What is the traditional British breakfast dish of sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, and toast called?

The traditional British breakfast of sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, and toast is called a full English breakfast.

A full English commonly includes fried or grilled bacon, sausages, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast or fried bread. The exact combination varies by region, household, café, and hotel, so there is no single legally fixed recipe. Black pudding is also a common addition.

The dish developed from substantial cooked breakfasts associated with the English country house and later became widely served in cafés and lodging houses. The word “full” distinguishes it from a lighter continental breakfast of bread, pastries, and hot drinks.

Regional versions use different names and ingredients. An Ulster fry may include soda bread or potato bread, while Scottish and Welsh breakfasts have their own local specialties. These regional variants should not be treated as identical to the standard English version.
