No you are incorrect. Show me where the there is an agreed ISO on the contents and preparation method of an Irish Fry Up?

You're even using American terminology in your "Irish" fry"-up"!

I used to love them

Dunnes Newbridge have two varieties of Granby sausages - a premium range and regular. Saw them on Thursday.

So you can make an American breakfast in Ireland, but it's still an American breakfast as determined by the bulk of its constituent servings, not an Irish Fry 'Up' just because you serve it for breakfast in Ireland.

I'm thinking of ordering food later from Just-Eat so I'll probably get an Irish. But should I get a a traditional Irish Szechuan or maybe a vindaloo?

You're basically agreeing with the post you're quoting there. Maybe you meant to.

That would have ro be made in Britain. Go to tesco or M&S and you'll get one of the premade meals there if you want one

I dunno how the idea of a big, tasteless greasy dish as the first thing to have when you wake up is appealing, I can't be the only one who thinks this (I'm talking about getting the full irish if you're in a hotel or wherever - one made up at home might be different) Do you not feel like crap afterwards? At most I'd have the beans and fried tomato along with a continental breakfast.

This is more my idea of a fry up, maybe with cannellini or kidney beans cooked with tomato purée separate from the avocado. mmmm

Boxty! Ya can't have a proper fry up without Boxty. Hate getting a fry with two of everything and then one egg. What use is one egg. Miserable feckers.

Black Pudding... urgh

Kidney, sliced and fried with onions and some toast. That's it. Tea is British so **** off with that, a nip of whiskey instead.

Big difference between Farls and Potato Bread. Farls are Soda bread and Potato Bread is make from, well, potato.

I always assumed the nordies were eating potato cakes. We also eat soda bread with the fry but it doesn't look like what they're eating.

EDIT: Apparently, they eat both.

Sausage, rasher, eggs, liver, black and white pudding, a lamb or pork chop, potato bread or soda bread. No mushrooms, tomato or beans and certainly none of that American abomination of hash browns. A few fried onions are permitted.

What’s the point of it? It doesn’t taste particularly good, it doesn’t look good, it’s mostly just breadcrumbs with a suggestion of meat. A perplexing foodstuff if ever there was one.

Amazing this concoction, in any of its variants, is still available, let alone celebrated. Its horrendous. A vile assembly of assorted highly unhealthy foods. In a gloupy, sticky, fatty, melange, that really is the nearest thing to a dog's dinner. I wouldnt feed to a dog even.
Some yoghurt, fresh bread, a piece of fresh fruit, and a café au lait or a cappuccino according to your preference. Leaves the stodge of a fry for dead.
Really is time to start a health campaign warning people of its dangers, nudging it towards extinction.

You don’t have to eat a fry if you don’t want one. That’s your choice entirely.

Properly rotten thing to deny your dog a sausage or three, the odd bit of a rasher and if it’s lucky a couple of bits of pudding every now and then. You’re probably one of those lunatics that give their dogs dentastix. That’s no kind of life for a dog. You hippy.

Im sorry that you lost your tastebuds, I hope you get them back soon. Everyone knows it's unhealthy but it's by an absolute mile the best tasting thing you can have for breakfast.. and tomatoes are a no no

Yeah but your brekkie isn't a fry.

My fry is probably unusual
...... hash browns, beans, crispy smoked rashers, fried or scrambled eggs, mushrooms, toast..... all washed down with a cappuccino.

No tomato, sausages or pudding!

Beans are the cornerstone of good fry up.

Mushrooms and tomatoes can f*ck off. Beans are savage though

By definition Beans are not part of a fry - unless you fry them. :eek:

If you buy a decent one it's delicious. There are no breadcrumbs in them and certainly no meat. Pork blood, pork fat, or sometimes beef suet, and a cereal, preferably oatmeal, and some oat groats plus seasoning is all that's in it.

My grandmother used to make her own whenever the family slaughtered a pig.

You don't seem to even know what black pudding is.


As I said. Can't be trusted..

Chocolate.

Chocolate is the one item that should NEVER be included in a fry.

Because it ruins the perfectly good chocolate.

Lard was only mentioned once in the thread which is a shame. It is an integral part of the meal. Proper fried bread is buttered bread fried in lard, and then buttered again. Lots of butter.

It sounds delicious, should be marketed much more. Can't get any here, must try making it.
