Whats a Full Irish?

bigneacy

What to you constitutes a Full Irish?

My version of a Full Irish is 2 Sausages, 2 Rashers, White & Black Pudding, Egg, Fried Mushrooms and Fried Tomato. Along with some Brown Bread.
(I don't personally like mushrooms and tomato, but when I make it for customers they go in too)

• Are beans in there?
• Hash Browns?
• Anything else?

Yep, you need beans and hash browns also

If you get an Ulster Fry then you need soda bread

Burning Eclipse

What you said, but take out the mushrooms, and put in the beans. That is what I take to be a 'Full Irish'.

Take out the hash browns, add in beans and yes you do need some brown bread as well

bigneacy

Does beans not make it a full english?

Dizzyblonde

I think beans make it a full English. Potato farls make it a full Irish, though hash browns will do.

d.a.r.r.a.g.h

Never in an Irish B&B have I got hash browns, but I always got beans.

helimachoptor

Not bothered what its called but it needs 2 sausages, 2 rashers, pudding (white/black or mix) egg (fried/poached/scrambled), beans, hash browns/potato farls and a nice cup of tea!

Was curious to find out what people thought...

Was thinking of re-doing the menu, leaving the full irish as it is and maybe doing a Belly Buster or something... 2 rashers, 2 sausages, white & black, 2 eggs, beans, hash-browns, potato bread, mushrooms and tomato. As well as a round of toast and some brown bread and a pot of tea.

And there's me just about to say "Where's the tea & toast?"

And if you were being very flash - you could throw in some some fried liver & kidneys.

Never have i got fried mushrooms with a full irish

A full English has beans, I should know, I've been living in England for 6 years and it's on every menu over here.

Also...in an 'Irish bar' on the Algarve, you get beans in the Full Irish...but the Irish bar is owned and operated by an English couple.

Beans in an Full Irish? No way!!

This was my thoughts on it also... I didn't want to put the beans in on principle... maybe thats my patriotism coming through

hamchops

sausages,pudding,bacon,eggs,mushrooms,beans,tomato tea and toast does it for me, pork chops? whats that all about?

bigneacy

a B&B in kilkenny... all the fries were out. everything sorted. We were munching away and then shes comes out with..... a bowl full of pork chops! not big rashers or anything... big fecking pork chops in a bowl!!

A breakfast that is bad for you cholesterol, especially if its fried!:-) Saying that i love a Full Irish. I must say ive never had potato bread before so id be interested in trying it. Whats it like? You can't beat a good sausage either.

bigneacy

It's hard to describe... Its like a really rich, heavy white bread... Nice tho!

evercloserunion

I don't actually think beans are part of a full Irish, but I don't see the point of a fry without them.

rorymcgrory

There are no beans in a full Irish. And how could you leave out black and white pudding OP? The humanity!

Sorry... only just realised I did!!!

The Hill Billy

Fried bread - I forgot fried bread!!!

It's not something that you generally get served when eating out & I don't often make it at home. But that's all gonna change on Saturday. NYOM!

No black and white pudding. The poll is deeply flawed. And beans have no place in a fry, never have, never will.

A fry is various bits of fried pig, with a couple of eggs - and if you are feeling healthy - maybe a fried tomato.
