Tip - English Breakfast

  Breakfast is the most cheerful meal in a British hotel, and many
  consider it the best.  None of that restrained "Continental breakfast"
  of a croissant, jam, and coffee here!  This is a real Anglo-Saxon
  breakfast, beginning with a fruit or a substantial porridge.  A choice
  of good things follows.  One standard dish is Wiltshire or Danish
  bacon with fresh country eggs, usually fried or scrambled.  Another
  favored combination is spiced sausage with bacon, grilled tomatoes,
  and mushrooms.  Horrifying to the visiting French, but satisfying to
  solid British citizens, are finnan haddie or kippers, served with
  boiled potatoes, or grilled kidneys on toast.  Following this is the
  invariably cool but crisp toast in a metal rack, with marmalade and
  tea or coffee.  Substantial is indeed the word for a British
  breakfast.
