Abstract
In celebration of English Breakfast Day (Friday 2nd December) meal box delivery company HelloFresh has surveyed Brits to find out their favourite item from a full English breakfast.

The survey revealed that Brits favour bacon on their breakfast (29%), followed by sausages (21%) and a fried egg (17%).

One in twenty people prefer black pudding for breakfast over beans, while mushrooms have been identified as the UK's preferred vegetable addition, topping tomatoes which were the least popular item, receiving only 2% of the vote.

People in Glasgow and Liverpool ranked sausages higher than bacon. The two were equally popular in Belfast, where the classic fry-up is known as an Irish Breakfast or Ulster Breakfast with added ingredients like fried soda bread, potato pancakes and white pudding.

Mimi Morley, recipe development manager at HelloFresh said: “Over the years, thousands of households have made the full English breakfast a tradition! Whether it's fuel for physical labour, a hangover cure or a weekend treat, you can always count on this hearty platter. 

“And now, there are lots of options for alternative recipes to the traditional dish, making it even more sought after amongst Brits! But if you are bored of the same old sausages and beans, we’ve been able to find the best-tasting additions you can try at home.”
