The BreakFast Roll

MidlandsM

...yeah, the good ol' Breakfast Roll....a heart attack in a giant sambo...

do you miss it?

Did you ever have one?

Do you still have them?

nocoverart

Why would I miss them? have they gone extinct?

newballsplease

Probably healthier to eat the wrapper they come in !

the keen edge

I like, or possibly hate, how some enterprising delis starting calling then Breakfast Baguettes. This then was justification for charging a extra Euro.

No, they're awful, stop it

corkgsxr

I hate that most won't take the 2 seconds to cut the fat off the rashers.

Some plonkers think they were a symbol out of the Celtic Tiger years... a fcuking sausage and rasher on a roll like!

That and decking... they'd never have existed if everyone wasn't mad for property!

Two eggs.


Two sausage.


Two rasher.


Two bacon.


Etc.

Sauve

Theyre great after a long cycle when you can hardly walk with the hunger.
Kinda counter-productive though!

When I was abroad I missed them. I remember being on the way to work one morning after an all mighty amount the night before, and I honestly would have paid 500 euro for a breakfast roll. Closest I got was a bacon and egg mcmuffin, which is like saying you wanted to sleep with Sharon Ni Bheolain but she wasn't around so you had a crack at Twink instead.

I'm having one tomorrow though

Why the Fcuk would you wanna do that??
That's the best part!!

Yamanoto

If I make it myself, sure.

Congealed & glutinous trotter in a bun from a Spar or Texaco, nope.

The extra euro is for the shipping it cost to get it delivered from France that very morning.

Mr Simpson

The strangest breakfast roll I ever had was: Sausages, Rashers, Hash Browns, Runny Eggs, Beans!! You needed a knife and fork, but by christ it was gorgeous.

I dont really get how decking can be a symbol of the celtic tiger, I mean its not exactly hard or expensive to put in, and maintenance of it costs f^%k all.

Or put the word 'gourmet' in front of it and tag on an extra fiver to the price.

There are probably some loons left around that will pay extra, thinking they are getting something better.

You should stay away from the Deli Corvus. Make it a New Years Resolution of yours.

Had one on saturday, it was delicious. Like them with egg and hash browns, but no pudding. The are a 'uniquely irish' invention apparently. Another wonderful contribution to global cuisine!

Mully_2011

Used to love them wouldnt touch one now though fecking rotten theres about 2000 calories in one

It has to be drenched in HP.Anybody who puts red sauce on a breakfast roll is an anti christ.

If you've moved abroad they have

I love a good hefty roll in the morning.
The wife likes one too, to fill her up - so I give her one.

(We get them in a garage down the road from us)

Temptamperu

Anyone ever put cheese and red sauce on theirs? Its most tasty.

Breakfast roll, a magnificent Irish gift to the world.

TBH the opinion of anyone who calls tomato ketchup red sauce doesn't bother me too much.:pac:

Would it not be blue mold.

starviewadams

Wouldn't eat the ones out of a deli where the rashers are usually hard and lukewarm and the sausages are as cheap as possible.

Make one most weekends with Clonakilty sausages and black pudding,the whites of two fried eggs,and some crispy streaky bacon.No sauce,mayo or cheese either!

shruikan2553

If made fresh they are great. Otherwise they are so dry you need a drink to have any chance of swallowing.

Get yourself a breakfast roll

Sausage
bacon
pudding
egg
hashbrown


Then get them to throw some chicken on the griddle and lash that on top, thats where its at, Delish

Haven't had a full breakfast roll in years.

Had a black pudding, fried onion and mushroom half roll last week with ketchup. Was pretty damn tasty tbh.

hattoncracker

I love them...

Mallons deli in Monaghan used to be my favourite place to get one.

Best place I've ever gotten one was at a stall at the Mahon Point farmers market.. He fries everything in front of you.

Favourite combo:

2 bacon,
2 sausage,
Egg
Ketchup.

No hash browns or any of that fancy stuff.. Give me PIG!!!!

I had my first one the other day, 2 sausages, 1 piece of bacon, one black pudding bit, and a hash brown.

A few years ago I went on a training course in the USA (Fort Collins, Colorado), and on a couple of days they served Breakfast Burritos. The first time I'd already had breakfast at the hotel, but it didn't stop me scarfing one down. T'was Loverly. :pac:

yeppydeppy

I've never understood the breakfast roll? If you want a cooked breakfast it deserves the few minutes it takes to sit and eat it properly, without spilling half of it all over yourself.

Cienciano

I'd never get one in spar, but a matt the rashers breakfast roll is amazing

Hande hoche!

Haven't had one in ages. Must pick one up at some stage.

First Explorer

Shop on Jamestown road does awesome breakfast rolls, have to admit I'm a fan of tomato ketchup on mine, but why do some shops insist on using terrible cheap ketchup and ruin the roll...

srfc19

Slightly OT but living across the water, they dont do chicken fillet rolls.

Probably the thing I miss most from home. Had my fill over christmas though!!

Fr_Dougal

No tomato ketchup on a breakfast roll. It's ok on a steak sambo or a burger, but not on a breakfast roll; completely overwhelms the taste of all other ingredients of the breakfast roll.
