A traditional British breakfast generally consists of four elements: egg, tomato, baked beans, and bacon, athough sausages may frequently be included also. The egg may be scrambled, fried, or boiled; the tomato is typically cooked whole; the bacon is of a different, wider cut than US bacon strips, and the beans are baked in a sweetened tomato sauce. The breakfast may also include an additional meat element; in England and Ireland this might often be a small black pudding; in Scotland it might instead be haggis; such a meal is sometimes called a "full breakfast." It is usually accompanied by a strong breakfast tea.
