Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.

Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, ... but still?

It's because the alternative is "continental breakfast" which consists of a few slices of warm ham, tiny slices of bread and a bunch of fruit that's already on the turn.
