The Full English is often claimed to originate among the medieval elite, while some of its constituent elements easily date back to the Bronze Age. Bread, for instance, was a staple in Egypt, Sumer and the Indus Valley, as common in Homer's Greece as Caesar's Rome. On the other hand, tomatoes and potatoes are rather conspicuous due to being New World vegetables not introduced to European cooking until the 1500s. This rather brings into question just how English the English Breakfast is. The 'Full English Breakfast' as we know it appears to be early modern at best.
