"Quintessentially British" things on toast

Marmalade? Without a doubt.
Cheese? Yep, every day of the week.
Beans? Loved it as a kid. Still do.
Mince?
Apparently this is a "quintessentially British comfort classic":

Anyone on here feel the stirrings of patriotism or feel classicly comforted upon seeing that photo? I've been British all my life and I've never once heard of this mess let alone eaten it.
I actually posted a photo of this very dish I ate a few months ago in the Restaurant thread. I was certainly comforted but didn't feel the urge to sing Rule Brittania.

Soft boiled egg, toast with real butter cut in to soldiers, the Today programme and a cup of tea.
Though, being a member of the liberal European elite I often swap the tea for black coffee.

I'm with you to a tee, (although not tea).
Cowfold Seagull still loves EU (you). See what I did there?

Quick search on the internet reveals this to be an Australian / New Zealand thing.

Mushrooms on toast. Bit of pickle on the side. Does it for me.
Scrambled eggs on toast, plenty of salt and pepper and some parsley and a black coffee is my go-to post run breakfast. I think it's British but not sure.

Strangely, that actually looks quite nice. If I ever have any chilli or Bolognese left over, I may try this. But definitely not British.

The most curious thing..
Ketchup
Egg
Mushrooms
Sardines
Cheese
Toast
Slightly burnt as the top of the pile always gets a bit too close to the grill flame.

My choice is beef dripping with salt and pepper and a thin spreading of marmite if there is none from the bottom of the dish on it..
