It's said to be the most important meal of the day...even if only six per cent of us eat it.
據說早餐是一日三餐中最重要的一餐……雖然只有6%的人會吃早餐。
But a poll has now decided what should be on the plate for the perfect full English breakfast.
通過投票,人們選出了一頓豐盛的全英式早餐所應包含的食物。
And there is no room for 『johnny come lately』 hash browns or northern delicacy black pudding.
新興的美式香煎土豆絲和北方美食黑布丁則不在此列。
A poll of 2,000 people made the decision and it is:
2000人投票選出的是:
Fried eggs, smoked bacon, thick sausages, grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, toast and baked beans.
煎蛋、醺肉、粗香腸、烤番茄、炸蘑菇、吐司和烘豆。
And while this might be a big spread, cooked breakfasts are the cheapest they've been for five years.
這個結果或許將會廣為傳播,但煮早餐早已是近5年以來最實惠的早餐方式了。
Almost half the people asked made the full English their favourite breakfast dish and over a third of Brits eat breakfast out more than once a month.
參與投票的人中幾乎有一半都的最愛是全英式早餐,而超過三分之一的英國人每個月至少會出去吃一頓早餐。
And there is still fierce debate over the perfect condiment to accompany the Full English breakfast – in the South, ketchup is the sauce of choice but in the North, breakfast champions refuse to use any condiment other than brown sauce.
至於全英式早餐要配什麼佐料,人們仍然在激烈爭論著。在南部,人們會選擇番茄醬,但在北部,早餐的佐料只會用棕醬。
Mitchells & Butlers - the company behind high street pub and bar chains like Toby Carvery, Harvester restaurants and Sizzling Pubs – carried out the research and the firm’s marketing specialist Jo Hudson, said: 「There is so much debate about the Full English breakfast that we wanted to identify what Britain really wanted on its classic breakfast plate.
這個調查是由Mitchells & Butlers發起的,這家公司支撐著Toby烤肉店、Harvester餐廳和Sizzling酒館這樣的商業街酒吧連鎖。公司的市場專家瓊·哈德森說:「關於全英式早餐的爭論太多了,所以我們想確認一下英國人真正想要的傳統早餐是什麼樣的。」
「We』ve discovered that there is a north-south divide when it comes to certain breakfast items. In the north, for example, they prefer unsmoked bacon and they insist on black pudding and brown sauce on their Full English. But in the south, they won’t warrant a breakfast without ketchup, smoked bacon and no black pudding.
「我們發現了南北在某些早餐菜式上存在差異。比如說在北方,人們更喜歡非煙燻肉,認為全英式早餐裡必須要有黑布丁和棕醬。但在南方,人們不會接受一頓沒有番茄醬和煙燻肉的早餐,也不吃黑布丁。
「But we』ve crunched the statistics and come up with the definitive Full English breakfast plate as voted for by the majority of Brits.」
「但我們得出了一份權威的全英式早餐菜式列表,這是經過英國大多數人的投票後,我們處理投票數據得出的。」
The survey reveals that 67% of Brits eat breakfast every day and most -51% - eat breakfast alone.
調查顯示,67%的英國人每天都會吃早餐,大多數人(51%)是獨自吃早餐的。
