DO you prefer your eggs scrambled, poached or fried?

Would you add ketchup or brown sauce to a bacon sandwich?

Whether it’s a simple bacon sandwich, thick cut toasted bread with butter and jam or a full English – the choice of what to have for breakfast is endless.

The Big Breakfast Day is a reminder to slow down and enjoy the most important meal of the day at a more leisurely pace instead of grabbing a cold cup of coffee on your way out of the house.
