Can a breakfast be English if it was not made in the UK?
Yes, an English breakfast can be made outside the UK, provided the correct ingredients and methods are used. The defining factor is not geography but authenticity of sourcing and preparation. The English breakfast relies on specific cuts of meat, traditional curing methods, and established recipes for sausages and black pudding that originate in British food culture. While this can be difficult to replicate, some butchers and producers overseas deliberately follow British practices and produce the correct ingredients. Where those ingredients are available and used properly, an English breakfast made abroad can be considered authentic.
