By the time Queen Victoria came to the throne, the gentry class was in decline and a wealthy middle class was emerging.
The Industrial Revolution and the British Empire at its height were fantastic creators of wealth and the newly rich middle classes saw the idea of the gentry as a social model to aspire towards. Those seeking to advance themselves socially, studied the habits of the gentry, the traditions of their country houses and their fondness for the English breakfast.
For the aspiring Victorian middle classes, breakfast became a chance to demonstrate your wealth and social upbringing.
Like all great Victorian traditions, the eating of full English breakfast can be a refined and elegant experience, it is easy to understand why the more affluent middle and upper class Victorians thought of the traditional full English breakfast as the most civilised way to begin their day and regularly indulged in the tradition.
But the full English breakfast was not just a meal for the wealthy, during the industrial revolution, the working classes began to eat a full English breakfast on a regular basis, it was sensible to eat a hearty breakfast before starting the day, providing them with the energy they needed, to work a full days worth of grinding manual labour.
The English breakfast tradition spread until its peak in the early 1950's, when roughly half of the British population started their day with a full English breakfast, turning what was once a meal for the nobility into a national breakfast dish.
For more than two centuries, the tradition of the full English breakfast has been enjoyed across the full spectrum of British society and it for this reason that the full English breakfast is still being served in family kitchens, hotels, bed & breakfast's and pubs throughout Great Britain and in countless British (English, Irish or Scottish) pubs internationally.
The traditional full English breakfast was so popular, that the Scottish and the Irish developed their own versions and in doing so, changed what was a predominantly English tradition into a much loved British tradition and it is for this reason that the full English breakfast must be considered to be a British cultural institution.
