The episode is sponsored by Warner Brothers Games' Hogwarts Legacy, an immersive open-world game where players experience life as a Hogwarts student. The content creator makes an authentic full English breakfast, including "bubble and squeak" (fried mashed potato and cabbage), bangers (British breakfast sausage), back bacon, black pudding (blood sausage), and Heinz beans. The meal is cooked on a large flat top, with various ingredients intermingling.
Later, the creator makes an Americanized version of the breakfast, using ingredients like hash browns, bacon, Canadian bacon, breakfast sausage, and navy beans in a tomato-based sauce. The American breakfast is cooked using similar techniques but with different ingredients and presentation. The creator concludes that while the American breakfast is delicious, it doesn't quite live up to the British version, especially the sausages.
