First saw this in V For Vendetta. Think it's called Egg In A Bucket/Basket. 

Moore hated that, to the point where he named it as one of the reasons he declined to be involved with the film when he read the screenplay.

"It was imbecilic; it had plot holes you couldn't have got away with in Whizzer And Chips in the nineteen sixties. Plot holes no one had noticed." What Moore found most laughable however were the details. "They don't know what British people have for breakfast, they couldn't be bothered. 'Eggy in a basket' apparently. Now the US have 'eggs in a basket,' whish is fried bread with a fried egg in a hole in the middle. I guess they thought we must eat that as well, and thought 'eggy in a basket' was a quaint and Olde Worlde version."

Some cunts gonna rock up here advocating for McCain Smiles with a fry-up aren't they.

We had Smiles deep fried to a crisp on our cooked breakfast at the ÂŁ15 a night bed and breakfast we stayed at years ago. It still get's a laugh to this day.

Scotland also do those slices of heavy fruit pudding/cake that’s you fry up at the same time.  Those are well nice.

Staying at a hotel in Scotland once and they had a bottle of whisky at the porridge station. So I tried putting a splash in one morning. As you might expect, it was fucking disgusting.

Square sausage is an absolute treat though, so they do get some things right when they're not trying to put oats or booze into everything. Served with proper sausages as part of a fry up of course.
