The beans and tomato? Eh, a garnish...

There are some things the British do very well, and breakfast is one of them.
But one English diner has proved that the UK is not always able to recreate morning meals from other countries to quite the same standard.
A photo of a so-called 'American' breakfast at a roadside restaurant somewhere in England has gone viral for not remotely resembling what Americans eat in the morning.
The picture, posted on Reddit by JeffSergeant, outraged Americans for pairing items in a traditional English fry-up with pancakes and waffles.

The tomatoes and mushrooms are not odd for breakfast if you have them in an omelette.
more common than you think. all over Asia tomatoes and beans are served for bfast. pretty good too, especially the tomatoes.
If it doesn’t have bacon, it’s not breakfast...
I hear that throughout China, “American Style Pizza” has corn and peas on it.
Which wouldn’t surprise me... It was when I got “New York Style Pizza” in Orlando and it had carrots on it that I got very, very worried.
Bubble and Sqeek?
Bangers and mash?
Kippers?
Yes, and they are good there
Remember, these kids are the ones who got Poptarts, Eggo waffles or Coco Puffs for breakfast. So it goes to say, that they freak out over vegetables for breakfast, of any sort.
It’s half right. Although that is fairly large portion even for Americans.
Not counting Michael Moore.
He is an American citizen?
The Israelis eat finely chopped salads for breakfast (among other foods).
The beans and tomato? Eh, a garnish...
Eggs and sausage, and Brussels sprouts with horseradish on the side. Beat that.
When I travel, just give me what the locals eat. No need to try to make me feel “at home.” I travel to try different stuff.
In Italy, breakfast was hard rolls and espresso in hot milk. Worked for me.
I didn’t mind the tomatoes and beans, or the mushrooms. The tomatoes I had were broiled with what I believe was parmesan cheese and some spices. I didn’t care for their bangers, and I wouldn’t touch the blood sausage. The bacon was quite good. I went on a 3 week bus tour of the British Isles, and most of the time we were able to pick what we wanted from a hot buffet. I hated the way they did their toast. They never buttered it before they served it to you. It was brought to the table in one of those toast holders, so it was always cold by the time you got it. There’s nothing worse than putting butter on cold toast.
You left off “kidneys on toast” and “steak and kidney pie”.
Looks pretty good to me. I prefer my bacon not crispy (crispy bacon seems to be an American thing). The only thing that could improve this breakfast would be melted cheese on the tomato.
How about spam, eggs, bacon, sausage, and spam? That’s not got much spam in it.
Speaking of breakfast, I went to a breakfast buffet at a hotel in Dubai. There was a pan of sausages there with a sign on it with a skull and crossbones and it read “Warning, this dish contains pork.”
I filled up my plate.
