some decent links these days.

Depends on where you get it, but yeah, nothing worse than a dry, gritty square slice.

A proper breakfast should, of course, include both square and links.

No beans. Not at breakfast. That's the Devil's work.

Lorne can be good.

www.lurchmonster.co.uk is my local butcher he does good Lorne. How you cook it changes it as well.... Too long in a Bain Maree and it's like an inner tube patch.

Anyway top breakfast has just been had 2 slice of fresh home made wholemeal bread , 2 eggs scrambled , 2 slices of smoked salmon and some Angus and oink hot sauce statistically splashed over
