What's the difference between an ulster and a full Irish?

Veg roll and more breads. No white pudding. Pancake. Maybe beef sausage.

It varies a lot though, even in Northern Ireland.

I think the answer is going to be "No, it'd be suicidal to use that name", and the minor differences would not be the most popular additions/removals anyway.

You can get potato farls in Lidl if you want to cook one yourself (soda bread is easily available)

More to the point: is there something in the standard (if there is one) Ulster Fry that is typically not available in a breakfast down here? For what's usually called the 'mini breakfast', most places let you pick a set number of items from a menu if the 'Full Irish' is too much for you.

May as well see if you can get a full English while you are at it!

All over GB + Ire there are local variations - what you loose in bread you gain in better black pudding etc


Potato farls are a complete bastardisation of the perfectly fine tattie scone tho..

Veg roll isn’t available here. Nor are beef sausages or proper soda farls. (maybe you’d get them all in a supermarket in a border county but that’s about it).

A few years ago you wouldn’t have seen the pancakes or potato bread but they’ve gone very common in supermarkets if you’re making your own fry, but it would be extremely rare for them to be on the options for a fry in Ireland whereas you’ll nearly always see it up there.

You pour vinegar all over an Irish breakfast until its bitter as f**k and its an Ulster Fry

Potato farls are an absolutely critical element and exceptionally rarely offered in Dublin. You can buy them here (I do, frequently enough - they've terrible shelf life and can even be moldy on the shelf but they freeze perfectly) for home frying though.

Gallagher's Boxty House

Breakfast menu.
2 Fried Eggs, Black & White Pudding, Streaky bacon, Sausages, Crispy boxty, Grilled Tomato & Sautéed Mushroom

The boxty is definitely a taste of Ulster.

Mod note:What has that got to do with a breakfast? Be warned that trolling isn't tolerated in this forum.

What!! Boxty is most commonly made and eaten in Longford, Sligo, Mayo, Leitrim and to a lesser extent Fermanagh and Donegal.

Just make substitutions, additions, subtractions when you're ordering. It's gotten out of hand. The localised, regional, national fookin whatever. G'luck.

The Monaghan crowd have taste for it and they go mad for it in Northwest Cavan as well.

That makes four Ulster counties and there's nothing lesser about their appetites for boxty.

He's looking for a feed of grub not a geography lesson

The Supervalu farls blow the other supermarket ones outta the water. Lovely with a runny fried flegg on top

Boxty originated in Leitrim.

Between a Full Irish, Full English, Full Ulster, Full Welsh, Full Scottish, what's everyone's favourite??

It's kinda ridiculous, isn't it?

I do kinda like the option of haggis, though!

It's fried spuds, I don't think any county can really claim to have invented it...

Switzerland invented the boxty!

You can buy four different brands of boxty in Ballinamore Co Leitrim.

It's definitely a thing to the Northern half of the country though. In fact I'd say it is the most distinguishing mark of the Ulster Fry, that and the farl.

PS Curious why no white pudding: do they not like that in Ulster?

Ulster. What they lack in white pudding they make up for in bread.

Do they not have Ulster Fry in Donegal, Cavan or Monaghan then :P

Probably have variances of it.

Edit - variances?? Variations.

Closest I can think of having in Dublin was a spot called Violets where north circular road hits Dorsett Street (across from where the Big tree pub used to be).
Proper greasy spoon cafe type place, lovely stuff and they had potato bread and fried bread as part of it as well as a few other touches. That said its been a few years since I had it there so might not be the same.

The ideal would be from each region:

From Scotland:
Square Sausage and proper 'thin' potato scones (Fried dumpling and haggis optional)
From Ireland:
Good black pudding, bacon generally much better (Superquinn sausages also, but see below)
England:
Decent regional Sausages (Cumberland, Lincolnshire etc)
Welsh:
No clue!
Ulster (or Belfast at least) - decent batch loaf slices

Throw in what ever combo of fried eggs/ bean/ mushroom/ avocado whatever ye like on top!
