Would probably be a special request if you want the beans, blood sausage, et al. Call ahead.

But if you want the British flavor in your sausages, you'll probably have to order British bangers online ($50+)and cook them at home. US restaurants can't afford to offer those.

And now I'm curious. Are there American restaurants that actually import British bangers? Can they afford to do that? Are those "Irish sausages" on American menus imported from Ireland or "Irish-style"? Just wondering.

The prices look insane to me

I didn't say it was my favorite cheap bakery.

I’ll eat toad in the hole on occasion too. There are many countryside pubs in the uk with great food too.

Try this place for meat pies https://www.kiwikuisine.com/shipping-pies

Fixed that for you.

Cafe Kindred in Falls Church does a full English. Closed on Mondays. They root for Liverpool, if that affects your decision-making either way.

From their brunch menu:
Full Irish Breakfast $22.00
2 Eggs Your Way, Irish Bacon (rashers), Irish Sausage (bangers), Roasted Half Tomato with Herbed Breadcrumbs, Sautéed Mushrooms, Black & White Pudding, Boxty Potato Cake, Baked Beans, Slice of House Made Irish Soda Bread

OK even to me that sounds very tasty! Used to live in Islington and had my share of bad English brekkies.
