4 rashers good quality smoked bacon, 3 aberdeen angus beef sausages, 2 fried free-range eggs, fried mushrooms (no salt as it pulls the moisture out of them imo) 1/2L o/j with bits not the smooth stuff, 2 potatoe waffles and a slice of wholemeal toast with grains. Lashings and lashings of brown sauce and a sleep afterwards!!

You have to start with decent ingredients in the first place, so that means proper sausages (not those ears, eyes and arseholes type from a supermarket), decent free range eggs, bacon that hasn't been hydrogenated out of all existence (again, non-supermarket) with some decent fresh bread. Decent mushrooms are a barstard to get hold of but these combined with the above plus some tomatoes should provide the backbone of a decent breakfast.
Eggs - I prefer mine poached as there is a tendency for too much fried food in an English breakfast and poach it properly, not in one of those stupid poaching trays. Break the eggs into lightly simmering water, take off the heat and leave for ten minutes using a timer if need be.
Sausages - I grill mine and start with these as they take the longest turning them over regularly to prevent burning or incineration.
Mushrooms - these can take some time but generally I don't like them too soggy so I add some chunky salt to 'seal' them and slow the cooking down.
Bacon - not too much fat but enough to add to the frying process. If you have decent quality bacon then you won't see any runny white stuff spill out from the meat - if any does, then you've bought crap. Use virgin olive oil but not extra virgin as this can taint the food too much although this depends on personal preference.
Tomatoes - fry these putting them on last as you don't want them soggy and the juices shouldn't overwhelm the bacon and mushrooms already in the pan.
Toast - self explanatory but with plenty of Lurpak (non-salted).
Whack the poached eggs onto the toast, line up the sausages alongside the bacon and put the mushrooms and tomatoes to one side of the plate whilst lightly dusting it all with coarse grain pepper.
You know when you've cooked a good one because afterwards you don't feel bloated unless you go overboard with the toast and marmalade afterwards. Should always be accompanied by tea.

The one I ate every day for a full week in Cornwall, when I was a student on a field week:
Orange juice or grapefruit juice
2 fried eggs
2 back bacon
2 decent sausages
baked beans,
mushrooms,
fried tomatoes, (NOT out of a can)
tomatoes out of a can
fried black pudding
fried white pudding
fried bubble and squeak
toast
fried bread
then toast and jam until I couldn't eat any more, all washed down with pint pots of coffee.
Coupled with the ENORMOUS pasties at lunch, then a HUGE evening meal followed by pints of scrumpy, I put on about 8 lbs in a week
Mind: in those days, I could afford to

But the breakfast is fantastic, proper food cooked the way i like it. No vegetable oil here my lad, they use lard...
