How is a Tomato part of a wholly English breakfast? Or is that an order rather than a description of the plate? You silly islanders and your foreign language confuse me.

I don't know, I'm from Chicago too and I rather like their thin crust, as chain pizza goes, and definitely dig their cheese bread sticks. But then, I've eaten enough pizza such that it is no longer pizza, but specific types and brands of pizza, all of which are separate foods. I get cravings for Giordano's, Uno's, Pizza Hut, or Coalfire, not just pizza.

Only at ball games Tom?! Your seeing yourself off there mate! I love hotdogs me.. The American fascination with them intrigues me and I always go to the good eateries for them stateside. I have been to pinks several times, and Scoobies in LA and the famous NY one i forget the name of..
I love sourkraut and avocado and chilli and all the other bizarre gak you lads stick on them.
And after my missus told me that the dogs themselves are comprised largely of lips and arseholes my enjoyment of them has increased a thousand fold!

That's bacon not ham.
Aside from horror at what passes for cheese stateside the most common "complaint"/comment I hear from people who've tripped over the pond is how different and not as nice your bacon is.
Ham is normally served cold -- say in a sandwich for example.
You might get bits in a pie, quiche or a pasta sauce, but apart form that to the best of my current recollection the only other time you'd be served hot ham is if you order egg, chips and ham ( often with a slice of pineapple) which is a fairly common pub meal.

The thing that took me by surprise the most when I went to the States some 20 years ago now, was that when I had a cooked breakfast, the sausages were like little burgers rather than the round cylinder we know and love over here. Oh and grits - but I quite liked them even though they seemed to be an acquired taste amongst the rest of my family.

Top of my head I don't know any pubs round my way that serve the pineapple with this ...
.... might be a "Poppins" or similar chain restaurant that does maybe ? And that is a fairly retro dish, kind of a 7-0s vibe.
.. When pineapple was "exotic" I guess ...? 
http://www.endlesssimmer.com/2010/11/09/three-little-pigs/
seems about right to me bacon wise.
You guys, from what I've seen, seem much keener on crispy bacon than we tend to be over here -- but there's arguments and division on that point over here akin to the Civil War so tread careful ! -- and the "bacon buttie" seems much common or popular over here.
All the americans I know who've tried one love the British bacon buttie but OMMV of course.

In the UK there are two types of bacon which are streaky and back. Streaky is basically like the regular US bacon and back is like Canadian.
The main difference is that the bacon is usually cooked to pink rather than brown and brittle.
Another thing to note is that either type of bacon can be bought smoked or unsmoked. You can also get different smokes and cures.

Pretty much standard in Wales, I'd say 90% of pubs/restaurants offer Gammon with either 2 eggs, 2 rings of grilled pineapple or 1 of each. It's actually pretty damn good with 1 of each...
They have been available in Newport Pizza Hut for about a fortnight (not surprising really...)
As for the OT, the only reason I haven't yet order one of those pizzas is that 1. they only come in large sizes and 2. large pizzas are stupidly expensive (general rule of major-chain pizza takeaways)
I don't see why this should be seen as derogatory to British Food, we invented the deep-fried Mars Bar, deep-fried black pudding and at least 20 other things that are worse for you (and fouler tasting) that we should be ashamed of first.
Plus, GOOD British food can be a damn fine taste experience

Regards British Bacon Dogma, I dont know if you get Fresh and Easy up there, but they are common in California, and they (being a subsidary of Tesco) sell British style bacon.
When I was living in CA we always used to get our bacon from there. I love American breakfasts (Pancakes and all) but the bacon is way better over here, Its always that streaky stuff stateside, with heaps more fat on it.

The wife, would pick me up from Brize, take me home, I would obviously *get back in Date*, then she would fix me this and then I would sleep for 36 hours.  Beautiful, and not as Red Meat orientated as a Greasy Spoon breakfast, although the Eggs can be harsh on the old cholesterol count.

British Food gets a real bad deal, there are many amazing British Culinary delights. We have fantastic Cheese in Britain, even better than France, our Diary produce is amazing as are our baked goods. Having lived in the US, getting hold of good Cheese was impossible. Even the Deli's lacked what I would consider a decent selection, equally your bread is appalling. Pike Place Market in Seattle had the best Chowder I have ever tasted, and the Pike Place brewery does a good version of German Dunkel and weiser Beers. Canada had the best beef I have ever tasted, equally their bread/ cheese and such in SAFEWAY supermarkets was much closer to back home in the UK in terms of quality and diversity than in the US.

You forgot the toast. I don't put the syrup on the bacon and eggs, but maple syrup on waffles or pancakes is the bomb. Throw some strawberries on top for good measure. But not strawberry syrup. That gak is from the devil.

I can see the appeal of syrup on pancakes or waffles -- we eat similar over here. Especially on "Jif lemon day".
