It means a fried breakfast - eg sausages, egg and bacon. All washed down with a lovely strong cuppa. In a hotel I visited in the Cotswolds not long ago you got fried black pudding with it too. <BR> <BR>This is why all Brits live full and happy lives and pass away peacefully in their sleep aged 40. <BR> <BR>Julie

Wendy, you was gypped! At the 3 B&B's that I stayed at last summer, the full breakfast also offered yogurt, orange juice, bananas, sausages, bacon, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Our eggs were cooked to order, but I think the default was fried. Two places also offered beans that looked like American canned baked beans.

Simple breakfast or 'continental' breakfast cosists of minimum of tea or coffee, bread (usually toasted), butter and jam/marmalade. Often you get fruit juice and cereals as well. <BR>For 'English' breakfast you get, in addition, cooked food consisting of fried bacon, sausage, grilled tomato and egg (usually fried, but boiled, poached or scrambled as an option). You may get in addition kippers, baked beans, mushrooms, fried bread, fried potatoes. Other options may be fresh fruit, stewed fruit, yoghurt. In larger hotels breakfasts are served buffet-style, so you can have as much or as little as you like.
