I don't think they'd be quite the same, roses. Scottish breakfast would likely have sliced sausage which is - as far as I know - unique to Scotland. I'm sure that Wales and Ireland have their own specialities.

What do our G'net friends in Scotland call a full English? a full Scottish I presume?Do the Welsh have a full Welsh, and our N I G'netters have a full Irish?Should this now become a full British breakfast?

Yes, usually a cooked breakfast(full English) most Sunday mornings, the only day that we do this, papers,The Andrew Marr Show etc a nice relaxed start to the day.not today though as we were out for a late supper, and just wanted toast and tea.

Having said that, once a month I meet up for breakfast on a Saturday with a group of photography friends. So yesterday I did have a full English at a local pub and thoroughly enjoyed it! But it was about 3 hours after I got up, so I could cope with it grin

Usually yogurt and fruit or a poached egg on toast but this morning I had Scotch pancakes with butter and home-made bramble jelly (Sunday treat).
DH always has porridge.

Only rarely do I have a cooked breakfast, but I have a friend staying with me at the moment. He is German and so an English breakfast is a novelty to him. This morning he had sausages, bacon, eggs and baked beans. I just had one rasher of bacon and one fried egg.
When alone, I sometimes have a poached egg or scrambled eggs on toast. But normally it's just toast, and maybe cereals with fruit and yoghourt in a vain attempt to be healthy.

I've eaten a bowl of cereal virtually every day all my life - until about 3 months ago when I realised I was just not enjoying and often leaving half of it. So I stopped eating breakfast. I know everyone says it's the most important meal of the day, you should never skip breakfast etc, but I simply can't stomach it any more confused. As I write, I've been up for about 2.5 hours and I've just had another cup of tea with a couple of biscuits - I guess you could call that my breakfast!

I recently had a conversation with a friend where I mentioned that we like to have a good long Sunday cooked breakfast with the papers. She replied that she told her DH when she retired she would definitely not be cooking breakfast any day of the week. When we were at work we both shot out of the house at the crack of dawn having gobbled a bit of cereal if we were lucky or in my case ate toast in the car. Do you make time for a cooked breakfast? I often do some poached haddock with eggs - not quite so keen on the whole Full English stuff but we might have scrambled eggs on toast. Today it was poached eggs on soda bread toast. What did you have?
