Wow. I tried "Canberra" and "Capital" for "Australian Capital Territory." I feel like those should work. Well, maybe not "Capital" but definitely "Canberra."

Canberra is the captal of the ACT, not a state or territory, and the question was asking australian states or territories. But i made the same mistake if it makes you feel better! :)

That was last week. They're back in the bear family this week. (Giant pandas, only. Not red pandas.) Some doctoral candidate will challenge the latest decision and they will be back with the raccoons at some point. But apparently at present they are bears again.

Nov 19, 2020
I must say, I've lived in London for close to two years, and I've never had a full English without one or two hash browns. Genuine question: is there some sort of official council with a royal warrant, or an obscure Act of Parliament that defines the full English breakfast?
+2
Level 74

There's no definitive list of course. I think hash browns are left off only because that would make 9 and they did come from the USA originally, even though they are pretty ubiquitous in a full English these days.

What are you talking about? Cyprus is an island. The Northern part is a de facto state populated by people of Turkish origin, but that doesn't mean it's magically developed a land connection to Turkey itself.

I do appreciate that Australia decided to give its three directionally-named divisions three different naming patterns: South Australia, Western Australia, and Northern Territory.
+1
Level 81
Jun 10, 2025
And while Western Australia does contain the westernmost point of Australia, there are two states that reach farther south - Victoria and Tasmania, the latter by a lot. Meanwhile Queensland reaches farther north than the Northern Territory. So not only are they inconsistently named, their names are quite misleading.

Australian state and territory names are a mess, on top of very little effort being put into them. Queensland and Victoria are named in honour of the same queen. New South Wales could have just been 'New' or 'South', it did not need both. Then we have the Northern Territory, South Australia, and Western Australia - why South Australia isn't Southern, I don't know. That said, its not even particularly south - Victoria and Tasmania reach farther south (and Queensland reaches farther north than the Northern Territory). Tasmania is the only one with a decently original name (although I think Van Diemen's Land, the old name, sounds more interesting).

Hash browns should definitely be part of the full English breakfast - one of the most delicious parts of the meal!

If you want to keep it to 8 then it should replace fried tomato, because they aren't always included.
