What happened to Breakfast Rolls?

Breakfast rolls are alive and well it would seem.

thats cos most of the builders (who typically ate them in bulk) have either emmigrated, or joined to dole queues.

Rhubarb, Camden street. Feckin delish with a freshly fried egg on top.

Alternatively, cornish pastie on a buttered roll is where it's at!

Brian Cowen has them all put away in his basement in case of a nuclear winter.

I fondly remember the days when I used to work in Smurfits on Botanic Avenue. The Spar aka The White Spot used to do savage brekker gick.

One day, after a particularly heavy session the night before, myself and a mate from work sauntered over, selected an entire Vienna roll each, and asked that it be sliced and filled to the brim with the finest sausage, bacon, egg, hash brown and white pudding. We even bought a tin of beans, lobbed em in the microwave and split them between us, and ofcourse drenched the whole affair in Heinz ketchup.

That was the most epic brekkie roll that ever garnished the plate of a hungover factory worker, I can tell you! Didn't finish it all, but it was fcukin worth it.

Construction workers used to buy them. Not as much construction going on in the country at the moment, but I saw one enterprising young fella (with a crowd of onlookers around him) balancing a ladder on his face outside Stephen's Green yesterday.

Nothing beats a breakfast role from the butchers, Yum, yum yum!

I remember at the height of the 'tiger a newly arrived immigrant working at a deli counter putting mayonnaise on one of my mates' breakfast rolls.

I laughed. His head was wrecked.

I wish someone here would sell a Breakfast Burrito. They served them at a training course I went on in the USA, and I miss them.

I vote for the Deli in the Greystones "Lidl" shopping centre;
2 x egg, 2 x Rasher, 2 x Sausage, Black & White puddding on a nice crunchy fresh roll cut in half and drizzled with HEINZ (Not cheap crap) tomatoe sauce. 5 Euro.
Have that with an ice cold Lucozade....... ohhh,, I'm giving myself the horn here.

Ah since I've gave them up I'm after loosing 2 stone, doing a line with a girl called Joan and we're both vegetarian

Still some places in Tipp doin nice ones. Needs eggs, beans, mushrooms, pudding, rashers and sausages to be spot on.

Breakfast rolls are way too big and greasy. If I wanted something along those lines, I'd more likely go for a smaller breakfast bap. Actually, in the UK you can get nice small rolls with say one sausage and one rashers in lots of places. Perfick. Shame the pig products over there aren't a patch on ours.
