Typical British breakfast

Look at the picture of a typical British breakfast. Why do you think it is called a fry-up?

The typical English breakfast consists of eggs (eggs are an important part of British diet), sausages (unlike Czech sausages, the British ones are not smoked), bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and fried bread.

This is, however, a part of traditional British cuisine. Nowadays, the everyday breakfast usually consists of cornflakes and/or toast and marmelade or jam, washed down with a cup of tea or coffee.
