Default OT; Full English

Having just enjoyed the culinary delights of a full English breakfast - a
Sunday tradition at Handyman Towers - its got me wondering.

Who decided that baked beans & hash browns are part of the great English
breakfast?

Now, I'm not adverse to the odd baked bean, nothing wrong with them, but
who decided they were a breakfast item?

As for hash browns - an American perversion if you ask me, not a patch on
proper fried left over potatoes.

But go to the cafe and what do you get? Baked beans & hash browns that's
what.

And does anyone eat that half a tomato?

My wife owns a cafe, and beans are not part of a full English, but you can
have them as an option if you want. Saute potatoes are part of a vegie
breakfast. Standard full English is sausage, bacon, fried tomato, egg(s),
mushrooms, with toast and marmalade to follow. Orange juice (proper) or tea
/ coffee chucked in with the price. She has people queueing out the door for
them.
