Breakfast lovers divided over which fry-up item they would 'get rid of'

Whether you're vegan, vegetarian or anything in between, one dish that brings everyone together is a fry-up.

With all the non-meat alternatives available, everyone can enjoy the classic breakfast dish. The Daily Record reports that there are a solid few favourites that the majority of the UK agrees on, like bacon, sausages and eggs.

But one Twitter post has stirred up quite the angry debate on what part of a fry-up could be taken away from the dish, and it would still serve up successfully. Twitter account @NoContextBrits started the debate with its 1.2 million followers over the weekend.

The post read: "You have to lose one item. What is it?" This was posted alongside a photo of a classic fry-up.

In the fry-up photo was all the classics: fried eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausages, black pudding, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast and black pudding.

Twitter users were quick to spark a discussion over their own personal preferences for each food, and a fierce debate formed over which item was ready to go.

One popular opinion was the displacement of baked beans, as one person said: "Beans. I mean who likes beans?"

Another agreed, saying: "Beans hands down. No fry up should have tomato based products on it."

However, not everyone agreed, as one defended the baked beans position on the plate. They wrote: "Who are all the people saying beans? You need their sauce to dip the sausage and wipe up with the bread!"

One Scottish food that faced backlash was black pudding, as many people disagreed with its position on the plate. One disgusted Twitter user said: "Whatever those black pucks are."

Another agreed, saying: "Black pudding, everything else stays."

While a third exclaimed: "What's that charred black stuff?"

Hash browns even got some stick, as one said: "Hash browns don't belong on a full English so it's gotta be that."

One person even joked that they'd "get rid of the plate", as each item was integral to the fry-up experience.

Which fry-up item would you get rid of? Let us know in the comments.
