I'm always given the option when ordering a fry up at my regular cafe.
Hash Browns or Black Pudding - Hash Browns.
Beans or Tomatoes - Beans.
It's a yes from me.

They are fantastic, but I don't want them on my English Breakfast.
I want a DRY plate with just a SPLODGE of sauce to dip my individual items in.
I don't want JUICE touching each individual item.

I do not have them on a breakfast other than if I have beans on toast or fried bread but love them with pie and chips or cottage pie but they must be Branstons.

I would say no, but mainly because nobody cooks them as I like them - they always come far too runny, and I like my sauce nearly cooked away. You don't want runny beans on an English.

Chips are a far bigger faux pas on a fry-up than beans.

Why not all three?
If only you had the option to create a poll people could vote on................
Anyway, for me the answer is "sometimes" which probably wouldn't have been one of the poll options
. If the alternative on a set is tomatoes OR beans then I'll have the beans because I don't like cooked tomatoes as much, especially early doors. If they are served separately in a pot like the hotel we stay in regularly in Oxfordshire when we visit my wife's family then, again, it's a yes. If served next to, or, God forbid, on top of the egg or the bacon then it;s a big fat no. Egg and beans doesn't go and I don't want anything softening the crispness of my bacon.
For me fried potatoes and / or chips are also a no-no. It's got to be egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushroom and fried bread with beans following the above rules.

Beans beans the musical fruit
The more you eat
The more you toot
I love them, especially in a hash
Absolutely essential IMHO. A full English is too dry without them.
In fact, I would argue one of the only essential items, along with eggs. As you can have toast OR fried bread (but ideally both). Sausages OR bacon (but ideally both).
As an aside, it amazes me how partisan people are about brands. I'm quite happy with any (though the best I've tried are lidl own brand -better than he in and Branston by some way).

The big question for me is fresh fried or tinned tomatoes, on a breakfast I prefer tinned on everything else fresh fried.

They've never even heard of them over there... Baked beans are as British as tea(?) and crumpets.
