I have a fairly decent appetite but this would put me into a food coma for most of the morning.  Does anyone really need that much food to start the day?

The hash browns  shouldn't really be included in a full English, other than that seems good to me.

A full english is one of my guilty pleasures and keeps  me going until dinner.  I could eat half of that, anyone want to share?

The standard one would do me.

Breakfast being vital is a myth, eat when you're hungry, I'd hate that first thing.

However ...

Come 10/11am I could eat a deep fried horse, so I'm all in!!

Before I do, tell me, do you see yourself as more of a roll model than a role model? 🙂

I believe it’s ‘barm’ where Binners is from.

OP - you're confusing need and want, we wouldn't have a national obesity problem if need was the issue...

Not actually sure I'd want one either though - for £6 I'd be worried about the quality of the ingredients, and my ability to function for the next 3 hours.

Two half-slices of fried bread. 100% British pork sausages. Some of those numbers don't add up.

Tbh I’m surprised the number of beans doesn’t contribute to the ‘19 items’

Looks like a standard breakfast to me, must be a slow news day in Leicester!

If i was riding a couple of hundred km that day. (after an hour or two to let it at least start digesting!)

Not everyday. But for a treat, or after a hard few days preparing for another hard physical day.

Oh dear god, we're opening a can of worms again here. Its a barm for me, but Mrs Binners favours baps. I recently bought her one of these ....

The big question is how the 'full English' got to be so popular. It is easily the worst out of the three main fry ups - the Scottish, the Ulster and the English. Don't know what the Welsh get upto for fried breakfast, probably just a full English with added seaweed, but I don't think I've ever heard of one.

Need? Not since the age of the Hod Carrier probably. Although I do know a couple of Lads with ‘proper jobs’ where they still have ‘breakfast’ at 11am with something like that and don’t eat again till Dinner sorry Tea.

Want? Well that’s a completely different arguement...

It's not an everyday breakfast (which for me is eggs, mushrooms and beans), but for a treat or on a bikepacking trip that would be absolutely perfect!

The only thing that matters is bacon.

Holy Calorie-tastic, Batman!

As a special treat, once or twice a year, maybe... Having very little for lunch on the same day.

Yeah, my son.  Glad I only have to feed him occasionally!

I was once working at a power station on the isle of grain I think it was right next to a cargo port. One day we went into it's cafe for our breakfast and spotted somebody eating a fry up which looked good so I ordered one, little did I know the one I saw was half eaten and the full plate put that Morrisons offering to shame.

I didn't manage to finish it

Having googled the other two out of necessity, they only appear to differ from the world renown full English by the replacement of delicious fried bread by inferior non-fried substitutes?

Reminds me of V.I.N.CENT. the robot from The Black Hole film.

Neither are made from food, let alone bacon.

Can't remember when I last ate proper fried bread.

I'd smash that, no problem. BUT sort your tomatoes out! Watery vapid, anaemic Luke warm gack. Proper tomatoes, grilled to collapse with crunchy bits or plum toms in juice, please

Full English ??

You can keep your fried spam thanks.

Bacon , sausage , Lorne ,  tattie scones , black pudding, haggis  , sauteed mushrooms , scrambled eggs and a grilled tomato broom sauce   . Life's good.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> Round of toast on the side and a cup of thick black tar. </span>

Eat that and i won't need to eat til about 7pm.

I thought the general attitude to massive portions at the the moment was to rush there with pitch forks and string up the chef/store manager by his testicles?

Think of the poor (morbidly obese) children.

Clear that no problem at all. Pretty sure Fannys by the tranny in Pill does something similar.

Swap the hash browns and fried bread for a mug of tea and I'd happily eat that around 11 am .
