Dare I say the Full Scottish we got served at uni was better:

Sausage
Square sausage
Potato scone
Beans
Black pudding
Haggis
Tomato
Mushrooms
Bacon

Most seem cardboard replicas like you'd get in a wetherspoons with measured ingredients. You can't beat an old school greasy spoon where you still get tinned plum tomatoes and not half a grilled one. Mushrooms also seems to be a thing of the past.

It's amazing how much of an after thought the tomato has become.

Canned plum tomatoes were way better.

Grilled can be ok if it's done properly but usually they are only done on one side and still rock hard on the underside

You can but you'd be wrong

We did also try Ulster Fry in Belfast, probably my least favourite of the 3. Too much potato.

Haggis is seriously underrated breakfast food though.

I'm not sure a grilled tomato being part of a Full English is a fad. I would rather have it than baked beans if they are indeed part of a Full English. Bacon, egg, sausage, mushrooms & grilled tomato with some toast & a cup of tea sounds like perfection to me.

Maybe not a fad but definitely more commonplace these days. Always find a delicious finale to any fry up is mopping up the tinned tomato juice with buttered bread/fried bread/toast and you can't do that with half a grilled tomato!

I would think a proper Full Scottish would be cooked totally in a deep fat fryer with the exception of the egg and there would be no tomato anywhere near it. I am not a fan of Haggis and it should be nowhere near anyone's breakfast.

This isn’t really a very healthy thread is it

Used to have it on burgers too

@Brighton Sky Blue started it by suggesting eating haggis, black pudding & square sausage for breakfast!

Fried bread! That’s a food from my childhood, amazed my heart hasn’t packed up, with all the lard I ate as a kid. That and passive smoking.

What is lard, if not a lubricant?

And what is a heart, if not an engine?

And what engine can run properly without lubrication?

I rest my case.

Potato scone! That’s what it was! Not a pancake. Lovely stuff. Who needs hash browns?

Beats a hash brown any day.

Some people up here will eat potato scones in a roll with nothing else!

I like a scallop batch from the chippy

Imagine my disappointment when (at the age of about 30), I found out that in the rest of the world, scallops are some kind of fish thingy. (As opposed to fish fingers, which are ace.)

I like a chip butty but a potato scone is a dry tasteless flat scone with a bit of potato in it, it's like eating a bread sandwich

Hill top farm or your neighbours house, I’ve heard he does a fantastic fry up

That’s top of my list at the moment. Been there for lunch, but not done breakfast there.

Ahem, tatty scone…. According to my good lady (she should know)

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The cafe at Wellesbourn airfield is top notch.
Full monty with toast and a brew!

Well if having it served naked floats your boat...!

Just makes sure that's a sausage on your plate.

 

[AJB1983]

Not been barn at berryfields, but Oakes farm shop in balsall common and the farm shop cafe at stoneleigh showground are particular favourites of mine - however not cheap.

need to try a few more to be fair.
Millsys always used to be good but not been for a few years.

I like a nice bit of black pudding
