Can an English breakfast be vegan?

A fully vegan breakfast can be recognised as authentic in spirit, even though it cannot meet the traditional ingredient definition of an English breakfast. For many diners, dietary restrictions make animal products impossible, not optional, and a well-executed vegan breakfast can still honour the structure, balance, and purpose of the standard. In these cases, the dish should be presented clearly as a vegan English-style breakfast, aligned with the tradition in form and intent, while transparently distinct in ingredients.
