Post A Question for Our British Brethren
I was reading about the famous Full English Breakfast and learned that there are many regional varieties. To our various English friends, what is your version of the Full English Breakfast?

"To eat well in England you should have breakfast three times a day." - W. Somerset Maugham

A traditional full English breakfast includes bacon (traditionally back bacon), scrambled or fried eggs, fried or grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, fried bread or toast with butter, sausages and baked beans, usually served with a mug of tea. As nearly everything is fried in this meal, it is commonly called a "fry-up".

That's the one with which I am most familiar. Black pudding is mainly a regional addition (popular in some parts of the country but less so in others) and hash browns is a more recent addition (I think, at least I didn't see them much when I was a lad, growing up in the late 14th century).
