Looks great, but not 'full' without toast and tomatoes.

It's always something, usually the mushrooms is missing, but i have never actually seen a true full English breakfast on this sub.

Or the tomatoes are normally waved briefly over the heat.

They need to be halved, and caramelised to fuck on the cut side to give a sweet crunch.

Cut side up and grilled or cut side down and fried?

Flat side down.

Dry it thoroughly with kitchen paper towel, and then place face side down in a hot pan with high temp oil (rapeseed in the UK).

Remove when the cut side is black, sweet and crunchy.

...which is odd, given that the "full English" has been posted to death... way out of proportion to everything else out there. I think it's time to branch out some.

I think I got everything on mine a few years ago.

I also added white pudding, because after going around Houston for five hours looking for black pudding and finally finding it, I couldn't not try the white pudding as well.

Try marmalade on toast fried in bacon grease. The sweet tangy marmalade with the salty umami of the bacon grease is as close to bliss as I've ever experienced with such a simple thing

I view it as baked beans or fried tomatoes, not both. Too much tomato otherwise. Toast, preferably white with butter is spot on though.
