Right then. I said I'd be up for summing up/deconstructing the look of some famous (historical or current) Brit/someone important to British culture somehow, with suggestions of how to do a tribute or homage outfit whilst fitting modern fashion conventions. And that's what I'm gonna do. I wondered who I'd start with, and in the end I decided I was running out of time so I'd go with my gut (hurr hurr) The Full Breakfast. It goes by many names (English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh..)! And according to the almighty Wikipedia, the "traditional" English (as I know it) is mostly a twentieth century invention. Does that make it untraditional? No! It's older than most of us, I'd wager, and it's an iconic foodstuff shared throughout Britain and the UK. That's important - what do we have otherwise? The English have Le Rosbif, Scotland has the Haggis, Wales has rarebit, Ireland has Guinness and stew, and there are local, regional specialities throughout. Of course we all eat a whole lot in general that's similar. But the breakfast is something that each country (or piece of country, begging your pardon Republic of Ireland) recognises as Traditional. Who cares if it's new? It's a bond. So what's in a breakfast and why do I think you can wear one? Wear one on purpose, that is, not just the stains of morning-meal carelessness.

Hash browns Wondering how it occurred to me to say "dress like food, guys!"? I answer with the final piece of the breakfast puzzle and my accidental cosplay: Baked Beans
