ultimate English breakfast

 

English Breakfast is a traditional and hearty meal that typically includes a combination of eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, and black pudding (a type of blood sausage). 

Sometimes it is also served with toast, fried bread, or potatoes. It is typically served as a large meal in the morning and is thought to have originated in the 19th century as a way for the British upper class to start their day with a substantial and satisfying meal. 

Today, it is still a popular breakfast choice in the UK and is often served in cafes and hotels.
