1、什麼是全英式早餐（What is a Full English Breakfast）？
Throughout Britain and Ireland, the Full breakfast is famous. It is not now eaten every day but saved for weekends and vacations. The term full comes from the fact the breakfast is, well, full of different food stuff as you can read about below. Full Breakfast is served, as you would expect at breakfast time but is also popular at throughout the day, often replacing lunch. Rarely is it eaten every day of the week, reserved instead for the weekend or on vacation in hotels and Bed and Breakfasts, where no stay would be complete without one.
在大不列顛島和愛爾蘭，全英式早餐比較常見。之所以叫“full”，是因為早餐中含有各種各樣豐富的食材。這種早餐不僅僅在上午供應，全天都有，甚至常用來代替午餐。這種早餐往往不是每天都吃的，而是常在週末或假期裡吃。
Breakfast may begin with orange juice, cereals, stewed or fresh fruits but the heart of the Full breakfast is bacon and eggs, variously accompanied by sausages, grilled tomato, mushrooms, tea, toast, and marmalade.
全英式早餐可能會從橙汁、燕麥或水果開始，但其核心食材是培根雞蛋，同時伴有香腸、烤番茄、蘑菇、茶、吐司和果醬。
Each country in the UK and Ireland also have their choice of accompaniments; it is up to the individual just how much they want on their plate and their preferences. You may find the following:
英國不同地方的早餐，佐料有所不同，而且因人而異。
