A "fry up" is a traditional British breakfast dish that typically includes a combination of the following items:

• Bacon: Usually grilled or fried until crispy.
• Sausage: Often pork sausages, but there are variations that include other types of sausage.
• Black pudding: A type of blood sausage that is sliced and fried.
• Baked beans: Cooked in a tomato sauce and served hot.
• Fried eggs: Often served sunny-side-up or over-easy.
• Grilled tomatoes: Halved or quartered and grilled until softened.
• Fried mushrooms: Sliced and fried until browned.
• Toast: Usually white or brown bread, lightly toasted and buttered.

Some variations of the fry up may also include items like hash browns, fried bread, or white or black pudding. The fry up is typically served with a hot beverage, such as tea or coffee. While the fry up is considered a traditional breakfast dish in the UK, it is also enjoyed by many people around the world as a hearty and satisfying meal.
