Full breakfast
A Full breakfast (pronounced: /fʊl ˈbrɛkfəst/) is a substantial breakfast meal that typically includes bacon, sausages, eggs, and a variety of other cooked foods, often served with tea or coffee. It is especially popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Etymology
The term "full" in this context originated from the fact that the breakfast includes multiple courses, typically more than a typical continental breakfast. The term "breakfast" is derived from the action of "breaking the fast" of the overnight period.
