Full English Breakfast

When eating a FEB and your doing the every bit on your fork thing, does egg yolk count or does it actually have to be a piece of egg?

Doesn't matter. 
It all falls down my shirt when it's halfway to my mouth.

You need to try the Full English at the Midland Hotel in Morecambe.

They lay out a bottle of Scotch next to the porridge for you to help yourself. Maybe that's really a Full Scottish Breakfast.

The eggs primary function is for dipping the bacon, spuds or black pudding in... so I think it's fine to count the yolk as part of it

A Scottish breakfast is just two paracetamol isn’t it?

Has to have black pudding and mushrooms for sure

If it has black pudding it must be the sub-species, the Northern Breakfast

The yolk counts,. Not least as you should be mopping up the last of the yolk and bacon grease with the last of the toast anyway.

Egg yolk is there to coagulate with beans juice and brown sauce remnants to provide a species of English Salsa into which to dip one’s toast.

I've never done that. Ever. 

Love a massive fry up brekkie though, could be my favourite food to be honest.

Got to love their range of condiments.

The egg yolk should be nicely just runny and be eaten whole after carefully disposing of the white in yer north and south.

Nor me. Egg gets paired with bacon, mushrooms with sausage and beans with fried bread/hash browns. 

While we're on the subject. Recommendations for black pudding. Tried just about every version even went to Bury market just to try what was available. Nothing comes close the the black pudding we used to get from E.Grimley, Butchers of Loughborough ,long since gone.

The Blood Pudding at St John of Smithfield is to die for. 

Not much use if you’re trying to do a home based lard-up, I concede.
