How about this for an idea?

While I'm not against meat soldiers, you've wasted half the yolk, in my opinion the best part. I'm not a fan of egg whites. Quail eggs are dirt cheap here and have a higher yolk to white ratio than chook eggs but they're tiny fuckers, about 1/5 the size of a chook egg. One of those sausages would be as wide as the egg. Not that I can find any edible sausages here. I've got myself a sausage stuffer mincer and skins to make my own (which I've been doing for years in Aus.) but unfortunately the kitchen in my little house here isn't conducive to going full Riverside Cottage. I'd also be prepared to offer human sacrifices to get a supply of black puddings.

No decent sausages has just shot in at No.1 in my list of reasons never to move to Australia.

Frijoles Mexicanos picantes, salchichas, huevos y queso el diablo on toast

I’ve deduced that you are a fan of cheese. Not much escapes my attention you know. 
 

Not sure I’d have this for breakfast but if I was lost in the jungle, hadn’t eaten for days and was on deaths door I might consider it as a passable lunch.

So apologies for what I am about to post. I was in the big asda in aintree this morning. I normally avoid it at costs, but there was something I had to get. And I walked past their cafe and was reminded of the monstrosity I think @YorkshireRed posted from a Morrisons . So in the interests of science and this forum, I took it upon myself to check out the asda breakfast. It was something quite awful. I've had worse, but not by much. 

 

It's their full English, which I think is £5.80, it comes with either toast or fried bread, so the fried bread was an extra 80p. And the tea was £1.10, so about £7.70. 

 

So here's a breakdown

 

2 bacon - undercooked but tasted better than it looked. 

2 egg - overcooked (the hard yokes happened about an hour before I got them I reckon) and cheap shite. 

2 hash browns - they must have been in the warmer since I last visited the big asda sometime during lockdown 1

 Beans - pretty tasty. Probably the best bit anti-beaners. 

2 Sausages - I buy sausages from asda, I quite like them. But this wasn't the ones I buy in store. They weren't the worst sausages I've ever had, but I'm in no rush to eat them again. I tried a Gregg's vegan sausage this week and it was loads better than this. 

Fried bread - fuck me. This was bad. I used to avoid cooking fried bread before this thread got me on the path on how to cook it properly (  © lifey   ) . This was worse than I used to cook, it was really bad. I could actually believe they threw it in the deep fat fryer. 

2 toast - just shite bread. But they at least cooked it. 

 

Over all assessment, I reckon a 3/10. Perhaps 3 is too much. But I reckon still better than that Morrisons one.

They'll be using their Smartprice range where all the ingredients cost £1 combined.

True story. Terry Waite was offered something like that as his first post-freedom meal, and he immediately requested to be chained to a radiator in a Beirut ruin with a malnourished rat for company.

Can you post the picture of your Asda brekkie mate? You appear to have posted an image of John Wayne Gacys final meal.

How did @lifetime fan suggest to cook fried bread? Most of the efforts I've had have been like the one above. So much so, I've stopped having it.
