Do I really need to start quoting references that show what should and what should not be in a full English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh breakfast? I think you'll find that pork (sausages and bacon) feature heavily in all of those and in many 'full' breakfasts served in Australia too. So sure, it doesn't have to feature, in the same way that I can order a burger without beetroot, but most people would expect it to.

I agree that some are taking that view but that's not where I am coming from. I'm not going any further than that, to avoid this thread going down the track that it went last time.
