Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were 1 everywhere.

The English breakfast is world famous, and is one of the things that many tourists go for when they stay in a hotel in the UK. You might be scared by its greasy appearance but, believe me, it is one of the tastiest and most comforting things you can eat. Most cafes also serve full English breakfasts all day – in fact they are called “all-day breakfasts”. This meal is so big that you will probably not need to eat lunch if you have it.
So what does it consist of? Well, in its simplest form it is just bacon and fried eggs. However, the full version can consist of fruit juice and milk, followed by bacon, sausages, fried tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, black pudding, French toast and eggs.
Most people don’t actually have the time to cook a full breakfast at home, so they either have just toast and tea or coffee, or they get something on the way to work.
