<\/p>\nA group of breakfast experts, the English Breakfast Society, have claimed that hashbrowns should be banished from a full English, arguing that they do not “belong” on the plate and should be replaced with a traditional bubble and squeak. But do you agree? Vote in our poll.<\/p>\n

The campaign group is dedicated to the history, heritage, and culture of the English breakfast. Guise Bule de Missenden, founder of the English Breakfast Society, said: “Somebody had to put their foot down”. <\/p>\n
He continued: “Otherwise we’ll find kebab meat in our English breakfast before long. The hash brown – the reconstituted, tater-based fast-food – was popularised by McDonald’s but somehow we now find it in our English breakfast. <\/p>\n
“We’re all about bringing back the bubble. That’s the reason we’re saying no to hash browns. Hashtag, bring back the bubble.”<\/p>\n
Another member of the Society, 72-year-old Jon Gale said he is supporting the #BringBacktheBubble campaign due to the nostalgia and hatred of frozen hash browns. He said: “The problem is these days, if you go out for a meal, a breakfast in a cafe or a hotel, you tend to get these nasty little fatty triangles, deep-fried frozen potato.”<\/p>\n

Why not do something half decent and traditional and do a decent bit of bubble and squeak?”<\/p>\n English breakfast is typically made up of sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes and fried mushrooms. However, many Britons have their own take on the classic.<\/p>\n Felicity Cloake, a food journalist and author of Red Sauce Brown Sauce: A British Breakfast Odyssey, said hash browns are not on her plate. <\/p>\n She told The Times: “For me, the essential items are bacon, egg, sausage, black pudding, grilled or tinned tomatoes, fried mushrooms and then some sort of carb to soak up all the delicious grease – so bubble and squeak or a fried slice.<\/p>\n “Hash browns don’t work because, like chips, they’re already so crisp and oily they can’t absorb any more fat; you really need something softer and starchier to do the job properly.”<\/p>\n
