I'd forgotten what an odd contrast the English Breakfast (classic - is this only served in hotels any more?) is.
From an American perspective, it's like a Denny's Grand Slam gone awry. Two meats, some fried bread, a tomato and some egg. Occasionally you are served another starchy protein in the form of baked beans.
The meats themselves are amiss. You have a terrifically salty ham/bacon wedge, and then what is always a bit bland sausage. It just all comes out a little backwards.
Still, the protein is a kickstart to the day, for which the traveller is thankful.

Denny's Grand Slam gone awry. That's offensive. I'm shocked.
