Brit baffled after being served Full English with fruit salad and 'weird' twist

Indulging in a Full English breakfast on a groggy Sunday morning can work wonders after a night on the tiles. The tantalising blend of sizzling bacon, oozy eggs, and plump sausages, accompanied by golden toast slathered in butter, tasty beans, and earthy mushrooms, provides just the kick one needs to combat even the worst of hangovers. However, it's fairly well-known that when venturing overseas, some eateries haven't quite mastered the quintessential British fry-up. Rather than sticking to tradition, many international chefs add their own flair to our cherished morning staple – much to the chagrin of British holidaymakers.
A Reddit user recently posted about their rather "weird" encounter with what they hoped would be a comforting Full English while in Berlin, Germany. Instead of basking in the familiar comfort food, they were surprised to find an offbeat twist added to their order. In addition to the expected elements of the breakfast, they were presented with "spicy" sausages and a quirky accompaniment: a bowl bursting with various fruits, save for tomatoes. Their bewilderment echoed through their post: "In Berlin they served me a Full English with spicy sausages, a fruit bowl with every fruit bar tomatoes and looked at me in shock when I asked for condiments. Weirdest experience I've had for a while. Fry ups aren't very common here by the way.".
Folks were swift to share their thoughts on the quirky twist to the beloved British breakfast in the comments section. One individual penned: "I kind of like the idea of a fruit salad as a kind of dessert after eating a fry-up. Having it on the same plate is weird though.". Another chimed in with a cheeky remark: "Like they pity the English heart and go 'please have the fruit'." Meanwhile, another commenter defended the concept, suggesting: "This is preferable to a Full English to this Brit – some fruit to balance all that grease.".
