Are baked beans traditional in an English breakfast?
A full English breakfast is a traditional cooked breakfast from England built around a defined core of bacon, sausages, eggs, and black pudding, all prepared and sourced in accordance with British tradition. All four components must be present for the breakfast to qualify as "full." The tradition dates back centuries and represents a recognised part of English culinary culture. Additional items such as beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread, bubble and squeak, or toast may be included, but they support the plate rather than define it.
