Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the sausages over medium heat for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Fry the bacon in the same pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Meanwhile, place the kippers in a tall container, head first, so they “stand upright.” Pour boiling water over them, and set aside, covered. Lightly brown the black pudding in the pan for 1.5-2 minutes over medium heat on both sides, remove from the pan, and keep warm. Drizzle the mushrooms with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Add them to the pan with the tomatoes (cut-side down) and fry for 2 minutes over medium heat, then turn both over and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile, butter the stale toast on both sides, cut it in half to form triangles, and fry it in a very large frying pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes on one side. Then turn it over and add the eggs (next to it, not on top). Continue frying for another 3-4 minutes on a low heat, until the eggs are cooked through, but the yolks should remain runny. For the last 4 minutes, gently heat the baked beans, stirring occasionally, but do not boil. Drain the water from the kippers. Arrange all the ingredients on warmed plates. Place the fried eggs on top. Serve with freshly toasted toast and butter, HP sauce, orange juice, and tea.
