Should a full English breakfast have potatoes?

It should have chips, not hash browns which are too North American.

Although that does raise the debate about what constitutes a "Full English" breakfast.

My assertion is it's;

Fried eggs, bacon, sausages, chips, baked beans, fried mushrooms, fried bread, toast and a mug of tea. And if you want to really lend some authenticity to the experience, then it's with a lit Benson while reading a copy of The Sun.

Not normally, but scalloped potatoes (of the non fancy variety) are okay.

Definitely not chips.

But sometimes they're okay. Home fries seems to be the thing in these parts, but they're more like potato wedges.

I wouldn't turn it down but replace the mug with a cup, replace the sun with the guardian and I'll hold a pen rather than the B&H.

Fried eggs, sausage, black pudding, bacon, mushrooms, fried bread, and beans for those who can do an egg tomato combo.

How's that? I'll be making the sausage

I regret just having toast and blackcurrant jam now.

I'll make up for it at lunchtime.

I thought about black pudding with my lunch on Friday but it's always mushy here...doesn't hold it's shape at all. But the biggest thing is the price. A bit more than an inch across and three inches long. $7 :eek:
That's only $3 less than the Prime Rib my stepdaughter got from Superstore.

I had a cheese and mushroom omelette with toast.
