Nah. Can't beat Clonakilty or Jack McCarthy in Cork, boyyyy! My friends go mad for them and take back loads when they're over.

Beans ruin it, the sauce gets everywhere, no beans!

Other than that, 2 good quality sausage, 2 rasher, runny egg, 1 black,1 white and a bundle of toast with real butter. All washed down with a nice cold beverage, my personal preference is a can of coke.

I am going to have a hunger busting fry. I am male and have the metabolism many would die for. Might even have a round two. Hard luck, woman.

Oh they have awards for sausages now, well if they have the razzies I suppose they give awards for any old shite.

Oh the hash browns are gorgeous, my favourite part! No beans though, nice with mashed potatoes, not with a fry.

Ok now Im hungry and it's only 10am!!!

I;m a porridge person too, nothing like it.
However I do have a fry on these days and don't feel a bit guilty

Christmas morning
Easter morning
the Morning I go on holidays (airport fry)
First morning of having visitors

Thats about it - can go for months without one, but when I have one, I flipping love it

Anyone ever have a fry for dinner? We do that every now and again, tis nice. Stick some soda bread and some waffles with it then, more substantial! :pac:

Two Cookstown thick sausages, one black, one white, one vegetable roll. Two nice rashers. Fried soda bread, wheaten bread and potato bread, maybe a fried pancake at a push. Crowned with a soft fried egg. Carlsberg don't do breakfasts but if they did it would be an Ulster fry. Fit to choke a horse! ;-)

WTF is a vegetable roll?

Saint_Mel

Not sure if its still there but the 3 Steps Cafe in Bondi had a "Big Oz Country Breakfast" which had all the ingredients of a full Irish, plus chips on top and a steak underneath it all! Definately contributed to me returning home with the Sydney Stone!

In fairness there is nothing Irish about it. There is an Ulster fry up which is different and found only in Ulster. What's the difference? Unleavened bread. I used to eat cornflakes for breakfast, quarter pounder or ulster fry up for morning tea, quarter pounder and chips for lunch, either McDonalds, KFC pizza Bruger King etc in large for evening tea and for supper tubs of ice cream, bags of doritos, you get the picture.
Your meat is insane. Go vegan. Veg is food. Meat isn't. Meat = heart thinning tablets, fat and weak muscles. Veg = lean iron and vitamin rich food evolved to be purposely tasty. But taste of meat? You are insane, and through selective subsidy, your government is keeping you that way while the rest of the world changes. Go vegan. The fry up is not a natural Irish breakfast. Stuff with hazlenuts in it is.

I'd rather chop my own balls off than go vegan tbh!

Same shape and size as a black or white pudding. Made of minced beef from brisket etc then flavored with leeks, carrot etc finely chopped and lots of pepper. Tasty little bugger!

Ulster Fry ftw!
Can't beat a breakfast with soda bread

I know but with all the other bits in it, it's at least three of your five a day!

Matt the Rashers famous breakfast ftw.
3 sausage
2 rashers
2 fried eggs
1 hash brown
mushrooms
beans
Black and white pudding
liver
tomato
Tea and toast

They replace the liver with an extra sausage or rasher if you don't want it. Cures any hangover.

mikemac1

How could you even finish all that? ^^^^^

Take out the mushrooms, pudding, liver and tea and add in a glass of orange juice and thats your perfect breakfast.

saywhatyousee

Beans are horrible and should be no where near a fry.Two runny eggs, boxty,and streaky bacon breakfast of champions.

Orange juice with a hangover, are you mad

Jason Todd

2 x Sausages
2 x Rashers (Crispy)
2 x Black Pudding
2 x White Pudding
4 x Hash Browns
Scoop of Beans
2 x Slices of Toast/Soda Bread
Glass of chilled OJ



That's my perfect fry, don't like eggs or tea

jimmy the car

As long as there's enough toast to leave the plate so that it doesn't have to be washed after then it's all good for the essential runny eggs and beans....

Another question, when is it too late in the day for a fry? When I used to live in Dublin there was place in Portobello (name escapes me now) that on more than one occasion after a night out you could go in there for a bottle of wine and a fry, so wrong yet so right in many many ways!

.ak

I'm a fan of creamed mushrooms with mine, and poached eggs if I'm feeling particularly chef'y.

Hrmm, now I'm hungry.

They actually give you orange juice too, forgot about that. Small glass though.

TPD

My own personal fry is a few sausages, a few slices of bacon (both rasher and streaky if possible), a potato waffle or two, a potato farl or two, a few slices of fried salami (don't knock it till you've tried it), and a couple of toasted buttered breakfast muffins. Sauce can be heinz ketchup or barbecue sauce depending on what's in. Washed down with tea and orange juice.

Why is it that Germans, French etc are disgusted by what we eat breakfast? When I used to work in a multinational in Dublin, they could never get their head around the fact that we eat this stuff for breakfast.
In Germany they eat cured meats and cheese and yoghurt etc for breakfast if they're eating out in a cafe for breakfast as a treat.

oh god, you're so right, what an amazing intellect you have, why didn't I think of tha--- oh no, wait, I have tried that shit and they are fucking awful too. Mostly full of rusk. What the shit is the point of championing something that is at best 40% meat and 60% "other"?

It's just how Irish (and UK) sausages are, being the "best" of that lot isn't an achievement.

What's the most expensive brand you tried?

Cured meats??? Cheese??? My God, those foreign freaks :pac:

perfect fry = fried egg, rashers, black and white pudding, MALLONS sausages and toast preferably cut into triangles:cool: beans just ruin the whole thing

*shrug* - I've tried shaws a few times and then called it a day, sinking more money into a fundamentally flawed product seemed like a fools errand.

Are we talking an extra couple of euros on sausages or a major life changing investment here?

suicide_circus

The most important aspect is the quality of the produce.
Personally i like my rashers and pudding grilled with sausages and eggs fried. And two black puddings, don't like white. The toast should be thick and white and not toasted too long. Eggs should be runny. Mug of tea. Mmmm

Yes, in this case of a foodstuff that is tubes of pig taint and rusk, I am actually talking about a life changing investment.

This is exactly what is happening.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused by the melodramatic 'sinking more money into a fundamentally flawed product'. It suggested something more than tubes of pig taint and rusk.

Would hate to see your reaction when you lose a five euro note...

I don't get it, a sausage is supposed to have rusk or bread in it, what's the problem?
And "at best" 40% meat? Not sure about all brands, but superquinn sausages are 80% pork.
