Whiskey. Tennessee whiskey, Spock! Care for a little snort?
You are free to eat it if you want but dont pretend it has anything to do with Bond:
'I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time' - as some bloke once said.
Eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, baked beans, hashbrowns and if you're brave enough you'd throw in chips(fries) and a cheeseburger with a glass of milk to flush it all down.
Just to clarify for any foreign readers out there I don't know what part of England you come from doubleoego but a cheeseburger has absolutely no business being in a full English. Also chips are not strictly correct. And you missed out the mushrooms, tomato, black pudding and I would always substitute fried bread for toast.
Not good for you in any way and to quote Partridge 'I'd have that every day if I could. But I'd be dead.'
I'm not sure about the milk either. I think tea is probably the classic drink but as I don't drink it (one the main reasons for the decline of the British Empire!) I guess I'd go for OJ but I don't think there are any particular rules about what one should drink. Maybe a Buck's Fizz to liven up the OJ a bit in Bondian style?
Sorry to correct but that's Whisk not Whiskey, although who knows it may work?
"Ian Fleming said that James Bond prefers simple local food when abroad. Bond loves scrambled eggs. Fleming also loved scrambled eggs and gave his fictional alter-ego a taste for them. James Bond will eat them day or night he wrote. The author gave a recipe for "Scrambled eggs James Bond" in his non-fiction work Thrilling Cities".
It may be strange to you but in England, we can eat beans and that's baked beans btw (the Heinz variety) at any given time. Harden stomachs do good comrades make, my friend.
For a true English you'd drop the hash browns (Too American, no disrespect to the USA), replace the toast with fried bread instead, add mushrooms as well as in the photo & if you really want to be brave & have the full monty go for black pudding.

It's bloody horrible IMO, but IS part of a traditional full English.
Yeah good call about the hash browns actually. As Greg Beam himself might say 'don't know how I could've missed that'.
I used to think black pudding was disgusting too but I had it served with some pork belly in a posh restaurant once and it was very good. I think if you get the good stuff it's not half bad. There's also a place in Porto high up on a cliff that does it with garlic and bacon - very decent as tapas.
What do we think for condiments gentlemen? Personally for a full english I couldn't countenance anything other than HP or Heinz ketchup depending on my mood.
"Coffee... Very black"
Totally agreed HP Brown Sauce or Ketchup no contest.
You will need:
2 pieces of bread, I prefer Hale and Hearty brand wheat but you can use whatever you wish
1 cucumber
Best Foods Mayonaise
1 banana
Pepper
1. Prepare your bread.
2. slather with mayonaise (so that the cucumber and bananas don't slide around)
3. Slice the cucumbers up, fry them if you wish for a more livelier taste
4. The bananas are surprisingly good with cucumber, trust me
5. Shake on a bit of pepper, I prefer cayenne ever so slightly to taste.
