What do you mean by a “ cooked breakfast”?

I just eat fairly simply so a cooked breakfast is a couple of scrambled eggs on toast or rarely a fried egg and bacon in a bun

Daddima Thanks for the link to the Lorne sausage recipe. I may just have a go at making them.
My favourite is a fresh, buttered roll with square slice. It reminds me of my childhood.

Thanks for the recipe Daddima, although I could do with earning some brownie points cooking may be a step too far. Will pass the info onto himself and pop to Iceland!

Baked beans are NOT a breakfast food!

When I had a job that involved travel and staying in various hotels, some would have a hot help yourself breakfast buffet, others had waitress service, where you could order what you wanted, one had an option whereby you could choose either continental or "full English", with no option as to what it consisted of!

The full English came with baked beans, but someone had clearly thought it through, and the beans were on the side of the plate contained in a ranking, full marks to that person!

My ideal cooked breakfast would involve smoked haddock and a poached egg, or Whitby kippers. Other than that, it would be bacon, egg, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and a Derbyshire oatcake!

Every breakfast is a cooked breakfast to me because I have to cook it! Yes, that means proper (not instant) porridge (lots of stirring), or scrambled or boiled eggs as well as the full English. Our FE has black pudding, hash browns, bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes with toast (or fried bread if I dare) but it’s a rare treat these days.

Bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, fried bread, and hash browns if available.

I make my 'proper porridge' in a double saucepan so it doesn't need stirring and I can pop off and have a shower and it's ready for a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of honey when I get back.

I’m starving now reading all this!

Merlotgran, I’ve just watched a programme on the Queen’s kitchen, where the chef said that Her Majesty had a “ first course”, never a “starter”.
And, well said, Phoenix; beans on toast, or with Scotch pie, fine, but NEVER with breakfast.

A cooked breakfast is just that, a breakfast that includes an item that has been cooked so could just be porridge. As a child a 'cooked breakfast' was something on toas;, beans, spaghetti, cheese, scrambled egg etc

A fried breakfast, very much a weekend treat, was a fried egg, rasher of bacon OR a sausage, and a small piece of fried bread and, on occasion, in season, a fried tomato, or some fried mushrooms.

Greek yoghurt! Honey! Tsk tsk Merlot-best porridge is made with water and salt perhaps served with a splash of milk. Us hardy northern Scots can vouch for that! Still lads going around in tshirts up here!

I'm not keen on fried eggs so it would be scrambled egg, mushrooms, crispy bacon, no sausage (yuk), black pudding and hash browns and definitely has to have beans with toast. For OH it would be fried egg, sausage and definitely NO beans - he sends anything back with beans on - once ate them as a child and was sick so never eaten them since!
