Not a brit, but I know the traditional "Full English" breakfast: Everything is fried. Even the tomatoes Oops, the tomatoes are grilled. The toast, however, is often fried, and not only on Christmas!

    Honestly

    I'm obviously biased as a Brit, but anyone who can look me in the eye after having the experience of a full English (or Scottish/Irish, a proper full Welsh is definitely a subject of understandably niche interest) breakfast and a good Sunday roast, and say we have shit food here is frankly a bit of a philistine.

    And there's more to the chippy than fish and chips

    Edit: on re-read, I'm realising you might not be fully on board, have a proper one and you'll understand. Also, I'll have you know, we don't fry our beans, and fried toast is a Christmas luxury

    Oh it's phenomenal, don't get me wrong, it just has to be an uncommon treat for longevity reasons

    A number of years ago, I lived near a greasy spoon cafe that did a sort of breakfast club sandwich situation with fried toast as the middle bread layer and the rest of the fry up distributed between the two decks of the sandwich

    I don't think I've ever been more set up for a day than after having that, though I'm pretty sure it would have been my daily allowance of everything
