We all know about English breakfasts, so I think (1)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] -which is far more delicious. Health experts say that it is not healthy if eaten regularly, but I don't think they will ever persuade anyone to give up this wonderful breakfast. It's a unique meal, and its success depends on top-quality products. Buy everything from a supermarket and you will have something which is traditional in name only. So, let's start with (2)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] The best thing is to go to your local butcher for some good smoked bacon, sausages, and black pudding. Of course, free-range eggs are essential, as is home-made bread-the sort of stuff they sell in supermarkets these days simply does not compare.

Of course, all these things have to be cooked carefully, Chuck everything into a pan together and you will have an inedible mess.

Not very difficult at all. But (4)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] things are a bit more complicated. Sausages go in first, followed by the bacon, then the eggs and lastly the pudding. Too often, the pudding goes in too early, as people mistakenly imagine that it needs a lot of cooking when, in fact, (5)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]

The heat must be kept just right and the cooking of the breakfast must not be hurried. If you wish to add some tomato, it's a good idea to grill it separately, which keeps its natural sweetness safe from fat flavours.

As the cooking must not be hurried, neither must the eating. Where workday breakfasts have become quick and simple, (6)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] .Therefore, have the table laid properly and take your time to enjoy it.

A. this sort of breakfast needs our indulgence
B. it`s time to learn about Irish breakfast
C. when cooking the traditional Irish breakfast
