1、什么是全英式早餐

(What is a Full English Breakfast)?

Throughout Britain and Ireland, the Full breakfast is famous. It is not now eaten every day but saved for weekends and vacations. The term full comes from the fact the breakfast is, well, full of different food stuff as you can read about below. Full Breakfast is served, as you would expect at breakfast time but is also popular at throughout the day, often replacing lunch. Rarely is it eaten every day of the week, reserved instead for the weekend or on vacation in hotels and Bed and Breakfasts, where no stay would be complete without one.

在大不列颠岛和爱尔兰,全英式早餐比较常见。之所以叫“full”,是因为早餐中含有各种各样丰富的食材。这种早餐不仅仅在上午供应,全天都有,甚至常用来代替午餐。这种早餐往往不是每天都吃的,而是常在周末或假期里吃。

Breakfast may begin with orange juice, cereals, stewed or fresh fruits but the heart of the Full breakfast is bacon and eggs, variously accompanied by sausages, grilled tomato, mushrooms, tea, toast, and marmalade.

全英式早餐可能会从橙汁、燕麦或水果开始,但其核心食材是培根鸡蛋,同时伴有香肠、烤番茄、蘑菇、茶、吐司和果酱。

Each country in the UK and Ireland also have their choice of accompaniments; it is up to the individual just how much they want on their plate and their preferences. You may find the following:

英国不同地方的早餐,佐料有所不同,而且因人而异。

  • An Ulster Fry is not dissimilar to a Full English but may also have soda bread and is served again, throughout the day.(阿尔斯特早餐跟爱尔兰地区的很像,常伴有苏打面包,全天供应)
