Full English
My favourite breakfast is and always has been, a full English. I couldn't eat it every day, heck I couldn't eat it more than once a week but there is something so satisfying about it.
Whether it's the meaty Hawksmoor breakfast (below) or the diminutive take on a full English at Pollen Street Social as a starter (photo to follow when I get it off my old Blackberry) in the evening, it's clearly my favourite.
Eggs Benedict, French toast with crispy bacon, waffles or a simple mushroom omelette all come a close second.

Not specific to any one country, but my favorite breakfast is a full brunch at any one of a number of higher-end Asia hotels. Eggs, Dim Sum, fresh juices, coffee/tea, et al. YUMMY!

I have had breakfast buffets with a combination of American, English, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese. Unfortunately, when I return from an Asian business trip, I have somehow "found" an extra 10 or 15 lbs.

I have a rose-tinted view of the British Army Breakfast in the mess! Elements of a full English (scrambled eggs, toast [fried bread if a particular chef was on], baked beans, stewed or fried tomatoes) as I don't eat meat. They just had it down to a fine art. Less so where breakfast was served 'cafeteria style' but even then it wasn't bad!

But am also very fond of a Full English/Scottish/Irish on weekends and special occasions or then a traditional Chinese/Japanese/Korean brekkie that have become very familiar during the years.
Btw, that Hawksmoor breakfast pic looks all too delicious...Can't wait to get there now to try.

Herring isn't really a German breakfast staple in most parts, but since North Germany gets lots of Scandinavian tourists, it can be found on most breakfast buffets. I much prefer it to the rather boring farmed salmon.

The baked beans with small pieces of pig trotter are truly delicious but it's the HP gravy (HP sauce based gravy) makes a brilliant breakfast, exceptional.
