The Great British breakfast sets you up for the day

Breakfast remains the most important meal of the day and it is important for people to have something before they set off. The pace of modern life means that some people are forced to skip breakfast but this can result in them feeling hungry long before lunchtime and sees them filling up on snacks. There are many different breakfasts available and it may be that on different days, a particular style of breakfast is better than others. Before work, toast or cereal may be more than sufficient for ensuring a good start to the day but when it comes to the weekend, it is hard to compete with a full British breakfast.

There are many different components in a weekend fry up but the great British sausage is central to all that is good in this meal. The British banger has had its critics over the years but it remains one of the most popular foods in the country and a breakfast is not complete without it. The sausage plays many vital roles on the breakfast plate and its size and shape leads many people to use it as a barrier to keep certain food stuffs apart. If you want to keep your beans separate from your eggs, placing a sausage in between them is the best way to guarantee this.

Eggs are definitely a key component in a big weekend breakfast and whether you like them fried, boiled or scrambled, there can be uproar if they are not present. Thankfully, there are plenty of British chickens producing these eggs which mean that the large demand for breakfast eggs is constantly met. Eggs are perfect as the main part of a breakfast or as an additional product in a big fried breakfast. You also want to make sure you find the right ingredients because there are various recipes you can use for a breakfast if you fancy pushing the boat out a little.

There can be regional variations of the traditional weekend breakfast all across Great Britain and this means that if you go travelling, you can expect to find a variety of breakfasts. In Scotland, haggis or black puddings are essential parts of the breakfast and there will often be a potato scone involved as well. In England, there is likely to be an appearance of mushrooms as part of the breakfast meal, providing an alternative to tomatoes. Some people also like to use hash browns but a common addition to any cooked breakfast is tea and toast.

There are many different ways to enjoy a British breakfast but if you want to get a great start to your day, the full on English or British breakfast is the ideal way to start the day.
