The Full English Breakfast – A Great British Tradition

Breakfast in Spain is a quick and easy affair. Croissants, coffee, maybe some orange juice. In the UK, however, breakfast is a huge deal. We eat like animals, and the Full English Breakfast is a tradition we all enjoy as often as possible.

You may be thinking “Ben, you aren’t English, you’re Welsh!” and you would be right. The full English breakfast is eaten all over Britain though, not just in England.

What is a Full English Breakfast?

The Full English Breakfast, also known as a “Fry-up” or “The Full Monty”, consists of lots and lots of fried food and must be accompanied by tea and orange juice. Check out the recipe below.
