I read recently (it may be an urban myth?) that there are 28 countries in the world that the British (by which we normally mean the English, really) have not invaded. As for the Universal Breakfast, any tomatoes in it should be grilled or fried till soft, and preferably caramelised a little, which can be done by adding a sprinkling of brown sugar on the top, then turning the half-tomato over. It's a thing of constant cultural change; I recently had it in Goodenough College in London expressed as rashers, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, two kinds of sausages and hash browns. There were also tomatoes available but they looked unhappily half-raw, as well as poached eggs, fried eggs, baked beans (shudder) and other… things.
