Animals were brutalized to make half of it, the texture of the tomato is weird, and marmelade is too monotonically bitter for what is available to be combined with.
Beans on toast are honestly the best part.
But the real shame is that for an extra 10% of the price it could be so much better by adding spices. A full English isn’t depressing because of its materials but because of its potential.
It’s fine food, sure, but it is on the low end of dishes that include its ingredients.
(For the record, I’m Dutch, our “traditional” (read: late 19th century puritan) slop involves doing extra work to be actively hostile to flavor, making a full english seem indulgent).
