Unit 18Other Types of Meals: Full Breakfast

 A full breakfast   is a traditional cooked meal, typically andoriginally eaten at breakfast, though now often served at other timesduring the day (this is particularly true of the Ulster Fry , describedbelow).

It is a popular breakfast meal in many countries, mainly in the Anglo sphere. Bacon and eggs are the quintessential ingredients. Thefull breakfast comprises at its heart bacon and eggs, and is popularthroughout the ritish Isles and other parts of the !nglish"speakingworld. #epending on where it is served, it is called bacon and eggs, afry , a fry up, the Great British breakfast , a full English breakfast , a fullIrish breakfast , a full Scottish breakfast , a full Welsh breakfast  or anUlster fry . The $cottish variant of this dish is also referred to as aGlasgow salad .

The complement of the breakfast varies depending on thelocation and which of these descriptions is used. %ull cookedbreakfasts are no longer an everyday occurrence in many ritish orIrish households, although they occupy an important place in the

concept of the morning meal and are the predominant business ofmany greasy spoon caf&s, as well as generally being offered totourists  as traditional fare in hotels, guest houses  and  bed"and"breakfasts. Although it has declined as a breakfast, it has grown inpopularity as an all day breakfast , especially on weekends.

 A cooked breakfast of this sort is a relatively moderninvention, although this is disputed' it developed in the houses ofsuccessful farmers or landowners during the late th century. %or themore well"to"do, an array of breakfast dishes would be laid out buffetstyle in much the same way as hotels do today. *p until this period,fresh meat was generally considered a lu+ury for all but the mostaffluent.

The emergence of town grocers in the -s allowed peopleto e+change surplus eggs, etc., for other food items to diversify theirdiets. nly with the relative increase in the wealth of the generalpopulace in the /-th century was the consumption of the full breakfastmeal commonplace amongst the working classes.

7 weekday breakfasts in ritain and Ireland often consist of a briefmeal of cereal  and8or toast, the fry"up is commonly eaten in aleisurely fashion on $aturday or $unday mornings. >any caf&s andsupermarkets now serve the fry"up as an Dall"day breakfastE which ismore often eaten as a hearty lunch. eing reasonably oily and fatty, it
