What's the first thing you do? (Particularly the "nicely" endowed)

Napkin first, or more likely, a tea towel, as I am messy.
But I would not have this at home for breakfast, only when I am away and then no black pudding, no mushrooms because I don’t like them, no tomatoes because they don’t like me. Baked beans for lunch, not for breakfast. This might be an occasional lunch at home.

I can't abide baked beans on a cooked breakfast, ruins it completely. My favourite cooked breakfast consists of bacon, fried egg, fried bread, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. Lovely.

Dream of my American SIL's home made hash browns. The bought English ones just don't come close.

Cover my front with a napkin.

I cover my front with a napkin anytime I go anywhere near food otherwise I would spend my entire life washing and ironing tee-shirts and other tops.
Messy McMess Face...........🤣🤣.

Worcestershire sauce added. Beans and black pudding scraped into bin, sorry! Beans have their place but not on a cooked breakfast.

Squeeze some tomato ketchup onto plate. Turn the plate so the egg is closest to me, cut some of the sausage, dip sausage into poached egg yolk plus some sauce- lean forward to reduce risk- eat!

I rarely have a full traditional cooked breakfast but when I do really enjoy and relish it. Even better if someone else has cooked it.

1. Remove the baked beans - horrible things.
2. Cover my front with a napkin
3. Sprinkle Hendersons' Relish on the sausage, tomatoes and fried bread.
4. Eat

Oh, I wouldn't dream of being so sensible

I eat onehanded as I’m disabled. It can get messy so it’s something I do automatically

I have never understood the concept of "full English" - especially with baked beans which are (a) American and (b) abominable! Obviously something lacking in my upbringing!

I cook breakfast on a Sunday scrambled not fried egg, tomatoes not beans, plus mushrooms, first fork full sausage and tomato.

The only time I wasn't put off faced with a breakfast like that was when the baked beans were served in a ramekin so hadn't touched the rest of the food.
I'd hoped the tomatoes were grilled, not sloppy tinned ones.

What would be the first thing I'd do? Pass the black pudding and fried bread to DH or anyone nearby! 😁

The traditional Full English (Scots, Irish or Welsh) doesn't have beans or tomatoes on it. Not saying they shouldn't be there if you like them, but when the 'most important meal of the day' evolved we didn't have access to those ingredients.
So I'd burst the egg and dip toast or fried bread in it.

Neither does a proper Full English have the ubiquitous hash browns.

Finding a menu with fried bread these days is virtually impossible ☹️

(Any suggestions for suitable London based caffs appreciated!)

I’m not a breakfast person, only want coffee and a slice of toast so I’d probably bin it or give it to the birds. 🦅

Yummy except for baked beans-I'd have tio remove them .
I can't even stand the smell of them.
I often have this type of breakfast at my friend's cafe .
I'd dip the bread into the fried egg .

I can't abide black pudding and am unable to touch any type of bread, including such as pizza, wraps, etc., because of gut issues, and I never cook, have never owned a frying pan or anything, wouldn't know where to begin! So I only ever eat out.

I dive straight into the baked beans first, then fried eggs, mushrooms - depending on where I'm eating, as some places they are absolutely awful and sickening - but the ones I go to with lovely mushrooms, they're the third. Then there are hash browns, 5th are tomatos - as of with the mushrooms - then the bacon and dausages!

I don’t eat several of the breakfast items you mention ferry but fried eggs and tomatoes with toast is glorious! And yes, egg yolk would find its merry way onto my frontage if I didn’t cover up.😄

Not at all well endowed but I would almost certainly end up with something down my front with that lot!

It turns my stomach to think of the "Full English" so little danger. At a hotel recently I managed scrambled eggs on toast however. That was quite nice and reminded me a decent start to the day energy wise was a perhaps a good idea.

The day has to start with a nice big latte in a huge mug.

Drop some on my shelf for later.

What’s “nice” about being what I think is more usually referred to as “well-endowed” ?

I can't stand baked beans!! First thing I'd do would be to remove them or transfer the other items to a clean plate. Back bacon, eggs and sausage for me. Oh and mushrooms too of course. I'd start with the bacon.

I am far from ‘endowed’, but manage to get egg yolk, toast crumbs, fried tomatos etc on my pyjama top. I only get into my day clothes after a late breakfast - bliss !.

couldn't have that for breakfast

Give the dogs a piece of sausage.

As I am not "nicely endowed" the beans/tomatoes would drop straight onto my lap.

Eat the egg while it’s still runny, despite the inherent danger to my silk PJs.
My grilled tomatoes rarely drip.
