Food

The full English breakfast is an old British tradition which appeared in the 1800’s. The story of the English breakfast  begins with a tradition of hospitality. The breakfast table was an opportunity to show the wealth and the quality of  food. It allowed to show the skills of the cooks who prepared typical English breakfast dishes every morning for the guests of the house. The traditional full English breakfast was so popular that the the Scots and the Irish developed their own versions of it.

The full English breakfast is a substantial meal consisting of bacon, eggs, sausage, beans, tomato, mushrooms, black pudding and toast. The full Irish breakfast usually contains Irish bacon and sausage, but also traditional ingredients such as  white pudding, Irish soda bread and Irish potato cake. The full Scottish breakfast usually contains some local ingredients.

The word «breakfast» does not mean that people may eat the traditional full English breakfast at breakfast time. It is such a meal that it can be enjoyed at any time of the day. It is traditionally during the eating of the English breakfast that the British read newspapers or communicate. The traditional English breakfast is truly a national dish.
