Full English breakfast

Slice the blood sausage on the bias into medallions and weigh them down with a chef's press so they do not curl.

Fry the sausages and the blood sausage until crisp with a good crust.

Cook the quartered mushrooms in the oven first to drive off their moisture, then saute them.

Add the tomatoes and leave them alone until there is a nice char on the bottom.

Fry the eggs sunny side up.

Plate the eggs, rashers, blood sausage, bangers, charred tomatoes, mushrooms and a loose pile of tomato beans with toast and a spot of tea.
