If you like a delicious, crispy hash brown on your breakfast plate, you're in for a shock, as one expert has claimed they don't belong on your full English whatsoever.
The English Breakfast Society has dubbed the frozen potato treats as "a lazy American replacement" to bubble and squeak, as the traditional breakfast lovers fear that fish fingers or even kebab meat could soon be added to the list of acceptable accompaniments on a brekkie.
The group, which is made up of academics and fry-up fanatics, has blasted people who opt for golden has browns, saying they lack pride in the English breakfast tradition.

"Frozen hash browns are a lazy American replacement for traditional bubble and squeak, served by those who lack pride in the English breakfast tradition.
"Somebody has to draw the line somewhere and say 'no hash browns' because if we let the hash browns thing slide and become part of the tradition what's next? Fish fingers? Kebab meat?"
On its website, the society lists a full English breakfast should consist of sausage, bacon, fried egg, grilled tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, black pudding, and toast.
According to the experts, it should then be paired with tea or coffee, along with a glass of orange juice.
The society also notes a selection of newspapers should accompany the morning meal.
The findings have been welcomed by fry-up-loving Brits.
One said: "Thank you. Finally someone who has drawn a line in the sand. I hate the things."
Another wrote: "Amen to that."
A full English lover said: "Absolutely."
Someone else said: "This is the important stuff in life. Standards."
