A proper full english breakfast doesn't have beans

There. I've said it.

Eggs - yes please - the yolkier the better.

Mushrooms. Of course. Big beefy ones

Sausages and back bacon.... The best the local butcher can provide.

Regional specialities... splendid! Be it black pudding, cockles or even seaweed... the regional corner of the plate is a welcome addition.

Tomatoes. Well only if full of flavour, properly cooked. Watery pale gristly substitutes not welcome

Toast: Fresh bread of any description with real butter. Please. No dyed hydrogenated factory mush substitute.

...all washed down with a strong mug of tea.

But beans? Only if the rest of the ingredients are rubbish would a dollop of sugary, salty bean sauce be a benefit. Leave the can opener alone!

(I speak as someone brought up on baked beans. Giving them up was as transformative to the enjoyment of life as giving up watching the news!)
