A cafe in Leeds is selling a full English breakfast inside a loaf of bread, and we are completely obsessed.
The creation of the Greasy Pig cafe in Headingley, this bad boy breakfast puts your traditional fry up to shame - piling all of those essential ingredients into a hefty white bloomer casing.
Comprised of two sausages, two hash browns, fried mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, two rashers of bacon and two fried eggs sunny side up, it's all crammed inside a freshly hollowed-out bloomer then topped with a buttered loaf 'lid'.
To finish things off, it's then served with a pot of baked beans on the side - and whilst it's not mandatory, you know you need a good strong cup of tea or coffee to wash that bread down with too.
The ultimate hangover cure, the 'breakfast loaf' is not a new item at the cafe but has proven a long standing favourite with its customers over the years.
Priced at just £11, it's an absolute steal too.
Of course, if that's not up your street there's plenty more to choose from at the Greasy Pig too - from the traditional full English fry up to burgers, grilled sandwiches, 14-inch subs and even salad bowls.
Whilst the menu stretches throughout the day here, there really are some impressive breakfast dishes on oiffer.
A full 'muffin bar' offers super stacks of English oven bottom muffins, tiered just like dirty burgers, with all your breakfast essentials jammed inside.
Diners can choose from veggie and vegan options, as well as opting for different combinations of egg, sausage and bacon.
Elsewhere, you'll find the likes of pancakes, loaded fries and hot dogs. The Greasy Pig really is a brilliant one-stop scran shop.
American pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has outlined her ambitions for 2026 - and one of them involves a trip to Leeds.
It's safe to say the concept of Olivia Rodrigo taking a stroll down Briggate or waiting for a train at Platform 16 is one we're struggling to get our heads around, but we're absolutely not mad about it.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is known for her love of the UK, having been spotted spending chunks of time in both Manchester and London over recent years.
But in a recent interview with Hits Radio UK, Olivia Rodrigo stated she wanted to explore more of the UK. And the city at the top of her list? Leeds.
When asked if she has a favourite area of the UK, she said: "I spent some time in Manchester which was really nice. Very inspiring, so many great bands from there.
"I spent some time in Wales too, which was fun. I've been around but I need to go and see more things. I really want to go to Leeds this year. I think that'll be fun. Just like as a spectator, I think that'll be cool."
You know what Olivia, it absolutely will.
Interviewer Will Best then suggests she attends a Leeds match to which she responds "yes" enthusiastically.
So next time we're at Elland Road we'll definitely be keeping a firm eye out for Miss Rodrigo who we've no doubt will look exceptional in a Leeds United jersey.

In case you missed it, a bakery in Bramley has received lots of attention recently after people have sampled some of its impressive bread and pastries before raving about it online.
Since then, Ruth, the mastermind behind it all, has generated queues from her summer house-turned bakehouse with people coming from far and wide to sample her flaky favourites and doughy delights.
Baking for more than 10 years and opening The Fat Pigeon just outside of Leeds city centre three years ago, there's no denying that the pastries and more produced here are some of the best.
This micro-bakery has a mighty menu and although Ruth's personal tastes might lean more savoury, the menu heavily favours sugary baked goods.
Anyone who loves a good sweet treat will be glad to know there's croissants, traybakes, cinnamon buns and the star-studded kouign-amann, a French-originating buttery pastry that covers all bases as it's sugary, sweet and slightly salty - heaven in baked form.

There's plenty more dough-based delights that cater to the savoury palate too. Think sourdough loaves, baguettes and focaccia that's oozing with perfectly paired herbs and generous amounts of oil.
What makes this place even more special is the fact that not only the products being created and consumed made by a Leeds local, most if not all of the offerings are made using Yorkshire produce.
Ruth has made sure to keep local produce at the heart of all her bakes with Met's in Farsley who providing cheese, Whiteley's contributing fresh vegetables like parsley and rhubarb, flour from East Yorkshire's own Stringers and The Organic Dales for any dairy items - it really doesn't get more Yorkshire than this.
Enough from us, social media user's are singing this bakery's praises too as one commented "Delicious. Delicious. Delicious" and another going as far to say, "Beats every pastry I had in Copenhagen".

Hopefully you're reading this on a Friday or early Saturday morning, otherwise all I can do is apologise for tempting you with all this bakery's homemade golden goodness so far in advance.
The Fat Pigeon is open from 9am to 12pm every Saturday meaning you can stock up on some of Leeds' best bread and pastries to tie you over until the next weekend, depending on your will power.
