Full breakfast

A full breakfast or fry-up is a substantial cooked breakfast meal often made in Great Britain and Ireland. Depending on the region where it is served a full breakfast, or one of its variants, may also be referred to as a full English, full Scottish, full Welsh, full Irishfry up, or Ulster fry. Other variants of the full breakfast are made elsewhere.

The typical ingredients of a full breakfast are bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, and fried bread or toast. The meal is often served with tea. Baked beans, hash browns, and coffee (in place of tea) are common contemporary but non-traditional inclusions.

Fried breakfasts became popular in Great Britain and Ireland during the Victorian era; while the term "full breakfast" does not appear, a breakfast of "fried ham and eggs" is in Isabella Beeton's Book of Household Management (1861).
