    Nah, slide it straight into the bin and tell them to do whatever the **** they like.

    Anyway, I’d say your 9 year old can only fry a perfect egg for you. There is no “the” perfect egg.

    Tell him what way you want your egg cooked and he’ll cook it perfectly. How dare you.

    None. He’s too good at eggs.

    He can cook steaks and burgers too, to order.

    An awful lot of lazy fukkers (cafes) in Ireland deep fry the fry-up which is pure lazy and a bit rotten and only exacerbates the artery clogging potential. They even deep fry the rashers FFS. I'm not having that. An Irish fry should be done on a pan, even a grill but never deep fried. I can see them now chucking the whole lot in and only leaving the egg out cos it just makes a mess of the fryer. They'd have the tomatoes and beans in there if they could get away with it. Cheeky ****ers.

    A mate said years ago that having a salad and then standing at school bus stop in the freezing cold didn’t work for him. You need an irish breakfast sometines

    No, they're right. My 9 year old son can fry a perfect egg. My 7 year old is getting there, if he doesn't have it right in 6 months he'll be disowned.

    There is no excuse for not being able to fry an egg.

    Do you flip the fried egg or just keep the yolk up and spoon hot oil on it to cook the top?

    I'd hate to visit those type of cafes.

    Depends if I want over east or sunny side up.

    Personally I prefer sunny side up so I spoon oil over the yoke.

    Why are fry-ups considered unhealthy?
    They’re my favourite meal and if cooked properly I don’t believe that type of food is unhealthy at all. It sustains me for most of the day and I don’t need to be snacking.

    I'd imagine the eggs, sausages, pudding, rashers and butter (if you're having toast or bread with it) would probably tot up to a pretty significant amount of your recommended fat intake if not over it. There's also the fact that all of the meat is processed which I believe is associated with an increased cancer risk.

    God, they are marvellous though.
