The English Breakfast is not always the proverbial oatmeal or "porridge" (as the English call porridge). Rather more traditional in Britain is scrambled eggs with beans in tomato sauce, fried bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms. On weekdays before going to work, few people will cook something more complicated than cereal or toast. But on the weekends to eat real English “fry up” (fry up), or, as it is called, “full English” is a matter of honor. Help yourself!
