You are right, it should be tea.

However hash browns and baked beans are both American by origin (or popularity) so should also not be on a full English if you are going to be a stickler.

If we went down that route, I fear we’d have an empty plate! And an empty cup for that matter. Nah, it’s not about place of origin, it’s about what the dish traditionally contains.

Exactly.

Not beans, which were a cheapskate addition to take up plate space by shit cafe’s and not a traditional part of a full English.

Listening to Richard Herrings podcast. Al Murray was on and one of his audience sent in questions was does he have beans on a fry up. My first reaction was that it must be someone from here.

He said yes he does. But not near the eggs. Which I thought was the correct answer. He added and adamantly commented that grilled tomato has no business being on a fry up.

There you have it. The pub landlord and Oxford educated Murray is a probeaner. Scientific proof of the bean = good hypothesis.

Just listened to the Julian Clary podcast and he said no beans. Make of that what you will.

It means Julian Clary is a well balanced individual who does not enjoy ramming tins of beans up his own arse. Al Murray’s large intestine is like a Heinz warehouse due to the amount he rams up there.

He didn’t actually say it I made it up but I imagine that’s what he will say when I eventually listen to that particular episode. So it is kind of true in my world.

That's that then. Beans on a fry up is the way forward. At last, it's put to bed...

The fry-up

Forget your smashed avocado or poached eggs, the humble fry-up remains the king of breakfasts. But what you get on your plate depends on where you order it.

 

In England a fry-up usually consists of bacon, sausages, eggs (fried or scrambled), fried tomatoes, beans, hash browns, toast and black pudding.

 

Northern Ireland is renowned for the Ulster fry, which has all the main components of a full English, but some key substitutions. Rather than hash browns, an Ulster fry features potato bread - fried potato pancakes - and soda farls, which is delicious soda bread made with buttermilk.

Scotland has its own variation of potato bread known as the tattie scone, which is served with a traditional fry-up. Also a lorne sausage, which is square, is more common in Scotland than link sausages. You could also be given fruit pudding, which is made of flour, beef suet, sugar and currants.

 

In Wales your traditional fry-up could come with laverbread, or "Welsh caviar" as actor Richard Burton referred to it. The local delicacy is boiled, minced or pureed seaweed which is fried and coated in oatmeal.

They've shit out, they've said beans AND fried tomatoes.

 

The sit on the fence Heinz loving pricks.

This is a very good point, I've never noticed anyone have both on the plate.
