Beans first, then the yoke. Fried bread last to clean the plate with. It's been ages since I had a full English.

I think it can vary what I have a taste of first.
If I do fancy any sauce it will be brown if having beans but red without beans.
Although if I have a breakfast butty or toastie and I fancy sauce on it will always be brown.

I went into a cafe local to me a few weeks ago and asked for 2 toast and 2 boiled eggs. No word of a lie, when they brought it to the table, they'd put 2 slices of toast on a plate and 2 boiled eggs in a tea mug.

It turns out, they'd never heard of boiled eggs with the tops cut off with toast to dip into them! I was flabbergasted.

Fried bread. First thing I do when I get home from Europe is go to Morrisons and have 4 piece of fried bread, 3 sausages, 3 bacon, 2 fried eggs, beans and a milky coffee. Then I know I am home.

I'd leave it until last to avoid collateral damage to the beans and tomato, although you do run the risk of a cold egg! :lol:
I tend to isolate, scoop and then destroy it in a single gob full :lol:

Always start off by dipping into the egg or eggs, then eat the rest with bits of the egg. I can get some really good full Englishes here on the Costa Del Sol, thanks to the tourist trade.

Get all the condiments on sharpish,HP etc.Then the beans must be eaten immediately before they go cold,toast or a sausage straight into the egg.After that everything's fair game and just sick back and feel how big your belly is. :D

This is how I'd start: sausage, and, if included, hash brown dipped in until the yolk is done in. I put the white on the toast and cover it with some of the beans,

Always beans first to get them out of the way. Don't know why I even bother having them tbh. They feel more like a pre-breakfast obligation than a part of the actual breakfast.

While on holiday in Cape Town earlier this year. Nearly every morning we used to go for a full breakfast at a shopping mall, which cost about £2 each. Surprisingly a full breakfast there includes chips, which was odd to have at the beginning, but we soon got used to eating them.

chips with a full english diminishes the englishness.

for the past fifteen years i've been festoonering my english breakfasts with tobasco/chili sauce.

the line is drawn thus.

My husband also puts chopped chilies on as well as tabasco. It's a travesty.

An English brekky is good for you these days as most of it's grilled and not fried.
Egg-good for you
Tomatoes-""
Beans-""
Mushrooms-""
Black Pudding-Super food now
Sausage and Bacon Grilled is not too bad occasionally.
Toast- fine

Really, the last thing that should be on your mind when wolfing down a FEB
is whether it's "good for you" or not. That's NOT why we eat them, for God's sake.
