The mention of grand breakfasts can be traced back to the early 1300s and their popularity continued after the Second World War, with the lifting of rations, when the English breakfast tradition spread from the middle to the working classes and it became the staple way to start the day for a huge proportion of the population. As today, it was served in family kitchens, hotels, bed and breakfasts, pubs and cafes throughout the country. The recipes collected here offer up a delicious taste of England to kick-start any day.Recipes included: Porridge, Breakfast Rolls, Kedgeree, Gateshead Floddies, Devilled Kidneys, Full English, Buttered Eggs, Kippers, 3 Fruit Marmalade and Fresh Berries with Oatmeal Cream.
