Where do we stand on baked beans?

I say yay

All good, throw some on, bachelors if your flush, lidl's if your on a budget. Avoid Heinz's offering here, not good.

Why are so many of ye people calling rashers "bacon"? Are ye trying to be sophisticated and cosmopoliton Americans or something. FFS what you have for breakfast is rashers and what you'd have for dinner with cabbage and spuds and a glass of milk is bacon....in this country anyway. Would ye call yer mobile a cell phone or the wing of the car the fender?

Saw this yesterday. My stomach turned at the sight. I do like a good fry a lot though.

This is on my to-do list this year when I go to London:

Breakfast by Hawksmoor:

That pic feeds 2 for £35 sterling, the thing under the tomatoes is bone marrow for spreading on your toast or just eating with a fork.

Heres the menu, some great stuff on there:

Anyone who has chips and beans with their fry can just fcuk right off to teatime.

Fried anything else is muck.

A clean frying pan is the best tool for making good scrambled eggs.

I love fry stuff,
but you know, they never look all that good in a picture.

Also, that's FAR too much food.

That breakfast in the pic serves 2, Id eat that much no bother.

I don't like baked sausages, they shrink and lose their juiciness, even good quality ones..

That's big but I don't believe it's 8000 calories.

That's really expensive, ~€20 each. For a fry. And apart from the bone marrow, it looks nothing out of the ordinary.

Am reading a Stephen Fry book at the moment called '' More Fool Me '':)

I like:

2 OldHausen's sausages
5 circles of Denny white pudding (my Dad says it's not real pudding but I like it)
2 Galtee Hickory Rashers
Glass of orange juice/Cup of tea/Two slices of fresh white bread and butter

ALL done in the oven...cept the juice, tea and butter.

I agree. Hawksmoor is pricey place anyway but their food is generally excellent. Although I don't think I'd be too gone on that breakfast. Bigger doesn't always mean better.

For a really good breakfast in a proper cafe in Central London, The Regency is hard to beat.

Actually, I don't think it looks very big at all, considering that's for two people and the price charged is a bit ridiculous.

Spice burgers, in a fry? What the actual f*ck?

Rashers, sausages and pudding grilled. Mushrooms and eggs fried.Toast... toasted. Beans optional. And if yer feeling fancy, cut the top off a tomato, hollow out some of the segments inside, pop some cheese in and grill that too. Plus a pint glass of orange juice (no bits!).

For me tomorrow though, it'll be eggs benedict. *adjusts monocle*

I could see a spice burger working alright in a fry, but can it be grilled or does it need time in a pre-heated oven, ergo being a bit of a nuisance to add?

You get them in packs in the shops there not the kind u get in the chipper.

Id normally grill them or microwave them.

Lovely with a nice runny fried egg on top and in between two lovely soft pieces of buttered bread!!

You might as well try to convince Nick Griffin to consider the benefits of more races and religions in the UK.

It ain't happening! :mad:

Don't do it, you'll be dragging the unity and integrity of the REAL fry up ingredients into the mud!

Multiburgeralism is a proven failure!
Defend rights for egg whites!
Love Breakfast vote NSB (No Spice Burgers)!






And that's my cue for bedtime.

You can't beat a dried out sausage for either taste or flavour.....

My death row breakfast would be a fry......smoked rashers, decent sausages, two fried eggs, B&W pudding [the nice one's from Westport], proper hash brownes 'merican style, plenty of toast and a pot of coffee - sorted

sabat

Disgusting way to start a day; it just makes you parched and bloated from all the salt and it probably uses up a whole day's calorie allowance in one go.

danger_mouse_tm

Here's my unique fry:

Fire up the oven to 160 and throw in a glass dish containing halved vine tomatoes doused in olive oil and basil.
Go do 20 minutes on the exercise bike and come back and warm up the frying pan with a knob of butter. put four eggs into that tiny little saucepan and beat the livin jaysus out of them with a plastic fork (You don't want that cancer causin' teflon favouring your eggs).
Throw a pack of dry cured pancetta from Super valu (€2!) onto your pan and get your two plates out. Keep stirring them eggs and lift off the heat just as they start to break apart. Stir them out onto the plates, flip the pancetta and then use a slotted spoon to pick the tomatoes out of the glass dish. When the growler raises her afro head, you can shlap the meat on the plates Yumm!

Home made ones are yummy ��. Lost on the spice burger thing too though. Miss the real superquinn sausages, they haven't been right for years, butchers only now.

I'd have that lot gone on my own!

i use the petrol station rasher trick and lay them overlapping on a tray in the oven, so that (aside from the one on the far end) just the fatty bit is sticking out, no need to turn it at all.

that way the loin part is all soft and moist, but the fat is properly rendered and crispy.

I don't understand the fascination with ****ty cuts of pork for breakfast in Ireland and the UK. It's all horrible tasting and unhealthy to boot.

boobar

Not spice burgers anyway.

For me...sausage, egg, black and white pud, rashers and to crown it off......boxty!

Jayse, I'm hungry now!

Actually, many components of a fry aren't unhealthy at all.

(Real) Butter = healthy (fry everything in butter)

Eggs = healthy

Rashers = healthy

Mushrooms = healthy

Tomatoes = healthy

Potatoes = healthy


Sausages and pudd would be more processed so less healthy. Bread in small doses would be fine. Beans are fine too.

So overall, not too shabby. Huge kcal content, but many people don't eat them all the time. I'd only have them maybe 2-4 times a year.

steddyeddy

French toast with a fry is heaven. In fact I may make some now.

I like sausages and eggs and rashers but the rest no thanks

The perfect fry involves a drive to Fidelma's in Dunshaughlin, ordering a large fry, then having someone carry you back to the car and laying you down in the back seat if you manage to finish it!

Not just the biggest, but hands down the best fry going.

Fidelmas is dynamite. I have driven from cabra to dunshauglin for it a few time but Clarks in Cabra is better.

I have to say, the large breakie there is a vulgar amount of food!

Remmy

Also soda bread fried in the juices of the fry at the very end. nom

Not a big fan of a fry up tbh. Most I'd have would be a bacon and egg sambo.
Do get a fierce craving every so often for kedgeree though

Mushrooms, spinach, fresh fish, burgers and probably a few other things I can't think of now should only ever be fried, not together obviously.

Fish and burgers taste nice from a barbeque too though. I'm getting hungry now :-)

Love a good fry but cant understand how people like toast with it, soda bread all the way

monty_python

I just got served breakfast in bed in a hotel in bantry bay 😈

Shenshen

I'd have some when we're staying at a hotel somewhere, so maybe 2 or 3 times a year. And that's mostly because the other breakfast options tend to be a bit limited in most places - no soy milk to go with the horrible little packaged cereals, no sliced cheese to put on toast, no soft-boiled eggs, no honey and usually very little by way of fresh fruit. So the fried eggs, mushrooms and baked beans are the only options left.

I'm not the biggest fan, I have to say. The amount of fat just gives me heartburn and I feel slightly sick for much of the morning.

allibastor

2 sausage, 2 rasher, black and white pudding, Mushrooms, beans, chips, hash brown, 2 runny eggs, 2 slices of brown toast.

I would eat a fry every day If I could as I usually don't eat much for the day after it.


MMMMMMMM, I may go for a fry today
