A traditional British breakfast consists of four elements: egg, tomato, beans, and bacon. The egg may be scrambled, fried, or boiled; the tomato is typically cooked whole; the bacon is of a different, wider cut than US bacon strips, and the beans baked in a sweetened sauce. The breakfast may also include an additional meat element; in England and Ireland this would most commonly be a small black pudding; in Scotland it might instead be haggis. It is usually accompanied by a strong breakfast tea.
