Meat is Main coz it is alliterative.
The rest is sides.
Why does there need to be a main and sides?
It’s all one dish, there are no sides.
main are the proteins; eggs, sausage bacon and beans. the sides are carbs and veg , the toast and toms.
Main: Sausage, Bacon
Sides: Black Pud, Beans, Egg, Hash Brown, Fried Bread/Toast
If I was granted authority over this I would elevate Egg and Black Pud to main status in recognition of its significant contribution over history.
if it’s on one plate there are no sides. It’s all main.
Everything is the main. Only possible side might be a extra slice of toast or bread and butter, if you’re that way inclined!
A Full English is an ensemble meal.
A proper full English is served on one big plate. I can’t stand the sort of fancy-pants restaurant where they give you a small plate with sausage/bacon on, then the beans, tomato, mushrooms etc all in their own individual silly little finicking pots [just their way of giving you smaller portions I think.]
Same as those sadists who put three chips on end in a tiny silver jug next to the fried sardine they laughingly call a fish, and three microscopic splots of pureed pea standing in for a big helping of mushy peas.
Why is everyone saying sides, you weirdos? It’s called a full English breakfast!! 😆 if you want sides, toast or a big strong cup of tea.
It’s all main.
The side is another full English
Beans belong on the side, and when I say on the side I mean all the way off the side of the table in the bin.
The only things I’d consider sides are a cup of tea or extra slices of bread. Everything else is the main.
Not all meals need to be defined thusly. In a full english, there are no sides except maybe toast, at a push.
The mains ie “the staples” (non-negotiable items):
– Bacon
– Sausage
– Egg (ideally fried but scrambled is ok)
– Hash Brown
– Bread (Toast or Fried Bread)
The rest I consider the “sides” and are optional but at least two of them
Main: bacon, hashbrowns, sausage
Sides: beans, tomato, mushroom, egg, toast
ALL MAIN!!
