The traditional English breakfast includes most (or all) of the following foods: bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, sausages, tomatoes (often fried), mushrooms (also fried), toast, juice and tea or coffee. The breakfast is known as a "full" breakfast not only because it starts with a full plate, but because it leaves you with a full stomach. Despite its size, however, it is still only a meal and won't last forever no matter how you feel for the first hour or so after one.

For a never-ending breakfast, you'll have to consider what one man in Wales did. Dayne Gilbey, 19, volunteered to get a full English breakfast tattooed on the top of his head by tattoo artist Blane Dickinson. Dickinson put out a call for a volunteer because he wanted to do something different and because tattoos are often very personal, it can be hard to find interested parties for more unusual designs. Dickinson came up with the breakfast idea four years ago and has been waiting ever since. The tattoo took six hours to do and, if he had charged for it (which he didn't) would have cost £350 ($685).

Chubby Hubby snapped this shot of a Full English breakfast while out to brunch with his wife, reviewing a restaurant. A Full English breakfast, also called a fry-up, is oily, fatty, filling and basically the perfect way to get breakfast started if you are one of the following: English, don't worry about cholesterol, or - according to a number of very insistent people - are trying to recover from a hang-over. The components of the meal will vary slightly from place to place, but they generally include almost all of the following: bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, sausages, tomatoes (fried), mushrooms (also fried), toast , juice and tea or coffee. Personally, I feel full just looking at this picture for too long, but if you're ever had a good fry up, or been at the table when one is served, you probably already know that the smell is good enough to overcome feelings of fullness. You might want to try whipping one up at home on a weekend morning, though you also might want to consider going for a little jog around the block before you do.
