Full English breakfast
The word “breakfast” is a compound word, consisting of “break” and “fast”, (breaking the fast after so many hours of sleep).
Breakfast is the first meal of the day and it is usually served between 7.00 am to 10.00am.
Three types of the most popular breakfast are:
-Continental breakfast: It is a light morning meal, common in mainland Europe.
- American breakfast: It is a heavy breakfast, typical in The USA.
- Full English breakfast: It is an elaborated heavy meal, traditional in England and Ireland.
The “Full English Breakfast” is also called a 'fry-up'. The Full English Breakfast consists of: 2 eggs (poached, fried or scrambled), cooked pork meat (bacon or rashers, sausages, black and white pudding (similar to bloodwurst and odolostea) baked beans, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Tea or coffee with milk and hot toasts with butter accompany it.
The full English breakfast dates back as far as the 1300s, making it one of the longest standing traditional dishes in English history. Back then, a breakfast of this sort was a luxury and it was reserved for only the richest in society. The meal was not adopted as 'English' until the 20th century.
Yet, while fried food has been eaten for centuries, its name grew as the meal was increasingly seen as an alternative to healthier 'Continental Breakfasts’ of pastries and fruit juices offered to tourists in Britain.
