I love a "Full English" but am also very fond of the Dutch Brekky of Hard boiled eggs, sliced cheeses, sliced cold meats and several different breads with preserves and butter.
One of the best breakfasts I have had of late was fresh baked baps filled with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, baps with hot bacon and baps with sausages. Help yourself at a buffet for 50 and only 20 of us turned up. I made a pig of myself  redface:.
This most perfect spread was laid on at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham (Football Club) in the Directors Dining Room and was paid for by HM Customs and Revenue who were holding a seminar to which I had been invited as a "local representative"

Sounds good Snoops!

The best on I've had recently - my own excepted  redface: - was at a local pub:

Perfectly grilled bacon, a Cumberland sausage, smoked black pudding, eggs, baked beans,
grilled tomatoes, sautéed potatoes & Portabello mushroom  cloud9:

Anecdotal reports of allergic reactions.
A risk of the decomposition advancing to a toxic state. (Folk wisdom in Sardinia holds that the presence of still-living larvae is an assurance that this has not yet happened.)
Risk of enteric myiasis: intestinal larval infection. Piophila casei larvae can pass through the stomach alive (human stomach acids do not usually kill them) and take up residency for some period of time in the intestines, where they can cause serious lesions as they attempt to bore through the intestinal walls. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea.[2]

You should know that. WHolemeal is what it means. Brown is white bread dyed brown
