Not a brit, but I know the traditional "Full English" breakfast: Everything is fried. ~~Even the tomatoes~~ Oops, the tomatoes are grilled. The toast, however, is often fried, and not only on Christmas!

Honestly

I'm obviously biased as a Brit, but anyone who can look me in the eye after having the experience of a full English (or Scottish/Irish, a proper full Welsh is definitely a subject of understandably niche interest) breakfast and a good Sunday roast, and say we have shit food here is frankly a bit of a philistine.

And there's more to the chippy than fish and chips

Edit: on re-read, I'm realising you might not be fully on board, have a proper one and you'll understand. Also, I'll have you know, we don't fry our beans, and fried toast is a Christmas luxury

Fried toast is FIT. Bloody lovely. My nan made hers taste like heaven (RIP)

Oh it's phenomenal, don't get me wrong, it just has to be an uncommon treat for longevity reasons

A number of years ago, I lived near a greasy spoon cafe that did a sort of breakfast club sandwich situation with fried toast as the middle bread layer and the rest of the fry up distributed between the two decks of the sandwich

I don't think I've ever been more set up for a day than after having that, though I'm pretty sure it would have been my daily allowance of everything

Yep, totally agree.

What are you supposed to do with the grease in the pan after frying the bacon and sausages if not frying the toasts? Also, I don't have a toaster.
