method

Preheat the grill to high. Set the oven to its lowest heat and pop 2 plates in it to keep warm.Put the sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes, scored-side up, on to a large grill pan and place under the grill, about 5cm from the heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the sausages once or twice.

Add the bacon and black pudding to the pan and grill for 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until they are cooked and crispy. Put the baked beans in a saucepan and warm gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Place a non-stick saucepan over a low heat. Melt 1 knob of butter in the pan, add the eggs, season to taste and stir gently until just scrambled. Remove from the heat. Put the bread in the toaster, and arrange the sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes with the bacon, black pudding and beans on the warm plates. When the toast pops up, butter it, then put a slice on each plate and top with scrambled egg. Serve with HP sauce or tomato ketchup on the side, and a pot of tea.

A Full Irish .... now that's a real breakfast. Dump the baked beans and toast and replace with fabulous Irish potato bread, soda farls and wheaten farls. (Just google around and you'll find the recipes - the breads are so simple to make and delicious). If you can get it, use Donnelly's black bacon from Fermanagh, here in Ireland. Again, google them. They'll ship sides of the most amazing bacon you've ever tasted. (Or go to Harrods!!! Donnelly's supply them.)

Black pudding is known as blood sausage in America. You can get it at most meat markets.

Just misses the Mark. Fry eggs in a mix of bacon fat and butter. Don't scramble. Add Derbyshire oatcakes and serve all ingredients on top. Then you have a real Full English.

It looks great. BUT while on a visit to England, I had what they called English Bacon. It was so good. But I can't find a recipe on how to make it. It appears to be a pork loin cured.That what I had on my Breakfast in England, Does anyone know how to cure it?

don't get me wrong I love Jamie's cooking skills, but this isn't really a recipe he's just telling you how long to cook things for.
